Suppose the Dingley duties ON wool
would give the woolgrowsrs all the
protection claimed and that the price
of wool would actually so up the full
amount of the duty, which, of course.
Is absurd. What would be the effect up
on the country at large?
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, statistician,
estimates the annual wool product at
$50, 900. 900 out Of total of Sl3, 200. :
600, 600 produced by all tho workers Of
the country and the persons dependent
ON the wool industry at 800. coo out Of
"a total population Of $4,000. 900. The
wool duty then means that out Of every
$40 persons $50 arc to be held up for
the benefit Of the other one. This Is O
sample Of what protection docs OF
course more than 800, 900 persons may
sometimes raise few sheep, but the
interests Of these others are moro those
of the consumer than of the sheep raiser.
and they would lose more because of in
creased cost Of woolens than they would
gain by the increased price Of wool.
The protective tariff system is farce
when considered I'm connection with the
farmer or the workingman Will they
ever fully appreciate it?

The following letter from Secretary
Of State James q. Blaine IN 1890 Is
supposed 10 have had great weight with
the ways and means committees:
WASHINGTON April 10, iso0
DEAR Mr. McKINLEY-Tt IS o great mistake
60 take hides from the free list, where they
have been for 50 many years It n n sEap In
the face 90 the South Americans. with whom
we are trying TO enlarge our trade Il win
benefit the farmer by adding TO per cent 20

profit 20 the butcher only. tho last man that
needs IL. Tho movement - injudicious from
beginning 20 end. In every form and phase.
Pray stop it before IL sctss light. such move
ments this for protection win protect the
Republican party into n speedy retirement
Yours hastily, JAMES q. BLAINE
Hon. william Mckinley, Chairman Ways and
Means
Where is the Blaine this year who
can head OF the westerners who want
their share of protection and fOolishly
imagine that they can get It by n duty
On hides? Il Is perfectly consistent with
the protection system 10 tax hides, es-
pecially as the bulk Of the tax would
probably go to a few monopoly butch
ers and ranchmen. But observe some of
the effects upon our industries:
The importations OF untaxed hides
and skins last year were valued at $780,
2l8,5 2S. The goatskins were valued at
$40, 3O3, $50. The former were mostly
converted into sole leather. beltings
and such like heavy material, for which
our native hides are not thick enough.
The goatskins are not produced In this
country.
From this raw material we not only
manufacture boots, shoes and leather
goods for our own people cheaper and
better than they are made elsewhere in
the world, but we exported finished
products Of the value of $40. 242, T56.
Without free and cheap raw material
this export trade would have been i'm
possible. and our own people, as Mr..
Blaine pointed out, would be- compelled
TO pay more for their footwear. The
wages paid TO our workers In leather
last year amounted To S25, 542. 1863.

1t is not often that the average

his paper to Mr.. b. w. Graham,

to doing nothing and visiting rela-

STILL RUNNING
The Fortune Wheel Continues tc
Whirl in the Heart of the Citv

The whirl Of the wheel of fortune was
again heard last night at Fitzgerald's
pool room on Spring street. Even larger
throngs than those of Saturday night
crowGied into the place. AS on the pre-
vious occasion Preacher" Frank pre-
sided over the destinies of the wheel.
1t has been rumored that owing to
Major Dornell's notorious opinion other
fortune wheels will be set up in various
pats of the city, for surely they are
lucrative investment il not in violation
Of the law.
Chief Glass stated yesterday that no
imme diate action as far as he was con-
cerned would be taken against the gam
bling, and gave as his reason that he did
not wish to lay himself and, his bonds
men liable to damage suit for false i'm
prisonment, to which the gamblers
would have recourse under the District
attorneys opinion were they arrested.
The fortune wheel, he said, he believed
TO be percentage gambling device, pure
and simple, yet the men who are running
it are safe, protected by the bulwarks OF
the district attorneys written opinion.
The chief stcted that the matter would
however be brought up today at the
meeting of the police commissioners, and
he will then follow whatever course may
be outlined by that body.

THEY FIGHT TONIGHT
McAULIFFE AND STELzNER WILL
MEET AT THE PAVILION
Both Men Appear to Be in Good Con
dition, and Lively Battle Is
Looked For

Joe McAuliffe and Jack Stelzner fight
tonight at Hazards pavilion. The ca
pacity of that building will probably be
tested, as the attendance promises to be
large, owing to the presence here of SO
many visiting sporting men attending
the races. The big fight will be pre-
ceded by two preliminary bouts, which
will be lively encounters. Charles Smith,
a brother of Solly Smith, and George
Baker of Denver will start the fun by a
six-round go. Then will follow ten
round contest between William White
sides of San Bernardino and Phil Green
of the Acme club. Oakland
After these two bouts the heavy
weight battle, which is limited to fifteen
rounds, will take place. Both men ap-
pear to be in condition to put UP as good
fight as has ever been seen here. They
declare they are not in the fight for the
money there is In it, but they have diff
ferences to settle, which may add zes!
to the battle.
Fred Hansted, better known as "Pro-
fessor Young Dutchy," has worked day
and night for the success of this tourna-
ment. He declares that II the men
show themselves to be cutters, or fail
to come up to expectations, he will pre-
vent their appearance elsewhere on the
coast. In his efforts to make the affair
all that is desired he has been handi-
capped by backer of prize fighters, who
has made his presence unbearable in ali

range for the match. Hansted is known

A NARROW ESCAPE
r. K. McCreery Falls From a Nov.
ing Train

r. X. McCreery, treasurer Of the
Grand Encampment committee, I. o. o.
F., met with an accident yesterday,
which but for most forturate CHARGE
would have resulted fatally and thus
thrown a very sad gloom over the
present festivities here.
Mr.. McCreary was one of the commit
tee TO meet the encampment guests at
Saugus and escort them to the city. On
the return trip just before reaching the
long tunnel between Newhall and San
Fernar.do, Mr.. McCreary was seen pa S.
ing through the cars distributing
badges. When the train reached San
Fernando he was gore, had disappeared,
and the most rigorous search failed to
reveal any trace of him.
AS he is 72 years old, much alarm was
felt lest some serious accident had be-
fallen Mr.. McCreary, and all the after
noon the telephone ard telegraph wires
were kept hot with messages from his
anxious friends at this end in an effort
TO locate him. Finally after some hours
of horrible suspense the welcome news
came from San Fernando that he wa.
there, alive, and would reach the cit!
AbOut b O'CLOCK.
At that time good many anxious
Odd Fellow brothers were al the Area de
depot, arid when the train. rolled in there
sure enough was r. X. McCreary and he
was conscious sn6 able to speak, but
he was conveyed at once to his resi-
dence or. South Hope street, and at a
late hour last night was reported as
resting easily.
From the doctor and two small boys,
one colored and one white, who accom-
panied him, it was learned that in try
ing to go from one car to another in the
long tunnel, Mr.. McCreary haG gore one
car too far and, had stepped off the
rear platform of the rear end of the
train. Shortly after the two lads above
mentioned, while going through the
tusanel found the poor old man lying on
the ground between the tracks, cor
scious, but that was about ALL
With their help he was able to get
through the tunnel to the daylight out
side, and by means of freight train
which SOON came along they were all
taken to San Fernando where Mr.. Nc
Creary was put to bed and doctor
called. He found no borses were broker,
and by the next passenger train the
invalid was brought on to the city. 1t
was a very narrow escape, but from all
appearances, no worse.
