The senate computations Of the equiv
alents for Dingley bill rates on wooden
goods only need to be stated. They
make opposing argument unnecessary
in the mere reading. For example, IT,
rate is 55 per cent on second class wool
2S9 per cent on garnetted waste, 80
per cent on shoddy, III per cent on
wooden cloths valued at not more than
so cents per pound, 1877 per cent on
blankets more than three yards in
length and valued at not more than 80
cents per pound, 212 per cent on shawls
valued at not exceeding 40 cents per
pound, 151 per cent on knit fabrics val
ued at not exceeding 40 cents per
pound. 257 per cent on hats of wool val
ued at not more than 80 cents per
pound, 419 per cent ON felts of the
same value, 147 per cent on pushes
valued at not over 40 cents per pound,
and Ga per cent on the aggregate Of
wooden carpets.

Wool Bradstreet's.

There is more activity in foreign
wool, and Boston's sales for the
weel, isclnde 4,0S6.000 pounds of
Australian, 2,o1G,c9o pounds of
South american fine and crossbreds,
10000 pounds Of foreign secured,
and 100000 pounds Of carpet. 1t is
rumored that syndicate has been
formed to buy 10000 bales of Aus
tralian wool to hold for a year on
speculation, and that they have al
ready purchased half of that amount
on the market The wreck Of the
English steamer Ethclgonda at ST.
Lucas will keep about 100000 of
South American wool from this coun-
try, for even if the wool is recovered
from the wreck it is not probable it
can be accomplished in time to bring
in before the tariff bill will be passed.
Manufacturers have bought more
freely of foreign wool, while domes-
tic wool is also meeting with better
inquiry. The latter sells slowly,
however, while new WOODS from the
west are costing too much to be sold
on the present market. Fleece woods
are dull and nominal in price.

New England is much concerned
about free hides. Some Of her biggest
industries, especially that of boots and
shoes, have been built up during our
quarter of a century Of free hides. She
now sells boots and shoes in all parts Of
tho world. Taxed hides would cripple
this and other industries Her leading
senators pretend TO represent her and to
pat up fight for free hides. In reality
they will, if necessary, sacrifice free
hides to obtain high duties on sug-
ar with plenty of margin for trust prof
its. just why this is so should be a
matter for senatorial investigation, If
scch investigation would only investi-
gate. Fort uEaiiiy for the Sugar trust,

That must have been embarrassing
information to the United States senate
which Statistician Carroll D. Wright fur
nished that body last week concerning
the labor cost Of lumber in this country
and in Canada. His figures showed that,
while the average wages in Canadian
sawmills is $1.41 and Sill per day
here, the average labor cost of 1000
feet of lumber is $128 in Canada and
only 81 cents here. The decreased cost
of production in this country is attrib-
uted to the superior machinery used.
OF course the figures prove the free
trade contention that the rate of wages
paid does not indicate the cost of pro
duction-that low wages are very often
more expensive to employers, and vice
versa. But these hard facts furnished
by an officer of the government will not
dissuade the lumber barons from their
purpose to get tariff on Canadian luln-
Der so that they can the more effeotually
rob American consumers. Proteotionists
care nothing for facts. What they want
is license to steal.--National Single
Taxer.

He wished she'd make the biscuit then

She didn't wash the dishes, and she

And she didn't mend his stockings as

All, we'll she wasn't perfect, though

Until at length the thought her time

She turned and boxed his ears, just as

Prices of r.inens Go LIN.

When tho tariff bill was about TO be
framed, The Republican leaders stated
that they desired 10 be moderate and to
avoid anything like excessive rates. MIR.
Aldrich, when introducing the amended
measure in;o tie senate, claimed that
his rates were generally lower than
thoso Of the house bill. The linen
schedule, however. is a notable one Of
many exceptions. In it the senate rates
are higher than those of the house and
mueh higher than anything ever before
KNOW
Under the Mckinley bill of 1890 lin
ems were assessed 35 per cent, with a
few exceptions as high as 90 per cent
nd yalorem. Under the rates proposed
by the senate large proportion of the
goods ii everyday use will be assessed
from Go to 50 per cent and in some
cases over 100 per cent. The following
table shows some of the changes in the
cost of medium and low grade linens;

Tho domestic manufacturers in whose
interests these changes are supposed to
be made have stated that they do not
deserve over 30 per cent duty on linen
goods, and one of the principal manu-
facturers of linen and cotton handker-
chiefs in America (of Acheson, Harden
81 Co., Passaic, N. J. states that he does
not desire any advance of duty ON his
goods.
The gross injustice of these duties
can be appreciated when it is remem-
bered that, owing to climatic condi-
lions, good fiber flax cannot be grown
Tor linen manufactured successfully in
this country, and when 1t is further re-
membered that the kind of linen taxed
is the kind that is used by the poorest
classes, while much lower duty is put
on the finer grades.

From Blindness to Active Business in
Twenty eight DAYS.


One year ago Mr.. A. M. Cunning
ham, Ottawa, Kansas, found himself
blind in one eye from cataract and the
other failing rapidly. He had the one
operated upon by an oculist in st. Joe,
Mo-, resulting in painful confinement
and totally blind eye. The other was
now. too blind to do business He then
came to Pittsburg for the express pur-
pose of placing himself under the skill
full care of DR.. Sadler, S04 Penn avenue,
whose reputation for success in cataract
has extended throughout the length and
breadth of the United States. The re-
suit in this case added another laurel to
the Doctors credit, MIC. never having
had any pain either with the operation
or after It. In three weeks he could
read the finest print, and in four weeks
was out on the prairies of Kansas sell
ling reapers. The doctor has lost but
three cases out of the last 1l3 OF all ages
"a percentage of certainty worthy OF
consideration. No season of the year
more favorable than now.
