THF. statements of the apportionment of tin? school fund shows large increase in the school revenue and the per capita distribution this year over last. The total school revenue this year is SI,310,277.liS. against l,tW:i. I'JT.iKJ in 189 1 and the distribution per capita, tln? veinis $1.67. against §1.32 Inst year. llie increase of S:KHS,77i».35 in the school revenue is due to the fact, that, notwithstanding the largo increase in the assessment of property, the school levy was left at 10 cents on the S100.

I'liKi: trade was always and is now eonspiraev against labor. Under a protense of gelling cheaper food for the people Miehard Cnbden clamored for the repeal of England's corn laws, lie wns a manufacturer, and Lis roai purpose was to secure cheaper food for labor so that manufacturers could get the profit of cheaper labor, regardless of the interests of farmers ami farm laborers of his own Country, The colt lords of the South, in this country, joined him in this conspiracy, the latter agreeing that, the fanners of the "North would furnish the cheap food in exchange for high priced English manufactures, while the slave lords and the iiritish manufacturing lords gained all the wealth. Our history shows that this bargain was imposed upon this country under the rule of the slave lords, and that it kept the Xoi th comparatively poor while the slave rule lasted. The free trade sue cessors of the slave rule are asking us lo return to the conditions of this wan conspiracy against labor. Not much.

THE TARirr AND WOOL,

J'rookshiru's S^-wcb Torn to Shreds by a Walnut Township Parmer. To lie- Kihuir The Journal. .•'

III a recent issue of I'M: JOPKXAL yo:i show the absurdity and in 'onsist .• ency 'if Mr. l'rooksh ire's speech on the free wool bill. His opinion is nothing but tie oid olaj) trap phrase of all free traders, '-buy where you can buy cheapest ami sell where you can get the highest prices." Viewing it from farmer standpoint it is one of the greatest cheats that could be coined by a fret trade demagogue. A farmer must never

IOHJ sight of l.'0'.li propo: itions, for the general average of the two tolls where the profit is and which doctrine is right in theory and practice depends on both selling and buying. Wo artwilling to buy §100 worth of goodh in a 10 per cent, higher market under proteet on, if by so do ng wo can sell 8-100 worth of farm products in a like 10 per cent, market. The farmer is both buyer and seller, and his larger interest is tj^at of a seller, lie cannot afford to buy in a 10 |er cent, lower market under free trade if he must sell in the same 10 per cent lower market all he has to sell. No farmer will agree with the merchant that what he buys at the store or of the .'seller, shall bo 10 per cent, leas, if at the same time jind in the same bargain he has to agree that all ho sells to the merchant, or buyer shall also suffer big ruination in other words his selling interest is the greatest by the measure of his year's prolitsor Bavings. The tielight of the free trader is to convince tho farmer that under free trade he can buy goods cheajer than he does under '.protection, and he fondly imagines he has won the day if he can establish this fact. Has ho won? Not at all. He has won only one-half his case. JIo must now prove that the farmer can sell his produce for a same or a greater price than tinder protection. If any farmer thinks this can bo done would rofer him to Colton's Life of Clay and .Jackson's letter to J)r. Column.

JIo can prot'e neither jirojxwi-

tion. It can be seen that under protection tho farmer buys his goods in the cheapest market in the world and sells •at higher rates than he could under free trade. What he has to sell he sells without let or hindrance to all the world, to whomsoever will pay him the best price 1 aving also at his command the b'-sl home market of any nation in the world. If this is not so why is all Europe in profound sympathy with the free trade Democracy in breaking down the American tariff With the free trade Democrat the dreim of life is cheapness. He says we ouyht to have cheap clothing without regard to tho method by which the cheapness is affected. If we are to keep the wool grower, tho wool spinner, and the cotton weaver in squalor in order that we may have ele ap clothes, if we are to keep the shoemaker on the edgo of starvation in order that we may have cheap clothes, every man in the community will find in cheapness a two edged blade, one edge cutting the man from whom he buys, the other cutting himself. All industries being dependent, tho prosperity of one depends on tho prosperity of each. One cheap man begets another. If tiie hatter must have cheap shoes the phiemnL or'must have cheap hats. If both must have cheap clothes there must be cheap farmers to raise the wool, cheap spinners to spin it, cheap weavers to weave it, cheap sewing wotnon and cheap tailors, to make it into clothing.

All these workers must have cheap toolB and cheap shelter, there is no stopping place, it runs throughout the entire body of labor. Whoever buys cheap must sell cheap. This rule is inexorable. It has but one exception. The man who has a monopoly of product he may sell dear and buy cheap, if monopoly is impossible, then cheapness ou the one side will involve cheapness ou the other. Clienjmcss in buying will involve cheapness in selling. The Protectionist says: The true cheapening of an article takes place when its production demands less sacrifice from hira who produces it, not when its purchase demands less sacrilice from him who purchases it. The guage of cheapness is the sacrifice incurred by the producor not that inclined by the consumer. There is no producer who is not also a consumer, there are consumers who are not producers. Let mo go back to Mr. Brookshire sgain. He voted to place wool on the free list. What was this for? On page 2-1 of the Springer re port I find this: "The reduction of the luties herein proposed would cheapen the price of cloth to the consumer. How can the placing of wool on the free list cheapen the price of cloth unless it reduces the prices of wool. Why, it must lie evident to every one that unless the abolition of the duty on wool reduces the price of wool, the wool cost if manufacturing woolen goods can not be reduced. Turn again to the report. On page '22 they say: "In fact the production afforded iu this bill to American manufacturers,"—only think of it. A Democratic majority of a Ways and Means Committee talking of the protection that they are going to give the manufacturer in this bill what of this protection?—"will amount in all cases to more than the increased cost of production in this country as compared with thecost of production of like articles in Europe." Does not that sound like a Kepnblienn platform? It is the protection doctrine. It is doctrine of restricting importation of' foreign made articles which wo can produce here, by a protective duty, in order that such articles may be producod or made here rather than abroad. What just, reason, 1 ask. is there for placing the farmer's wool—tho completed produce of the farm—on the free list, and leaving a duty averaging 39 per cent, on woolen goods? Wool is free when it, comes from the sheep but duty's wool when put on you. I can not help saying, O, what a consummate humbugDemoeracv m. .' JOHN Si'oim.

U-ii-iu-r the Winter of Issf.*-2, I was suffering from a severe attatiK of bronchitis, which seemed threaten pneumonia. I met, at the Hotel Mar(|uaidt, Commander Iteanlslee. of the United States Nav.v. In speaking of my sickness, he said: 'Docor, .vou can cure that chest trouble of yours by using an AlIcock's Porous Plaster' 'That may bo true' I answered, 'but where can I get the plaster

'Anywhere in the civilized world, anil surely here in Stuttcurt. Whenever I have a colli, 1 always use one and find relief.' 1 sent to the driiR store for the plaster and it did cvorylhins:' that my friend had promised. I'.ver since then I have used it whenever sufTerintf Ji oin a cold, and I have prescribed it for patients. "The AUcock's Piaster is the best to be had. and has saved many from severe ill ness and undoubtedly, if used promptly will save mu'ny valuable lives. Whenever one has a severe cold they should pul on an AUcock's Plaster as soon as possible. It should be placed across the chest the upper margin just below the neck: some hot beef tea will aid the treatment." "This is not« patent remedy in the objectionable sense or that term, but a standard preparation of value. The iovernment supplies for the U. S. Army and Indian Hospital Stores contain Allcock's masters and the medical profession throughout the world are well aware of their reliability and e.xcelleuce. 1 shall always recommend it, nol only to break up colds but as a useful in allaying pains in the chest anil in the back. It is a nrcparaUbn worthy of general confidence,

RUINED BY THE CORNER.

CoBtnr & Martin, of Chicago, Are Unable to Carry Through tlic Deal In May Corn —They Fall, and Corn Drops Fifty Cfnti linnhel In Thirty Minute*.

CnicAoo. June 1.—The great corner In May corn reached Its culmination and collapsed Tuesday morning. In the collapse the firm of Coster Jt Martin, which has engineered the movement, was pulled down, and corn, which opened at $1, dropped without an Intermediate quotation to CO, to 50 and thon to 49 cents a bushel. When the announcement of the failure was made on tho board of trade a ho ivl went up from the floor and for a few minutes tho exoiteroent in the pit was at fever heat. Brokers fell over each other In their haste to close out their deals, and for five or ten minutes a scene of bedlam ensued. The other pits were also affected and a pmic appeared imminent, but finally the market regained Its level, and the great corner in May was a thing of the past. Estimates of the liabilities oJ Coster & Martin are, conflicting and range from S"-50,000 to 81,000,000.
