Had Mr. Taylor been returned he would have held his position on that committee. Congressman Ilerry of Newport, who was Arthur Il.Tay- i lor’s chief competitor for the position I on the river and ba^or committee during the 53rd congress was appoint- | ed on tjiat committee by Speaker j *Crisp.

Washington Letter. (From oar regular correspondent.) - ^ Washington, Dec! 30,1895Speaker Iieed was given a taste of what sort of a job he has on his hands when that bond bill was pot through the House, aud the result was proha* bly due of the worst half hours he ever spent. He won, and the bill went through by a majority of thirtythree, but if the vote could have been put off until todfy it. is believed he would have lost and the bill have been ><|efeated, instead of being sent over tothe Senate to die by beiug smothered by amendments. It was not a coincidence that the revolting republicans were mostly McKinley men. It was on the contrary a very plain Intimation to Mr. Reed that the McKinleyitcs intend to make things unpleasant for him whenever they get an opportunity. Another notable thing about this short but sharp skirmish was the indication of au understanding having beeu reached between the Reed and Allison republicans of the House. Mr. Reed is doubtless very glad tjiat the House concluded to make this week a holiday. It will give him time to pull himself together and arrange hi9 program.

The reorganization of the Senate oornmitteeMTas been all arranged and this week the republicans will take charge, but it is not certain whether they will elect the officers of the Senate until later. President Cleveland will, on .Jantiarv 4th, issue his proclamation declaring Utah a state, and the republicans expect its legislature, ’which wfll convene on the (5th, to elect two republican senators at once. They may wait for the arrival of those two senators before eleetiug the officers of the- Senate. They have made a deal with the populists, but they are still afraid,to trust too much to them. Congress has by a joint resolution which passed without opposition authorized the secretary of the navy to accept the ram Katahdjn, which was rejected by the president for failure tq make the speed required in the contract, at the contract price,'it having "been sljowu that the builders were not to blame, they having constructed the vessel on government plans. '" * —-o— Representative Johnson of California, is one of the republican members of the House who openly kicked against the bond ami tariff bills forced upon. tho> majority of the House by the will and power of Speaker Reed. Mr. Johnson voted for the tariff bill under protest, but be wjth forty-six other republicans refused to vote for the bond bill, which he declared gave the lie to every principle and precept of the republican party, and in doing so he said: “Against my will,against my protest, looted for a bill (taTitf) which in iffy judgment was miueees--ury, w’hfeii in my judgment waw not a republican nn ssure. which mk my judgment did not meet the ca-d.which in my judgment we were not sent here to do. * •* La us be eoflsistent with our record. Let us stand by the rule which we adopted many years ago. that we will not issue1 bonds iu time of i>eaee.” •o—

There is little doubt in the mind* of many that a majority of the democrat^ in the house want Reed to get the republican nomination for president. Wdiv, doesn’t matter at this -tage of the gatne. A prominent democratic member of the house says this feeling is >>0' strong among the dcmociajrs of that body t\iat he be-, lieves they woult\ not hesitate to help’ Reed if it became probable that any of his opponents, for the nomination were trying to put anything through the house for the purpose, of handicapping Heed before the republican national convention, if such help was needed to beat the scheme, heedless to say it isn't love for Ueed which actuates them. Senator Voorhees says he-doesn’t see the need for upsetting the business of the country bv a prolonged debate on the tariff bff] that ha* passed the house, and that he Will endeavor td get the bill to a vote a.< soon a> possible. The senate, comat once, and of its action tseuator Voorhees, who^was chairman of the committee^ under the democratic organization of the senate, said: “I think the bill will be reported back to the senate almost immediately. But then, You can’t tell what will happen. There are some crumbs lying around, and every protectionist ia after all he'ean get. There is no disposition on the part of democrats to delay action on the bill. If delay comes it will be from the other side.” Senator Voorheea, is of course, strongly opposed to the bilk / mitfee on finance will take up the bill

been giving the frailuleut advertiser* ■ft shaking up and the result is that quite a number of them have been shut opt of the mail. The postoffice people do their level best to keep the people from giviug up their good money to the^e sharks, but so long as there are people who will be caught by promises of $10 worth for a dime these frauds will continue to do business. As soon as they are shut but of the mails under one name, they (ake another, and slightly changing their scheme they go right ahead again until caught by the postoffice officials. & —o— It is generally believed that another bond issue will shortly be announced, bat Secretary Carlisle will not discuss the matter for publication.

Jefferson Doctrine, Too. Jefferson, with whom President tyonroe had consulted, warmly approved of tljf doctrine* In writing to Monroe, he said: Our first and fundamental maxim should never bo to entangle ourselves in the broils of Europe, Our second never to suffer [Europe to meddle in cia-atiantic affairs. America, North £nd South, has a set Interests distinct from those of Europe and peculiarly her own. She should therefore have a system of her own, separate and free from those of Europe. While the last is laboring to become the domicile of despotism, our endeavor should surely to make this hemisphere one of freedom. #==3=-===—as ' The assignment of Indiana mem- | bet s to the house committees is as follow.-: Henten way—Appropriations.

RAW WOOL IMPORTS. SIGNIFICANCE OF INCREASE FOfyTHE PAST YEAR. It Simply Moans That Trad* Has Rs* turned to Normal Prosperity—Misleading Flgtirss of Protectionists—Manufacturers Are Not Complaining. The very large increase in the imports of raw wool and-manufactures of wool since the reaction from the panic period commenced has been seized upon eagerly by the protectionists as an evidence of the damage that is being done to American interests hy tho present tariff law, says the Philadelphia Rec* ord. It is worthy of note, however, that those who undertake to use the figures of wool imports to bolster up protection-* ist theories go back no further in the history of our 'foreign trade than the panio year of 1898-4, when all industries were stagnant and when the consuming power of the great r-iss of purchasers was at its lowest point in many years. The transition from this year of. depression to the following period of gTcat activity is about a^l the protectionists care to include in their tirades against the free wool features of the present tariff.

Mr. Theodore Justice, who is one of the most prolific producers of these protectionist arguments, has recently prepared an extended statement showing the increase in the imports of wool and manufactures of wool during the 13 months ended Aug. 31, as compared with the previous year. This period was. chosen in order to show the course of trade during the last 13 months in which the high ifcool duties of the McKinley tariff were in force and during the first year of the present free wool schedule. This comparison shows that the imports of raw wool in the 1: mouths ended Aug. 81, 1895, amount |d to 349,496,058 pounds against 68,078,67? pounds in the previous year, and the imports of, manufactures of wool ncroased in the same tirao from #15,884,260 to #45,858,438. These figures! separated from statistics for previous yo urs, npake an apparently striking argument with which to persuacle.Ame. ican wool growers and woolen manure rurers that their interests are being disastrously effected by free wool and rec aged' duties on woolen goods. But the showing which these isolated figures make, and which Mr. Justice and his fellow protectionists point out with such enthusiasm, is entirely misleading, as nay readily be seen by considering the imports of the past two years in their proper context. As Mr. Justice has selected an odd period upon whieh to base his argument, it is feasible tc present earlier statistics for corresponding months, but i the figures for the government fiscal I years ended June 30 answer ‘equally | well both for Mr. Justice’s theories ami i for the argument by svhiCh to refute them. v

The imports of raw wool m the fiscal year end^d Juhe 80, 1895, amounted to 206,183,906 pounds against 55,152,585 pounds in the preceding year. While this shows an increase of- 260,981,321 pounds from the panic period, it was an iuerease of only 33,700,068 pounds from j the fiscal year 1892-3, when the high | McKinley duties were in force and when ! American wool growers were presumj abily enjoying all the advantages of protection. Omitting entirely the abpormnllj* restricted imports of wool in 1898-4', the increase from 1852-8 to I 18^4-5 was but little more than the ipj crease in imports from 1891 2 to 1892-3. : TJiis i3 made more clear by th. followI ing table of imports of raw wool during the past eight fiscal years ended June 30: f> Pounds.

Had i the imports \if wool increased thr ughI out the period cove,red by th,- panic at the same rate as was maintained while ; the McKinley&iriff was in force the imi. ports last year would have ! eu far in I excess of the actual figures which are j causing so much anxiety to the_^>rotec- ; tionists. Farthermore^tlie small ini- | ports of 1893-4 and the large imports in ! 1894-5 taken together w:cre §60,000,000 lees than the quantity of foreign wool 1 landed on our shores during the precede ■ ing two years. I Manufacturers are nut saying much about tiie increase in»4mports of raw ! wool, for this condition points unerringly to greater industrial activity in this . country. But the increase in the imports df manufactures of wool from #19,439,372 in 1893-4'to #36,542,396 in 1m‘4-5 is pointed out by the protectionists as an evidence of the ruin of Amercan .wool i manufacturing industries by British j | competition. As a matter of fact, the I imports cf manufacture of wool in the past fiscal year were #1,506,119 loss than they were two years agp and #20,000.000 less than five years ago. The whole significance of^he increaseof our imports of wqoland woolens dur- I ing the past year lies iin the fact that j this country has been recovering from ' extreme depression in all branches of trade and bus returned to a condition of normal prosperity in a remarkably shoi; time. Even fcad the McKiuky duties remained in force there would probably have been . m equally notable increase in imports of wool and woolens under such conditions of quick reactions.
