IL is lasting misfortune that in tho
winter of 1892 Grover Cleveland did
not do what Benjamin Harrison has
just done. namely, put himself out OF
the race for his party's nomination for
the presidency. At that time Clevc-
land was IN precisely the situation from
which Gen. Harrison he's honorably'
removed himself. He was being pushed
for denomination by the solid gang OF
politicians whom. as president, he had
made ofiiceholders. There should have

President Cleveland has denounced
the discrimination made by the German
law against wool growers. In his letter
OF July 2, 1894. TO Mr.. Wilson. referring
TO the democratic pledge for free raw
materials he said:
II may well excite our wonder that
democrats are willing 10 depart from this.
the most democratic OF all tariff principles.
and that the Inconsistent absurdity OF such
proposed departure should be emphasized
by the suggestion that tho wool or the
farmers be put on the free list and the pro-
lection OF tarin taxation be placed around
iron ore and coal OF corporations and
capitalists. How can we face the people
after INDUCING IN such outrageous dis
ordinations and violations OF principles7
How can the president face congress
and the people by veto? How? Con-
gress VIII certainly not take counsel

purpose by unexpected obstacles thrown
in their way, but will In all proper
methods urge the justice of their re-
quests. The following Is from the pro

!, From the tariff act of congress- of
1867 to that Of August rs, 1894. IN nu-
merous acts the recognized policy OF
the governmentwas to encourage sheep
husbandry by duties more or less pro-
tective. The wool tariff act OF March
2. 1867, gave adequate protection 10 our
chief wool product under conditions
then existing. Under 1t the prices Of
wool were fairly remunerativc Sheen

In view OF the injury resulting from
the reduction. the tariff act OF October
4, 1890, known ms the Mckinley law,
was passed. intended by congress TO
give full and adequate protection to
the wool industry" The bill as orig

ways and means by its chairman. Mr..
Mckinley. was much more protective
than the bill as finally passed into the
act of 1890.
One of the notifications of the origf-
nal bill WINS made at the urgent demand
OF few, and only few, of the carpet
manufacturers of Philadelphia.
But the bill and the law "a enacted
contained three fatal and ruinous de-
fects.
