Wilson on the Wool Tariff.


The letters of Hon. W. l..
Wilson to the New York Herald
in which he discusses the Dingley
tariff bill have been remarkably
clear and strong exposures of the
inequalities and iniquities of that
measure.
In a recent communication he
handles the proposed wooden sche-
dule severely.
He says that if this schedule
should become operative its effect
would be to increase the cost and
degrade the quality of the wooden
goods consumed by the American
people. And, in his opinion, to
suppose that they will quietly sub
nit to such oppression and wrong
'tis to Ignore all past experience
and to underrate their intelli-
gence.
This opinion is shared by many
leading Republicans and by some
of the most Influential Republican
newspapers in the country. We
have quoted the words of warning
which Republican urn lslike the
Chicago Tribune and the Phila-
delphia Ledge, have addressed to
Mr.. Dingley and lis followers in
Congress These papers believe
that such a wooden schedule as is
Incorporated in the Ding1ey bill is
unjust III itself and would place a
burden upon the Republican party
which would break it down when
it comes to make its next race.
Mr.. Wilson states positively
that since the famous compact be-
tween the wool growers and wool
manufacturers associations, in
1857, and down to 1894, Congress
has allowed those associations to
frame their own schedules without
regard to any considerations OF
revenue OF of the interests of con-
sumers.
Mr.. Wilson justifes this as
sertion not only by the admis-
sions of the president of the
American Wool Growers Assoc
citation before the ways and
means committee, but on his own
knowledge of what occurred
when he was a member of thai
committee. He quotes Mr.. Nc
kinney, who, in presenting to
the house the conference repor'
on the bill of 1890, said of the
wooden schedule: This schedule
has the hearty approval of the
National Wool Growers Asso-
citation and of the several state
societies throughout the coun
try"

ties had framed the separat.

PROSPECT OF CHEAPER COZ
FEE.

For years past the article of
coffee has been one Of the most
expensive entering into the fam
lily budget of necessities. This
has been due to the Intervention
of home ard foreign syndicates
and combines. AT last, however,
the supply seems to have become
100 heavy TO carry any longer,
md a general break in prices has
resulted.
In this connection, the follow
ing from a late New York dess
patch is interesting:
"A further fail of 45 to 20
points in c,ffee has been records
ed for the week Notwithstanding
the continued decline that has
been going on almost steadily
for months. The market for both
spot and options is thoroughly
demoraliz-d. The quotations for
spot are nearly nominal at z l 4
cents, a decline Of l 2 cent since
the last Quotation. There has
been no change recently in the
general condition of the market.
There is the enormous supply OF
coffee. with no speculative inter>
est to take care Of the stock that
has been the feature for so long.
What trading there is, is almost
entirely caused by tie covering
of shorts, while no new interest
appears on tt e long side, eve on
the decline. 1t is generally ex
pected that the liquidation will
continue for some time, as 10th
Europe ana Brazil are heavy
holders Of the product and are
ready to sell at every opportuni-
ty. The almost certain assurance
of another heavy crop this year
is a continued incentive to reduce
stock at almost any price"

Big and Little Jobs.

When our fathers in 1884, with a
slight change in 1887, established the
present ratio of coinage, they took an
average of the price of silver in all
the markets of the world. They found
this to be 1899 per ounce in gold.
This made the ratio of coinage 10. 98S
to /, which has Eeen the ratio since
that time. They tried to make the
legal ratio coincide with the true com,
mercial ratio to the third decimal place,
or to / part in about 10000. Now
people talk seriously of ignoring l part
in 2 or 1900 out of 10000. Such facts
as these illustrate our wonderful growth
in power since 1884, or at least in our
own estimate Of our power to overturn

Silver Drives Out Mexico's Gold.

Mexico is supposed to be bimetalliO
country. Silver and gold are coined at
the mint and are both legal tender. But
silver has driven gold completely out Of
circulation, and in practice Mexico is
really monometallic nation. The gold
coins are at premium in silver when
they circulate at all The American
gold which travellers bring in also COM
mands premium at the money brokers.
All this confirms in actual practice
the assertion that the free coinage Of
silver in the United States would drive
gold out of circulation and thus entail
on our country the loss, Inconvenience
and commercial degradation which the
silver standard ~ plies,
