THE AMERICAN SPIRIT.' It its somewfhiaJt mortifying that the English plebple had first to learn the 'truth about Amerioain sentiment from an Englishman. Mr. Henry Nortnan contilniues Ms dispatches to the Chronicle and he oontinoies to tell what everyone, except tihoste whiewn the St. James' Gazette designated as "mugwumps and mil'lioiniaiilres," knows tio ibe an American, sentifmetait, says the Indianapolis Nev. s. It liis someiwihat mortiifyifing that an eminent journalist, am1 Amertoan, a New Yorker, who had the golden opportunity .that the American correspondent of the Donidon Ttoites has, should be so-in-capalble of reporting itlhte sentiments of his own country or so malicious as to send the lies he has been sending. It is mortiifyitnlg also that an Amierican newspaper, the Niew York Evening Post, is antagonliKifng MT, Norman's dispatches alnd is maktog special, pleas- to bolster up thle Bnitish "claJms" and the Salisbury contention.

There i®, to be sjum, not very much of thliS -ua-Ajmerton spirit anywhe're in the couintry. While most of it is to be fountd in the East, some of it is to be found to various dfaheir centers. All of it Is as wihknsiteai as it is unpatriotic. Professor Mayo-Smith, for exaonple, in his recent speech here, on which we have already coanmeinted, laid great stress on the possilbifliity ithat iff we pers'isted in our attitude the British might bombard New Ytark! That dSs the state of .mdtn/d whaJch .advanced to Stephiensonj the linrefutjable airgumeint against ihiis proposed lowmotiKie: "Suppose a cow got on the ttlrafck!" This was thought to be a dillemma that demonstrated the itoposSilbi'Iriity off the locomotive. Tih)e Mayo-'Smiths oug-ht to rilse to the cmpnehtens!«n of the fact ithat 'if national honor and ptrtooiiple are at stake, and thtey can be conserved only by the appeal to force, ait were better New York and every otlWer one of our coiast cities be bombarded than that we play the palrt of craven, and yield (to foreign dictation. Existence itself is not worth •hiaviinig under terms of humiliation and tribute. "Tihiat was thiB spirit olf 1776 and of 1812. Pray heaven it may long •be the spirit of free-born Americans.

To us it is amaziinig itlhiaJt there should be any American that can .not comprehend thi's spirit. Ttapk ^t.'.e r:s« 1o! xuj. to find mem of c-uuiure, ileadters 'in education, unable to lay hold of such a principle, declaring as this Columbia Colleg-e professor did bhe other day, that 'it would be a good thing for England to take the whole oif South America—England that is freer thlan we are,' is something disheartening. It is proof again that when the tdde of human affaiifns rise high, they who play well the part olf "markers" in ordinary times aire next to useless. They can see nothing but thte bofiL'jng turbulence of the bide. They can not see the great oniward set of 'its heaven-diirtedted course. They lose Sight of everything but the desitre for

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY. The speech of LordA berdeen at the openling of the sixth session of the Seventh parisaiment olf 'the dominion containfe seveiral poihits of interest to the American people, as Canada's nearest neighbors. Among them are his references to 'the imperial subsidy for aai Atfaintic line Of steaimers, ImperM aid to the Pacific cable project, the proposed strengthending of Canada's defenses, and 'the .better arming of her ml'litia. In. all these things we may find good examples for our own -irirstructtom.

But more (immediately noticeable is the governor general's 'announcement that the British and American commissioners on the Alaskan boundary have concluded their labors, and have signed a joint report ami them, says the New York Sun. This iraport is thought to have set forth an official verification, by surveys, of the (fact that Mount St. Bl'ias to the frozen, ocean the line is easily ascertained, beling that of the 141st meridian, but th&Jt south of Mount St. Elias the .range of mountiains, whfdh1, acoording to one provision of the AngloRusstiian treaty of 1825, was to form the limit of Russian America there, has no existence

Fortunately, as iiif with some prevision oif this possible lack, the treaty ailso provtided that "whenver the summit olf the mountains .that extend to a direction parallel to ithe coast from the 56th degree olf north latitude 'bo the point of intersection! of the 141st degree of west longitude shall prove to be at the distance of more than/ ten marine leagues from the ocean, the Mmlt between the British possessions and the line of coast which is to belong to Russia, as above mentioned, shall be (formed by a line parallel to 'the winding of the coast.

T"-'r1''rh

shall never cseeed the distance

of ten marine 'leagues therefrom." It remains, therefore, to measure .those ten leagues.

Just here, it appears, trouble is coming. instead of measuring the thitry marine miles from the coast of the mainland, the Britiish aire trying to have it measured from .the outer edge olf sundry (islands along the coast. Again, they propose to substitute as- the starting point, not Portland Channel, as we have always known, it, but Behim Channel, which lies well to the west.

At this last point a fiaJir argument •^sstfole. The treaty imenltfkmis Portland channel as 'the line, and it is proper to inquire where Portland channel lit. The Briftiisfh made a similar attempt In the San Juan controversy to substitute for the water course named to the treaty another channel, and on an appeal to Germany as arbiter they were beaten. But the other part of their proposal seemes preposterous. The plain words oif the treaty prefscrJbe a distance of ten marine leagues from "the winding of the coiast." Tihe very term "winding" implies a continuity. How, then, can the mainland there, which gives such continuity, be rejected for tihe utterly dasconnected outer edges of islands wh'itoh cannot /be called "the coast" at Ull?

It may be s'alid that if -bhe word "winding" lis to be taken literally, we should have to go up rivers but the headland principle disposes of that objection and Shows how a shore line runs. It may also be sb-id th'at a line "parallel to the winding of the coast" would (be absurdly irregular hut no more so than one that followed tihe windings of islands, supposing that such a line could be dnaiwni The substitution of straight for curved lines and rectification by transfers from one side to the other of the treaty -line when once drawn will be easy !but -it must first be drawn.

THE DECLINE OF WOOL

A STROXG FLEA FKOM THE FARMERS FOR THE TARIFF. BLKS8ING.

Annual Meeting of the Wool-Growers Association—Able Address of President Cowglll.

The Indiana Wool Growers' Association held its tenth annual meeting in Room 120 of the Capitol yesterday afternoon, says the Indianapolis Journal. The programme called for a meeting of only a half day, but on account of the absence of several of those who were to have read papers it was found necessary to continue the meeting till this morning. The most important paper to tihe general public yesterday was the annual address of President Calvin Oov gill, of Wabash. He discussed the wool tariff and .the chances for profitable wool-growing in this country under the present schedule, which he thinks are very slight. In introducing the tariff question, President Cowglll said: -1 "With a country extending fi'om the for-ty-ninth parallel of north latitude to within twenty degrees of the equator and from the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific, including without embracing Alaska an extent ot territory of more than 3,oC0,000 square miles, with every variety of climate and soil adapted to the raising of sheep and the production of wool, with a population of more than 70,000,000 people to be clothed, who consumed last year, according to statistics, 639,400,636 pounds of wool—it is

true

.that, notwithstanding this enormous consumption in our own country, such are the conditions that face us that we have been unable to supply more than one-hair that demand at such remunerative prices as will justify the further maintenance of our flocks. .. "Such have been the discouragements and so inadequate the prices obtainable for wool that we have be^n compelled to witness our flocks going co the slaughter by the hundreds of thousands, until toaay the sheep that, a few years ago numbered In the aggregate over'„50,0p0.000 now number not to excecd over 39,000,000. With an increased home consumption averaging 37,789,789 pounds of

iol for each year of

'he last five, it is estimated by a reliable authority that ithere has been a shrinkage in the domestic or home supply inthelast two years of nearly or quite 100,000,000 nounds Why doe3 this state of things prevail? How has it been brought about The answer is plain. "Inimical legislation has wrought this destruction. For the first time since 1S16 the American statute books contain provisions by which it is made possible for English and other importers to bring wool grown by tihe liaif p^id inlh^i'tants of the colonies and dependencies of Great Britain, here to monopolize our markets for one of the prime necessaries of life, without restraint cl II.'

Mr. Cowgill tLoiv showed how the wcfcl grower of the West is injured doubly. The freight from Australia to New York on wool is only 1 cent a pound, while the freight from" points west of the Mississippi river is 3 to 4 cents to the same place. It is the market of New York that governs, and the price in the West is the New York price, less the freight. With no tariff the same is true of the Australian price. This would leave a difference of 2 to 3 cents a pound in favor of the Australian grower. Thus, if the New York price is 25 cints, the Australian grower would receive 24 cents and the Kansas man would get only 21 cents. Mr. Cowgill concludes that, under these conditions, wool-growing in the United States must be abandoned. "Free wool. benefits only the importer and foreign producer," Mr. Cowgill continued. "That it cheapens the clothing to our people when individually considered is true, but to such small degree as to be almost Imperceptible. It is at the expense, nay, the absolute ruin of the business of more than 1,000,000 American citizens engaged in wool-growing. There may be a temporary benefit accruing to the manufacturer situated near the seaboard, where he can have the advantage of cheap ocean freights, but that benefit will be only temporary. When wool-growing is abandoned in America, as it must be without tariff protection, he will be at the mercy of the foreign producer for his material, and the foreigner will extort from the manufacturer his own price, and there will be no Alternative but to pay it. The burden will then be felt by the man who wears the clothes no less than by the man who makes? them. The thousands of woolen mills now existing, and that would spring up through the middle and Western states with.proper protection to the producer and manufacturer of wool, will be abandoned for the reason that their wool supply must come from the Eastern seaboard, and the extra freight to their factories in the interior will give their Eastern competitors, with large capital and low freights, so much advantage as to destroy them. This would work another great injustice to the great West by preventing one of the means of employment and diversity cf labor, which is always essential to the welfare and prosperity of any country."

Mr. Cowgill then quoted some figures on the market receipts of sheep to show the rapidity with which the flocks of the .country are being depleted under tne pressure of free wool. He spoke of Senator Voorhees' claim that the removal of the duty on wool would enhance the value of the American product, and said he would pas3 that subject by, merely referring his hearers to the object lesson gleaned from the prices they have received for wool since the free trade schedule went Irto effect. He recalled that immediately following the removal of the tariff the prices that had been paid were cut in two and the boarne Live- i:e™ price. The attempt of .the free traders to prove their theory by quoting the prices under the McKinley tariff, he disposed of with the remark: "The ruinous depreciation universally suffered since free trade has. come makes it unnecessary to seek further for the cause.'" Previous to I860, he said, the wool supply of the world came principally from the northern hemisphere, but since that time the production in 'the soiBthern half of the world has increased so wonderfully and freight rates have declined so materially that it Is these causes that have brought about the great reduction that prevailed four years ago over the prices of 1860. The sections of the southern hemisphere have increased in production since 1860 from 119,000,000 pounds of wool to 1,054,000,000 pounds. During that period the decline in price in the London market was 51 per cent, while in the American market, supported by the tariff, it was only 12% per cent. During the first year after bhe repeal of the McKinley law, the importations of shoddy and substitutes for wool amounted to 17,666,563 pounds, against only 210,404 pounds during the last year of that law. The tariff was such on this class of goods that it could not be imported under the McKinley law. Commenting on this, Mr.'Cowgill said:

Thus we are compelled to see the "rags that are gathered from the hovels and filthy slums of foreign cities, reeking and begrimed with the most repulsive filth, and not infrequently containing the germs of contagious and pestilential diseases, monopolizing our home market for wool. We are rapidly advancing to the time when the American people, instead of being clothed in clean, healthy woolens of their own production, will be clad in English shoddy gathered from the gutters and slums of the crowded cities of Europe."

Concluding, Mr. Cowgill said: "And, in addition to all this, we have today before our eyes the humiliating spectacle of the only president of the United-States that ever recommended the removal of all protection to one of the greatest and most indispensable industries of the country, thereby surrendering a revenue of millions, hawking the bonds of the government in the money markets of the world to get money to defray the ordinary expenses of the nation, and his embassador at London, instead of maintaining the dignity and high character of the government St is his duty to represent is coquetting with the British queen and making free trade speeches in disparagement cf his own country, even to the disgust of the English themselves. But a brighter dayjs dawning the clouds that have hung like a pall over America for two years are lifting: sad experience has caused peopie to stop and take a second sober thought. Hereafter they will heed the lessons taught by their fathers. Wool growers, take courage. When the time comes that this government shall be administered ac-
