Significant Testimony.

There is an important vindication
OF the present tariff Us dealing with
wool from that highly intelligent gem
t!eman and earnest advocate of protec-
ton under the tariff, Mr.. S. n. D.
North. In an article in the Bankers
Magazine, MIR. North admits that wool
declined under Mckinley protection
because it was impossible for such pro.
lection to prevent this result. 1t was
inevitable from the increase of wool
production elsewhere. Ha 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 al the States east of the
mississippi for many years, and has
been extending rapidly into the ter.
ritorial States. The farmer is learn.
ing that the raising of sheep for NUT
ton primarily is on the whole more
profitable business than exclusive dc.
votion to merino stock. Free wool is
certain to force him more rapidly in
that direction. Tho American taste
for mutton rs food is increasing; the
economic advantage of maintaining n
small flock of sheep on every farm,
even ON high priced lands,
is we'll known; they are
the best scavengers; without much
reference to tho future price of wool,
they will remain an important adjunct
Of every well-mauaged farm. There
is no apparent reason why our own ex.
perience should not be reproduction
of that of Great Britain in this re-
spect. The FREQ admission of wool
into that country did for time pro.
duce sharp reduction in the number
of sheep maintained on the islands.
But recovery soon set in, the mum.
Der slightly increased, and for many
years now this number has remained
practically stationary at from 30, OO0,-
600 to 81, 100000 the highest figure
being 33, 533, 900 in 1891. 1t is u re-
markable fact that tho little British
Islands, with free wool, should main
tain within 5000, 900 as many sheep
as this vast country has ever reached
under. high tariffs on wool"
Here is.a complete concession of tho
thrift reform ground as regards wool,
and gratifying evidence that free wool
has come to stay in this country

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
SCIENCE OF swKErrse.

Tho true science of sweeping the
most untidy room is to do 1t with a
stout parlor broom and raise not SO
much as ga sneeze OF dnst." No mat.
ter whether carpet or mating or a
nice wood mosaic is the floor cover.
ing, the work can be accomplished
with absolute neatness and despatch
by laying a band of well-dampened
sawdust along one side of the floor and
sweeping this over and over clear
across tho apartment. The sawdust
quickly lioks up every mote and bit
of lint which the broom sets stirring
before it has time to float off into the
air, and SO protects furniture and the
sweeper rs we'll. Such process can
be carried on in sick room without
the least Inconvenience to the invalid,
and in this event, or where nurseries
or school rooms are cleaned, it is wise
to sprinkle little disinfeotant in the
sawdust. When tho work is done
carefully gather it all in o dust-pan
and toes it into the kitchen fire, burn
ing it between meals.-New York

MCheap WOODEN Goods.v

The American Economist. tho great
Mckinley organ on February 18th
contained an editorial entitled "Cheap
Woolen Goods" This editorial de-
clares that (l) "prices for wooden
goods are extremely low" (2) "the
consumption of wool has greatly in
creased since the wool schedule of the
new tariff came into effect" (3l Sim
ports and re imports coming must. of
course, curtail the output of Amer can
wooden mills" (4) "still lower prices
must mean lower wages for the people
who are working in the American
wooden factories"
Cheaper woolens and more of them
will not scare us. With the Their
mometer below zero, rs it has been
much of the time during this cold
winter, there nre worse bug-a-boos to
think of than plenty of cheap, warm
wooden clothing. In fact this is what
the people voted for in 1890 and 1892.
1t shows that the Democrats were
fright when they promised to give us
less shoddy and moro woolens by
means of freeiwool and reduced duties.
Cheaper woolens would be bless
ing to over 60, 600, 900 people even if
thereby some of our wooden mills had
to close and if wages of few thousand
weavers were roduced. But the Econ
omist is greatly mistaken on both of
these points. If it will consult the
files of the American Wool and Cot
ton Reporter since wool became free,
last August, it will find that more new
mills have been built and planned,
more old ones have been enlarged,
and moro closed mills have been
started up thnn during any six months
during the whole Mckinley period.
Moreover, the decline OF wages.
which has been going on for ten or
twelve years in the textile industries,
has been so checked that for the first
time in five years many mills have
been compelled to advance wages to
get workers. Scarcely week passes
in which wages are not advanced in
some big mill. Thus, on the same day
that these editorials appeared in the
Economist, tho Wool and Cotton Re-
porter said that the johnson Wooden
Company, in North Adams, Mass. had
voluntarily raised the wages of its
fancy weavers twelve per cent. On
the Same day it mentioned that the
WOODEN mills in Rockville, Conn.,, were
IN operation much moro generally
than last year that the Mohawk Knit.

Less Tax, More Tin Plate.

Under the Mckinley tariff act tho
duty on tin plato was Q Is cents IL
pound, and not successful tin plate
mill was established in the country.
A few sickly experiments, some polit-
ical tin plate mills, were started be-
fore the election OF 1892, but they NIL
failed more or less disastrously. The
Democrats reduced the duty on tin
plate to l 1-16 cents n pound. The
result is that such paragraphs as tho
following are frequently found in the
newspapers:
"PiTrsDURe, February Give of
the nine tin mills of the Mononoabcln
