CONGRESSMAN BOWERS, Of Califor-
MIA, spoke the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, when be
said 10 a recent interview that there is
no use talking about silver when a
greater issue is before the people.
The one great issue is the American
policy of protection. Mckinley, by
good fortune, is connected with the
protective policy more closely than any
man. The American people have
never had a good chance to test the
difference between protection and
something else until the Wilson bill
went into effect. The change has
sS-s &c appalling "a all N kinds Of bust
ness that democrats as we'll as republi
cans are going to have protection.
There is no use tslking, the people are
going TO get back into the middle OF
the road, and you car split on financial
policies and everything else, but Nc
Kinley u going in, because he repre-
sents what the people want--protec
ton to American labor and American
manufacturers.

Dutch was a brown retriever of nd
vanced years. Curly was reputed to be
a Scotch terrier, but his appearance sug-
gested some uncertainty i'll his descent,
Dutch was chained to her kennel, and
Curly, who enjoyed his liberty, evinced
his friendship by frequently taking
bones and other canine d~elicacies to his
less fortunate friend. One morning
Curly presented himself at the house,
eyincing unmistakable signs of grief by
his demeanor and his whines. A visit
to the kennel, where poor Dutch was
found lying dead, showed the occasion
of Curly's unhappiness. We buried
Dutch decorously under a vine in the
garden and supposed that Curly would
forget the incident, but wo were touch
ed to see him in the capacity Of faithful
mourner often revisit the spot where
his old friend was laid, taking with
him, by way Of offering, choice bones,
which he carefully buried by the grave
This practice Curly continued for two
years, when we left the house. Cor

THE WOOL INDUSTRY.

The democrats position in regard
TO q tariff on wool has not been DEM
onstrated to be correct and yet there
remains little need in this country for
such a tariff. The market for wool in
the United States has been destroyed
by the policy which has closed Ameri-
can factories and started the looms OF
Mexico and Japan.
II Is q fact that the movement OF
wool from New Mexico into Old Nix
leo has begun. 1t is a new thing
A few years ago it would have hardly
been thought of. But wooden manu-
featuring has SO increased in Mexico,
that it has been necessary to look be-
yond the borders OF the republic for
some of the raw material used. Thus
manufacturers have been led to pur-
chase part of New Mexico's clip and
1t may be counted upon that In course
Of time they will extend their pur.
chases to the firms Of Ohio and other
states, where fine grades Of wool are
grown.
1t is a singular way of escape for
Colorado and New Mexico wool-grow-
ers from the disaster which threatened
them a few years ago, and yet 1t seems
to be a fact that in Mexico they will
find a market which in this Jul
try they have lost. Under the circum-
stances, Colorado and New Mexico
will be more advantageously situated
than they were when their only market
was in the eastern part of the union.
Nevertheless, the wool industry will
not become profitable. Like nearly
everything else in the United States, it
has been rendered unremunera,ive by
a policy which depresses prices to the
level, il not below, the cost of produc-
ton. Natural conditions are as favor
able 10 wool production ia New Mex
leo as they ever were. The range,
though not so extensive as formerly,
Is good. The climate is mild and the
facilities for reaching a market are far
better than they were ten and twenty
years ago. But still wool growing
holds out nc hope of profit to those
who engage in it, and they must
turn their eyes towards Mexico for re-
Lief. 1t illustrates the transfer of indus
tries from the older nations to those
that are rising in the scale of civili-
zatlo1.
