WOOL AM TARIFF
An tr-p.ii tirrsHiuU'iit of the
C'leveluml In.l-r sty. that there are
5.0n).uim) wunds of wool stored t
The ImIIh ulone fjr want oft runrk
,.f It.iv.r -iv that owlns to the
proiirfs t of the alx)litin of duty on
wool, thev innm.t take it except on
a frve turirT 1.U-.U. Those persofw
who art" casting aU.ut for thecuw
of the prt--nt busine! depreica
should nmke a note of thl. It
siniDlv a t vi-U-al ca-s?. Manufactorl
of various kinds all over the countt
are shutting down or running shorW
hours Us-ause they dare not buy raw
umterial or ats umulate atx-k with
tirin n-form (?) looming In the ntr
distaius'. Tliis Is the fruit of the
IviuiMTHtic miiss-s last XovemU-r,
which, it was vaunti-d, would hriru;
pMMTity. We h:id pnwH'rity lfr
foie that misfortune, Jut we have
had depression nimv. The shado'v
of a legislation, which, it Is feurec,
will cripple many of our Industrie
has darkened the land. How will
it le if the Mow actually falls? Our
11 hoite is that we may have large
ly discounted the disaster, anil that,
after reflection, the DemiK-ratic conr
gresH may ismtlnut to refrain from
tarifT tinkering.
Rut there is somelhing more irj
the communii'atioii of thia Oregon
correspondent. lie mentions prl
vate business adviws received from
Australia haying that nineteen mil
lion jxiunds of wind are held there
awaiting free admisMion into the
I'nited 8tats, which is expected as
sK)ii as coiignNH meets. That i
iilKiut liins' times the average annual
product of California for the last 20
years, and considerably over one
third the average of the United
Stales for that eriod. What will be
the result to our wool growers If this
Australian stock is piled upon our
market? Then there will be a year
ly product of nearly 400,(100,000
to follow, of which a considerable
portion will of course lie diverted to
our shores, although the bulk has
heretofore gone to the United King
dom. It is held that this storing of
wool was one of the immediate causes
of the rtss-nt bank failures in Aus
tralia. Of course, it was not the
chief cause, but such a locking up of
nijiit.il would certainly affect the
financial situation, especially at a
critical time. The evil effects of
Ix-mneratic success are indeed far
reaching. .S. K. Rulletin.
The South Feel It.
The Smith, the great free-trade
Southern wet ion of the country, has
felt and is fisding the disasterous
t'fTects brought iiX)ii the country by
the ehs-tion of a free-trade President
and a free-trade Congress. The
jsHiple there are leginning to clamor
that "tin; McKinley tariff should be
left alone." It would sts?m, then,
that industries are tieing built up in
the Suith, that mauufactoris have
Usn cstablisheil there, that workmen
have Usn emjiloyetl earning wages
sieut there to build up and improve
that section of the country ; in short,
it apienrs tliat the South feels that
protection is absolutely necessary for
the maintenance of its existing
condition for progress and prosjierily.
We are glod of this j the more the
South takes to building up, the more
etvsntinl it w ill find protection to be.
The following from the Wilmington,
IV'I., Xews, August 31, shows it:
The merchants are holding back In
giving orders; the manufactures are
dtvreasing their output and dis
charging men j the idle workmen
are withdrawing their havings, put
aside for a "rainy day," from the
savings banks ; the morchanta are
not dcMsiting as much money as
usual in banks owing to a falling off
of sales; foreign manufacturers are
flooding our markets with goods in
order to get a fisjthold here in an
ticipation of free-trade. This Is the
secret of the whole trouble. The
McKinley tariff should be let alone.
Iron (aslng for Pillar.
In building the new government
quarantine station at Diamond
Point near Port Townsed, Wash.,
the government will cause the lower
portion of the piles to be encased In
a cast iron cover to protect them
from the ravages of the toredo. The
castings are 14 inches in diameter
and some are 3. feet long and weigh
C.0O0 pounds. There are to be thirty
six of these poles, and the casings are
now leing cast by a foundry on the
Sound at the rate of two a day. This
will tie the fir it wharf of tho kind to
be built on Puget Sound. The plan
is to drive the piling timber and then
slip the iron casting over them,
filling in each one w ith cement, and
it is believed that there will be
practically no end to the service of
the pil" so constructed. It is
thought that the cement will even
tually liccome so hardened as to
nsdst wear of the elements and the
boring of the toredo, even when iron
has worn away, and it will likely
hud to the construction of similar
wharves at other port on the Sound
Pacific Ruild.r.
There are employes mean enough
to take advantage of the money
market, even w hen it does not
directly effect them,' to reduce wages. I
Flghtlnc In a Foe.
"I suppie I never .told you I w as
in the war?" liegau the mau with
tiae ginger beard.
The grocer 'lowed, by gemlni, that
that was one of the few things the
man with the ginger beard hadn't
told Lira yt.
vteii, i wa. our nattery wa
on of the first that ever used the
percussion shells, them .shells with
a cap In the end of 'cm, and don t
bu,t till they strike. You've heard
of the battle of Raker's Ford, I sup
pose?"
The grocer had to admit that he
had not.
"Well, I will tell you about it. It
was there that we had the funnv ex
perience with them percussion shells,
iou see, we had Just got the range
of the place, and was a-droppin' a
few shells Jist to let the Johnny Reba
know what a new snap was lalng
sprung on 'em, when up come one of
ine iiurnuest logs you ever ss'.
Couldn't 4 feet ahead of your
nose. Rut, as we had the range, we
kejt pluggin' away, but somehow
we didn't apiear to hear none of the
shells bust any more, but as that
was none of our business, we jlst
kep a flrin' till the whole 700 shells
was fired. Then we stopjied and
waited for mornin'. With the risiu'
of the sun the fog nateraly lifted
all of a suddent. Then there begun
the da rudest racket in that reliel
camp that ever greeted the ears of
man. An' what do you suppose it
was? Them there shells hadn't lit
in the town at all when we was flrin'
them the night Is fore; they had Jist
all lodged up on the top of the fog;
and when the sun struck It they
commenced droppin' down among
the Johnnie an' goln' off. Maybe
you'll think I'm a liar-"
"Gosh I no."
'Maybe you'll think I'm a liar;
but the only thing that come out of
that aw ful place alive was an army
mule, an' his hide was so full of
scrap iron that he wasn't no use ; the
sharp p'ints of the iron Jist nateraly
cumrr 10 puss's anv harness we
could put on him. It was such a
aw ful niasnacree that there never was
no report of it made for fear of losin'
the sympathy of the civilixed world.
It came into the gnesVs mind to
ask the man with the ginger Istrd
fwrif It was he had neviT applied for
a en.sion on the grounds of total
disability of the veracity, but he
thought lietter of it, and easisl his
mind by decapitating a cockroach
with the cheese knife.
Rradstreets, commenting on the
gold shipments from Europe to
America remarks:
Gold shipments from Euroe to
this country on an unexiiectedly
large scale have !een the salient
feature in the financial situation this
week. Upwards of fldjOOO.OOO is in
progress of transfer from the Rank of
England and other European sources
of supply, the movement having
been rendered jossible by the hivy
foreign buying of securities and
brendstuffs on the decided breaks
which have lately occurred In our
markets. Another important devel
opment Is the tendency of national
banks to take out additional circula
tion, to which forced sales of govern
ment bonds by savings institutions
have given a further impetus. Wall
street, prompt as usual to discount
the future, has already exhibited its
belief in the beneficial influence of
these factors, the fears of the over
grown speculative lear Interest add
ing force to the upward tendency of
stock values. This is the more not
iceable because the actual effects of
either gold Imports or of increased
bank circulation are necessarily sub
ject to delay. At the moment the
most disturbing feature in the posi
tion is the scarcity of actual currency
resulting from the steady absorption
ol funds which has been in progress
since the subsistent distrust made its
appearance, and which has now at
tained a degree calculated to serious
ly aggravate the distress of financial
and buslneas Interests, even If, as Is
to bo hoped, it Is the last develop
ment in the case and the precursor of
a return to normal conditions.
Why She Was Sorry.
f From th Detroit Free Pres1
He had been worshiping her for
months, but had never told her, and
she didn't want him to. He had
come often and staid late, very late,
and fthe could only sigh and hope.
He was going away the next day on
his snmmer vacation and he thought
the last night was the time to spring
the momentous question. He kept it
to himself, however, until the last
thing. It was 11:30 by t lie clock and it
was not a very rapid clock. " Miss
Mollie," he said tremulously, "I am
going away to-morrow." "Are
you?" she said with the thought
lessness of girlhood, as she gnzed
wistfully at the clock. "Yes," he
replied. "Are you sorry ?" "Yes,
very sorry," she murmured. "I
thought you might go away this
evening.
Then she gated at the '
clock wistfully and lie tobl her good
night.
HOW A It 1 Ma Kl X WAS STOPPED.
Washington t"in furnish some!
storic of the depression. There is a j
very wealthy and Very nervous lady 1
here who drew 3no,UOO out of aj
bank. Having gut the big bundle of.
money she did not know w hat to do
the
w ith It. So she rented a box in
vault of the bank and put the money
into it. And there It lies olsjut 20
ft-et distant from where it was before
the lady drew her c heck.
One Washington bank has had a
run, aud the suddenness with which
that run colliip-ed was funny. A
man w ho had been refused a lxtn
went among department clerks ami
advised tin in to take their money
out of an institution which is largely
iwtroiiized by that clas of deposit
ors, ho at the noon nsit the clerks
flocked into the bank with their
books. The prcsjileiit is a gissl dind

would like to have them back in its
