What Senator Snioot Orer!ookd
On J n no :? Senator CIkuiiIhm
lain read to tho si'iinte an lvast
Ort'jjonisin editorial published in
May and entitled Iuipovershiiisx
the Sheepmen." It eomniented
on tho hisrh price paid for wool
at the Pilot Rock sale the price'
hein'jx as mueli as five and a
fourth cents ahove tiie 1!U. price
and asked what had happened
to the disaster predicted to t lit
sheepmen in the event the tariff
on wool should he removed.
In an effort to offset the clear
showing made Senator Smoot
said:
'Mr. President, in this con
nection I desire to say to the
senator from Oregon that the
world price of wool is about
three times what it was in 1S!I(.
There is a shortage of about
J4IHMHI ,ii00 in the world's pro
duction for the last year, and on :
account of that shortage there is
a great demand for it all overj
the world and the prices are ex-'
ceedinglv high. I simply make!
this statement to have it under-1
stood that if the conditions were;
the same in the world's wool;
market today that they were in
LSH4 there would be no such ar-j
tides presented to the senate. If
there was a dutf' on wool tin
woolgrower would be getting j
higher prices than he is getting;
todav." !
To the Smoot statement Sena
tor Chamberlain replied: "I will
merely say that those conditions
were not particularly called to
the attention of the senate when
the tariff bill was passed but ru
in was predicted no matter what
the world's condition might be,
and the woolgrowers according
to the prophets of disaster were
going to be put entirely out of
business throughout the west
Notwithstanding those predic
tions the prices of wool in my
state are higher than they have
been in 2 years, with the ex
ception of two years in ;ill that
time."
Senator Smoot had nothing
to .say after that. Though he
was offered the floor he declined
to continue the argument, evi
dently feeling he was in deep
water.
.Senator Smoot's view that
the tariff together with the
quantity of wool in the world
regulates the price is unsound.
There is another factor that is
m,ore important than either.
It is the general business situa
tion. The chief event in 1894
was not the revision of the tariff
but the financial panic that
swept the whole country and
laid business to ruin. The
great difference between the
present time and 1894 is that
the financial situation today is
sound. There is no panic and
there will be none because the
new currency law will prevent
panics. East Oregonian.
In Massachusetts they have
had the hardest kind of a tight,
lasting something over two
years, over the passage of a law
that would secure an eight hour
working day for children du
plexed in the factories and else
where who are under the age of
li years. In the course of the
prolonged discussion there has
been much prediction of direful
and distressing results that were
bound to follow the enactment
of such a law'. Kirst would
follow the ruin of industry de
pendent upon the labor per
formed by these children. Sec
ond, there would be displace
ment of tht- young worker by
older labor, and the young
turned adrift would mean a
great increase in youthful vag
rancy and ci hue. Third, there
would be a terrible volume of
family hardship resultant from
the loss of revenue in the form
of wages now paid to these
children under conditions that
have prevaled. There were
(tiite a number of minor evils
incident to these three; and
summarizing the arguments in
opposition to the law, its passage
would mean little less than
wreck to the industries of the
state and ruin to the social life.
The law was enacted ami has
been in force a few months.
There also has been investiga
tion "I conditions under the law
in which the employment of
these child ren is i n v o I v e d.
There is no closing of factories
There is no considerable dis
placement of the younger work
ers. There is no remarkable
or alarming increase in juvenilv
delinquency. There is no gen
eral cry of distress from im
poverished families formerly
kept in plenty by the earning
nf children who were worked
longer than children ought to
be. The investigation has
shown, as it has been shown
many times before in cases of
similar import, that it was
simply another case of doleful
prediction gone wrong. Tele

Special arrangements have been
made through Congress and the
Treasury Department to exempt
from duty all exhibits to be re
turned to the original shipping
