HAS
REGAINED HIS GR'P.
What His Free Wool Hill Would Maaa
to the American Workingman.
The Downfall fend ficco very of Speew-
lator Keene.
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

every generous heart will rejoics to
learn that ho is coming up again.

In sumo sections of California nnd sev
eral of tho northwestern states the peo
ple nro beginning to realize that the
remarkable stories told of tho ravages of
rabbits in Australia nro trno, because
they nro now Buffering somewhat from
tho littlo posts themselves. Tho only
effectnal means of abating tho nuisance
so far discovered scorns to bo tho
“drive," in which a number of men
form an enormous circle, which gets
smaller nnd smaller as all walk slowly
toward a central point, where little dif

Tennyson’« tVrath.
“Vermin on the lock* of literature" is
tho forcible but not very elegant phrase
the poet Tennyson appliestothosocritic*
who accuse him of plagiarism, with ce-
pecial reference to Mr. Charlton Collins.
It ia severe, but from tho quotation*
from Mr. Collins in the English ¡H-riodi*
cals most American readers will, con
sider it just. For instance, where Ten
nyson speaks of the ocean’s “roar," Mr.
Collins think.'« it un imitation of Homer,
and declares that when ho speaks of a
waterfall ns “slow dropping veils of
thinnest lawn" ho got tho idea from an
imitation wuti rfall in n theater!
('ongrrMiiinn Clover’« Wife.
Kansas has had many celebrated wom
en, but none is moro noted just now
than tho wife of tho Alliance congress
man, Hon. 11. II. Clover. Shu has for
tho ¡wist two years managed a l.(WK) aero
farm with such ability that tho woman
suffragists declare Hiatus mon us Kan
sas grants political privileges to women
tliry will make Mrs. Clover governor.
It is freely admitted that tl.o booin of
1891 helped her out wonderfully, but it
takes genius to
utilize a boom.

Personally Mr*. Clover does not cor
respond ut all with tho typical “haul
working woman” of bonier romance and
tragedy. Him is quite a society leader
in her neighlstrhood, dre
with un
usually good taste and is Ix'tter edu
