THE PRICE OF WOOL.

one of the curious commercial phe-
nomena of today is the low price of
wool.
In Clay, Robinson & Co.'s Live Stock
report it is sud that the sheepmen OF
the west are passing through IAN
economic cleansing fire which every in
dustry has to face" 1t thinks that
wool sales will soon begin in earnest,
but also that the cash realized from
them will be only 40 per cent of the
amount received by the sheepmen one
year ago.
Most of the wool from Wyoming has
been consigned to eastern points, but
Utah and Idaho are prepared to sell
and take the market value. In Idaho
successful wool sales are being held,
and last Saturday mt Payette in that
state clips sold from IL to 143s cents
per pound, or just about cents below
last years prices. For tine better class
Of woods the demand is evidently inn
proving a little, During May of last
year Boise banks received over $780,
600 for wool. This year so far scarcely
a dollar has come in.
What Is the cause of the present low
price of wool? Nearly all other ar
ticles retain their usual prices. Beef
is still at high level; and the much
heralded reduction in iron prices
amounts only to something like ten
per cent. Considering the average
level of price, wool has been perhaps
as low this season as it has ever been
in history, and though, by concerted
action, better prices have recently been
obtained, the price is still so low as to
be quite phenomenal

for drastic Encouragement in their
financial plans and took Immediate
steps TO meet the situation. Every
large organization of capital in the.
country did the same thing. Expendi-
lures were reduced both in operation
and in contemplated extensions and
betterments. The whole country was
affected, particularly in the manufac-
turing states.
No matter what party won the cleo
ton, no matter how sanguine the I'M
thinking might be as 70 the power OF
government 10 force prosperity on arti-
fetal lines, the men who study finance
knew that the only way to recovery
from the panic was through natural
lines. through economy on the part OF
the people. through the limitation of
speculation, bl slow stages. James J.
Hill of the Northern Pacific put it -terse-
ly when he said the way to bring pros
perity was, to wear last winters over
coat: in other words. the only way
capital can be accumulated is by saw
ing.
Having succeeded in creating some
thing of boom in stocks Immediately
after the election. during which long
lines were unloaded at a profit, the
strong financial interests that supported
the market for that purpose have
dropped out and let prices take their
natural course Europe which took
profits on American securities, has been
taking our gold in large amounts; the
money market has hardened and rates
have stiffened up, followed by natural
depression in prices. Meanwhile the
effect of tariff revision, aided by Mr..
Tafts uncompromising declaration that
the tariff must be revised honestly.
Evidently political finance, the pre-
dietion of a wave OF immediate pros
perity in the event of Republican sue
cess, had very little reason about it. If
Mr. Bryan had been elected and prices
had taken the course thsy have recent

been to blame. BY the same logic, Mr..
IdlA : election Il the EdIrc OF the pres
ent situation. As a matter of fact.
neither conclusion would have any JUS
tice in it: the laws OF finance are as in
exorable as the laws of nature. The
nation had been having a financial de-
bauch, and it is now having its Katzen-
TANNER hour.
Fortunately, the speculative element
is the chief sufferer from the hallucina-
ton that prosperity can be enacted by
congress. The people have got down to
real business and are rapidly making
their own prosperity in the only sub
stantial way. Manufactures are in

THE M ETALS
pURLIc PRINTING PAP.

Ii IL did not involve a serious ques-
ton of public policy. there would be
something funny about the discussion
between the Republican newspaper and
the American" organ over the public
printing in the delinquent tax list.
In the generosity of their hearts, the
county commissioners. Clinton and
Mackay. concluded this year to violate
all the precedents Of their office and
give the tax list 10 their party sheet
at about 80 per cent more than they
could have had ii printed for in open
competition. The result is equivalent
TO a donation of about s., 900 of county
funds for the privilege of supporting
the party newspaper. OF course, the
morality of the thing, OF rather the i'm
morality of it, did not trouble Messrs.
Mackay and Clinton. because the
money does not come out Of their pock-
cts, and the taxpayer has more money
than he knows what to do with. Any
reasonable man would be glad to give
$4,000 of other peoples money for so
noble cause.
Then up rises the American" news
paper and objects to the donation. and
right there comes in the humor of the
situation The city, being an "Ameri-
can" institution. pays the party organ
of the administration about two prices
for all of It's legal notices. The tax
payer. of course, foots the bills and the
velvet from the publication comes in
right handy for the newspaper on pay
day. however much il may embarrass
the property owner to pay extra prices
for notices of his sidewalk improvement
or street paving or sewer extension or
other public improvements
If ever the pot was caught making
faces at the kettle for being inky black,
these two newspapers have furnished
the parallel. There is no more reason
why public printing should pay fancy
prices to party organs than that the
city or county should buy Christmas
gifts out of public funds for newspaper
publishers. The job of publishing city
and county and state matter should be
let to the lowest responsible bidder for
a year ats time in open competition
1t would save the taxpayers many
thousands of dollars annually. and it
would pern4it the party newspapers to
tell the truth about their city and
county officials without fear of losing
revenue from the public printing pap
