It does not require much effort to see the ruinous effect Which the enactment of Mr. Springer's bill, abolishing the duty on wool and greatly reducing the duties on its manufactures, must have on American wool growing. The im portation of $72,000,090 in wool manu factures in addition to the $13,000,000 last year sent to this country (for Mr. Springer says that the decrease in the revenuo will be made up by an increase in importations, and on the basis of last year's imports this increase will be at least $72,000,000), $115,000,000 in all, would simply be the importation of 345,000,000 jxmnds of wool, though in a manufactured form, to take the place of so much American wool in our mark ets. This quantity, increased by even the amount of raw wool now annually imported, 119,000,(KM) pounds—it would doubtless lie more under Mr. Springer's free wool measure—wouhl give a total of 434,000,000 pounds of wool that would come in. Deducting this quantity from our total consumption of wool, 600.000,- 000 pounds, we find that there would remain a market for only 136,000,009 pounds of tho 303,000,000 pounds annu ally produced in this country. These are the results which Mr. Springer him self admits will follow from his wool and woolens bill. But the farmer will not bo tho only OUS injured. The additional $72,000,000 in manufactured wool which Mr. Springer says would bo imported under the lower duties which he proposes would of courso Bupplant an equivalent quantity of American goods ami compel American wool manufacturing estab lishments to reduce their output by that amount. Now, $72,000,000 worth of foreign goods nt tho undervalued prices ai which they aro imported would Iw equivalent to nt least $100,000,000 worth of domestic gixxls at American whole sale prices. American woolen nnd worsted mills must therefore make $100,000,(MM) less in goods than they make now. That means that the 60,(KM) mill hands which it takes to make $1(M>,000,(MM) in finished products must lose their places and $16,(MIO,000 iu wages. Foreigners would do the work and receive the pay. But $16.000,000 isonlv an insignificant item in the great total I osb which labor would suffer from Mr. Springer's $72,- 000,000 addition to our present imports of wool manufactures. It takes account only of tho wages paid for direct lulxir in mannfnctnring, »bout one-fifth of tho whole amonnt of lalior Involved. Take a piece of woolen cloth, traco it liack to its original elements before they were touched by the hand of num, com mencing with the Inbor of shipping, handling and placing on tho shelf of the jobbing house the finished piece of cloth, following it through all the processes in the factory, not forgetting tho liilxir of tbc engineers, flremon, watchmen, clerks nnd overseers employed nJxmt tho establishment, nor tho lulxir involvod in producing tho coal, wood, oil. Ixilts and tho scoro or more of other classes of inisccUiuicoui supplies conannied in tho factory; then following tho raw wool u* it is handled and transjxirtoil from farm to factory, including the farmer's lalior of tending ami shearing tho flocks, rais ing hny and grain crops to feed them, b«.t omitting even tho salt they eat and tho labor of prixlncing it—if all of those and all other elements of labor uro counted, fully 80 ]x>rccnt. of the whole sale selling prico of tho goods, which we have placed at $100,000,000, repre sents labor cost of production. In other words, Mr. Springer wouhl Like $80,- 000,000 from American labor in order that the worsted and woolen mill* nnd working people of Bradford and Huddersfield and English nnd Australian wixd growers might pros|x>r. To realize what this means to Ameri can industry generally one has only to imagine what tho condition wonld be in any factory town if all tho factories should shut down. Every tra«lesman, professional man, clerk, car driver, bar ber, cook and chambermaid in the placo would suffer. Tho town live* on the wage* reccivixl by tho work ing people which nro spent for household necessaries arid general supplies, and are iwissed from hand to hand. Imparting life ami nourish ment to all branches of industry. Tho withdrawal of an annual disbursement of $80.000,000 from tho channel* of trade would bo liko drawing a corro- *]x>nding proportion of life bbxxl from n healthy body. Tho results in both cases wouhl lie similar. Activity would give placo to inaction, strength to weakness, health to languishing sickness. That Is what Mr. Springer'« measure means to lalxir anil its de|x*ndent interests. James R. Keene is coming np again, and in the right way. As fast as lie realizes on liis new ventures he pays the surplus on the debts he left when his big failure occurred in 1884. He lias al ready paid $1,009,000, and on the profits of his last deal ho paid $200,000. This man’s fame is national, and so it L a matter of national pride that he, like Henry Clews, 8. V. White, Har ty Meiggs and many others, tnakes good in prosperity all who lost money by his adversity. It is trtio that he could not other wise acquire a first class stand ing in Wall street, to which he as pires, but it is J. R. KEEN«. also to lie noted that these are debts of honor in the full est sense of tho phrase. They resulted from practical wagers on puts and calls. Mr. Keene is a native of the south, he and his onco famous partner, George Crouch, being of English parentage. Ho went to California in boyhood, be came a lawyer, and while conducting mining cases was led into s|>eculation. His success was wonderful. One day he sprung a trap on Flood and O'Brien and clean'd $2,500,000 in Belcher and Crown Point, and another time made $190,000 in Ophir. In 1870 ho went to New York with about $5,000,000. Wall street gos sip ran to tho effect that ho had said he came cast with a parlor car full of cash to drain Jay Gould, and that Gould re plied that he would send Mr. Keene homo in a freight car. He did it—almost. Keene was crushed, but remained in New York. At first he and Mr. Crouch were partners with Mr. Gould in Atlantic and Pacific telegraph stock. In 1878 Mr. Keeno was enilmr- rassed nnd gave up his lino bouse. In 1881 he was richer than ever. His sun, tho famous Foxhall Keene, was king of tho turf. Both were triumphant. Mr. James Keeno studied the situation and decided (hat the long depression of 1878-9 waa to bo followed by r.s many years of continuous boom. It wasn’t. Tho public knows tho rest. Atone limo ho lost $8,000,000 in wheat. In 1888 everything drop|s'd. Jay Gould never for one hour relaxed his relentless pur suit. His brokers nnd secret agents, headed by tho active Wash Connor, beat down every stock which Keene held. On tho last day of his battle tho latter paid $175,000 cash margins on his declining stocks, then posted his bankruptcy lie moved bis family to a modest dwelling nt Far Rockaway, disperser] his tino stable and started at tl.o bottom. Surely every generous heart will rejoics to learn that ho is coming up again. n.nrflla of the McKinley Law.
