Chicago Chronicle: From a Mlnu'o sota editor The Chronicle has received a copy of a circular sent out by a Chi cago wool commission house, which for convenience sake we may call Wool worth & Co., accompanied by tho ques tion, "What can you say to this?" It may not bo necessary to sny much. The circular, which may have been written by the residuary rhetorical leg atee of Sir Boyle Roach, seems to speak for Itself, as It were, "through Kb hat." In their opening paragraph Woolworth & Co. convoy the Information that tho wool situation "Is the gloomiest, on record; it is simply paralyzed." Emerging from their gloomy paralysis, they remind their readers that "tho darkest cloud has Its silver lining, and sometimes covers the most brilliant sunshine." At other times, no doubt, It covers the most silvery moonshine. "We believe," they cheerfully continue, "that furrows In the dark depression of trade are widening; if such be the case wc will soon realize a change, with prosperity and confidence again at the helm." With these parties at the helm of the plow wo may expect the furrows In the dark depression not only to widen but to deepen until they blossom as the rose on the hill tops of Damboozland. It grieves one to learn that "our flocks are Imprisoned behind the tan gled web of uncertainty" and that for eign flocks are increasing in value and In numbers while American wool goes begging for buyers, selling nt a dis count In every market of our country." But It is cheering to learn from tho same high authority that "the price of wool has certainly reached a climax; there is no doubt that the bottom has been touched." There's nothing llko touching bottom, even If It is the bot tom of n climax, or what prosy people might call an anti-climax. What can we says to this? Why, that Woolworth & Co. aro not second in a certain kind of talent to tho mayor of a German town who, in a formal address to the emperor, said: "No Aus tria, no Prussia! Only one Germany! Such are the words which the mouth of your Imperial majesty has always had In Its eye." And In their advice to shepherds to hold their wool in anticipation of the election of McKln ley they are not unlike another illus trious German Count Falkenberg who urged his friends in the reichstag to "seize the stream of time by the forelock." But Is there nothing serious to say to this? Yes. The gist of the circular is this: Hold your wool and vote for McKinley and a high tariff on foreign wool. Thus will you get high prices for your wool. This may be good ad vice for the wool growers, but it over looks the wool consumers, who are much more numerous. It even over looks the average wool grower himself, who, under a McKinley tariff, pays out two or threo times as much in artificial prices for woolen goods as he gets in artificial prices for his wool. The circular assumes that the wool grower will be ruined Irretrievably if the government does not help him get an artificial price for his wool. We heard something like this a number of years ngo, when It was proposed to abolish the internal tax on matches. Under that tax a combine of a few big manufacturers enjoyed a monopoly. Representatives of the combine claim ed that the repeal of the tax would ruin their industry. Notwithstanding their protest the tax was repealed. As a result we now havo cheap matches, and while Diamond Match stock brings 225 In the market wo may safely con clude that the Industry Is not ruined. We may be equally sure that while free wool will give us cheap wool and cheap clothing It will not exterminate our flocks. - Woolworth & Co. are ns mixed In their facts and philosophy as they are in their metaphors. "Pmper I.bor" V v vin. Consul General Judd tcently sent to the state department au official com munication touching upon certain fea tures of the industrial situation In Ger many. Speaking of this communica tion, McKlnley's personal organ in Chicago says: "Mr. Judd Inadvertent ly reveals the fact that the wages of German cloakmakers have been grad ually reduced until an operative is compelled to pay rent and purchase clothing and food on $1.25 per week." It Is entirely safe to say that Mr. Judd dd not reveal that fact Inadvert ently. The McKinley organs have been telling their readers that the tar iff of 1S94 was constructed In the In tereets of foreign workmen. They have I claimed with especial persistence that ! the new law waB n "pudding" for the operatives of Austria nnd Germany, who were prospering mightily at tho expense of American operative. Mr. Jtuld may havo been aware of this i claim of tho McKlnleyltes. He may have revealed the alleged fact regard ( Ing reduction of wngos In Germany ; partly for tho purpose of showing that j our now tariff was not enriching Ger ; man working people to any nlnrmlng extent. j McKlnloy'B Chicago organ proceeds ' to say: j We havo "sweaters" and swentshops In Chicago, hut this Is sweating close j to the starvation point. Freo traders In UiIb country have answered with 1flrs . n1nriltn,, ,,f ,,, T,PntMm,ut w tli referonco tn Mm "nnunor lnhnr nf . . .. ..,..,.... ..,..-r. v . Europe." But Mr. Judd has injudi ciously and wantonly contributed val uable material to the rrote.ctlon litera ture that will be mado available in tho coming campaign by giving ofllclnl tes timony to the fact that there In such a thing aa the "pauper lohor of Eu rope." Here we have the old protectionist trick of setting up a free trade nitn of straw and bnttlng and punching it all over tho ring and out of nil human semblance as If It were a Hying an tagonist. No freo trader has over do nled that working people In Europe get lower money wages than working peo ple in this country get. There Is no reason why they should not admit that. They ndmlt also that tho people of Asiatic countrlcB got much lower wages than the pcoplo of European countries. Tho point that free traders make and that protectionists always dodge Is that working peoplo who get high wages havo nothing to fear from working people who got low wages, and do not need any tariff protection. Working people In free trade England get much higher wagos than working peoplo in protectionist Germany, but they beat the Germans not only in neutral mar- , ketB but even in Germany In many .tJInea of production. Euroneans trot twice as high nominal wages as Asiat ics get, yet they Bend their productB to every accessible part of Asia and sell them In competition with the prod ucts ot Asiatic "pauper labor." Even Robert P. Porter, whose stand ing as a champion of protection is not below that of McKinley, has discovered this fact. Tho protectees havo been trying to create a scare about Japan ese competition, and Porter has been to Japan to sec about it. His report to the very McKinley organ above quoted Is to the effect that western nations have nothing to fear from Japanese competition In manufactures. If the .McKinley organ were both In telligent and sincere It would accept the testimony of ItB own illustrious high tariff correspondent and not pre tend to be Ignorant of the established fact that men who get high wages have nothing to fear from the competition of men who get low wages. It would be too much to expect that a protec tionist should be able to understand why this Is so, but he ought to be hon est enough to admit a notorious fact and leave less fat-witted people to fur nish the explanation. Of course, the shrewd protectees know how it Is. Their victims and certain of their or ganists are the only ones who labor under delusion. Hopkins' Itrclprnclty Scheme. As chairman of a subsection of the ways and means committee Represent ative Hopkins of Illinois took much pains to collect the opinions of Inter ested parties about the Blaine Bcheme of commercial friendship by compul sion. The Interested parties were most ly pork packers, millers, and makers of agricultural implements and ma chinery. From such peoplo Mr. Hop kins obtained a great bulk of opinions, mostly identical in substance, and all of which could be reduced to a very few pages without material Io6s of either eenso oc force. Hopkins prepared a bill after he had accumulated his stock of Identical opin ions looking to the Immediate making of a lot of dickers similar to those of Mr. Blaine. But DIngley and the rest of the full committee sat down on that with all the crushing weight of a dozen Tom Reeds. These gentlemen were too shrewd to commit themselves to a poli cy which they knew could not be work ed again with any degree of success. They Were willing to make the most of the fruit of Mr. Hopkins' labors as campaign material for the , simple minded, but further than that they would not go. Thereupon Hopkins applied himself laboriously to the task of strinclne out ' a report of more than a hundred type written pagos. This he haa completed and the committee w!U take measures to spread it abroad among those who will admire it for its bulk, its profound Ftatlstlcal aspect and its sonorous title page, and then put It away with other profound documents, to remain unread forever. rtfy Mlftrrrs In Concrete.

Discovery of nn Intcrlptlon Thnt Chung nn Aerppted Dnte. Dr. Fuhrer, archaeological surveyor In the northwestern provinces of India, has made a discovery which beems to curry tho origin of Buddhism much farther back than tho accepted date In the fifth century beforo Christ, says the Edinburgh Scotsman. In the vil lage of NIJHva, In swamps within tho borders of the state of Nepal, he found an Asoka pillar, surrounded for half a mile by vast brick rulna of monas teries and of a still magnificent domed tomb of Konagamana. The portion of the pillar which is still erect has un Inscription establishing the fact that the Buddha commemorated Is tho same us the Konagamana of the Buddhists of Ceylon, who was the twenty-third mythical predecessor of the historical Buddha. The Napalese speak of the pillar as the smoking pipe of Bhlma Sen, their giant hero. Tho native dur bar, or council, is to bo aBked to sanc tion a scientific Instigation of the ruins of this once great settlement of the Aryan tribe of Sakyas, who settled 112 miles to the northeast of the city of Benares at a date hitherto only con jectural. Gen. Cunningham, who, un der lx)rd Canning, began the archaeo logical survey of India, long ago Identi fied KapllavaBtu, In this region, us the birthplace of the historical Gautama and the capital of the Sakya clan. It is in the 8ub-Hlmaluyan district now called Basti, and must have extended northward Into Nopal, which la still second in sacrcdncss only to Benares. Nepal has now a serious dispute with the Llama government of Lhasa on Its hands', and is always Jealous ot British or foreign visitors. But should the government of India net discourage its propobed campaign In Thibet thp dur bar may be willing to help Dr. Fuhrer to dig on a sufficiently great scale. Nepal is almost as little known as Thibet, although it is a protected state of the government of India, and It seems time that it was opened, as Kas mir has been, to the savant and the traveler.

The water In Its passage to Johnstown descended about 250 feet. The theoretical velocity duo to this de scent would be about 127 feet per sec ond or between SG and 87 miles an hour. According to tho best accounts from 15 to 17 minutes were occupied in the paFsage to JohnBtown, a distance of about twelve miles. Thus the average velocity could not have been far short of 60 miles an hour.
