~A Vicious Blow at Wool and woolcns. !.

1t was Artemas Ward who said !:
Don't never profesy onless you kuo. I"
II the Boston Home Market Bulletin
had taken that advice it would not now
be the laughing stock of all intelligent
men. Only few weeks ago it pub.
llshed an article intended TO show las
quoted by the Manufacturer "why
wages in wooden industries cannot rise
with wages in iron industries" and
went on to state that the Wilson tariff
had "aimed e vicious blow ut wool and
wooiens, and "sacrificed those indus
tries to sectional interest"
While the Bulletin was publishing
this nonsense the wooden mills of the
country were busily engaged in try-
ing to I'LL orders, extra hands were
being employed, and wages increased
from ten per cent. to twenty per cent.
Among the mills which raised wages
were those ofMoses T. Stevens, of An
derson, Mass, and other New England
towns, in which over 1900 hands wero
employed; Thomas Dolan e Co,
Philadelphia; The Slater Co., Web.
ster, Mass, with 1900 employees; The
Raritan and Somerset Wooden Co. !,
Raritan, N. j., with 1000 hands and
over thirty others. On July 0 tho
Rhode Island wooden aud worsted
manufacturers announced that wages
In oil those industries in the State
would be advanced from seven per
cent. to twelve per cont. during tho
present month. And the returns of the
new textile industries published by the
American Wool and Cotton Reporter,
show that during the first six months
this year thirty-eight new wooden mills
were started against only seventeen
TOR the Same period of 1894.
While the wooden industries wero
being 'ssacrifced' in this way, tho
price of wool has been advancing, an
increase of over two cents pound be-
ing recorded for the past month, aud
the sales were the largost for the cor
responding period for several years.
What the Democrats predicted as tho
result of free wool has come true in
every respect. Tho manufacture of
woolens and worsteds has boon greatly
increased through the advantages of
getting, free of duty, certain kinds of
wool not grown in this country. At
the Same time the increased demand
for our wool has raised its price. But
still the high tariflitcs will wall about
our ruined wool and wooden industry.

INCREASING REVENUE DUTIES.
Larger Yield Under the New law
than Under the Mckinley Tariff.

Tho last hope of the calamity press
Is that the excess of public expendi-
lures over revenues will give them an
sxcuse for reviving the agitation for
high tariff and plun9ing the country
,gain into uncertainty as 10 what the
customs duties may be. And they are
ieeking to belittle the beneiicent Of
!ects of tariff reform by charging that
The Wilson bill does not provide suf-
icient revenue for the ordinary ex-
oenses oil government.
Whilo it is true that there was q
difference of about $40, 900, 900 be-
tween the revenue and expenditures
Tor the fiscal year 1S94-95, the loss of
$50, 600, 600 of that amount was due to
The decision of the Supreme Court
that tho income Tux was unconstitu-

was lost through the large free impor-
.ntions of sugar during July and
August. 1894, while the Wilson bill
was hung up in the Senate by the pro-
sectionists. Nc wisdom on tine part of
The trainers of the Wilson bill could
nave provided against these unfore-
seen causes for decreased revenues.
But the protectionist organs forget
that in condemning the present tariff
they are bringing q heavier indict-
mont against tho Mckinley bill. For
The fiscal year 1893 "a the customs
revenue was only $131, 819, $50, and
she total deficit for that yenr was
$40, 10000 This was under Nc
Rinleyism. Last year tho rovenuo
rom duties on imports was over
$3.50, 000,000 an increase of about
$40, 600, 900 under tariff reform. :. !.
This proves conclusively that moro
customs revenue can be secured under
,he Wilson bill than under Mckinley
tariff, which restricted commerce and
nnduly taxed tho raw materials OF in
lustry. With the coming of Demo
cratic prosperity, and the. great in
crease of our foreign trade which will
follow the present revival of business,
there is no doubt but that the Wilson
tariff will yield this year at least $40, :
300, 900.
The attempt of the protectionists to
make capital out OF temporary de-
icit, which Inside from the failure of

COTTON DRESSES.

Fronch and English dressmnkers do

continue TO mako them up over silk

lining. 1t should be worn over o silk
pettcoat mado the ordinary length of

well to have boned silk waist lining
