1t is great piece of nonsense to at
tempt to bring about prosperity by
enacting monopoly tariff. Our coun.
try does not suffer from a food of foreign
goods nor from competition with foreign
manufacturers. Our ruin and bank
ruptcy are owing to the impoverishment
Of the agriculturists, brought about by
discardIng silver as money and putting
gold at premium, and thus piling
bounties on our competitors abroad and
beneftting the gold oligarchy at home.
our own people have been impoverished
and sacrificed and made unable to buy.
Hence our manufacturers lost their home
market, their great market, and lost
prosperity. We must restore silver,
abolish m onopoly, tighten, not increase,
burdens, and so relieve the people and
bring back prosperity.

are not above such weakness2

WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE work
OF the Republican members Of the ways
and means committee on the wool Eched-
ule has brought the wool growers and
manufacturers to Washington In full
force. They filled the lobby OF the
Cochran hotel to-day while the tariff
makers were In conference In their up
stairs room, and when the members
emerged. each one OF them was sur
rounded by n group of wool men endelv-
orinB 10 Impress upon their Victim the
urgent needs ct their particular branch
of the business. Chairman Dipgley was
half an hour running the gauntlet TO the
door He listens with patience to every
| statement, but the results do not show
that representatives OF special Interests
gain anything by coming 10 Washington
to present their cases In person.
After tweuty-fOur hours OF work on
the second half OF the wool schedule, that
covering manufactures OF wool, the
duties have been made practically rcpc-
tltlOu OF the rates OF the Mckinley bill.
The Mckinley rates on raw woclS having
been re-ndopted It was considered the
only logical arrangement 20 adopt also
the compensatory duties on manurac-
lures OF wool OF the Mckinley law, 20
this policy was followed.
There was an attempt made 10 change
the nd vllorem rates on woulen manu-
factures In the Mckinley act TO specific
but such great diiiicultleB have been en-
count"red that the undertaking has been
abandoned for the time being at any rate
and tonight the committee had practlc-
ally decided to accept the wool schedule
OF the Mckinley act.
The earthenWare schedule is not yet
perfected. The same difficulties have
been met with In adjusting the rates on
earthenwRre that were involved on wool
en- goods, in the attempt 10 carry into ef-
feet the Republican policy OF replacing
ad valorem with specific. 1t has been
found almost Impossible to determine
upon standards by which specific rates
can be levied on china and pottery goods
the factors OF decoration, weight and
processes OF manufacture entering 80
largely into the value OF these goods and
IL il quite probable that they will be
placed under the Mckinley schedule
with some Immatsrial changes
The reciprocity principle which Will be
embodied In the bill will be that OF lower
duties on certain classes OF goods In re-
turn for concessions 20 certain lines oil
American goods.
The President will be empowered by
the bill to enter into treaties by which
the duties Will be materially lowered On
importation OF these goods from coun-
trleB which make concessions TO AmerI'
can and other products.

An passenger trains on this end Of
the road are tied up on account OF the
freight blockade ON the main line. Two
freight trains on the western end OF
the South Shore. between Nestoria and
Duluth are tied up and will not be NOV
