SHALLOW TRICKS. ABSURD ARGUMENTS OF THE ENEMIES OF THE TARIFF. OMtndMwy AmrtlMU of th» Calamity Howler* Pat Them la Udkroa* Boat* tion*— Reekie** A*1 tattoo About Wool. It Has Come to Stay. In their eager search for arguments against the new tariff the calamity howling organs fall into the most con- ' tradictory and ludicrous positions, says the Philadelphia Record. In one and the same breath they assert that the tariff , is ruining the woolen industries of the j oountry and that the enormous impor- j tat ion of wool is death to sheep growing on the Rocky mountain ranges. They next assert that the enormous increase in importations of “shoddy” (which they estimate at 1,000 per cent t) is destroying the production of woolen fabrics —a statement which may be left to the Blandered manufacturers themselves. As the importation of shoddy was practically prohibited by the McKinley tariff, this percentage trick is as shallow as it is dishonest But the organs do not mention that the imports of rags, waste, noils and Other materials of shoddy dp not amount j to more than 7)4 per cent of the free imports of wool under the new tariff. This fact would completely destroy the trick of percentages. Nor do they mention that the imported materials of shoddy cost American manufacturers by the pound 83 per cent more than most of the wool imported under the McKinley law. Nor yet do they even mention that the importations of wool now consist for the most part of the finest foreign fleeces, which formerly seldom reached the mills of this country.

As for the poor woolgrowers, the enormous annual slaughter of sheep for the American consumers of mutton is attributed by the calamity organs to the destructive influence of the new tariff. If no domestic wool should be used by American manufacturers, sheep growing would still be profitable in this country for its meat With most American farmers who raise sheep the wqoI is the least consideration. But with the enormous destruction of domestic sheep, and with the enormous importations of wool, what has become of all the wool if the woolen industries have been as ruthlessly destroyed as the calamity howlers i assert? The manufacturers must have eaten the wool along with the mutton in order to engage exclusively in the production of shoddy fabrics! In their eagerness to misrepresent the new tariff its enemies are incapable of perceiving the absurdities in which they are involving themselves. But what do the calamity organs expect to accomplish by their reckless agitation against the wool schedule of the new tariff? Do they imagine that the consumers or the manufacturers of this country will ever consent to a restoration of the McKinley duties on woolens or to the removal of wool from the free list? If they entertain such a foolish notion, let them go ask the manufacturers themselves. It is possible that a woolen manufacturer here and there, in consulting prejudice or party spirit, may express a desire to return to MeKinleyism. But the great body of the manufacturers will set their faces like flint against a restoration of the wool duties, even though it should be attended by the lure of a revival of McKinley rates on woolens. They have seen and felt the effects of McKinleyism in its temptations to fraudulent valuations and smuggling. It is not conceivable that these wide awake captains of American industry would give up the advantage which the new tariff has secured them in opening, for the first time, the markets of the world for their raw materials. In the recent London Wool sales the appearance of American merchants in the front rank of bidders, for the best qualities was a new feature in the trada This shows once more the promptness of American manufacturers to avail them: selves of every opportunity. Is it likely that after enjoying the benefits of free wool they would consent to be shut out of the world’8 markets and driven back to the coarse grades of wool, as* formerly, after their rivals of England, Franco and Germany shall have picked out the finest fleeces? Not at all. Free wool has come to stay, and none is so well satisfied with this dispensation as the American manufacturer of woolens.

Harmony In the Empire State. The “Cleveland Democrats” and the i “Hill Democrats,” who have for so long a time been making war against one another in New York, have put aside their banners and rallied around the party of “plain Democracy” regardless of individuals. Old wounds are healing rapidly; the organization of the party is steadily being perfected, and | the Democrats of the Empire State, j which is by right and tradition thor- j oughly Democratic, are making ready for a united and successful campaign j against the common enemy at the polls in November next California's Colored Voter*. The Afro-American voters of California, to the number of about 9,000, are attempting to perfect -ah organization which shall secure some recognition from one or the others of the great political parties in the next election.
