Free Wool Results.

Tits well for Free Traders to con-
template the effect Of their leglsla-
tive work occasionally and study its
lessone.
The free wool schedule of the
Wilson bill went into effect on Aug
ust %, 1894, and from that time to
the end of the year, EN- bracing four
months and the three days of Aug
ust, the importations of foreign
wool, duty free, amounted to U.s.
1872, 033 pounds. For the CORES
ponding period in 1898, under the
Mckinley law, the importations of
wool amounted to 1860, 49S
pounds, making difference against
our wool growers in favor of the for
elgn grower of 81, 221,535 pounds.
We estimate the receipts for the
last three days in August, 1898, at
100000 pounds.
The leyellng OF prices under the
influence of this enormous increase
in the foreign supply is but one of
the serious aspects of the situation
which will tend to destroy the Amer
lean production, the main factor
working in that direction being the
loss of the home market through It's
occupancy by the foreign article.
If our growers are willing to meet
the prices Of foreign wool there will
yet be a sufficient diminution in the
quantity to be taken from the Amer
lean grower to seriously reduce his
production.

Good Roads VIII Tell.

One of the commissioners Of Har-
din county, O., which has con-
structed system of macadam roads
under recent law, tells of the
value to his town Of Kenton of good
roads as follows:
During one day in January last,
when the weather had been a little
open and soft for some days, | had
occasion to go oyer to the county
seat of an adjoining county. |
found the entire town and surround
ing country stuck in the mud, not
half dozen teams to be seen on the
streets during the day, business OF
every description at a standstill, and
a fair sample of what they had expe-
fenced for more than two weeks, and
they rightly and clearly attributed
it all to the lack of good roads.
Upon my return home in the
evening | found it had been busy
day in Kenton, and a great many
farmers had been to town. One of
the police officers had taken the
trouble to count the conyevances
hitched in and around the business
part of the town at 2 O'Clock. They
mum bered oyer 600. This demon
strated pretty we'll that good roads
will tell"
Putting together the money was
ted in making dirt roads and all the
money obtained from having the
road tax paid in cash, excepting
what must 90 for bridges, will give
a fund in every township that will
build the major part of q mile of
good macadam road and in some of
the townships full mile. That is
enough to be appreciated even the
first year, small though it is, and
continued year after year according
to a system will in reasonable time
gradually but surely result in mac
adamizing the roads of heaviest
travel. That is "consummation
deyoutly to be wished" and we
shall have something to show for the
money expended,
Imagine, however, that the small
beginning will have larger and
quicker results. After the first few
miles of permanent roads are made
and all the people see for themselves
what such roads will do for them
they will like the Investment so well
that the fund for it will be increased
and the good work pushed more
rapidly. Then in less time than
would now seem probable each town
ship will be crossed from north to
south and east to west by at least
one macadam road, with others soon
to follow, until all the principal
highways, together with their feed
ers, form system of excellent hard
roads.-H. G. Kaufman IN Good
Roads.

Their Disgrace of jefferson.

Mr.. Cleveland and his monde
script Cabinet talk much of the love
and good faith we owe to England,
and how no financial measures
should be adopted in the United
States which might put us in bad
light with "the dear old mother
country" This subseryient de-
pendence is an outgrowth of the
many weaknesses of the atter-day
Democracy. 1t is in painful con-
trast with the strong utterances Of
Thomas jefferson, the founder of
Democracy, to whom Mr.. Cleveland
and his incompetent followers so
frequently and MISUNDERSTANDING
point as the embodiment of Demo-
cratic principles.
Mr.. Jefferson's attitude in regard
to the presence of foreign influence
in American legislation was unmis-
taxable. Nothing" he said, sis
so important as that America shall
separate herself from the system of
Europe and establish one of her own.
Our circumstances, our pursuits,
our interests are distinct; the prin-
ciples of our policy should be
also.
Mr. Jefferson has been, for genera
tons, called the father of Demo-
cracy, but this term should be un-
derstood as applying strictly, in this
connection, to government by the
people. He was in no sense the
father OF the Democratic party.
His principles were absolutely and
irreconcilably opposed to the policy
and the principles of the Free-Trade
un-Amerlcan, dishonest organiza-
ton which claims descent from him.
He stood for Protection to Ameri-
can labor and industry, for the Pro-
lection of American interests every
where, and for independence of our
policy of Government as our inter-
ests, not those of Europe, might
dictate. The Democratic party
stands for none of these.
