"A TRIUMPH FOR FREE WOOL."
The exports of our 'woolen manufac
tured goods during the eleven months
ending .November 30, amounted to $bS5,
898, against $676,740 in-the correspond
ing eleven months of 1894. It cannot,
therefore, be doubted that our woolen
mills are now doing better than they
have done.
This is a great triumh , for' free wool,
which the Wilson tariff gave the coun
try. N. Y..Herald,' January 11, 1896.
21 r. James Gordon Bennett's un Amer
ican paper shows that our exports of
American woolen goods were $9,158 more
during eleven months cf protection to
wool in 1894. This may, indeed, be re
garded as "a great triumph for free
wool.'ian increase of $33 per working
day in the output of all American woolen
mills, 2,500 in number, or an average of
of 13 cents added to the value of the
daily output of each mill, half of which
goes to labor, so that 6)4 cents per day
could be divided among 155,657 wage
earners as the direct result of the "great
triumph for free wool."
We have not deducted the increased
woolen imports which, last year, tronvJ
the United Kingdom alone reached $19,
000,000 more than in 1894, without any
figures from Germany or France, where
Mr. Bennett's partisan friends are un
doubtedly drinking success to American
free trade.
The loss of $19,000,000 of our woolen
trade meant an average Iobs of $7,600 in
the output of each and every one of our
woolen mills last year, to be charged
against the increased 13 cents worth of
business per woolen mill per day ac
quired throughtbe capture of additional
markets of the world.
We believe that Mr. Bennett's state
ment that "It cannot, therefore be
doubted that our woolen mills are now
doing better than they have done" is
slightly at variance with the truth.
These results, however, certainly show
that "this is the great triumph for free
wool" when one becomes "triumphant"
over the destruction of American in
dustries. Economist. :
Governor Lord's promptitude in re
sponding to an eastern newspaper's in
quiry as to the numerical strength of
the state militia was no less remarkable
than is bis tardiness in answering the
query of about a score of Oregon news
papers as to why he does not call a spe
cial aeesion ot the legislature. His ex
cellency seems to be more interested in
Cuba's struggle for freedom from Span
ish rule than in Oregon's appeal for re
lief from oppressive taxation. Evening
Telegram. .
This is lively imagination. Governor
Lord is not more interested in the Cuban
insurgents than in Oregon's appeal for
relief from oppressive taxation ; but he
doe 8 not call an extra session because be
knows that outside of the political ring
Bters in Portland and a few of their hire
lings in other parts of the state, no one
wants an extra session. We would
rather let bad enough alone, without
making it worse. i
A bale of goods from Europe is a de
pressor of American wages under a low
tariff. The American manufacturer
without adequate protection must meet
the European price or suspend opera
tions, and he can meet it only by reduc
ing the cost of production, which is
mainly labor cost. Add this to the fact
that laborers of the cheapest, and often
the most degraded classes, are pouring
into this country to make the competi
tion sharper among wage-earners, and it
is perceived that the right method of
advancing wages in this country is, not
to try to fix wage rates by governmental
deciee, but . to build higher the tariff
barrier against foreign goods and to im
pose severe . restriction upon immigra
tion. The Press, N. Y.
Political Gossip.
Political gossip is beginning to appear
in the etate papers. It is yet too early
for candidates to be announcing their
intentions, and the imagination of news
paper men has a full field for its exer
cise. An Eastern Oregon paper says
that A. S. Bennett of The Dalles may
poesibly be the Democratic nominee for
the- supreme court. - This, however, we
think unlikely, as Judge Bennett has
been a candidate for that position twice
already and the chances for electing a
democrat to the supreme court are no
.better now than thev were two or four
ears ago. The Tribune Eays that there
is a mild suspicion that Judge Charles
H. Carey of Portland could be prevailed
upon to take an active part in the con
gressional -fight - in the First district.
Whether or not this may be so, Mr,
Ellis will not be .without competitors
that will make the contest in the con
vention interesting. It is about time
that John C. Leasure was arising to an
nounce that he would make a good con
gressman. JVLr. Leasure, after moving
to Portland, eeetus to have been lost in
the political shuffle.
From now till" convention time there
will be abundant opportunities to make
and unmake candidates with the rapid
ity of a kaleidoscope.
