Every wool buyer and manufacturer

But they never attempt to explain why.

Wool grown in this country has a
twofold demand for it at present: it
can all be used in domestic manufac-

Notwithstanding this ample home
market. the best grades of American
wool are being sent abroad for the bet

The truth is. as every man who IN
derstands the market bulletins knows,
that wool is subject to the same laws
that govern the price OF wheat-the
laws of supply and demand When wool
prices are high in England or in Aus

PUBLIC LOss--PRlvATE GAIN,

A suspicion is gradually gaining
ground among the people of the east.
regardless of party affiliations, that the
administration is in no hurry to close
the Philippine incident, because it
serves to distract the attention of un-
thinking people from the extravaganza,
improvidence and bargain making of
the Mckinley administration.
But the presidents instruction IS
expensive, too. Yesterday a deficiency
bill calling for another million and
half of the peoples money was intro
duced and will be passed, of course.
Seventy-five per cent of the amount
will go TO the Brother Abners' and
the gang of rascally contractors who
are reaping a harvest out of the ma
TONS VICE." but who dares protest?
The politician who holds a flag in
one hand and picks the public pocket
with the other is defended by a horde
Of bowling dervishes all over this coun-
try, who protect the villainy with a
pretense of patriotism.
These Philippines are very much or
a white elephant on our hands E1,.-
pensive in peace or war, the taxpayer
will be glad enough to get rid of them
at any price. But order must first be
restored. There must be peace before
the army is withdrawn.
Since, with the aid of the Tagals, we
undertook to drive Spain out Of the
archipelago. the American people have
maid out 1855, 600, 600 for this whim Of
the Hanna syndicate, and the end is
not yet.
This outlay has been apportioned as
follows:
On account of the war department,
S255, O00, 900.
On account of the navy department,
500, 100000.
Paid to Spain for the Philippines,
$4,000, 600.
Interest on war lean to date, $9,OoO'OO0
Increased expenses in departmental
service in washington, $2,OOO,OoO.
And the end is not yet. Nor Will
this deficiency bill cover it.
Contractors will thrive while the war
lasts-and the American people will
have to foot the bills.
The syndicate which hopes to profit
by this cheap coolie labor of the ORR
ent wher peace is restored Will make
billions for its stockholders-and the
soldiers are fertilizing the fields with
human bones for that enterprise.
SO long as imperialism holds sway at
Washington the people cannot help
themselves, and the soldiers cannot but
obey the orders of their superiors. But
the only gain will be to the Hannas.

er the ground glass, while for objects
near US the lens must be moved farther
from the ground glass.
The Choice Of a Diaphragm
After the focus has been taken and
all the lines are straight we then decide
on what diaphragm or stop should
be used. Some operators recommend
that the focusing be done with the
diaphragm in, but il has been the ex-
per ence Of the writer that beginners
make better progress by removing the
diaphragm from the lens part before
focusing, 10 be replaced after the
focusing Il would, OF course, be an
impOssibility to lay down any ironclad
rule for choosing the stop, as different
SUBJECTS VIII require different depths
of focus. 1t must be understood that
the diaphragm is used for two pur-
poses First, to secure greater depth
OF locus The smaller the diaphragm
the sreater the depth, or the father
back II will cut the picture sharp. But
the drawback in making too small a
diaphragm IS that il viii require a
considerable increase in exposure. The
second consideration in using the dap
hragm IS that it corrects spherical and
oLner alterations that are in the lens.
The chief point to be remembered in
using the diaphragm is to use the Iarg-
est possible, for il requires less time
ana the picture is better. The smaller
the diaphragm the tier the field.
or, IN other words, the more sameness
the picture will have It should be the
ann TO secure as perfect perspective or
distance as possible, and If too small a
diaphragm is used it Will bring the dis
tance into nearly the same focus as the
foreground, thus causing the fatness
spoken of above. About the simplest
rule OF a diaphragm is TO focus on the
central figure or object in the picture
with the diaphragm out and then put
IN dlnerent sizes until the one is found
that gives the effect Of the distance re-
ceding gradually until the farthest dis
tance IS of misty appearance. but
even the distance farthest from the
camera should be distinct enough TO
show what it is composed of. 1t will
be for nd that the diaphragms are an
numbered and run in numbers like this.
IA or Xl2 or x16 and so on. These
numbers are only to indicate the size
OF the diaphragm, but it is best not TO
rely on any number. but to educate the
eye to see all that is in the picture to
be made
