TARIFF AND WOOL.
How the Dfngley Bill Has Affected
This American Prodact-Re-
viving the Industry.

Under free wool the price dropped to
~ cents per pound. The present price
of wool Is due to the protection afford
ed by the Dingley tariff bill. The mar
ket has now nearly reached the point
1t which wool can be imported under
the new tariff. When our unwashed
wool has reached the price of about %
cents per pound the full protection at
forded by the Dingley tariff will havo
been reached. Under the Mckinley
tariff of $4,000 the price of wool was
22 TO "a cents per pound. which Is the
highest point II has reached In 10
years. Following this, for period OF
two years under Grover Cleveland and
no tariff, the price was about 10 cents
per pound for unwashed wool.
Owing TO the Dingley protective tar
jf the price to-day for unwashed wool
Ia 20 cents per pound, and with the
return OF prosperous times and the
consumption o. the enormous amount
OF foreign wool brought In under free
duty during the first half of the year
1907 we shall have reached the point
where the wool will receive the full
benefit OF the tariff which will advance
the price Of unwashed wool from two
TO four cents above the present price.
This will again revive the wool indus
try In this country and greatly in
crease the next years clip.--Meadville

That Sum Represents the Excess %

Foreign Trade Statistics for
Year Ending jane 80, ises.

The sum named above represents
the excess Of exports over imports
shown In the completed trade statis-
ties for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1898. This Is more than double the
amount of any favorable trade bal
ance hitherto recorded by the United
States.
In every detail which contributes to-
ward the grand total of national pros
perity this first fiscal year of the Ding
ley tariff Is n record breaker.
The exports for the year were 81, 231.-
sii, s6s, which surpasses by s1s0,31s,-
s12 the exports of last year under the
wilson-Gorma low tariff and no

The exports for 1898 were almost ex-
actly double the imports, as 81. 23i, 3ii.-

The total imports for 1898. $780,
o52, s44, is s14s,e77 sos less than the
total for 1897, and is the smallest vol
ume of imports recorded since 1870.
In 1879 the amount of imported mer-
chandise per capita of population was
$500. In 1898, with an estimated pop
ulation of 72,0O0,OoO. the amount per
capita is Sa.55. This is the lowest
amount of imported merchandise per
capita recorded In the past 81 years,
or since the average bulk of importa-
tions, interrupted by the civil war, re-
gained normal proportions.
During 1898 the excess of gold Inn
ports over gold exports has been s99,-
$4,000, while the exports of silver coin
and bullion exceeded the imports by
$44,o52, 900.
Taking these figures In connection
with those of the merchandise traffic
there Is an apparent credit balance In
favor of the United States of 1854, 000,-
600.
IL an allowance Is made for n per
manent debt on account of freight
charges on American commerce car
ried in foreign vessels, interest on for

abroad, amounting to si50,0o0000 per

The condensed record of the year,

The TRADE OF Two Countries.

For the first six months of 1898 Brit
ish trade statistics show an increase In
imports of $53,752,525 and decrease
OF exports of S24,5i1, 365, as compared
with the same months in 1897. The
balance OF trade against the United
Kingdom for half n year. measured by
the excess Of imports over exports,
amounts 10 sGf7.447. eco, or $4,000, 900
more than the favorable trade balance
OF the United States for the year end

trasfs such as these that the American
people may perceive at q glance the
value Of the American policy of In
areasing exports and diminishing I'M

TIE Effectiveness es Prosectioa II
Conceded by . Free Trade
Authority.

The New York Journal of Commerce,
free trade newspaper, Is strongly i'm
pressed by the extraordinary showing
of foreign trade contained in the re-
port of the bureau of statistics of the
treasury department. and Is moved to
remark:
The largeness OF our creditor balance II
not entirely due TO the increase In exports
markable. Comparing the exports with
those OF the next largest preceding year.
1912. we find an increase OF 81. 0o0, 900, or
20 per cent: whilst a comparison or last
years imports with those OF 1912 shows q
decrease OF $500. 5oo.O 900. or % per cent The
latter Is a most extraordinary movement
The higher tariff duties and the anticipa-
ton OF last years consumption or foreign
goods by the special supplies imported In
1861 have had much to do with the falling
on but we are disposed to conclude that
the decline IN the prices OF domestic man
ufactures and the growing acceptance or
home products among consumers have
been equally effective In this contraction or
importations. The increase In the exports
IL due mainly TO large shipments or bread
stufrs at excep tionally high prices and to
the still fast growing foreign demand for
our manufactures.
With these eminently sound conclu-
sions no fault is TO be found, but IL
may be parbonable to express mild
surprise that so much should be con-
ceded that Is contrary TO Cobdenite
theory and tradition. Undoubtedly the
higher tariff duties have had much
TO do with the falling of In importa-
tions of foreign goods. That Is what
higher tariff duties are for. In tho
absence of these higher tariff duties
nearly the whole of our big bulk of ex-
ported foodstuffs and manufactured
merchandise would have been paid for
In foreign goods and the splendid trade
balance of s6i5, 100000 would not now
stand TO our credit.
Worthy Of all praise are the candor
and fairness with which the Journal OF
Commerce acknowledges that "the de-
cline In the prices of domestic manu-
features and the growing acceptance
OF home products among consumey
have been equally effective In this coN
traction of importations." No pro-
tectionist claims more than that his
favorite system cheapens prices with
out cheapening wages and stimulates
''the acceptance OF home products
among consumers" This Is the very
end and aim of protection. No
stronger testimony to the efficacy Of
the American policy has been offered
from any source.

A Young Lady's Experience In . Rafi

n
way Car.
A young lady who lately journeyed
from Wimbledon to London had a very
uncomfortable adventure. She reached
the station just as the train was start
ing. and had only time TO jump into the
first compartment, where she dropped
upon seat. Not until the train was in
single fellow-passenger, a man. young.
well-dressed, but of a somewhat for
bidding aspect
The young lady unfoldhd a newspa-
per and began to read, but as the first
station was passed she CHANGED to
glance again toward the other end OF
the carriage. The man was there, but
his face was no longer serene. He APP
peared TO be greatly agitated, and wa.
gazing intently in the direction of the
young lady.
A sudden, overwhelming fear took
possession of her. All the wild stories
OF railway murders TO which she had
ever listenedlrushed through her mind.
She felt herself doomed. She thought
of shrieking for help, but her tongue
refused to move.
The monster-for so he seemed to her
looked anxiously about him, appar-
emily to assure himself that the time
was ripe for his murderous design.
Then he advanced to the other end Of
the carriage. came quite close TO his
panic-stricken fellow-passenger, and
put his right hand in his overcoat
pocket. Was he feeling for knife. or
a revolver? Springing to her feet, the
frightened traveller faced him in de-
spair.
"What do you mean ?" she cried, half
fainting with fear.
He bent toward her, smiled grimly,
and said:
Excuse me, madam. / offer you ten
thousand apologies il I have alarmed
you. Such a thing was farthest from
my thoughts, but the fact is, have 70
alight at the next station. and since you
entered the train you have been sitting
on my hat"
The revulsion Of feeling on the lady's
part can be better imagined than de-
scribed. Bushes took the place OF
panic. Fortunately the hat was soft

In the campaign OF 1896 the demo
cratic party and their allies positively
asserted the principle that IL was a
complete impossibility for the country
TO enjoy prosperity withouta change Of
the financial system In accordance with
their ideas. The point is no longer held
by anyone who Is familiar with such
facts as those which have just been
presented. What they are endeavoring
10 prove now Is that the republican
party has nothing to do with the pros
perity that has come from IL. With any
other party than the democratic this
would appear like Inconsistency, but
the democrats change face and argu-
ment so often that no one is surprised
at any variation in their views. The
only thing that could possibly be i'm

at last, one fine morning, we weighed

could manage, and stood out of North

captain had flown and fought under at
the palisade.
The three fellows must have been
watching us closer than we thought for.

there we saw all three of them kneeling

After that we kept under cover of

out they disappeared from the spit.
