When man will talk by the hour for the Millill. and then deny the principles of it, vrhieh ail free trader in this and nd other countries sustain it. it •:.ake me tired. Here comes an Ameriin shoemaker v.'ho says to the Congres--:onal candidate "Mi lirookhire, I .nderstaud you are in favor of buying our shoe winM'e you can buv them heapest." "Oh. yes."

"Why, just t«» keep sou poor American shoemakers." The next man a spinner of yarn or a weaver of cloth, .i:d he say.-.: "Mr. Hrookshiie. yr»u say A-e ought to be permitted to buy our •oth wherever we want to and whrrcvei re rati get them cheapen*. Vou cai ••uy your clothing cheaper in Kngland where lal»or i- rwi a low as here."

Oh, yes," says Mr. lirookshire. "Won't v»u tell me,' ,-ay.s the American lot h)an. "why you want, to buy your clothing in Knglandr" "Oh. ye. it is to help vou poor Amciivan clothiers," says Mr. iirookshire. And here i.,ome-» a man with swarthy ijrow and iiorny ham!, an .roil worker, who says 1 understand. Mr. HrookMhire, you want to buy your -hovels.and your hoes and all your imnvare in Kngiand. where vou get them •heap." "Oil, ves," says Mr. Hrookshire, "but it is all lor the h. n»-lit ot vou poor Ameriean iron workers." Hut I must •lot forget tin- inconsistency of the Mills .ill, which is my purpose. All supporters of this bill take tin* position •hat a duty levied on an imported article .neivases the price to the amount of the iutv, not, only only on the imported irtiele. but on all like domestic articles.

Now. 1 call attention to that section of :he bill which disposes* oi the iron and -steel, cotton ties or hoop for bailing purposes, etc.. and Mich aic declared indej tlie provisions of this bill to be ulniitted free of dutv. while hoop iron if ised jor anv other purpo.-e is made iutiable 10'. cents a pound. Now. of all hc indefensiliie and incom-istent features of this bill there are none in my judgment, so indefensible as this one. in the m?e list generally, that which is •nade free is made free to everybody and 'or every purpose. Salt is made free. It. is not free simply to the Northern people, but is free to Hie Southern people as well. Lumber is made free, and it is free alikuto every citizen and to overv section of the country. It is made free to all our people. Hut when vott come to hoop iron, then the freedom is limited and it is limited to certain purposes, or producers and sections of the rnited States. Now, if I was a Democrat: if I was a revenue tariff reformer: if I was a 1'roe trader, and I proposed to have hoop iron made free for my purposes. 1 would make it free for all purposes I would make it free to the balers of hay, and I would make it free for every other purpose, and in every other industry to which it can be applied, and not free only for those that, raise cotton. Fs cotton King again? Here comes a poor washerwoman. who wants her tub hooped. Will some revenue tariff reformer explain why this poor woman shall pay 10J cents per pound for the hoops on her tub, while the man that raises cotton gets his hoop iron free. While hoop iron used for baling cotton is made free, all tho hoop iron on meat tubs, lard tubs, butter tubs, horse buckets, etc., is

Now, the other mystery to me is the se -tion relating to tin plate and sheet iron. How «ran free Iradcror revenue taiilY relonuer

imposes a duty of 1 cents per pound, and iui Die best giades 1:,: cents per pound, on sheet iion imported into this country, white the sane iron i! coated o\ci with a thin \wtsh of tin. amounting !o onlv fjom :i or I per cent of tin, may be imported tree of any duty whatever. I would like to knov. upon what piincjpie of right and justice a I rcc 11 ader can defend liii^. would like to know why it is that the poor mar who uses a cooking stove and wants a cheap stovepipe, or wants a cheap coal hod lira cheap bread pan. muM be retailed to pay a dutv of (cuts per pound on e\ei pound of black sheet iron that is used in the nianfactuie ol what he needs? Why must, the poor in pay this tax. while the rich corporation, the Standard Oil Trust, gets its tin free:' Why is any man who uses sheet iron for any of the put poses toi which it is required, in his kilckeii. in Ids house, or for any other purpo.se, rooting oi siding, required to pay this ta.\. while the man who uses tin for similar purposes gets it tree?

Tiiis another one of the inconsistencies 1 cannot comprehend. Upon the Democratic theory that a duty a tax. not. only upon the imported article, but upon on like domestic articles and this is the burden of all Mr. Thurman's speeches. Is not the Mills bill framed upon making the rich richer and tic poor poorer.

with th'- products of underpaid labor abroad as well as against (becoming to nur shores of pauper-, laborers under contract, and the Chine-e." The Chineseqii»*siion i- aibstantially settled long ago so jar as this countrv concorned, and it is novy settled satisfactorily to 1 h,x Chinese government. To dig it up now and to hold candidates responsible lor any position they have taken in the pa*,t is as absurd as it would be to revive the old slavery iue

Ceii. ItarrCou's attitude towards ibis quedio is \ve!| enough Understood and is thoroughly houe-t and consistent. In the original consideration of the matter of restriction during bis form of service in the senate the record will be searched in vain tor any evidence that he publicly defended hinese ininiigi'ution or favored the 'competition of cheap Chinese labor with -American labor. His voice was silent, bui his vote wer- given in cruiforinitv whir what lie believed was our national duty under the obligation/ of the then existing Jrcal\. and in company with numvrou.s others in both parties. 1 le bc'ioved. as th'.-y believe the pending' mea-nre. wliich was all right as an abstract principle and which was for the ultimate good of labor and benetit of the country, could not be enacted without involving the national houerdv ,u I violating treaty obligations with the Chinese government. When, however, he found thai1 the treaty was systema1i- allv iwaded on the Chiuce side he favored restriction, lb* was forci»d into hi.* former position by a sense of honor. When that obligation was no longer binding he at once tavored the policy in which he believed. The restriction hiil which has in^t pa^-ed. and which give* itality to the new treaty, has had no more /.ealoii- supporter than Con. Ilairi on. '1'he ict that his most anient defenders against this demagogical attack by the Democratic members were the member* from the Hacitic .slope shows that his record is satisfactory, and that those who have slltl'ered the most from Chine-." immigration, and who are the he-t qualified to judge, are the most contented with his position. If tinware satislied no one else has the right to complain. The attack of the Democratic members not only mean, contempt ible, and absurd, but it as an absolute falsification of his position, lb- not in favor of 'hinoe immigration and never has been, but like many other good men. both Republicans and Democrats, he was oppoed inanv years ago t" anv legivla tion which woii.lo nnpugi credit and honor. --.lucag

of wool growers in tho United States at about 700,000, and fully 500,000 men are employed by them to assist in caring for their flocks and doing other farm labor. A majority of these Hock masters, as well as their employed help, are heads of families therefore, if yon add to their number their wives, children and other dependents, you will have a population of at least LoUO.OOO persons more or less interested in the growing of wool or about ono-tifteenUi of the entire population of thel'niled States. There are no doubt, fully lob.bbo other farmers who keep a small number of sheep, but. these could not be fairly classed as grower* of wool.

The number of slice}) in the Hinted States is now estimated at oO^OUO.DOO head, ar.d the crop of wool at about 5V30, 000,000 pounds, worth on the average of last year's prices about twenty-two cents, making the total value of the wool crop of the country $77,000,000.

If you remove the duty from wool and so make the growing of it an unprofitable business, It would rentier almost valueless tho portions of these farms devoted to slioep raising, and tkereby would decrease the average price of the whole .farm at least $2.50 ah acre, making a loss Trom this source alone of $2SO,0UU,O00.

Sheep would also decrease in value fully 50 cents per head, making another shrink* age of $25,000,000,

T. A. Heynolds. a Cliicago DenKM-rat, found himself a few days ago on a train s. in Kansas with an Englishman, and soon let the Hriton know that he was a Democrat. The Englishman announced himself as the agent of asyndieateof wealthy English capitalists. The Chicago Democrat asked him his business in Kans is. and the conversation that followed we clip from an exchange: replied the Englishman, "w bold mortgage* on pretty nearly everything in sight, don't you know."

Here he gave eomprehensi\e sweej of bis arm in the direction of the surrounding horizon, and continued with the air of the landed proprietor: 'We're watching things closely just at present, for if Hie Democrats carry the election all of these mortgaged lands will conic inio our hands. With Clove-

Hy this time Reynolds was hot and announeed that he wouldn't vote for any party that bad that sort of friends. Thenceforth he was for Harrison and protection. During the awkward pause that followed, a dark-eyed languid brunette on the other side of the car, remarked that she was a southerner by birth and education and a Democrat lorn and bred, but if that was the programme she guessed she'd see what she could do in the way of getting somebody to follow the Chicagoan's example. If. she keeps her word Harrison is sure of one vote at least in the "solid south."

The nolo given for English capital, and the mortgages on farms to secure such borrowed money, will not be re-| duced by the southern Democratic Mills' hill and the free 'trade poli'-y of .Mr.

Cleveland. Nor will the rate of interest be lowered, but the lowering of prices of labor and of i'arm products will put it out of the power of many farm owners! and mechanics, who are indebted- for' itheirlniu.es in the cities and smaller

The reports of the United States bureau of statistics completely refute the claim of Premier Mills that (his-country cannot produce the wool required for its manufactures, or manufacture tho woolen goods needed for its people.

They also demonstrate beyond question the powerful influence of our protective policy on tlio development of our wool and woolen industries, and they indicata clearly tho disasters which would follow tho overthrow of this policy.—"Washington Best.
