With splendid weather an exceptionally
good card. a fairly fast track and a crowd
Of nearly fifteen thousand people present,
the spring meeting OF the Washington
Jockey Club closed at he Benning course
yesterday afternoon. 1t was the largest
and most notable assemblage ever gathered
at the track, and il stamped approval on
the meeting and augured success for those
to come. Washington society was presen:
in great numbers. and the private boxes
were crowded with prominent folk. The
graudstand was bright with the glitter of
Easter bonnets. while the lawns, walks,
club house. betting ring. and paddock We're
black with humanity Three races on the
fiat and three over the jumps furnished a
splendid afternoons sport. and with such
programme every day, the local organiza-
tion could coin money.
The fields were rather slim in several of
the events. owing to numerous scratches,
but the best of the contestants started, and
furnished excitement enough to satisfy
anybody. The layers of odds reaped a rich
harvest Of get. away money. as the "a
yorites went to the bad in four of the six
races, while the talent took comfort in
dreams of what they would do in the fall,
as the bugler niournfuiiy sounded taps and
the boards bearing the names of the
jockeys were taken down and slowed away
for the summer

Aside from the jumping races. the Ben
ming handicap was the event in which in
ming centred land the great crowd yelled
itself hoarse when ChGrentus lowered the
colors of the great mare Imp and won by
several lengths. 1t was splendid con-
test all through and was a three-ho
race until the turn into the stretch. Imps
defeat may be attributed to Jockey Clay in
a measure, as he made too much use of
the mare. by trying to set 7the pace on the
back stretch. and the weight told when

for so a ton, and for SIS in America.
In April of that year the price was S23,-

preposterous. therefore, to charge the
American advance to the steel rail

same as the English advance. The in

due almost altogether to speculative

of the plain people, is less than half
as much as it was ten years ago.
Or, take the farmers great staple,
wool. This has advanced in price, but
it requires considerable hardihood to
charge 1T up to monopoly or combina-
tion. There Is no farmers trust; there
is no wool growers trust. Wool is
protected by the tariff, and il the Dem
ocratic party demands that this protec-
tion be stripped away, there are sew
eral hundred thousand farmers in de-
batablc states each side of the Missis-
sippi river who would like very much
to know the reason why. Wool is
high now, bnt it is only high in com
parison with the ruinous German
Wilson rates of few years ago. when
American farmers could not make any
thing from their wool sheep and were
slaughterlng several millions a year
for mutton.
In 1890 wool Of the "washed Ohio
fleece" variety was selling for SO cents
pound. In 1894, after the Democrat
ic free wool victory, 1t had fallen TO 23
cents. In 1895, under the whitening
effect of the free wool clause of the Cor
man-Wilson tariff it fell away again
to III cents, and it looked as if the
final disappearance of wool sheep from
American plains and hillsides were
near at hand. But in 1898, with the
DINGHY tariff enacted and protection
restored, American wool spraDg up
again to 30 cents pound. In April
of this year it stood at 324 cents,
which gives some return to the Amer
ican farmer for his labor and his cap
ital, and is, after all, only fair recov-
cry of lost ground.
We hear much Of the iron trust and
the steel trust, but, as a matter of
fact, there is no comprehensive com.
bination in this great industry. 1t is
too vast, there are too many different
establishments for evena Napolean of
finance TO organize hard and fast
combination of the whole iron and
steel trade to fix prices and regulate
production. Some branches of this
trade, it is true, are organized, but the
workmen therein employed will tell
you, if you ask them, that organiza-
ton in their cases works quite as much
to their benefit as to that of their en-
ployers.
Iron and steel prices have unques-
tionably risen in the Uuited States,
but that this is due to better times
and an improved demand all over the

Some High Prices and Why.

AS compared with three or four
yearsago, this is an era of high prices
for the nee cssaries oflife. There is no
use in denying that There is 40 need
of denying it, although it is the plain
purpose of the Democratic politicians
once more, as in 1850, to make these
high prices and the high cost of living
a loud issue of the political campaign.
The question is one that will bear de-
batting. Republicans, sound money
men, protectionists need not shrink
from the test. The Democrats will
claim that this high cost of the nee
essaries Of life is due to the protec-
| tive tariff and to trust eXtortion. But
with three or four months before US
to discuss this question, nothing is
easier than to convince honest and
open minded people that this asser-
tion OF the free silverites and the free
ttraders is untrue.
Already the business men Of the
country, who are this year, even more
than in 1896, the real backbone of the
Republican strength throughout the
nation, are furnishing facts and fig
ures that completely overwhelm the
Democratic argument. In an admira-
bic little pamphlet, "Dlnner Pail Doc
ument No. s." the United States Ex-
port Association, with headquarters
at No. 143 Chambers street, New York,
addresses itself directly to the high
prices phase of the presidential ques
tion. Take cor ton cloth, for instance.
Cloth that a year ago was selling for
about two cents yard has lately been
quoted at 3 3-S cents, but this little
pamphlet, which tens Of thousands Of
wage earners will read between now
and election day, points out that raw
cotton raised by the Southern farmers
has gone up from st cents to about 81
cents pound, thus accounting for al
most all the higher price of cotton
cloth, 1t might have been added that
there has been an increase, also, in
the wages Of the operatives of the
New England mills, and that this has
to be counted in the increased cost of
production.
Coffey has advanced in price, and
we hear much about the manipulation
of monopoly. But this cannot be
charged up to the tariff at any event,
for coffee is on the free list, where it
mas been for the last quarter of a cen
tury, and where it was placed by Re
publican law makers, who desired, so
far as they could, 10 give the work.
ing people OF the country a Stree
breakfast table," Ten years ago the
average price Of fair Rio coffee, the
wholeal price, was 1894 cents
pound. In 1898, because Of the vastly
increased production, the cost OF Rio
had declined to 7.64 cents pound,
and in 1899, helped on all this time by
a fierce war among coffee Importers,
it had fallen to 6.26 cents. Ia April.
1900, with the impetus OF better times
and increased demand, the price Of
coffee had advanced toscents pound.
