QUACK REMEDIES.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie is candid enough
10 place on the shoulders of the Republican
party the responsibility for the silver legis-
lation that has, as he expresses it, poisoned
the currency of the country" But he is not
candid enough, or sufficiently well informed,
to do justice to the tariff legislation of the
Democratic party. Mr.. Carnegie says that
there was probably never such fraud per-
petrated as the Wilson tariff bill, and in
proof of this sweeping statement he repeats
the fact that it reduced impost duties on the
manufactures of wool, silk, cotton and flax
and on glass and china, all of which he
classes among the luxuries of the rich. To
any one taking exception to this classical
ton, Mr. Carnegie has the answer ready
that with wooden manufactures, as those of
silk, the masses of the people of the United
States are supplied by the home manufac-
turer almost exclusively, the only class
which uses imported cloths and foreign
glass and china is the rich.
The only comment that need be made on
that statement is that the manufacturers and
Mr.. Carnegie are not in accord The griey-
ance of the wooden men is that the market
has been flooded with cheap foreign goods,
and that it is precisely in the fabrics which
are most extensively used that they have to
meet the most disastrous competition. If
Mr.. Carnegie were right, they would have
no quarrel with the Wilson bill, il he is
wrong, his criticism of that measure is most
ridiculously misplaced,

spEAKER REEDS VIEWS

Speaker Reed is reported to have said, re
ferring to Senator Quay's change of base !:
show true it is that politics often make
men towards" The remark is just one,
but il does not impress US as graphic if ap
piled to Quay. Quay's going over to Nc.
Kinley had not the element of cowardice
half so much as of calculation. He simply
ran TO make friends with the coming man,
not from fear, but from desire to provide
for himself 10 the future. Provision for self
is always the ruling motive in his class, and
he is not shrewd who credits it with any
other. Mr.. Reed is also quoted as remark
ing 81 think any straddle of the financial
question by the st. Louis convention would
be grave political mistake" This may be
regarded as his latest political advice, but
his party is unfortunately not following his
lead to any extent the present year,

THE VETO PO WEIR.

II was no better than childish for Demo
cratic and Republican Senators to protest
against the use of the veto power on the
river and harbor bill. II an act appropri.
ating over $60,000000 did not appeal to the
President to exercise his judgment, 1t would
be hard to say what kind of an act would.
In point of fact, President Arthur, the last
Republican President but one, vetoed river
and harbor bill, and had the thanks of the
country for doing SO. A great log rolling
bill is just the one that ought to be watched
most carefully, for almost every one but the
President has hand in the treasury in its
preparation. The government had been in
operation great deal more than half a cen.
fury before veto was overcome in Con
gress. The nations representatives have
been more inscriptions since that time
1t is not difficult to remember vetoes of our
most respected Presidents that have been
conquered by Congress in this way, which
place President Cleveland in very good
company

New York World. One of the Southern
papers says that the motto of the Democrats
in its State is "Free silver or bust"
This is an appropriate motto for polit-
cal craze. 1t is borrowed from the emigrant
to the new gold fields many years ago who
inscribed on his canvas, covered wagon
spikes Peak or bust" Those who have
adopted this motto now may not remember
that that same wagon, very much dilapida-
ted, crawled back over the plains few
months later bearing the simple but suff1-
cient inscription: "Busted p
This will be the fate of the Democratic
party if it shall adopt the shbboleth of the
cheap money fanatics. 1t will be "Free
silver and bust" The Democrats cannot

to the winds their principles, their tradi-
tons, common sense and the opportunity
which the candidacy of Mckinley affords

SHEEP IN THE UNITED STATES


The american Wool Register gives in its
last edition a very interesting series Of stats.
tics on the number of sheep raised in the
United States This showing has value
both economic and political. 1t is OF inter
est to know the industrial condition Of the
various sections of the country, and by hay
ing information bearing upon this subject the
statistician and economist are In position
to judge of the changes that are from time
TO time taking place in the industrial vel
fare of the people. If there is great foil
ing off in the number Of sheep raised in
Western, or the amount Of cotton grown in
Southern State, while there is marked
increase in the one or the other of these
respects in another State, the conclusion
may fairly be drawn that new industrial
conditions have presented themselves, and
that the people have accommodated them
selves to the altered situation.
In its political aspect the statistics of
sheep in this country have distinct value,
for the reason that few years ago it was
claimed by those who were the advocates
Of the system of high protection that if wool
was placed upon the free list we should no
more raise sheep in this country than we
now raise tea or coffee, that the flocks would
be exterminated, and that we should be en-
tirely dependent upon foreigners for our
supply, both of wool and mutton. The
table of statistics we are referring to proves
nnnpluciualx, III at fhic ia NOT tho raaa Tall.
ing the estimate of the United States census
in 1890, it is found that at that time there
were 40,S76, 318 sheep in this country, while
the careful tables of the american Wool Reg
lister, tables prepared by counties in all Of
the States and Territories, show that there
were on the last Of December, 1895, in this
country 1881 1855 sheep.
Now this is very far from determination.
Indeed, taking into account the depressed
condition of business affairs during the last
few years, due TO the uncertainties growing
out of our currency system, the showing
made is one which may be called exception
ally good, for there has been, relatively, as
large a decrease in the number of cattle,
horses and swine in the United States in the
period referred to as there has been in the
number of sheep, while the raisers OF sheep
have in the interval been called to stand
change from an artificial condition of pro-
lection to complete free trade, so far as their
product is concerned.
Altogether, the showing is one which in
dictates that the wool growers have arrived
at point where they can hold their own,
and on the score Of government assistance
are just now in no more need OF aid than
the raisers of hogs and cattle.

The purpose of the bureau of immigra-
ton, recently created by the Maryland Leg
islature, is the encouragement of immigra-
ton from the other States of the Union,
Canada and Europe. Persons able to make
a living by their labor are to be invited to
settle in Maryland. The idea is to increase
the States population to 100000, If posi-
BILE, so as to increase its industrial activity.
Mr.. Littleton T. Dryden, the superintendent
of the bureau, which is located in Baltimore,
assures the public that no preference for any
one part of the State is entertained, but re-
spectacle settlers will be impartially located
wherever inducements acceptable TO immi
grants are offered. Good lands are To be had
at cheap prices in all parts of Maryland, and
this fact, duly advertised, will, it is thought,
add materially to our population.

The neglect of the Republican managers
to secure quarters at st. Louis for negro
delegates to the convention has subjected
"the man and brother" to many unnecessary
UGH treatment as he has re-
ceived is well calculated to disgust the COL
ored allies. They are denied admission to
the hotels along with their political breth-
rem. When they visit a white Republican
at a hotel they ascend to the upper floors on
the freight elevator. Many have been I'M
able to secure clearinghouse accommoda.
ton and have suffered the pangs of hunger.
But better time is coming. When the can
didates get to treating the Afro. Americans
will be happy, and when the delegations are
visited by the responsible persons who can
appreciate the value of a vote, then, at length,
the imam and brother" will get his innings.

An incident in the saving OF money caused
by good roads is given by an officer of the
New Jersey Agricultural Society, who was
in the habit of drawing manure with four
horses from Philadelphia to his farm, dis
lance of seventeen miles. A new road was
built half way; two horses drew the same
load to the end of it, then he had to send a
man and team to bring it the rest of the way
One man and team do more work now than
two men and two four horse teams did be-
fore. He saved $3.50 on hauling his manure
the first year. Other farmers now carry
ninety bushels instead of thirty bushels of
potatoes, which used to be load.

chieftain, Antonio Naceo, made on the tro-
cha four companies of Cuban women took
part. These women have joined the insurg

destroyed by the Spaniards. Many of them
