FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1896.

EDISON has succeeded in sending the new light rays through a 3-inch plankg Perhaps after a while he may get them to penetrate and interpret the abysmal darkness of the Argus News' editorial page.

KENTUCKY is likely to have but one United States Senator during the next two years. On joint ballot neither the Democrats or the Republicans have a majority. The balance is held down by two Populists. Even had either of the leading parties a majority an election would 66em to be impossible, as neither can unite their forces.

•REPUBLICANS will carry Indiana this year without doubt, but it will be done because the conditions are such that the tide which has set in in this direction cannot be stayed. Notwithstanding the blunderings of the head of the Republican State Central Committee the people have set the seal of condemnation on the Democratic party in Indiana. The mistakes of Republicans will not save the Democrats from their own iniquities

A COMMITTEE appointed by the last New York Legislature to look into the subject of good roads has made a valuable report, filling 117 pages of printed matter. The average cost of taking produce to market in New York at present is $1.56 per ton for each six miles, the average haul,or 26 cents per mile. The estimate per ton per mile on a good macadam road is 7 cents, and if all the roads of the State were of this description the annual saving in the haul,'without regard to wear and tear, would be about $16,000,000. As matters stand, the farmers pay an annual road assessment of $3,000,000. It is the opinion of the committee that the State should at once begin the work of road improvement, by agreeing to pay one-third of the cost, and the counties to pay the other two-thirds.

MR. DARTER OX WOOL.

THE JOURNAL publishes, in another column, a communication from John J. Darter, in which he attempts to enlighten the people on the subject of the tariff on wool. Mr. Darter's argument is based entirely upon assumptions and delusions. He goes along in utter oblivion of facts. He insists that a tariff of eleven cents a pound on wool increases the price of wool to the manufacturer, to the extent of eleven cents a pound, and that then the manufacturer adds this eleven cents a pound to the price of his cloth, and that, finally, the poor consumer of the goods must bear all the burden. So intelligent a man as Mr. Darter must know that all this is mere fiction.

From 1881 to 1891, while the tariff was .10 and 11 cents per pound, the average difference in the price of the same

quality of wool in this country and. London was only small fraction over two cents per pound. In 1891, when the duty on washed wool was 22 cents .per pound, there was only a difference of three and one-tenth cents per pound between the price of wool of a good grade—the one most used in this country and in England. But such palpable facts as these are cast aside by all free-traders, and mere fictions substituted as tho foundation of their arguments. How many instances can Mr. Darter cite, where a tariff on anything increased the price thereof, to the extent of the tariff imposed? We very much doubt that he can cite a single one. Nor has the other assumption of Mr. Darter, that the price of raw material, as he names it, or rather misnames it, regulates the price of manufacturers, the semblance of foundation to stand on. Beef cattle go up and down many times during the year, yet who ever knew a butcher to change the price of his beef every time there was a change in the price of cattle? When cattle go down it is good luck to him when they go up, his net profits are so much less.

As a general thing the manufacturing nation which can procure its raw material at home, has an advantage over the one that has to procure it from abroad, and, in the end, will be always better able to compete in the markets of the world. The late Dan Yount, of this county, who, all his life followed the business of manufacturing woolen goods, many times said that his average yearly profits were uniformly best when he could rely on the home market for his supplies of wool that the prices of foreign supplies were fluctatingand uncertain,and that he could never regulate his business with any satisfaction when he could not purchase his raw.material at home. This is the experience of a practical and very intelligent manufacturer of our own county,and it is worth a whole book full of theorizing. But, after all, the great benefits that arise from producing our wool, are that it gives employment to vast numbers of people who would otherwise be idle it enables farmers to increase the income from their lands, and gives life and activity to business at home. The farmer who has wool to sell will buy more from the grocery and the store than the one who has none, and the laborers engaged in sheep husbandry will be enabled to live in better style than he would if out of regular employment. Every nation should provide something for its idle people to do, even if such a policy is branded with the awful appellation of "paternalism." The lessons of the last three years have enlightened most people on this subject, and if Cleveland and the free trade Democracy could run the government another term, we should have some hope of seeing Mr. Darter with his eyes opened by the end of that period.

At Unalc Hall Mar, 10.

Handsome, manly, talented Charles A. Gardner, known as "Karl,the Sweet Singer," the peer of all German comedians, will appear here next Tuesday night, March 10, in "Fatherland." The play portrays the life of a Tyro lese guide in the picturesque Alps, developing an interesting story of love and devotion, devoid of the modern melodramatic clap-trap, but abounding in intense heart interest. She scenes are laid in the Austrian Tyrol and are reproductions of photographic -views of this picturesque country. The nat uralness of the action of the piece is considerably heightened by the intro duction of a troupe of Tyrolean singers and dancerB. Mr. Gardner will also render his famous songs "The Turner's Triumph," "A Butterfly Song," "The German Swell," "Gesundheit," "Wedding Bells," and that sweetest of modern ditties, "Apple Blossoms," which destined to become as popular as his far famed song, "Lilacs." The supporting company is one of exceptional strength.
