THE YAWP OF DAVID.
Men with good memories, and
-who are the sort that delve into the
obscurities of mugwumpian lore, re
member thai in 1S92, cr thereabouts,
a person known to folly as David A.
"Wells published in a free trade mag
azine an article under the head of
"Death in the Pot" Death was
taken to mean shoddy, and the pot
was the McKinley bill. That bill
placed a high, and all but prohibit
ory, duty on shoddy, and moderately
protective duties on wools. David
truly dessnbed shoddy to be the
product of rags cast off by lepers
and rejected by the hospitals of the
old world, a vile refuse, fetid and
foul, and carrying with it germs of
disease. But how, now that the
people have recovered from the tem
porary insanity that afflicted many
in 1892, do you think that David
proposed to restrict the importation
of shoddy to the United States? By
making the duty upon it still more
onerous? Oh, no! Such a scheme
would have been open to suspicion
of sanity.
David gravely proposed to elimin
ate shoddy by making it and wool
alike free of duty. "When both are
admitted free," argued, or rather
said, David, "men will choose and
use the better, and the worse will be
rejectsd.' A sane person would
have said, "When two articles, one
Tile and cheap, and the other excel
lent but more costly, can be import
d on equal terms of tariff, and when
the vile can be made to look, but not
to wear, as well as the good, then
dealers will force the vile upon the
market at just a shade below the
price of the good." Bat David
never yet spake m the language of
reason.
However, 1892 was a season of
temporary aberration, and it happened
as David desired. The Democrats
and mugwumps prevailed, and made
a tariff bill wherein wool was free.
Did free wool chase shoddy out of
the field? Not at all. Far other
wise. Cheap shoddy came near to
chasing pure wool out of the market.
During the last year of t'ie opera
tion of the McKinley tariff our im
ports of shoddy were, practically,
nothing; 143,000 pounds were all
that came in during twelve months.
But in the Grst year of the Wilson-Gorman-Wells
tariff our imports of
shoddy rose to 14,000,000 pounds, '
next year to 18,000,000, and for the !
year epding June 30, 1897, the last)
of that miserable tariff to 48,0n,-!
000 pounds. And while the rotten I
cr" uugui3i:ti iuc sem
blance of good cloth, were being
dumped by shiploads on our shores
and sold as "all wool clothing,"
thousands of bales of pure wool were
rotting along the railway routes of
Montana, Texas and Wyoming, un-1

country were idle, because the pro-1

from Lngland. The English pot
Loiled merrilly, and '.he shoddy that
David had likened uuto death, was
cooked in it for American consump
tion. Why do we write this Because
Davis has been silent for the space of
three months, and it is about time
for him to open his mouth again.
We areanxious that when he next
doth yaup his yaup on shoddy shall
' be remembered against him. Iutcr

Nothing nobler is recorded in history (
than the porservornnee of the Cuban
patriots. Their deeds deserve chron
icling with those of their American
prototypes who won independence
one hundred years ago. The victory
will be all the sweeter if they win it
unaided; but the nation is weary of
seeinc the unnecessary butchery con
tinue. Cuba is destined to be free,
and, as liberty-loving Americans, we
pray that the day of deliverance
mav be hastened.
