 Itis claimed that under the existing tariff duties the foreign manufacturers will be unable to furnish more than 10 per cent of the woolen goods sold in the United States, SO that the American manufactures will have Co furnish g0 per cent, 0r 85r1- 62g 09J,0 ,00D pounds.
 Add to this estimate the PUG, 100000 held over from last year, and the am- ount likely to represent the require men ts of the year 1898 will be seen to be 83O .OO0. 900 pounds.
 St. Louis Is big market for wool. great part of the clip from the west and southwest coming here either on con- signment or is bought by dealers for shipment to the mills further west. MT. Sachs. one of the largest wool dealers in St. Louis, said that he expected to. see considerable activity in the wool market within the next two weeks, but no marked advance in prices untif later in the season. Tine present price of wool. he said. is 20 cents, but if there is as great shortage as has been figured by the experts he thought prices would 20 considerably higher before the close of the year.

Bank clearings are an absolutely se-
liable barometer OF general business
conditions. That a steady and per-
manent increase in bank ciearings from
week to week means a positive COM
mercial and industrial revival is as
certain as the law of gravitation. That
a commercial and Industrial revival
means more employment for the wage
earners, and hence increased purchas-
ing power for the laboring classes, is
equally certain.
The bank clearings OF Chicago for
the month of November tell a tale of
good times that must completely con-
found the most resourceful and tact
full OF the calamity walters. There is
no argument that can be advanced by
the apostles of discomfort that will pre-
vail against figures which show actual
business transactions.
The bank clearings of Chicago for
November reached the enormous as
gregate of sass, 900, 900, which is a gain
Of 800, TOO, 900 over the corresponding
month Of last year. This remarkable
gain Is the highest on record SINE the

Food for Thought.

Mr.. C. Il. Cramp. a short time ago,
at the meeting of the board of trade
and transportation in New York city,
said: mo nation has ever been able
to maintain ship-owning by purchas-
ing its ships from the ship-builders OF
other nations" This remark offers
food for thought to members of con
gress and to the people generally. The
American policy of protection is a
broad aand national policy and should
embrace every American industry
within It's beneicent workings.

A Question OF Purchasing Power.


1t is a fact of record that many ar
ticles of use and consumption were
cheap under the Wilson tariff bill.
But were the great mass of the people
more prosperous because of that? is
1t not rather the fact that the people
were far less able to take advantage
of the cheap prices than they had been
to possess the comforts and even the
luxuries of living for years before the
passage OF that Ubiquitous measure, for
all the higher prices that prevailed?
Were not these cheap prices. indeed,
buy more because of cheap prices?
Was not purchasing actually reduced?
Did they not actually buy less? What
retailer found his volume of business,
to say nothing of his profit, increased
by the cheap prices? Were not prices
cheap because labor was cheap? Did
not the reduction of purchasing power
follow quickly upon the cutting down
of earning power, so that though the
latter resulted in the production OF
cheapened goods the market for them
was reduced, too, in proportion? Who
was the gamer? Surely not the pro-
ducer. Surely not the manufacturer.
Surely not the retailer. Quite as surely
not the consumer. who, noting the
tempting cheap prices, found himself
yet unable TO take advantage of them.
Wages and income have been cheap
ened along with prices. And as a mat
ter of record the latter never reached
the level of the former.-Providence
