“No,” said the elderly lady, “I don’t
think that woman is advancing the
right way. She is getting to a point
where she is liable to be imposed
upon.”
“Don’t you think she ought to vote?”
- “Of course, if she can’t do any bet
ter. But in my younger days a woman
made up her mind how she wanted a
vote cast, and sent her husband to the,
polls to cast it, while she stayed at
home and busied herself with what
ever she thought proper. That's what
I call woman’s rights.”—Washington

Time and again, the free trade pa
pers have asserted that our imports of
woolen goods were no larger in 1895
than in 1892 and 1893. It is well to
disprove this deliberate and intentional
falsehood, so we have given above our
Imports of'ail classes of woolen goods
during the ten monthB, ending October
31, of the last four years.
It is easy to see that our total'Im
ports of foreign woolens last year were
larger than the combined Imports of
1892 and 1894, or of 1893 and 1894 com
bined. That year we had bought 50
per cent more than in 1892, nearly 75
per cent more than In 1893 and 250 per
60 per cent over 1893 and of nearly 300
per cent more than our Imports of knit
goods In the corresponding months of
1894.
The imports of yarn were almost
three times as much as in 1892, more
than three times as much as in 1893
and seven times as much as in 1894.
Even the Increased values given do
not represent fully the increased quan
tity of goods imported, because prices
of genuine woolens are cheaper now
than a few years ago. We have also
bought enormously of shoddy stuffs
ranging from 25 cents a yard upwards,
and these rag goods have done more to
injure the honest woolen trade than
anytlng else.

American sheep raisers can see that
we paid to foreign countries, for free
wool, nearly $20,000,000 more than in
1894, nearly 916,000,000 more than in
1893 and almost $11,000,000 more than
in 1892. Taking the average of the
three years, 1892-94, at $15,000,000, the
free trade in wool policy has sent out
of the country, to foreign sheep farm
ers, $14,000,000 more than under protec
tion to American wool. Adding this to
the extra $2,000,000 paid for additional
shoddy, and we have a total of $16,000,
000 that would have been saved to
American wool growers, in ten months
of last year, had the McKinley tariff
for protection been undisturbed.

cent more than last year. In ten
months ot 1895, under free wool, our
imports of foreign manufactured goods
have been larger than In any full year
since 1873, excepting only 1889 and
1890, when extraordinary quantites
were shipped here in anticipation of
the enactment of the McKinley tariff.
We have imported more foreign car
pets than in 1892 or 1893 and more than
twice as much as in 1894. The same is
true of ready made clothing, excepting
that this year’s product had not up to
October 31 quite doubled those of a
year ago.
Of woolen cloths our Imports, under
the boon of free wool granted to our
manufacturers, were almost double the
value of the 1892 importB, more than
double the value of the 1893 imports,
and more than four times as much as
in 1894. The imports of woolen cloths
Very nearly equaled the total imports
of 1892 and 1893 combined.
Manufacturerscan readily see that a
policy of protection for wool growers
is infinitely preferable to a free wool
policy for manufacturers. The largest
previous value of woolen cloths ever
Imported into the United States in a
single year was $15,567,244 in 1890 be
fore the McKinley tariff became opera
tive, so that a free wool policy has en
abled foreigners to secure. In ten
months only, $6,250,000 worth more of
the American market for woolen cftfths
than they ever formerly possessed in a
full year.
Of the American market for dress
goods, the foreign manufacturers were
enabled to obtain last year, under our
free wool policy, over 25 per cent more
than in 1892, 50 per cent more than in
1893 and 200 per cent more than last
year. Excepting 1890, before the Mc
Kinley tariff became law,, we have to go
back to 1883, before the Morrill tariff
was enacted, to find any record of such
large imports of foreign dress goods, in
a full year, as has been shown in ten
months ot 1895.
Our imports of knit goods for the ten
months of free wool were larger than
in any full year since 1885. They'show
an increase of 59 per cent over 1892, of
pie of -eheep farms in New England,
where he is raising blooded stock for
breeding purposes. Possibly the value
of his stock is depreciating. It has
just dawned upon him that if farmers
are compelled to sell their sheep be
cause they cannot sell wool at a paying
price in competition with free wool,
then there will be no sale whatever and
no use for the wavering editor's blooded
stock.

PENGUIN BABIES QUEER.
Thiy Cant* Their Parent* No Bad of
Trouble.
From Young Idea: You will notice
that the penguin baby la very (at and
looks aa though he might be extremely
good for eating, but if you could see
father and mother penguin just now
you would And them uncommonly thin.
The care of the baby haa so worn upon
their minds and the trouble of finding
enough flsh for three to eat. that all
superfluous flesh for the time has van
ished. Baby penguin has a curious
nest. The mother tucks the egg away
softly and safely among her warm
feathers and even movea slowly and
with great gravity over the cliffs, carry
ing the egg, while father penguin goes
fishing. Mother penguin looks ae fat
during this time as the baby does now,
but when the egg Is hatched she goes
fishing, too, and soon grows as thin as
father penguin himself. You notice the
funny little wlnge Just beginning to
start on baby’s shoulders. Well, mother
and father penguin have longer ones,
but they are still more like fins than
wings. Nearly all the time la spent In
the water and fins are more useful to
them than wings; when on land these
little half wlnge are used as legs, and
the birds are often mistaken for Quad
rupeds as they run over the ground.
They do not seem to be troubled with
Insomnia. When asleep they can be
kicked several feet and never even
wake up. There is a variety called the
jackass penguin, from Its habit of
throwing back Its head and making a
loud, strange nolee that sounds like
the braying of that animal. The king
penguins have regular towns, where
every Inch of ground Is measured off
In squares for nests. The young birds
are arranged in a certain locality, the
inditing birds In apother, and the clean
birds quite apart from all these. So
strictly are they all divided that If a
moulting bird should accidentally stray
near the clean birds It would be In
stantly put out. In the Falkland Is
lands and In Patagonia these birds
abound. They are also very numerous
in certain islands of the southern Pa
cific ocean. On some of them SO,000 or
40,000 are constantly landing or going
to sea.
“TRILBY" WAKES UP JOHN BULL
H« Hat Juat Discovered That Jonathan'!
Literary Judgment Was Correct.
Our British cousins did not take very
strongly to “Trilby” when that novel
was first put upon the market, says the
New York World. The English critics,
who are a very clever and high sal
aried lot of gentlemen, instantly an
nounced with a‘ suddenness of percep
ception and immobility of conviction
peculiar to the British isle that there
was really nothing in the book, and the
British public, which haB been waiting
with strained ears to catch the mani
festo of the critics, at once came to the
same conclusion. Shortly afterward
the work became extremely popular in
America, and when they heard this the
British critics and the British public
threw their hats up in the air and ex
•almed aloud in a frenzy of joy and
self-congratulation:
“Did not we say long ago that there
was nothing in ‘Trilby 1'" 'And “Is it
not now proved that we were right? The
great American public has approved of
‘Trilby.’ Tto great American public
never approvra of cnything that is
worthy of approval; therefore, oh, it is
so plain, ‘Trilby’ is trashy."
But now two years have passed and
the sad news is flashed over the cable
that the discerning British public and
critics have succumbed. They now
acknowledge “Trilby” as their queen.
They have the “Trilby" craze. They |
wear Trilby shoes. They give Trilby
teas. The women buy Trilby garters.
The concert halls are all giving Trilby j
burlesques. In fact, “the Trilby lnfec- !
tlon” (so reads the cable dispach) “has
worked in the slower English blood a
fever no less violent than that from
which America recovered months ago.
The craze has Invaded everything and
become almost Insufferable to the
Americans in London. More than 100,- |
000 copies of the book have now been I
published here, and the demand is un
satisfied.”
If the British public keep up this
hustling there is every possibility that
they will adopt the sleeping car in
time.
She Left*
She was very pretty and very well
dressed. When she boarded the train
at 14th street she began to make In
quiries of the guard. A gray-halred
old gentleman on the opposite side of
the car courteously, begged leave to
tell her where to go. A young man
next to him begged his leave to differ
and to suggest that the lady had better
follow another route. A laboring man
corrected him and there was a lively
squabble by the time the train reached
8th street. The lady had blushed and
begged pardon through It all, but the
men had each contended that bis wau
the only proper method of reaching the
point. The train rolled out of 8th
street and the old gentleman re
marked pompously, with a wave of his
hand:
“I assure you, madam-”
And at his sudden pause all the men
turned to look and found that the lady
had fled at 8th street.—New York
