clear, that it will largely depend on the
course pursued by the socialists. Three

may indefinitely continue their present
opposition to the government. and
then they can only be source of weak

and be its chief pillar of strength. This
is the consummaticn that every friend
of Germany and of humanity must de-
toutly wish. 1t would bring advantage
to both sides and put an end to au-
tocracy. The empire would have to
abandon its attempt to return to me.

its subjects large liberty of thought,

Urge Moderation,

Some of the severest criticisms not
only of special duties and clauses, hut
of the whole accursed protective sys-
TEN. come from the protected manufac-
turCrs themselves in their struggle with
opposing interests. Mr.. S. n. d. North,
secretary of the Woclen Manufacturers
| association, is now and always has been
a stanch protectionist. As such he be-
lieves that the 20, 600, coo consumers of
this country are legitimate subjects for
plumber and that the manufacturers
are the proper persons to enjoy the pro-
lection plunder.
The free wool experiment which we
have been trying for three years, besides
being an object lesson in the way of
cheap woolens, has taught the woolen
manufacturers that they can make as
much or more profit with free wool and
moderate protection, which permits peo-
pie of moderate means to wear real
woolen goods, than with high duties on
both wool and woolens, which restricts
the use Of woolens to people in good cir
cun;stances. The manufacturers there
fore display more than their usual mod
esty and patriotism in the advice which
they are giving TO congress. Mr.. North
is in Washington to voice the manufac-
turers' patriotism. Here is part of his
advice as taken from the Washington
correspondence of The Dry Goods Econ
omist:
am free TO say the bill is far from satisfac-
f<,f %
fault is TO be found with the raw wool duties,
which are so high that our manufacturers will
find themselves sOrcly embarrassed. 1t is true
the committee has provided compensatory
duties which are probably sufficient to offset
the duties on raw wool, but the difficulty will
be, in my opinion, that the very considerable
increase in price which must be made to cover
the additional cost of raw material will have
the effect Of cutting down consumption to an
extent that will be disastrous to the manufac-
turers. l do not contend that the rates on
woolen manufactures in the bill are not suffi-
cient to protect us against too severe foreign
competition, but the limit of the consumers
purchasing power must control him in buying
wooden manufactures, and fear the rates Of
the new bill will very materially restrict con-
sumption.
This is practically saying to Dingley,
Aldrich and the other servants of the
protected manufacturers at Washington:
$50 slow with your high duties and
don't try to protect too many. If you
let everybody into the protection ring,
there will be nobody outside to prey
upon and we will have to prey upon
each other. Don't make the mistake of
taxing raw materials too high. We
wouldn't mind it if we could sell cur
goods and charge the tax over to the
consumer. But when the tax is so high
that we have to make our prices almost
out of sight we have found that we can
not sell SO many goods because the peo-
pie can't afford te wear clothes-that
is, woolen clothes, which are the only
ones worth considering because they are
the only ones which we manufacture.
Our solicitude for the dear American
consumer is such that we do not wish
to compel him to clothe himself in the

Protecting the Few woolgrower..

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 up
on the country at large?
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, statistioian,
estimates the annual wool product at
500, 900, 600 out of a total of $l3, ,200,-
000,c00 produced by all the workers of
the country and the persons dependent
on the wool industry at 500, coo out of
total population of 10000, 900. The
wool duty then means that out of every
$40 persons 239 are to be 'held up for
the benefit of the other one. This is a
sample of what protection does OF
course more than 800, 200 persons may
sometimes raise few sheep, but the
interests Of these others are more those
of the consumer than of the sheep raiser,
and they would lose more because of in
creased cost of woolens than they would
gain by the increased price of wool.
The protective tariff system is farce
when considered in connection with the
farmer or the workingman. Will they
ever fully appreciate it?

We used to hear much for twenty
five years from the Republican breth-

about an awful organized appetite. -

During all these twenty-five years the

The tOllOWlnR letter from secretary
of State James G. Blaine in 1890 is
supposed to have had great weight with
the ways and means committee:
WASHINGTON, April 10. I590.
DEAR Mr.. MCkINLEY-It il great mistake
to take hides from the free list; where they
have been for many years. 1t is slap IN
the face to the South Americans, with whom
we are trying to enlarge our trade. 1t will
benefit the farmer hy adding to per cent to
the price of his children's shoes. 1t will yield
O profit to the butcher only. the last man that
y Ids it. The movement is iniudicious from
.eginning to end, in every form and phase.
Pray stop it before it sees light Such move
ments this for protection will protect the
Republican party into-a speedy retirement
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 Il duty
on hides! 1t is perfectly consistent with
the protection system to tax hides, es-
pecialIy as the bulk of the tax would
probably 60 to few monopoly butch
ers and ranchmen. But observe some of
the effects upon our industries:
The importations of untaxed hides
and skins last year were valued at S20,
216, ,52S. The goatskins were valued at
$40, 303,359. 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 our own people cheaper and
better than they are made elsewhere in
the world, but we exported finished
products of the value of $50, 24a, $50.
Without free and cheap raw material
this export trade would have been i'm
possible, and our own people, az 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, 166.

Do Snakes Really Bite?

a careful student of snakes and their
ways declares that they never bite,
despite the common belief that they kill
in that fashion. In fact. says this man,
snakes can't bite because their jaws
are connected only by a cartilage, and
not hinged, and cannot be brought to-
gether with any force. The snake sim
ply hooks the fangs in its upper jaw
into the object aimed at, the lower jaw
not figuring at all. The act is very
similar to that of man striking Il
cotton hook into bale of cotton, or 4
boat hook into pier.
