EXPORTING "soUR WOOL"
About 10 Per Cent. Sent from Russia
to This Country Is Worthless.

Much of the wool which is exported in
large quantities from Russia to the Unit
ed States, principally at New York and
Philadelphia, is being largely adulterated
with "sour wool" gathered from the clip
pings of sheepskins made into clothing.
This "sour WOOL according to United
States Consul Heenan, at Odessa, is near
ly worthless to our manufacturers. In
anticipation of the taking of wool from
the free list large quantities are being
hurried to the United States, and this
contains from 10 to II per cent Of the
adulteration, Of which our manufacturers
are ignorant, but which could readily be
detected by the custom house inspectors.

Has Little influence.

AS Senator Stewart, the p~atriarehal
silver orator and bicycle rider, was
passing through MI Of the small parks
in Washington, he met a lady whe is
engaged in performing heroic work fol
the independence of Cuba. In the
course Of a brief conversation the lady
asked the Senator il he did not think
President Mckinley would 0 o do
something towards terminating the re.
bellion. Receiving a negative reply,
she expressed considerable surprise and
said:
"Why, it looks to me as if this AID.
ministration should take some action
Everybody has expected great things
from MI. Mckinley in the direction Of
freeing Cuba. You do not mean Ia
tell me that he has lost all interest in
the matter?''
"No," said the Senator, sit is not
that. But, notifying as the confes-
sion is, the truth must be told. As a
matter of plain fact MI. Mckinley has
but very little influence with the pre-.
sent Administration, apd hence there
is no likelihood Of anything definite and
beneficial being done for Cuba.n

the statement that Egypt, Persia,
Babylon and Rome fell when the mass
es were starving and over 80 per cent

the hands of a few.
The wealth of the nation in 1896
amounted to SCI, 459, 900, 900, about
81, 900 to each individual. He gives
statistics showing that IL per cent. Of
the families own Sc per cent of the
wealth, that within the last 30 years
25, 900 persons have absorbed one-half
the wealth and if it continues it WON'T
be long before the same condition ex.
lists here as did in Egypt and Rome
when they fellf 1t is because Congress
has SO shaped our laws that the wealth
has been legislated out Of the pockets

the exception clause in the greenback.

The State Of New Jersey has had
some experience with farm values, be
cause it invested some of its Sinking
Funds in farm mortgages. The loans
averaged $4,000 to each farm and the
State has had to become proprietor of
considerable desirable real estate.
These farms the State rents on shares
half the crop. The State expended on
these farms last year, S1,317,57, and
received S1,613.24, an averaged profit
of 500. A farmer writing to the Dover
IndeE on the above facts, concludes
that ''the object lesson in which the
State gives to owners OF farm property
is that our taxes or q farm valued at
$4,000 should not exceed $50. This
would give the farmers half the crop
and pay taxes with no margin for emer-
gencies. Il would suggest that the
State should own all the farms and
lease them out to the farmers for the
crop and exempt from all taxes
