Protecting wooIgrowers.

4 Suppose the Dingley duties on wool
would give the woolgrowers all the
protection claimed and that the price
of wool would actually go up the full
amount of the duty, which, of course,
is absurd. What would be the effect
upon the country at large?
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, statistician,
estimates the annual wool product at
S55, 900, 900 out of a total of $i3,2 zoo, 000,-
600 produced by all the workers of the
country and the persons dependent on
the wool industry at 300 5000 out OF a
total population of 73.00o.000. The
wool duty then means that out of every
240 persons 239 are TO be held up" for
the benefit of the other one. This is n
sample of what protection does. OF
course more than 100000 persons may
sometimes raise a few sheep, but the
interests of these others are more those
Of the than of the sheep
raiser, and they would lose more be-
cause of the increased cost of woolens
than they would gain by the increased
price of wool.
The protective tariff system is a farce
when considered in connection with the
farmer or the workingman. VIII they
ever fully appreciate u?

MORBID SENSiTIvENESS.
The Terrible S~elf-Tortune of u Fa-
nous Writer.

William Hazlitt. the critic and essay
list. wrote with a satirical pen. But.
like most satirists. he was very sensi-
tive. and bitterly resented any attack
upUn himself. So irritably alive was he
to Sights that il a friend passed him in
the street without seeing him, he would
at once decide hat he had been inten-
~tionally ''cut,' fly into an absurd pas
sion, and if possible, pillory the offender
in an essay.
Blackwood's Magazine persistently
attacked Hazlitt, who was a liberal in
politics, and therefore opposed to the
literary representative of Scotch tory
ism. The attacks were low and per-
sonal, and so depressed the morbidly
sensitive critic that he skulked through
the streets of London like a criminal,
anxious to avoid the detectives eye.
His friend, Mr.. T.. G. Parmore, thus de-
scribes the painful feelings of the man
after an article from Blackwood had ag-
gravated his naturally irritable self
consciousness.
IF he entered a co~ffee-house to get
his dinner. 1t was impossible. he
thought, that the walters could be doing
anything else all the time he was there
but pointing him out to guests as the
gentleman who was so abused last
month in Blackwood's Magazine II
he knocked at the door of a friend, the
look and reply of the servant. whatever
they might he. made 1t evident that he
had been reading Blackwood's Maya
zine before the family were up in the
morning.

servant who waited upon him did not
answer his bell the first time-ah! twas

was her custom-how could he wonder

grow wise. At first he wondered, then
he understood. He asked himself what,
after all. is the reward of virtue; and he
determined that il has none. There are
those who hold otherwise, but the ques-
ton is not yet settled. He was lonely,
ex~patriated and homesick. He was also
young and full of energy and anxious to
be met half way. But he could not
travel the whole road alone. He turned

gilded than of yore, but that was the
fault of the country.

Lovat knew her by sight, but he had
never spoken to her or heard her speak
which was a harmonious treat-until
he came upon her, one day, some five
miles from the post. She had dismount-
ed to tighten her saddle girths, and she
was alone. How should Lovat have
guessed that she had seen him coming
ere she had slipped to the ground, and
that she was purposely goading her
placid black steed to be unmanageable

Saw the Great Folly of Taking Hsdeo

The following letter, from Secretary
of State James g. Blaine in 1890, Is sup.
posed to have had great weight with the
ways and means committees:
Washington. April 10. 1890.
Dear Mr.. Mckinley: 1t is a great mistake
TO take hides from the free list. where they
have been for so many years. II Is a slap
In the face to the South Americans. with

Pray stop 1t before IL sees light. Such
movements as this for protection will pro-

tirement Yours hastily.
JAMES G. BLAINE.
Hon. William Mckinley, Chairman Ways
and Means.
Where is the Blaine this year who
can head off the westerners who want
their share of protection and foolishly
imagine that they can get it by a duty
en- hides? 1t is perfectly consistent
with the protection system to tax hides.
| especially as the bulk of the tax would
probably go to a few monopoly butchers
and ranchmen. But observe some OF
the effects upon our industries:
The importations of untaxed hides
and skins last year were valued at $780,
216,25s. The goatskins were valued At
$40, 3 $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 u own people cheaper and
better than are made elsewhere in the
world, but we exported finished prod
ucts of the value of S20,242.756 With
out free and cheap raw material this
export trade would have been impossi-
BILE, 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 $25,542, Ice.
