In the saddLe agai^. The Bald-Knobbcrs of Southwest Missouri Once Mote Id the Field—The Forsyth Tragedy the Initial More of the New Campaign—The Williang Inquest ProgfegSliig Tery Uilsotlifactdrllyi the Witnesses Not Caring or Oaring to Testify. Ozark, Mo., March 31. — Reports come from Taney county that the old Bald Knob feud has again broken out. It is claimed by men who know that every man in the mob at Forsyth was a Bald-Iinobber or had been duriugf Capt. Nat Kinney’s reign in Taney county sonie years ago, and the' Sande old feeling seems to exists in some of the people in Taney county at the present time. John Bright opposed the Bald Knob organization. James Williams was also an anti-Bald-Knobber, and during the Bald Knob reign in Taney ftnd Christian counties in the years 1887 and 1888 he spoke his principles regardless of danger from the midnight raiders. The men who firs* came into town all had on the regular Bald Knob cap that so many people in Forsyth have been«acquainted with fot a number of years. The coroner’s inquest is still in progress at Forsyth under the management of Squire Jones.

No one is allowed in the courtroom except the attorneys and the witnesses. Quite a number of people are angry at Squire Jones about his queer ruling in court, but the squire says it is the only way to get the people to testify; as the witnesses would be afraid to let the immense crowd of people that is in Forsyth anxious to hear the testimony know what they would say. No one has been arrested yet and very little can be learned in regal'd to what the secret court is doing on the inside. The men on the outside of the court are all well armed. Deputy sheriffs and all who come i’lto town bring their Winchesters. Just when the inquest will close no one can tell yet.

The employes in the arsenal here, to the number of 2,000, chartered seven steamers and went out to where the Indiana is lying at anchor for the purpose ol greeting Capt. Sargent.

TARIFF SHOT. fUeb Dut:<n Utan l.o w rrlcc* For Wool— l ow Unties Moon HI*B Friee* - Eipert Op ninn I’ruved Bjr Statistics. Under the operation of high duties the price of domestic wool has always, gone down: Under low tariffs how. ever, wool has risen in price On this, point we have the testimony dt Mti Thomas Dolan, who declared inalettefto the New York World, on the fall in the price of wool as a res,lit of the increased duties imposed hy the MeKin* ley tariff, that it was distinctly promised by the protectionists who took part, in the conferences of wool growers and manufacturers. And Senator Sherman said in the debate on the tariff of 1883! “In 1867 the price of wool was 5lceiitS; in 1880, 46 cents. This was the result of the policy in protecting the wool grower, as it is in all industries to gradua ly reduce the prtce.x. Under the operation of the existing tariff (the tariff of 1807) the p-ice of wool has gradually gone down.” ' All wools were free of duty down to 1834, when a duty of 15 to 30 per cent, was imposed. This duty was increased by the tariff of 1838 to 4 cents per pound and 50 per cent. Under the compromise tariff of 1833 the duty was gradually lowered, and in 1842 it stood at 4 cents per pound and 26 per cent The tariff of 1843 raised It again to 3 cents per pound and 30 per cent The act of 1846 made the duty on wool 30 per cent; that of 1857 put low grades on the free list and c it down the rate on all other wools to 24 per cent The Morrill tariff of 1861 increase i the duty to 9 cents per pinn l, nn l the special wool tar ff of 1867 ra sed the duties to 10 cents per pound and 11 per cent on clothing wools, and 12 cents per pound and 10 per cent on combing wools. The tariff of 1882 took off the ad valorem doties, but left the pound duties as they were, and the McKinley tariff added another cent to the duty on clothing wo -la The average prices given are compiled from Ma.vger & Gurry’s circular, as printed in the “Statistical Abstract of the United States.” 1.

been received from a number of individuals and organizations asking that this relief be grante 1 to the 'farmers of the country. The committee is convinced of the justice of the demand. There is a difference between a request that all consumers be subjected to a tax levied, for the benefit of some particular industry and a demand from the consumers to be relieved of the burden. While both classes look to their own advantage, they are not equally selfish, for the latter only asks to be let alone, while the former seeks to appropriate to its own use the proceeds »i the toil of others. That great industry, agriculture, which lies at the foundation of fcll others, and upon the welfare of which all the interests of the country sn largely depend, has been neglected It has been discriminated against for the benefit of the protected industries, and the injury has been aggravated by the imposition of useless duties upon a large number of agricultural products, under the pretence that such a tariff would increase price of snch products, although the farmer has been assured that asimilar' tariff on manufacture! articles would reduce the price of the goods he buys. A large part of^the surplus products of the farm must be disposed of in a foreign market, and the price of that surplus, fixed by free Competition, regulates the price portiou sold at home, articles necessarily used farmer in the harvesting of his crops are made dearer for him than for his competitors he must bear the burden alone, for there is no one to whom he can transfer it. The chief of the bureau of statistics has informed the eommitlee that “it is believed that no binding twine has been imported into the United States for several years.” The tariff, then, of seven-tenths of one cent per pound is prohibitory and brings no revenue whatever to the government. The tariff on this article, therefore, cannot be justified, except upon the principle ttttA the taxing power should be used tfefkcvent importations entirely, and that principle, besides being unsnpportei by const,it itionat authority, would destroy all income from imports and compel us to look to a-line other source for the necessary revenues. The treasury department has sent to the committee all t e information obtainable in regard to this industry. A letter received by it from a prominent manufacturer states that there •rein .he Unite i States thirty-five cordage and binding twin* factories, twenty-nine of Whl h are owned and controlled by the National Cordrge Co, of New York, The twenty-nine in the trust, if it may he so termed, produces 60 per cent of the total output There of the If the by the

Early in 1891 the steel rail trust clinched its grip upon the market for steel rails by the consolidation of the two mills at Scranto"-, Pa. Previous to this time, though both mills were membel% of the trust, one of them was in the habit of cutting prices on, favorable occasions. Their consolidation unjler one management removed this disturbing influence. No better illustration of the control which the trust has over production and prices can be given than the average monthly prices of steel rails in 1891. As computed by the American Iron and Steel association, the average prices of Bessemer pig iron and steel rails at the mills in Pennsylvania have been as follows: January _ February... March... i... April........ May,...June. . July. August. September.. October. November.. December... -i II *15 85 16 25 16 50 16 10 16 50 18 25 16 29 16 0,1 15 60 15 50 15 15 15 35 ?! *1 828 OU SO OO 80 <10 30 00 30 00 30 00 30 00 ® 00 30 01 30 01 30 00 30 00 Bessemer pig iron is now selling in Pittsburgh at 814 90 per ton. But not a ton of steel rails, can be bought at less than-§30 at the mills. In the report on the cost of producing iron and steel proiucts in the United States, for which investigations were made in 1889, the commissioner of labor says: "The department has been positively informed relative to the cost of making .steel rails in several of the very largest establishments in the United States, and there is no shadow of a doubt in the mind of the writer that in these estab’ishraents the actual cost of standard steel rails is, and has been for some time, within a few cents of $39 per ton.” The recent heavy redactions made in wages by the steel rail trust and the falUn price of Bessemer pig iron from a ^average of $18 8"> per ton in 1889, when the commissioner gathered his statistics, to an average of $15.95 per ton irTTfeU, have greatly reduced the cost of producing steel rails. The present cost of producing'rails is not over $19. For every ton the trust produces, therefore, it makes a profit of at least $11. Under the higher price for -pig iron in 1891 the ccst of rails was not over $20 per ton and the profit was $10 per ton. In H331 the trust produced 1,368,259 tons of steel rails. The profits, there ore, were not far from $13,50ft 000. Doubtless these large profits have enab'ed Mr. Carnegie’s mills to declare over $5,000,009 in dividends just as they did in 1899.

Trusts “Are Liir;a1r l'rivate Affairs.’* The remarkable remissness of the present administration as to the enforceirent of the anti-trust law calls to mind the remarks of Fo t. J. 6. Blaine at Portland during th last presidential campaign. He said. “When President Cleveland delivered his message he had something to say to the American people about the danger of trusts.’ I thi ik there have been no democratic papers in the country, whether they understood the meaning of the words or not, that have hot been constantly warning the people as to the horrible danger of ‘trusts.’ [Laughter.] Well, I shall not discuss trusts, this afternoon I shall not venture to say that they are altogether advantageous or disadvantageous. They are largely private affairs, with which President Cleveland nor any private citizen has any particular right to interfere.” In his letter of acceptance Mr. Harrison ignored Mr. Blaine’s theory and indorsed Mr. Cleveland’s ideas concerning the objectionable character of trusts and combir.es, hot since he has teen thrown more closely with “the greatest living statesman" he seoms to have had a change of hear* Possibly as the Campaign comes On he may show more interest in the pec pie.—Indianapolis Sentinel. After One Tesr of HtKIoltyinn. Aside from the liberal movement in Australian fleeces, the wool markets at the seaboard are in a quiet'and generally draggy condition. The course of the market since the beginning of tho year has been anything but gratifying to dealers in domestic wools, and _ prices are new actually on the lowest level seen in many years. It was expected at the beginning .of the year that t here would he a renewed demand for wools, because of the outlook for an active woolen goods market But manufacturers, except in a few Uses, have not done all that they expected to, and their purchases of wool have been measured by their actual immediate requirements. The result has been that the market has ruled in favor of the buyer, and with the very liberal movement in Australian, which has been taken in unusually large amounts by manufacturers, and has to that extent filled up the gap wh’eh would otherwise have been filled b\r domestic wools, the dealer has not had a very happy time of it, and the growers, who pinned their faith upnn that defective - piece of legislation, the McKinley tariff, are probably the most disappointed set of all.— American Wcol Reporter.
