"The farmer who raises the cattle hardly

will give the farmer who raises the sheep the
benefit of it, because wool san object Of an
industry and not an incident; the farmer
does his own clipping sells his own wool,
aud the wool is the most valuable portion of

BRUMM ON THE TARIFF.

In the Philadelphia Ledger Of the 23d
inst, we notice a communication from Hon.
Charles n Brumm, in which our Congress
man corrects the Ledger in some misleading
statements it made in an editorial article
bearing on the duties of hides and wool
Mr. Brumm says the article in question
'buries great error under a. great truth,
The error is made in assuming that all duties
must necessarily raise the price Of the article
upon which they are levied. This is true
when they are levied for revenue only;
whereas whom duty is levied as a protec-
tive tariff (which, of course, also produces
reYenue), the article upon which it is levied
is ia the long run reduced iu price. In other
words, duty so levied that it will raise the
price of the commodity is not a protective
duty, but is in every instance a revenue duty
only, Moreover a protective duty must
always be paid by the producer, while a
revenue duty must always be paid by the
consumer"
''The cost Of the production of an article, -
continues Mr. Brumm, is not the only factor
in regulating price. In fact it is only a
factor up to the lowest point Of competition,
which is the amount il viii cost the most
favored competitor to deliver the article at
point Of competition. That, Of course in
cludes the duty as well as the freight ON the
same Whenever the price gets above that
point. then it is regulated entirely by supply
and demand This, again, illustrates how
protection in the long run reduces prices,
although il may not reduce cost. Therefore
duties should be levied so as only TO enable
the American producer TO get into fair aud
healthy competition with the fueigu pro
ducers who have the advantage Of cheaper
labor and natural conditions
In speaking Of the tariff on wool, while ad-
mitting that it would for a short time in
crease the price to the consumer, Mr.. Brumm
argues that if a duty ON wool is levied ouly
sufficient to protect our farmers against huct-
uations aud speculations Of the foreign wool
grower aud dealer, it viii ensure stability,
stimulate the production Of wool in this
country, and so enlarge the worlds product
of wool that the price of wool will be re-
duced to the lowest point of cost Of produc-
tion in the most favored localities, plus only
transportation aud the healthy protective
duty. In other words it viii deprive the
foreign producer Of his abnormal profits, and
make him appropriate them to tho payment
Of the protective duties that we levy
"a duty on hides, however will raise the
price Of hides and leather and all its pro

Atlanta, April 27.-Harry A. Cassin,

Loan and Banking company who con-
fessed to being defaulter to the ex-
tent of $4,000, and whose friends had

him out of Jail, is today behind the
bars of Fulton prison. At a meeting

tuition yesterday it was discovered that

To-day is the seventy-hfth anniversary of
the birth Of General Grant, aRd in honor of
the great soldier statesman the magnificent
mausoleum erected in Riverside Park New
York city, was dedicated to his memory with
splendid pomp and impressive ceremony. An
elaborate program marked the days pro-
ceedings, in which high officials of the states
and the nation participated. The men most
prominent in the affairs of to-day as well as
those survivors of the silent leader who were
in the forefront when he was winning fame
and honor were there to pay him spoken
tribute.
Nearly a score Of years ago, when General
and Mrs. Grant were in Europe they visited
together the tomb of Isabella and Ferdinand.
The sight of that royal couple who had been
sleeping there side by side in peace for cen
turies appealed to the usually practical and
unsentimental soldier. Turning to his wife,
he said tenderly: Julia, this is the way we
should rest in death" Years afterward,
when death had claimed the great general
and his body had been brought down from
Mount Gregor to New York city, where it
passed through miles of solidly packed
mouners. there came requests from different
parts of the country for the honor Of pro
vidiug a last resting place, and New York
was selected by Mrs Grant,
Time and again the work on the tomb was
suspended and the dedication postponed
from year to year. But now the beautiful
Doric mausoleum is practically complete,
Only the finishing touches, such as placing
the groups of statuary and putting the last
strokes to the interior, remain to be done
1T has been worth waiting for" will doubt
less be the verdict Of the thousands who saw
it for the first time to-day.

IOWA'S SERIOUS FL0OD.
The Des Moines River Climbing to
Dangerous Proportions,
OTTUMwA IN A SORRY PLIGHT

The sudden Rise OF the River Compels
Many Families Co Flee From Their
Homes. Numbers Escaping in Boats.
Railroad Tramc Suspended.
Ottumwa, Ia, April q. - The Des
Moines river, which Sunday midnight
was stationary at the high water
mark established by the great flood
of 1892, suddenly began to climb, and
by o'clock yesterday had added 10
inches to the record The levees broke
in many places, railroad embankments
were undermined and hundreds OF
families were compelled to leave their
residences In haste. In Ottumwa over
300 families were compelled to move,
a large number making their escape
in boats.
At Eddyville, 13 miles north of this
city, $50 families vacated their domi-
Giles, and the principal streets are be-
ing navigated in rowboats.
At South Ottumwa the river flows
parallel with the main street. 1t broke
across this street yesterday and poured
down the business and residence
streets, causing a panic and a scramble
for higher ground. Five thousand peo-
pie reside in this suburb. Several hun
| dred deserted their residences and re-
moved their goods. The water stand1
four feet deep in Fairview.
A large reservoir situated in tho
summit of Court Hin is the source
of considerable fear. The recent down
pour has swollen the sources of supply
and the reservoir is now so full that
1t threatens to burst and flood the pop
ulous districts below.
Although the railroad companies
have made strenuous efforts to save
their property, traffic is almost at q
standstill. All the small streams in
southern Iowa are out of their banks
Railroad bridges are gone and travel
/ by highway is out of the question. The
Burlington main line between Chicago
and Denver is cut in two by five miles
of inundated track The Rock Island
also has five miles of track under
water west of here The Milwaukee
and st. Paul roundhouse and yards are
under water, and part of one approach
to their bridge has been washed away
The Chicago Great Western line is en-
tirely shut off. So is the Iowa Cen
trail. The Wabash still has entrance
from the south, but is shut off On the
north end.
Work on the levees before this city
has been progressing since last Friday
but the sudden rise yesterday destroy
ed a great part of what has been ac-
complished. Large forces are employed
in an endeavor to prevent further
breaks.
The suburbs have so far been the
worst sufferers aside from the rail
roads. West Ottumwa, a large resi-
dence section, is entirely flooded, and
/ the water is still rising. The inhabi-
/ tants cling to their homes, however
/ hoping that the worst is over.
/ Rich farming lands above and below
the city are inundated. The flood there
has not reached a high stage, but ha!
spread out in many places to a widtr
of five or six miles. No loss of life has
been reported, but the damage to prop.
erty will be very large.
