FACTS ABOUT WOOL
How to Protect this Great
American Industry.
A BOSTON MERCHANT
Converts an Ohio Wool and
Sheep Owner.
BOSTON MERCHANT

The following discussion between q
grower presents new methods OF protec-
ton for wool that are vitality important to
all wool growers and manufacturers;
Grower: Well, If Mckinley is elected,
the wool grower will receive ample pro-
ton before marketing their 1897 clip.
Merchant: No, unfortunately they can
not obtain relief by high duties on wool
before 1901, possibly not then, unless fa-
vorable silver legislation is enacted. A
majority of the United States Senate, as
1t now stands, will not pass protection
bill which ignores silver.
G: But will there be a change in the
Senate that will give high tariff members
amajority? Fe ,as.
M: No, but before 1901 that has been
very carefully calculated. II you wish
details refer to the Salt Lake Tribune or
the Denver News.
g: What are we to do? The outlook
is dismal now, even if Mckinley is elect
ed. We must be protected.
N: Well, as we can't put high duties on
imported wools, some other method OF
checking foreign competition must be ad-
opted.
G: But / have always thought high
tariff was the only way to protect Ameri-
cans. What is your scheme?
M: l will explain briefly, and that you
may understand my interest in this sub
iect, will state that twenty years ago
began the wool commission business, aft
erwards became owner ofaswoolen mill

WAGES AND SILVER.
Wages Reached Their. Highest Point
In 1879

Wages Reached Their, Highest Point
in 1878.
In an unguarded moment the Oregon.
ian makes fatal admission regarding
the rise and fall of wages and their pur.
chasing power in this country. 1t quotes
from the often quoted report OF the state
committee in 1892" II admits that
starting with 100 in 1860, ,.the purchasing
power Of wages rose to 1877 in 1873, reach
ing the highest point in that year. "They
tluctuated down to lao In 1879, y says
that paper, "and up to 100 in 1912
No more powerful argument in the sup
port Of the coinage OF silver has been
laid before the working men. The Port
land paper admits that wages reached
their highest point in 1878. That year
silver was demonetized, and from 1873 to
1873 the mints were closed against sill
yer. In that period wages fell from 1877
to l40. Then the Bland silver law was
passed, and from 1873 to 1890 the United
States had liberal coinage OF silver. In
that period wages rose from 140 to 100.
In 1890 the Bland law was repealed and
the Sherman law substituted and in 1898
the Sherman law Yves repealed, and the
mints again closed against silver,
Every wage Garner knows what has
transpired since 1893. There has been
trightful fall in wages. That which fol-
lowed the decentralization Of silver in
1873 has followed the second demonetiza-
tion OF silver in 1893.
These are impressive facts for the wage
Garner. They arc all the more impres-
sive coming as an admission from one Of
the leading advocates Of the single gold
standard Spokesman. Review.

M: Not all. The decline in price of

BILE for much of it. The contraction OF
our money volume and the consequent
decrease purcha ing power Of our people
accounts for the largely increas ed i'm
port of shoddy.
G Most of this is news to me. AS
you are a protectionist, why not apply
the remedy Of high duty?
NJ: While silver remains at about its
present price between 65c and zoe, the
import duty would have to be over 100
per cent to equal the profit made by the
LoRdon brokers on silver, and thus stop
his shipping wool here. Now 30 much
import duties would raise the cost of wool
to Americans to a point where most OF
them would by obliged to substitute

NJ: The nations usiqg silver alone as

buy, on average, the same quantity of

will buy only half as much gold When
a gold standard nation, for example the
United States, sells to silver standard

Chinese Treatment of Children.

However little liked the Chinaman
may be by his white neighbors, have
at all times found that the Chinese had
at least one good and praiseworthy quail
ity-the kindness shown by all Of them
toward their children. The poorest
parents always seem able to save enough
money to array their little ones in gay
garments on New Years day or other
holidays. The children in turn seem to
be remarkably well behaved and respect
full toward their elders, and rarely if
ever receive corporal punishment They
seem very happy, and apparently enjoy
their childhood more than most Ameri-
can children On almost any sunny day
the fond and proud father may be seen
at every turn i'll Chinatown carrying his
brightly attircd youngster i'll his arms.
Other little tots, hardly old enough to
feel quite steady on their legs, toddle
about with infants strapped on their
backs. They do not appear to mind this,
and it does not seem to interfere with
their childish pastimcs. About the time
Of the Chinese New Year Chinese chill
dren are particularly favored, and the
fond fathers deny them nothing. The
little ones always appear TO be well pro-
rided with pocket money to buy toys
and candies. Theodore Wores in St

DOM PAUL's EFFECTIVE PRAYER
This Story May Not he True, but 1t Is Far
From Impossible.

This Story May Not he True, but 1t Is Far
From Impossible.
Here is little anecdotc told, not by
malicious uitlander, but by q Boer.
In the early days, before the Transvaal
was republic, there was famine in
the land, and party was organized to
hunt the hartbecst For days the party
secured the veldt in vain; there was no
sign of game Of any description. Then
one of the Beers declared his intention
of retiring into the bush to pray for sue
cor, as did the patriarchs of old. He ac-
cordingly left the party i'll company with
native and disappeared into the bush.
Some hours afterward the Boer re-
turned and informed the party solemnly
that he had prayed, and in three days
time Il very large troop of hartbeest
would pass that way. The party re-
manned at the camp, and, sure enough,
two days after the promised game ap-
peared in sight, and the Dutchmen, with
thankful heart made great haul.
From that moment the man of pray
er" became the popular hero until he
was elected president of the South Afri-
can republic. That man was Paul Kru-
ger.
And now listen to the edifying sequel
1t was some time afterward that the
native who accompanied Kruger into the
bush gave his version of the affair. The
native stated that when Kruger entered
the bush he did not pray, but struck out
for neighboring Kaffir kraal. Calling
the headmen, the Boer informed them
that the white people were starving and
could find no game There was large
number Of armed Beers on the other side
of the bush, who had sent him to tell
them that unless they (the natives) dis
covered game in less than three days
they would all be shot. Knowing Boer
methods only too well, the frightened
natives set out forthwith, discovered the
game and drove it toward the Boer
camp-London Figaro.

GRANT AND UNCLE BEN.
The President Remembered the Old Man
Who Was Kind to Him.


Who Was Kind to Him.
d. r.. Garrison told story to Gen
eral Schofield at the Dent House which
illustrates to u certain extent the kind
heartedness of General Grant Grant
was a great lover of horses, and while
he was president he camc on visit to
St. Louis, and Mr.. Garrison, at that
time president OF the old Pacific read,
took him out to his farm. They started
off i'll q buggy for drive, and after 60
ing some distance met an old man 60
ing along on a horse. The man was in
his shirt sleeves and wore straw hat,
but Grant recognized him, and, stop
ping the buggy, he got out, and walk
ing up to the old man put out his hand
and said: Hello, Uncle Ben! How are
you and the old woman getting along?'
The old man was Uncle Ben Sapping-
ton. He welcomed the president and
said that he was getting along very
well. He remarked that they were hap
py as long as they had enough to eat
and pipe and little tobacco.
"Unclo Ben, wouldn't you like to be
ed the president.
Uncle Ben said he would not object,
and Grant shock him by the hand and
said: God bless you and your wife,
Uncle Ben. think Of you often.'
When Grant got back in the buggy,
the tears We're streaming from his eyes,
and he said to Mr. Garrison: "Poor old
Uncle Ben He has big heart. re-
member" ho said, "whcn l and my
wife, living i'll that house over there,
did not have any more to eat than need
ed, and old Uncle Ben would come
around to the house at night and leave
basket of provisions on our doorstep
He was afraid to como and give them
to us, thinking that he would possibly
hurt our feelings. God bless his mem
ory!'
Uncle Ben was made postmaster, and
after living to Il ripe old age he joined
the great majority and was followed by
Grant a few years ago.-St. Louis Re-
public.
