AS REGARDS WOOL.

IL an article in recent number of the
Bankers Magazine, Mr.. S. N. D. North, a
highly intelligent gentleman and an
earnest advocate of high protective
tariff, admits that the price of wool de-
clned under Mckinley protection be-
cause it was impossible for such protec-
tion to prevent this result. 1t was in,
evitable from the increase Of wool pro-
duction elsewhere. He says further:
'But the wool clip of this country is
not going to disappear. Those who
think it is fail to take cognizance of the
steady change from the merino to the
English blood which has been in progress
in all the states east of the Mississippi
for many years, and has been extending
rapidly into the territorial states. The
farmer is learning that the raising OF
sheep for mutton primarily is on the
whole more profitable business thar
exclusive devotion to merino stock. Fret
wool is certain to force him more rapidly
in that direction. The American taste
for mutton as food is increasing; the
economic advantage of maintaining {
small flock of sheep on every farm, ever
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1895-02-21

on high priced lands, is well known; they
are the best scavengers; without much
reference to the future price of wool, they
will remain an important adjunct of
every we'll managed farm. There is no
apparent reason why our own experience
should not be a reproduction of that of
Great Britain in this respect. The free
admission of wool into that country did
for time produce a sharp reduction in
the number of sheep maintained on the
islands. But recovery soon set in, the
number slightly increased, and for many
wears now this number has remained
practically stationary at from 29,000,000
to 3l,0OO,000, the highest figure being
80, 533 900 in 1891. 1t is a remarkable
fact that the little British islands, with
free wool, should maintain within $4,000,
900 as many sheep as this vast country
has ever reached under high tariffs on
wool"
This is complete concession of the
tariff reform ground as regards wool.
Not the prediction. Free wool has come
to stay in this country.

A Word to the Wise.

The Democratic party expects its rep
resentatives at Santa Fe to serve its in
terests in every legitimate manner. 1t
is we'll to follow the dictation of your
conscience, when that supposed faculty
is in good working order, but too often
conscience is controlled by personal in
terest, and party feality is forgotten in
the effort for personal gain. The ma
tional welfare often depends upon the
success of party, and when Democrat
betrays his party, he betrays his country.
Lay aside your personal animosities long
enough to legislate for the good of the
people, and give New Mexico an appor-
tlonment, under which the people can be
properly represented at Santa Fe. Do
not make it partisan, but absolutely fair
in every detail; giving to each district
only the representation to which it is en-
titled, and then even if it is Republican,
all will be well.-Socorro Advertiser

WITH an anti-silver president to stand

probably just as we'll that the friends of
silver in the senate gave way for the APP
preparation bills, particularly as the time
is so short. This move will make still
further friends for the white metal, and
will serve to show the Wall street cor
morants that very long legislative heads
are on deck for silver. And what merry
old silver fight there will be on when the
next national campaign opens.

Economy and the Public Good.

What is it that has kept us back up to
this time, and subjected New Mexico to
the humiliation of being obliged to
figure before the world as the "tail end"
of the procession-even the tip end Of
the tail? Nothing on earth but the pol
icy which is typifed in the conduct of
those gentlemen who are anxious to
figure as swatch dogs of the treasury"
In territory like this, which is rich in
every element of material wealth, and
poor to the verge of starvation in every
means of intellectual growth, the swatch
dog of the treasury" is by all odds the
meanest and mangiest dog of the pack,
and any man who has half way appre-
citation of the condition of things in this
territory, should resent that as the most
opprobious epithet that the English Ian
guage is capable of framing. The "econ-
omy'' which denies liberal appropria-
tions to all the charitable and educational
institutions of New Mexico.is exactly the
same kind of economy as that practiced
| by the man who has abundant means and
vet refuses to buy sufficient food and
clothing for his family. He may save
money, it is true, but he doesn't do any
thing that he has reason to be proud Of
Economy is a commendable virtue, but
refusal to provide that which is necessary
is not economy at all, but extravaganza
of the most wasteful kind. New Mexico
is abundantly able to support all her
charitable and educational institutions in
a proper manner, and the misguided pol
icy which has prevented her from doing
this in the past has cost her $1,000 in
wealth and development for every dollar
that she has saved"
Let the present legislature learn some
thing from the past, and do something to
lift New Mexico out of the rut, even
though it does cost little money.-W.
S. B. in the Las Vegas Optic.

City Star has a larger circulation than
any other American newspaper. It's
remarkable success has been achieved
by its unfaltering adherence to the
rule of giving its readers the best that
the Stars increasing revenues could
furnish and its improved facilities
could supply. The Star was also the
first newspaper to give its readers a
full weeks papers-six evenings and
Sunday morning 10 cents, a thing
that could not be profitable except
when done on big scale on which the
Star does everything. The star was
also the first to establish a weekly
edition for the trifling price of %
cents year; 10000 regular circula-
tion for the weekly edition demon
