wool ADVANCING IN PRICE.
Free Raw Material Policy vindicated
Now Mills Started.

The Mckinleyites will find no conso-
lation in tho review of developments in
the wool industry for tho first half of
1896 made i'll the current issue of The
American Wool and Cotton Reporter
Reports from the leading markets Of the
country show that the upward move
ment in the price of wool continues, the
average rise during tho past fortnight
being cents n pound. with the market
very active and the sales the largest rc-
corded in the corresponding period for
several years. There has also been IN
advance i'll London prices, and tho posi-
ton of wool in both hcnlisphcres is pro
nounced strong with indications of con
tinuod strength.
The demand for consumption is large,
az our mills are using vast quantities"
OF woods. and their requirements are
likely to be large i'll future. There is "a
growing belief on the part OF both dealer
and grower that wool is good property.
The record of new mill enterprises set
on foot during the past six months footS
mp 20l against only 10 in tho first half
of 1894, which, in Tho Reporters opin-
''ii' wi ihCiiiS w i'itiiNc tiitt
the clouds of depression have been Civ
ing way, and that a period of prosperity
is developing in textile lines"
Free wool is the great feature Of the
new tariff. 1t would have been worth
the long struggle We had if we had got
no other gain over the Mckinley law
than this. The putting of wool on tho
free list was one Of those revolutionary
changes which test conflicting theories
and furnish the basis for popular
Judgment rs to whether the claims made
by the reformers were we'll founded
Tho high tariff men professed TO wei
come the issue. They declared with the
utmost assurance that the change would
ruin both the woolgrowcr and the wool
manufacturer and insisted that Il trial
of tho experiment would convince overy
doubter that their contention was well
founded. Tho advocates of FREQ wool
were equally positive and confident.
The tost is now being made, and it has
already gone so far that the number of
Republicans who are ready to advocate
restoration of the old duties id daily
diminishing. Before another year has
elapsed free wool will be so firmly
established that no party will dare to

ropc-Future Outlook.
Tho shipment of 1000 tons of steel
blllcts from Youngstown, O.. to Europc
is another evidence of the advantages OF
the new tariff law to tho industrial life
of this country. 1t is tho opening of II
new field for tho purchase and consump-
ton of the products Of American mills
and holds ont the hope that whenever
there is temporary cessation i'll the de
mand at home market may DO found
abroad, and thus the mills continued in
operation to the infinite advantage of
labor.
There has been for u long time mis-
taken notion prevalent us to the causes
which excluded American industrial
products from tho markets of the world
mat Is TO say, the impression has been
that the higher rates of wages have
operated as bar against expectations
of manufactured goods Tho truth is
that this cause has had no effect in that
direction, rs is shown by this consign-
ment of billcts from Youngstown i'm
mediately following q second voluntary
advance in wages ut that point The
labor cost of production is now and has
been for years much lower here than i'll
any part of Europe The wages of nm
individual workman here is greater, it
Is true, but the producing capacity of an
American workingman is SO much high
er than that of European as to more
than cover the difference.
The real cause OF the exclusion of
American products from European mar
kets heretofore was the tax ON raw ma
terlalS. For example, the tax on ore nee
essary to produce ton Of steel billets
under the Mckinley law was not less
than 81. 80. The reduction of this amount
to about half is just sufficient to make
trade III Europe possible, and it will not
be surprising If in future a considerable
part OF the product of American ills is
marketed on the other side OF the water

SURPRISES ALL RECORDS
The Importance Of the Great Corn
Crop of 1895.
1t Is Full of Sign.fi ance From 4
Speculative Standp oint. The Es-
tmated Yield $500 $1,000
Bushels. The Farmer and
Railroad Benefi ted.

From % speculative standpoint the
great corn crop of 1895 is full Of sig
nificance. 1t means, rs nothing else does
prosperity for the railroads, and more
particularly for those roads which will
have tho initial haul of it and its prod
nets. The corn crop promises to be the
largest on record.
The estimated yield is 1850, 900, 900
bushels. There has boon no crop ap-
preaching the present ono in extent since
1891, when the production was 2,C6O,-
154, 900 bushels. The crops in the inter
vening years We're l,62S, AGA, 900 bush
els in 1892, i,6l9, 400, 900 in 1898 and
1,2l2,770, 900 i'll 1894.
Calculating that farmers will receive
30 cents bushel Tor their corn, or an
equivalent sum for tho cattle and hogs
which are fattened on it, tho value to
them of the crop OF 1895 foots up the
vast figure of $705, 900, 600
Reckoning the population of the Unit
ed States at 10000, 000 tho value of
the corn crop before leaving the farmer s
hands is equal to $40 for every inhabit-
ant.of the country, Allowing four per-
sons to a family, the value is equal to
$40 fer each family.
The railroads will receive an average
Of about 20 cents busbel for trans
porting the corn or the equivalent of
that sum for carrying the products of
corn, and their revenue from the crop
of 1895 will therefore be $40, 900, 900
Figuring the cost Of handling the
crop at 10 per cent of tho rates charged,
the net income Of the roads from it will
be .$l41, 900, 0oo which is equal to 8
per cent on stock and bonded indebt-
edhess of Sc, $50, 900, 900. New York
