THE opening of fine and fancy
woolens has brought no change in
prices, and revisions caused by re-
cent openings of worsteds have been
generally towards lower prices.
There has been somewhat more de-
mand, but not enough to keep most
of the mills running full. = Dun S
Review for Jan. II.
The above is one of the indications
of ''revival in the woolen industries
that our democratic friends tell about.
The lowest prices for wool, insult
fcient demand to keep the mills run
ming, are the natural results of put
ting woods on the free list and re-
ducing the duties on woolen goods.

PRICES FOR 1895.

The average highest prices in 1895
show an increase of 1873 per cent.
The average closing prices for 1895
were an advance of 1919 per cent over
the opening prices.
The people had to pay more money
for their iron manufactures, more
money for their cotton goods, more
money for their boots and shoes, and
even more money for their woolen
clothing with free trade in wool.
Won't the democratic papers ex-
plain how the prices of goods were
cheapened to the people and expose
Dun's Review as a fraud? If not,
they, themselves, stand committed as
the frauds.

q war with England over this bound-
ary question, which we do not believe
will occur, it will be largely owing to
the foolish utterances of portion of
the press and of certain small caliber
statesmen. The whole of the terri
tory of the revolution-racked, half CIV
ilized country of Venezuela is not
worth the sacrifice of the life of a
single American soldier or citizen.
The true northerner., 1896-01-24

The Detroit Tribune says: "We
do ourselves an injustice if we think
the war scare proceeds from the
newspaper Offices" With all due
Difference to the Tribune, we think
the people are justified in thinking
just exactly that, and no newspaper
has labored harder than the Tribune
to create and perpetuate the "war
scare" 1t has repeatedly filled its
editorial columns with slush about
"national assertiveness," whatever
that may mean, and which the Trib-
une in effect explains to mean that
Uncle Sam is like waspish school
boy with chip on his shoulder which
he dares anybody to knock off.
That paper doesn't even claim that
the location of the Venezulan bound
ary is sufficient "casus belli," but
represents the free and enlightened
people of America to be spelling for
fight with somebody and especially
with Great Britain, regardless OF
whether there is just cause for war
or not; in other words, to be in con-
dition of ''national assertiveness,'
to use the Tribune'spe pet phrase. We
protest against the people of this ma
ton being in this position. The
United States is not national bully,
as the Tribune would represent it to
be; the people of this country are
not spelling for fight with anybody;
they prefer peace to war and will
not be forced into battle without a
just cause, by the jingo press, among
which the Tribune has tried to out
lingo all the rest, going so far as to
apply the epithet "traitorous mug
wumps" to such of its fellow citizens
as did not agree with its ultra jingo-
ism. When the Tribute speaks of
"British jingoism" in Connection with
the Transvaal incident, it would do
well to reflect on its own jingo ut
terances in reference to the Venezue-
Ian matter. If this country is so un-
fortunate as to become embroiled in

EXPORTS OF ENGLISH EARTHENwARE, CHINA
WARE, PARIAN AND PORCELAIN.

This shows an increase of more than
1,031 ,685 in the English exports of
earthenware, chinaware, parian and por-
celain during nine months of this year
as compared with the corresponding
months of 1898. But the increase
in shipments to the United States
was $1,118, $50. This was more than
the entire gain in the trade with all the
countries of the world; hence had it
not been for the larger trade permitted
with this country by the German tariff
there would have been az actual decrease
in England's foreign pottery trade this
year. That the English potters appreci-
ate the enactment of the German tariff
is evident from this further extract from
the Staffordshire Sentinel:
1.-THE revival in the potting trade is
now stIikingly manifest. The aggregate
exports of packages for 1895 up to last
Friday was 101, ,064, which total has
only been passed four times since 1869.
These occasions were the years 1869,
1871, 1872 and 1888. Then it must be
borne in mind that two months yet re-
uaiu VI thc PIcsSuo year, sO 'iioo oho GA
ports to America for 1895 bid fair to
reach in volume those Of the brightest
days of the potting trade"
This additional proof of Professor
Wilson successful un American work is
undoubtedly as gratifying to the "placid
old fogies" of the Golden club who re-
side in this country as it is to their
friends ON the other side. That every
section of the United States is feeling
the effect of the increased imports OF
foreign earthenware can be seen from
the following English statistics
The true northerner., 1896-01-24

disc exports for ten months, there
fore, is $688,203,763. During the
corresponding period of last year the
exports amounted to $7OO,Ol5,536
That is to say, we have sold Sll,-
Sll,773 worth less this year than
last.
ssOn the other hand, our imports
this year again including silver, have
amounted to $6S5,370, ,246, against
1871, ,919,376 for the same period
last year. That is to say, while we
have sold less by $l1 ,Sl1, ,773 this year
than last, we have bought $113,4 ,450,-
$40 more. This leaves us 1925, ,262,-
643 more to pay this year than last.
And while there are other elements
i'm the situation, some of them incal-
culable, there is no doubt that our
extravaganza in buying more and
selling less is an important factor in
the exchange situation, tending to
the export of gold in settlement of
debt"
The World has struck the keynote
of the whole situation: 'Our extrav-
agance in buying more and selling
less" If the World would but carry
its honesty a step further and boldly
tell its readers how to remedy the
situation by SELLING MORE AND BUY
ING LESS, it could accomplish a great
deal in bringing about better times.
The matter of buying less is easily
regulated by enacting tariff duties
sufficiently high to prevent foreigners
under-selling us in our own markets,
thus creating an enlarged market
for American productions and an in
creased demand for American labor.
The stimulation of home manufac-
lures by giving them an advantage
in the home market, will make possi-
bic the larger shipment of manufac-
tured articles into the s'markets of the
world" as has been evidenced by all
history of American protective tariffs.
The expectation of American agricul-
tural products is something that can
only be regulated by the law of supply
and demand, dependent upon crop
conditions the world over, etc. The
best means for promotion of farming
interests is to furnish to our own pro-
ducers the very largest possible mar
ket without compelling them to go
across the "big pond'' to get it.
Laboring people and mechanics
thrown out of employment have but
little money in their pockets and buy
but little of the farmers produce.
Every bale of foreign goods used in
this country decreases the amount OF
employment for American labor.
The question of protection is now,
as it has been for years, the greatest
question before the American peo-
pie, so far as our industrial prosper
ity is concerned, and we are glad to
believe that an overwhelming major
ity is now on the side of a protec-
tive tariff.
The "revival of business" will come
in truth after the election next fall

Those Cheap" Prices.

From the American Economist:
What about those cheap prices
that the democrats promised the peo-
pie should have as soon as a free
trade tariff bill could be passed, and
the Mckinley extortion be abolished?
We have had full year of their
tariff and looked for the lower prices.
This is how they were quoted by
Dun's Review, in its report upon
business for 1895:

DUN's Review for last week is au-
thority for the statement that 'no
branch of manufactures has progress,
for all are unavoldably waiting both
for settlement of financial doubts and
for demand which does not appear"
These are glorious democratic times,
indeed.

EARTHENwARE EXPORTS TO AMERICA

Of earthenware this years English
exports from Liverpool alone in nine
months were worth $l7S,6S5 more than
in 1894. The entire increase was 81,

oORMAN TARIFF MAKES BUSINESS
FOR ENGLAND.

British Exports to America Equal Best
Days Of Their Trade-Dull In Ohio and
New Jersey-More Than Half Million
Lost to American Labor.
The revival in the potting trade is
now generally acknowledged, and
throughout the important district of
North Staffordshire signs Of activity
among manufacturers are observable.
The American trade still exhibits an all
round improvement, and the demand
for goods is as great as ever. In the
home market trade continues steady and
moderately brisk, but there is not the
same activity displayed as in the Amer
lean trade. de.-Staffordshire (England)

Not only is it in the English woolen
trade that there has been revival Of
business under the German tariff. The
prosperity that was guaranteed to for
eigners when our free traders passed
that bill has also extended to the pottery
interests of Europe, as the foregoing ex-
tract from an English paper, published
in the heart Of their pottery industry,
