Last year the democratic gift of free
raw material to wooden manufactures
more than doubled our imports of for
cign wooden goods, as compared with
the average value of similar imports
during the four years of Mckinley pro-
lection. The exact increase was $780,
5o9,sl3. If we take one-half Of this
amount rs the value of the labor en-
ployed in making such goods, then the
loss to American labor employed in our
wooden mills was $4,000, 900 in q single
year of free trade in the raw material
Of only one industry.
But the loss to our wage-earners has
been more than this and for several
reasons. In the first place the imports,
OF last years wooden goods, SO called,
very largely consisted of the cheapest
quality of stuffs, in which rags, mungo
and shoddy formed the bulk of the COM
ponent parts. Hence the increase in
value does not fairly represent the in
creased quantity Of goods imported.
It was greater than the value indicates.
Another reason is that when the pur-
chaser of these cheap goods begins to
complain of their bad wearing qualities,
he is informed that they were American
goods, and that he had better buy for
eign clothing hereafter. This tends to
check subsequent demand for the pro-
duce of our own mills, and thus it
checks their output and again the de-
nand for American labor.
AS the value of labor is so much less
in Europe than here, n better grade Of
goods than we imported so largely in
1895 could undersell American goods OF
similar quality if existing tariff condi-
tions were continued. AS the value of
labor in most American industries rep
resents more than half the cost of the
finished article, the estimated loss to
labor is greater than we have stated in
the case Of last years wooden imports.
Labor in every industry would be affect
ed, in precisely the same ratio as labor
in the wooden mills, If the tariff in all
industries were on the basis Of the
wooden schedule of the Wilson bill.
Hence it is the duty of labor to reflect,
lot only upon its actual position of to-
day, but upon the possibilities of its fu-
ture conditions, should the free raw ma
terial craze he, by any possibility, ex-
tended to every other American indus
try. Labor has had it's lesson. Labor
knows the remedy-to vote at every
opportunity, against every candidate
for congress who favors free trade

The Way to Drink MIX.

Many complain that they cannot
drink milk without its disagreeing with
them. The most common reason why
milk is not readily digested is that it
Is taken too rapidly and it enters the
stomach and becomes one solid mass

POLITICAL DRIFT.

ETThe republican party is in favor OF

DAmerican farmers will do well to
keep this statement in mind, which was
made by Senator John Sherman: dur.
ing the first year of the Wilson law, the
agricultural imports, all of which are
such as are produced in the United
States, the most common products OF
our farms, were of the value of SHOT,.
342,522. During the last year of the Nc
Kinley law the imports of the same
farm products were of the value OF
S51,414,s44. So under the Wilson law
the imports of agricultural products,
which we produce in the greatest abun-
dance, were doubled in amount as com.
pared with the amount imported under
the Mckinley law" The tariff for def
lett no matter what else it may do, is
not helpful to any American interest

PROTECTION is NEEDED.
Decrease In Values Under the Democratic
Policy.

Decrease In Values Under the Democratic
Policy.
In 1892 the value of the horses owned
in the United States was $1,oO7,-
593,666. In 1896 it is estimated as $780,
140.1s6. In 1892 the value of mules
thus owned was $174,ss2,O7O. In 1896
it is S1O3,304,457. The figures are
taken from a,recent report Of the de-
partment Of agriculture.
It may be pleaded in mitigation of
this decrease in values during an era
Of democratic policy, as admitted by n
democratic secretary of agriculture,
.,hat the adaptation of electricity to
the motive force of street cars and the
infinite Development Of the bicycle
have worked adversely to the breeder
of horses. The plea has weight, though
it may be doubted if it is sufficient to
account for shrinkage of more than
one-half of the old measure of value.
But whatever may be said in explana-
ton Of the decline of horse flesh, it is
certain that sheep and swine have not
been affected injuriously by bicycles
or by trolley cars. In 1898 the value of
swine in the United States was $685.
426,492. In 1896 it is $1s6,520,745. In
1893 the value Of sheep was $125, 9OO, 264.
In 1896 it is 65.167,7G5.
Three causes have been at work to-
ward this lamentable reduction of
agriculture values. The repeal Of tho
reciprocity clause Of the Mckinley law,
clause insisted upon by the late James
G. Blaine, practically has closed great
foreign markets to American pork.
Tho repeal of the wool duties has made
wool growing improbable. The i'm
portation Of vast quantities of foreign
made goods has lowered the wage
fund of;the United States, and thus has
diminished the power of the people 10

featured products of American wool.
