ABOUT WOOL.
A. circular issued July loth by the well
'known wool bouse ot Justice, Bateuaan
fe Co., presents timely information about
supply, consumption and prices of wool.
The wool clip of the United States in
1891 was 307,000.000 pounds. It rose to
330,000,000 in 1892. and to 364,000,000 in
1893. Since then it has decreaeed, and
this year it was but 204,000,000 pounds.
Bat thesupply of foreign wool since 1863
has been very gieatly increased, a good
deal of which yet remains in importers'
hands, bearing down the market.
The sheep arid wool industry was
.profitable down to 1S93. Under the
policy of protection it had attained to
Jarge" proportions and great value. But
it became known that wool was to be
imported free, and in anticipation of it
the market fell. Then, when the act
was passed under which free importa
tions might be made, wool was rushed
in from foreicn countries in immense
quantities. The home supply falls in
proportion as the foreign supply rises,
and though prices have' rallied a little,
we are receiving here in Oregon for our
uncleaned wool fully 6 cents a pound
less than we would receive had protec
tion been continued. Through reduc
tion of the price of wool and loss of the
value of sheep, caused mainly by free
trade, the woolgrowers of the United
States lost last year not less than $75,
000.000; and there is no reason to sup
pose there will be any real revival of the
industry so long as wool remains on the
free list. Oregonian.
Argument is no longer needed to make
the woolgrowers appreciative of a pro
tective tariff. The drop in prices and
the corresponding shrinkage in bank
accounts has done more than weighty
arguments or tables of statistics to show
the blight of free trade. Sheepmen who
neveral years ago counted themselves
rich are now concerned to make ex
penses meet and pay pressing obliga
tions. Democrats may claim that free
trade is not to blame, but it will have to
bear the stigma until a scapegoat can be
found.
MR.
II E Iill ANN AND
NOMINATION.
RE-
The question as to the desirability of
returning Mr. llerrr ann to congress from
the First district is already agitating the
republicans in the country west of the
mountains and south -of Multnomah.
Mr. Hermann has been an efficient rep
resentative; few men in Washington
have shown greater industry, or res
ponded more promptly to the needs of
his state. No congressman was ever
more prompt in answering letters, and
few men can match him, from a political
standpoint, as a letter writer; as a hand
shaker he cannot be surpassed.
If the people of the First district are
not beaded off at the nominating con
vention, Mr. Hermann will continue to
hold down that chair he has eo long
occapied. But the talk about his bolt
ing in case he does not receive a nomina
tion is not only very premature, but is
certain to do his cause harm. The re
publicans of Oregon have started in for a
new deal and they may go the whole
figure; if so Hermann, like Dolph, will
have to stand aside, for awhile at least,
and if there is any bolting the stand by
will almost certainly be permanent.
Mr. Hermann better call off his friends
who have commenced to barlf before the
danger is in sight.
RESTORE THE TARIFF ON WOOL
The congress that will assemble in
December should restore -.the duty on
wool. The manufacturers of woolens
still have a highly protective duty, and
the growers of wool should have a cor
responding benefit. Possibly the presi
dent would veto an act to restore the
duty on wool, but if he should, he would
only emphasize the just demand for such
an act, which would be felt in the next
elections. If wool is to be free, woolen
goods ninat be free also. Let us hav
consistent and fair free trndfc. Against
this principle it is impossible to main
tain a stand. Restoration of the duty
on wool would be worth now not less
than $1,000,000 a year to Oregon, and
more hereafter. Oregonian.
Thk Chronicle and all Eastern Or
egon republicans and democrats concur
in the foregoing.
There are no doubt a lot of attorneys
in the state who, when they read the de
cision of the supreme court in their par
ticular cases, longed to discuss them
over again in the public press. We pre
sume some of our local attorneys would
be glad to. have some of their cases
placed on . the newspaper docket and
tried out as soon as the Oregonian and
Mr. Dolph have disposed of the one now
under diecnssion. What's the use of
courts anyway? Why not leave all
these controversies to us newspapers?
We know all about law and justice,
. juries and judges, what the public's need
and what is best for them, iu fact, there
at few things we don't know more
about than all the. wise men and great
judges, at least this is the belief of some
newspapers.
New facilities for doing business
always increase business. The construc
tion of a telephone line into the interior
will meet a long felt want, will place the
merchants in more intimate relations
with their patrons and do much to de
vp.lnn the cnnntrv and increase business
here. The local telephone company are 8
to be commended for their enterprise in S
extending their line to Antelope. It is
reported that they are contemplating the
extension of this line in to Klickitat
county also.
A gentleman from Klickitat county
yesterday contracted to deliver, in this
city, 100 tons of timothy hay of this
year's crop. There is a very large acre
age in Klickitat valley capable of pro
ducing a heavy crop of timothy hay ; the
balance of the valley is extremely fertile
for all cereals; and yet some people
wonder where the trade comes from
which' keeps up the business of The
Dalles. The trade from that valley is a
good one and forms one ef the several
sources of our prosperity.
Try and 17 e Some Sense.
Tomorrow the circus will be here and
doubtless the usual number of people
will go to see the tun. In the light of
past experience a word of caution seems
necessary, though it would appear that
people have seen enough of circuses and
their ways not to need their weaknesses
pointed out. Circuses are like men in
being a good deal the same and while
some are more holy than others, all have
their faults. Every circus advertises
that it has no sure-thing games or con
fidence men in its retinue and that the
people need not fear of beiDg robbed.
But eternal vigilance ia the price of
security as well as liberty and those who
go to the circus tomorrow should re
member how easily they can make fools
of themselves and try and use some
common sense. Steer clear of anything
that looks like a game of chance and
don't be rushing around trying to .ac
commodate strangers by changing twenty
dollar pieces.
The. management of the circus is not
always at fault for the robbery that is
practiced and we are not writing against
circuses. The blame is upon persons
who won't use ordinary prudence at a
time when they should do so the most.
Don't try to get something for nothing
and when you buy a ticket have the ex
act change. Then there will be no
trouble and kicks the next day. If yon
must spend your money buy lemonade,
but don't give it to stranger just for the
sake of being accommodating.
