Our experiment with free trade
in wool for one year has enabled
the English manufacturers of yarns,
woolens and worsteds to sell more
than four times as much of their
goods as they did in 1894, and $50
per cent. more than their average
annual sales during the entire pro-
lection period from 1891 to 1894,
inclusive. So much for the boon
of free raw material to our wooden
manufacturers.
Now as to wool. The United
Kingdom sent US, in 1895, over $50
per cent, more English, foreign and
colonial wool than in 1894, the in
crease in values being $14,000,0O0.
Compared with the entire McKin-
ley protection period, 1891 to 1894
inclusive, this increased value of
wool sent here last year was almost
81, 900, 000-that amount more
money taken away from American
farmers, while our manufacturers
lost trade worth $40, 100000.
Never within thirty years have we
imported into the United States
from all countries, as much wool as
was sent US from the United King
dom alone last year, and we have
yet to learn the value of our wool
imports that were shipped directly
to this country from Australia and
South America. Then we must
take cognizance of the shrinkage in
the price of wool, as compared with
the Mckinley period, that our far
mers did sell, before we can arri We
at any correct idea of the entire loss
inflicted upon American sheep farm
ers by one years policy of Demo-
cratic free trade, which, it was in
tended, should be a robbery of the
many farmers for the benefit of the
few manufacturers. The Demo-
cratic scheme was partly successful.
1t has robbed the farmers; but it
has failed to be of any benefit to the
manufacturers. 1t has rob bed
them too.
The United Kingdom shipped to
this country last year, more wooden
tissues than in 1891 and 1892 COM
bined, and more in the three years
of 1892, 1898 and 1894 combined;
more than twice the quantity
shipped in 1891 or 1892; three times
as much as in 1898, and consider
ably more than four times as much
as in 1894.
As to worsted tissues, the United
Kingdom sent us, last year, almost
as much as in 1891 and 1892 COM
bined, more than as much as in
1892 and 1898, and almost four
times as much as in 1894. OF yarns
she sent us so per cent more than
in all four Mckinley tariff years.
We have to go back to 1873 before
we find that the United Kingdom
made us such large shipments of
her wooden manufactures. In 1890
the output of our domestic wooden
factories and our imports of foreign
wooden goods together were worth
a total of $3.50, 100000. Last year
worth 1872, 100000. To this we
must add the imports from France
and Germany, which will probably

Uncle Sam in Rags.

Uncle Sam in Rags.
Since Rev. o. g. Miller returned
to San Francisco he has resumed
the publication of his paper, the
GO5den cate Pentec08t, and from its
columns we take the following
which was published over Mr.. Mil
ler's signature, entitled; "Uncle
Sam in Rags-his address to Con-
gress:"
want to tell you Congressman,
as you mighty well know, that I've
had some awful hard luck here of
late, and what bothers me, is that
you fellows seem unconcerned. |
want you to quit dancing on my
cotfinlid, and what's more, | don t
feel | can carry you much longer.
Pass q resolution to deny yourselves
half your salaries this term. Divv
up with the old man; help him out,
he's always been mighty good to
you. If you don't, some of you
Jonas will have to go overheard,
and that right soon. Put your
hands IN your own millionaire peck
cts, you've had them in mine long
enough; plagued if l amt mighty
nigh busted, and where will you all
be then? You certainly must tighten
up the old ship, or she's goin'
down sure. Mr.. Cleveland must
think my back is mighty strong;
these plagued bonds have got me
all bent oyer now. What father
wants to tax his unborn children
to pay up after they land here! The
bigger my farm is, the more chance
it gives them pesky rascals to steal
from me. tell you what is the
truth, these New York gold-bugs
are gettin' their hands in my pock-
cts altogether too much here of late.
There's lot of fellows all over the
country that begin to mistrust me,
and they're maxim banks out of
their stockings; that's where a
mighty lot o my gold eagles are
roosting. | tell you what grinds
me the most of all is to see that
Johnnie Bull standing on the other
side of the water with his hands
crammed down into his well-filled
pockets, chuckling to himself, and
saying: "Uncle Sammy is got more
than tea-party on his hands just
now" | tell you, he never could
have done this, if my own children
had not turned against their poor
old father. Talk about tariff, ]
tell you there's no "if'' about it,
it's all "tear," and it's just tearing
me all to pieces, blessed if it amt.
And what's all this l hear about
face trade? Just "trade'' places
with me, and try how free it is, it's
the highest fit | ever had. Amt
you ashamed to see how it brings
my knees and elbows through this
old thread bare suit? Don't talk to
me about patri0tism; that's the
ghost of your forefathers; the long
vanished dream of my happier
days-it's all se!fism now. My
children are too much like bees on
a peach, they sit and suck all they
can hold. Patriotism is like that
dear old Monitor of mine, gone
down at sea. No foolishness about
it, take your hands out of the old
mans pockets, ease up little, or
we'll all go into the hands of a re-
ceiver, and the greenest country
man won't touch one of my green
backs. Oh, my poor old back aches
under this load. Tighten up lit
tie. Don't you mlllionaires hear
your brethren crying for bread?
Be just, go help up your brother
Joseph out of the pit, or you will
send your old father Sam down to
his grave mourning.
