Democratic Reward Ia Labor.

Idleness and its consequent poverty
and distress have been the rewards of
labor; distress and bankruptcy have
overtaken business, shrunken values
have dissipated fortunes; deficient reve-
nues have impoverished the govern
ment, brought about bond issues, and
bond syndicates have discouraged and
seandalized the nation. Over against
this fearful penalty is, however, to be
set down one great compensatory result
it mas destroyed the Democratic par
ty. The proud columns which swept the
country in triumph in 1892 are broken
and noiseless in 1896. Their boasted
principles, when they came to the test
Of a practical application, have proven
nothing but fallacies, and their great
leaders have degenerated into warning

"Oh, how insignificant all my fifty years
OF nursery business seems, all combhed,
when compared with this stupendous es-
tablishment, where they count by mil
lions" said Judge Miller. that veteran
horticulturist, as he, in company with the
writer, We're being driven TO the various
departments Of this vast nursery.
In an experience of over forty years
we do not remember TO have passed
through an establishment where 50 large
number Of hands were employed, whose
duties were so thoroughly systematiZed,
and where business capacity OF a higher
order was manifested
1t Is not in the soil of every farm that
one finds qualities essential to the growth
of the different kinds of Nursery stock.
hence 1t has devolVed upon these gentle
men, who were born to the Nursery bust
ness, to select from among the hills and
valleys OF the two Pixies such portions as
are adapted to their purposes. But in
this very fact of selection OF soil we see
their exceeding care for the future sue
cess of theif Stock.

worthy institutions than the Stark Nur-

There are many circumstances thai
the American machinery is to-day run
ming less than half time. Second. many
of the wool dealers who handle the
American clip, and who have large
stocks of last years wool on hand. COM
plain that their sales for the past five
months were less than many OF them
have often sold in a single month un-
der the Mckinley period. Country
merchants all over the United States
are holding old wool, some of which is
being destroyed by moths, because
there is no market for it, the usual out
lets for it having been stopped up
with imported wool and imported
wooden goods.
The speculative movement in altlcl-
patton of the Dingley bill facilitated
wool imports, and not the need of the
wool by American manufacturers. The
increased imports Of fabrics represent
losses inflicted upon American wooden
manufacturers by the Wilson bill and
profits pocketed by the owners of
European mills. 1t is estimated that
the surplus woolens brought in last
year at the duty paid valuation will be
from fifty to sixty millions of dollars
worth beyond the capacity of the
American people to consume in one
year, and compulsory closing of Ameri-
can mills is necessary until this surplus
of imported woolens can be disposed Of.
There is no question about it but the
decreased purchasing power O. the ma
tion offsets the increased quantity of
woolens required by reason of any in
crease of population, so that the in
crease in the imports over and above
the average quantity imported during
the Mckinley period represents to that
extent the desree of lessened employ
ment for American machinery. The
proof of il is in the array of idle ma
chinery.
Messrs. Burk and McFetridge have
published in Traffic statement pre-
pared by Messrs. Justice, Bateman &
Co., of Philadelphia, which is interest

"Messrs. Helmuth, Schwartze & Co.,

rhn American Farmer.

There are seven and three-quarter
millions of people in the United States
engaged in agriculture, more than one
eighth of our entire population, far ex-
ceeding in number those engaged in
any other profession, numbering twice
those employed in manufactures, and
seven times greater than those en-
ployed in conducting trade and trans
portation. Therefore, they constitute
the largest body engaged in any single
calling in the United States. while the
value OF the agricultural products Of
this country exceeds that of any other
nation in the world.-William McKin-

pounds, an increase In the worlds sup
ply in four years of 221 100000 pounds.
The effect of this enormous increase
in the supply upon European markets
was to depress the foreign price of
wool from s13 Is I'd per bale in 1891 to
only ELL per bale in 1895, decline OF
over Is per cent. This was in conse-
quence of the fact that there were then
221 100000 pounds more wool in the
world than the woolen machinery of
the world could consume. In 1895 the
effect of the enormous imports of wool
gan to tell upon European prices, and
at the close of the year 1895 the sur
plus Of woolens and raw WOOL which
for four years had been distressing
European markets, had been trans
ferred to America, and London wool
market circulars now state that the old
supplies of wool and woolens in Europe
appear to have been obliterated. The
word transferred" rather than obliter-
ated would better describe the situa
tion, for the wool and woolen surplus
Of the world has not been consumed,
but has simply been transferred to the
United States, where the most Of it is
still or hand, and this is the cause of
the present depression in the wool
business here.
1t is a curious coincidence that the
increase in the imports of wool of all
kinds for 1895, less the decrease in the
American clip, was almost exactly the
same in quantity as Europe's surplus
of the previous year. AS near as may
be the American total supply in 1895,
owing to overimportations, was 223,-
000,G pounds more than the average
of the previous four years; and Europe's
surplus which had been exported to
America, was 221 100000 pounds. 1t
is therefore evident that the first effect
of free wool was to relieve Europe OF it's
surplus and cause prices there to ad-
vance, and to add 10 Americas surplus
Or to give the latter country a two
years supply in one year, causing
prices here to decline.
An increase in the imports of wool
does not represent prosperity here. 1t
shows the diminution of the domestic
clip, and an enormous accumulation Of
wool over and above the capacity Of
American manufacturers to use, with
the mills running short time or closed.

pondent are correct. They show 1884,
D24 5S3 pounds more wool imported DUR
ing the nine months ending March 81,
1896, than during the corresponding
1894 period, two years earlier. What
has become of all this wool?
The quantity of raw wool on hand,
mated at over 114,0OO,000 pounds more
than was ever on hand at the same
time of the year before. This is ex-
elusive of shoddy, waste, rags, etc, and
relates simply to raw wool.
If we take the quantity of wool on
hand, including that contained in rags,
waste and all forms Of manufactures Of
wool reduced to raw wool, the quantity
on hand in the form of either goods or
wool, unconsumed, on March 81, 1896,
was about 257,000,000 pounds greater
than the largest quantity ever on hand
before at the same time of year. This
readily explains what has become of
all the extra wool imported, being
nearly double the quantity of increased
imports of wool.
