LOW PRICE OF WOOL AND THE CAUSE.

If there is anything amusing in regard to the low price of wool it is the Democratic editorials trying to explain the reason of it. The Star of this city prints the following from the Greenastle Star-Press:

The lesson or the protective tariff as evidenced in the wool market should not be lost. The price of wool lias steadily and slowly declined since this paternal protective tax thereon was levied. In 1891 it was falling oil in price and in 1892 the price was still lower.

The McKinley law £was and is still in

force. What further proof is needed of the fallacy of tLe protective system as it relates to the products of the farm? Just as well admit the truth, it unjustly taxes the consumer.

Knowing the respect and fellow-feel-ing that is due one paper from another, we are still constrained to say that there is about as much sense in the above editorial as there is in the chirp of a young robbin.

From speeches and editorials by the leaders of the Democratic party we doubt very much that there is a person on earth who can tell what their position is on the wool tariff. Gan there, at the present day, be anything in print more ridiculous than a Democratic editorial complaining because the tariff has made something cheap? No two of them agree as to what shall be done with the tariff on wool. And no one of them can start out to write an editorial on the subject without changing his theory twice before he gets it done. The above writer in speaking of the low price of wool says: "No further proof is needed of the fallacy of the protective system." Is it a false system because it makes low prices? With Democracy it has always been a false system because it made high prices. For ten years cheap wool has been the idol of the Democratic party. They have clamored for it in Congress. And in their long winded speeches on the stump they have all claimed that the tariff on wool was a "tax" on the poor man's clothes and blanket. Now since the price of wool has gone down they kick clear out of the traces and blame the tariff for making things too cheap. The above editorial 6tarts out with the idea that the wool tariff has caused the decline in the price of wool and ends up with the idea that it "unjustly taxes the consumer." Many will be at a loss to know how cheap wool taxes a consumer of it. But they will not be at any more of a loss than the whole country has been for years as to how the Democratic party stands on the wool question.

THE indictment of Colonel Ainsworth and the other men held responsible by the coroner's jury for the loss of many lives in the Ford's Theatre disaster is the result of a careful and prolonged examination by the grand jury of the District of Columbia, and will insure that judicial inquiry into the case which IB demanded both by justice and humanity. The four are charged with manslaughter, and will each be held in $10,000 bail. Whether Colonel Ainsworth, pending his trial, will be permitted to retain his office as head of the Record and Pension Bureau is an interesting question. It is a matter wholly within the discretion of the President and the Secretary of War.

THE Indianapolis Sentinel't Bays that when the croaker lifts his voide choke him. It is getting tired of th6 complaints of Democratic hard times, and finds no other way to stop the croaking but to choke those who utter them. The factory hands who have been deprived of employment aB well as their daily bread are already choked with indignation at the men who) induced them to vote for Cleveland and free trade.

"CONGRESS," once observed Andrew Jackson, "is a curious collection." The stalwart old Protectionist would emphaBize "curious" with one of his favorite expletives if he were alive just now.

A DEMOCRATIC organ says that "whatsoever iB not Democratic iB dangerous." And it may truthfully be added that whatever is Democratic iB not only dangerous but deadly.

THE Bails of the old Democratic ship are not just now as full of wind aB they might be. In other wordajthey are not OB well bellied ae the man [in command

FINANij

It every man who d^^^^^^^Knces could only realize that^^^^^Kis full of difficulties, and that^^^^Kest may err in dealing with it in fl^gress, there would be mere hope of some sensible solution of the questions growing out of the present crisis. If each man would look into his own heart and see how far he is prompted in his course by pure selfishness, and how far by a desire for the public welfare, he would be a safer counsellor in the matter. In great commercial crises, the purely selfish man tries only to save himself, not caring what may become of others, while the wise and benevolent man will try to save himself and [all others. We all admire the heroism of the one who remains in the imperiled ship and tries to save himself and all on board, while we detest the man who jumps overboard with a life preserver and struggles only to save himself, not oaring whether the ship stays up or down after he is out of it. In dealing with the great crisis which we have met, Congress should remember that the interests of all concerned should be consulted, and no policy adopted that will tend to ruin thousands of our people. There is a wide difference of opinion between the Eastern and the Western people on the subject of free coinage. The Eastern people think they would be injured by free coinage. The West and South |_think they would be equally injured by adopting the single gold standard. Perhaps both are correct, and the situation suggests some middle course as the fairest thing that can be done under the circumstances. Each party calling the other names,tiow socommon a method of discussing the subject, will not serve any good purpose. It throws no light on the question, but arouses passion whsre care, judgment and calm deliberation are necessary.

INDIA'S ACTION AND THE SHERMAN LAW.

Horace White, the eminent financial authority, who joins with Edward O. Leech, formerly Director of the Mint, in discussing the financial situation in the August Forum, gives cold comfort to the bimetallists. Mr. White shows that while the closing of the Indian mints to silver has really acted beneficially, instead of harmfully, as was predicted, the present scarcity of money in America is unrelieved by the surplus of Europe solely on account of thesilyer scare. For the first time within his recollection, he declares the offer of high rates of interest in America has not attracted foreign capital and he regards the repeal of the Sherman law as the only effective remedy for this abnormal condition.

Wo OLD that Artemas Ward were alive to take charge of the great animal show, "so called," that is to open in Washington on the 7th of August, for the amusement of 65,000,000 of fun-loving people. G. C. will no doubt try to keep the free trade lion still, or at least have his roaring performed in a subdued key. But he may be expected, now and then, to wag the bunch on the end of his tail, and to show his teeth half way up to the gums. It will be in his heart to break out of the oage and swallow up a dozen or twenty New England woolen factories, and a few Indiana glass factories. But if G. C. gets a good hold on the end'of the animal's tail, where the hair is light, he will have an admirable "tail-holt" and his ponderous arms may prevent all threatened depredations.

On every side there will be perched up the free trade parrot with his wise look, repeating all the saws that idle boys have taught him from his infancy/ A11 who go near enough will be sure to hear him Bay "the tariff iB a tax," for this he has repeated until It now slips out of his mouth as naturally as greased lightning slips out of a thunder cloud "Monopoly! Monopoly! he will reiterate just as a bullfrog in a slough at nightsail, sings that peculiar and delightful song known as "The] Melody of the SwampB." And monkeys will be there in profusion. They will caper about and try to attract the attention of bystanders by looking sober and scratching themselves whenever they feel an itching sensation. But they will say nothing. A monkey never talks, and when he acts he does just what he has been taught to do. Altogether the show promises to be interesting, and it will positively open on the 7th of August, rain or shine. The clown will be out to jump into the ring pretty soon after the doors are opened.

COLORADO is indeed paying dearly for the foolish utterances of her Governor. It is evident that the Bober-minded among her citizens realize what a mis take was made in putting such a man in the executive office. One of them says that this was Colorado's first offense and it will undoubtedly be her last. Unquestionably he voices the sagacious second thought of right-think-ing people throughout the State.

MILLS SHUT DOWN.

PHILADETPHIA, July 26.—The extensive woolen mills of Sochard Bros.,which have been giving employment to about 250 hands, have shut down indefinitely owing to the depression in trade.

LEWISTON, Me., July 26.—Notice has been pasted in the Bates mill stating that the mill will shut down August 5 for five weeks. The mill employs 1,800 people with a monthly pay roll of $120,000.

NEW YORK, July 26.—It was annouced to-day in Yonkers that Alexander Smith & Sons' big carpet mill at that place would shut down to-night, throwing 5,000 hands out of employment. The mills turn out miles of carpet a day. The company shut down in 1873 on account of trade being dull.

The foregoing dispatches all appeared in the Indianapolis Sentinel of yesterday. The employes of these mills were told by Democrats that the mill owners for whom they were working were making princely fortunes off their labor and were thuB induced to vote for Grover Cleveland and free trade. The mere threat of free trade has now closed these mills, thrown thousands of men out of employment and inflicted irreparable injury on the mill owners. And who has been, or will be benefited by the stopping of our mills? None but the foreign manufacturers. The people must have goods, and whenever a factory in this country stops it opens one in ^ome foreign country and this is the reason we find foreign nations clamorous for free trade. The employes of mills and factories in this country are finding out. through the hard school of experience that the policy which takes labor away from them and gives it to foreign workmen is not exactly so pleasant a panacea for all their ills as "silver tongued" orators represented it during the last canvass. The fact that they are getting cheaper wheat does no good when they have no employment and no money.

THE Review of this city says: "Tippecanoe count/ is indirectly responsible for the Roby iniquity. It sent McHugh to the Legislature and he secured 6he passage of the law which permits such brutal institutions as prize fighting and winter horse racing." To this the Lafayette Call dissents. It says in reply: "Tippecanone county did nothing of the kind. We plead not guiilty. Tippecanoe county sent Job Osborn to the Legislature. It was the Democratic Legislature that put McHugh in his seat, contrary to the vote of the people cf Tippecanoe county—did it, simply bfcause Mr. Osborn was a Republican, and they wanted to strengthen their party majority by putting a Demoorat in his place."

HOKE SMITH was huDg in effigy by the enraged citizens of Rome, Adams county, Ohio, on Saturday night. The immediate cause of this action was the dropping from the pension rolls of a veteran aged eighty-three years, a soldier who had served four years and five months in the 11th Illinois Cavalry. On receipt of the news of his suspension the old man became a raving maniac. But the pension rolls must be purged.

Ox THE 7th day of August, 1893, the Democratic menagerie will open in Washington. Grover Cleveland, the great lion tamer, will be in the cage with his whip, and all refractory animals will be soon subdued and not even allowed to show their teeth. They will be thrown such meat as he may choose to give them and told to eat it or let their "t?helps go without the snug places at his disposal.

THE Philadelphia Press says that during the last fourteen weeks the sales of wool in Philadelphia, Boston and New York have been 30,429,174 pounds less than during the corresponding time last year, and this notwithstanding a marked decline in prices. This is the shadow of free trade. Manufacturers are afraid to buy, even at much lower prices, and mills are dosing up every day.

IF & national election could be held next Tuesday the Republican party would sweep the country. What a blow free trade would get. Business would start up and confidence would be restored. Idle factories would be set in motion and the promise would be bright for the future.

THE soil of Montgomery county has again been polluted and disgraced by a prize fight. Be it Baid to our credit, neither contestants nor spectators were home talent. The wicked city of Lafayette furnished both. Bat where was the Sheriff of Montgomery county?

WANTED—That banner the Democrats oarried around in their procession last fall promising $1.25 per bushel for wheat in case Grover Cleveland was elected President. It is supposed to be stored away somewhere with G. W. L, Brown's tin hat.

AMERICAN industries were splendidly prosperous under Republican rule. They are being paralyzed on every hand by the threat of Democratic free trade.

SILVER AND THE TARIFF. THE JOUBNAIJ to-day prints a com­

munication from Charles F. Spilman, dated at Eureka, Utah, on the silver question. No doubt he gives correct statistics as to the amount of silver produced in the six States and territories named and the number of people dependent on mining as a means of livelihood. The only misstatement made in the communication is in regard to the position of THE JOURNAL. The "attitude" of this paper haB not been in favor of the repeal of the Sherman law as a cure-all for the evils brought upon the country by a Democratic Administration. Indeed it has said time and again that in its opinion the Sherman law has had but very little to do with the present deplorable condition of affairs, either in the East or in the West. The present financial and industrial depression arises from other causes, chief among which is the uncertainty as to what the Democratic party intends to do with the tariff. The repeal of the Sherman law will have but little affect on the business interests of the country. Westerners may be deluded with the idea that to repeal it means ruin, but they will learn in due course of time that whether the law stands or whether it is repealed the result will be the same to them. Conservative men in the Middle States have no sympathy with the silver bugs of the West or the gold bugs of the East. They are not in favor of a single silver standard nor a single gold standard, but they believe in bimetalism and maintaining the parity of the two metals. Free silver coinage would drive out the gold and give the country a single silver standard. This the country will resist. The $750,000 paid to labor per day in the silver mining States is but a drop in the ooean of labor throughout the United States. What the labor of the country demands is that the policy which has given employment to idle hands shall be continued and that the wages they receive shall be in money as good as any other money whether that money be gold, silver or paper. Ana there is nothing the matter with any of our money. It is all gcod and there is plenty of it. The whole trouble is in the threat that hangs over the country to smash our great factories and workshops by un friendly legislation.

SAYS the New York Recorder-. The workingmen were told last summer and fall that the inevitable result of the success of the Democratic party would be a reduction of wages. They laughed at the prediction, and declared their unions would keep their compensation up to the old standard. How is it now? The McKinley law, it is true, is still in force, but the apprehension of its appeal has alarmed manufacturers in nearly every branch of business, and the gloomy prospect is that the workingmen will have to accept the alternative of lower wages or absolute idleness.

COMPTROLLER ECKELS is the most roseate minded politician now in sight./ With the announcement of eaoh bank failure he gives it out that the situation is growing better. Amidst all this wreck the country is assured that he is "cheerful." He should be placed on exhibition among the living curiosities on Midway Plaisance.

THE South Sea Islander beating on a log with a club, which they call music, display about as much intelligence as the actors in the Sunday opening of the World's Fair farce. Including courts, attorneys, commissioners and all in any way connected with the battledore and shuttlecock game they have writ themselves iown as asses.

SENATOR YOORHEES wants to prepare people for the worst. He says, "Congress will likely be in continuous session for a year."

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucuous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucuous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally,and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials free. E^~Sold by druggists, price 75c, per bottle.

Watching the Hour-glasa. As a miser counts his gold, night and day. So I count the minutes told in the glass: My eve is aim, my hair is thin and gray.

And I know I am growing old as they pass. When we approach "the sere and yellow leaf" of our days, we are prone to look back regretfully. A clear conscience and sound health will lighten our gloomy reflections Health is the greatest blessing, Dr.Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery the greatest medicine. It arrests the process of lung and scrofulous diseases, and cures consumption, or lung scrofula, if taken in time. It is the king of liver invigorators and blood purifiers, and a powerful tonic, building up the debilitated patient to perfect health. Contains no alcohol.

Is the best remedy for all complaints peculiar to women.

His Personal Experience. Hon. James W. Husted, while serving his sixth term as Speaker of the Assembly of the State of New York, writes: "State of New York,Assembly Chamber,

Albany, Jan. 16, 1890.

I desire once more to bear my testimony to the value of Allcock's Porous Plasters. I have used them for twenty-five years past, and can conscientiously commend them them as the best external remedy that I know. Years ago, when thrown from a carriage and seriously injured, I gave them a thorough trial. In a very short time the pain that I was suffering disappeared, and within a week I was entirely relieved. On another occasion, when suffering from a severe cough whicb threatened pulmonary difficulties which I was recommended to go to Florida to relieve, I determined to test the plasters again. I applied them to my chest and between the shoulder blades, and in less than a fortnight was entirely cured. On still another occasion when suffering from an attack of rheumatism in the should er to such an extent that I could scarcely raise my arm, I again resorted to the plasters and within a very few days the rheum atism entirely disappeared. I have them constantly by me, whether at home or abroad. My family as well as myself have found them to be a sovereign remedy, both for external and internal troubles. I never had but one kidney difficulty in my life and the application of the plasters cured me a week. I desire, as I said before, to bear my testimony in a public way to their efficacy, and I know of no better way of doing it than by giving my personal experience.'"
