TWO SIDES TO THE WOOL QUESTION.
There are two sides to the wool ques
tion , represented by the growers and the
manufacturers. The former think they
need more protection than that given by
the Dingley bill , and grumble about the
decline that has taken place within
twelve months. The manufacturers
think that the tariff on wool is too
high , but they are largely intimidated
by the threat that free wool means free
woolens that if the tax on the raw ma
terial be removed or reduced there must
be a corresponding reduction in the
duty ou manufactures of wool.
Meantime the present high duty on
raw wool is producing the effect which
has often been pointed out by free trad
ers. The high duties on imported wool
ens exclude them as elements of competi
tion except by the payment of greatly
advanced prices. But there is no way
to force people to buy woolen goods if
they are unwilling to pay the price.
Higher prices , other things being equal ,
mean reduced consumption. In the case
of woolens , the manufacturers are com
pelled to meet the demand for goods at
a moderate price , and they can only dose
so by a deterioration of the products.
Hence , the increased rise of cotton and
shoddy in the manufacture of so-called
woolens.
It thus happens that the existing situ
ation is unsatisfactory both to the grow
ers and manufacturers , while the con
sumers are compelled to content them
selves with fabrics that are only nomi
nally of wool or to pay higher prices for
the genuine article. The growers think
they would be beuefitted by higher du
ties ou the raw materials , while the
manufacturers , who would like a reduc
tion , are afraid to insist on it for fear of
the consequences. The growers com
mand so much more political influence
that they have the manufacturers at
their mercy , so far as the law is con
cerned , though they cannot stop the
operation of natural laws or prevent the
manufacture and sale of adulterated
woolens. Louisville Courier-Journal.
THAT SWITCH.
EDITOR THE CONSERVATIVE :
Yesterday there came to my home a
copy of THE CONSERVATIVE. I read the
same with interest. Your article , "A
Mere Riding Whip , " was a happy com
ment on the proverb : "Despise not the
day of small things. " I shall avail my
self of the illustration.
"A Pioneer Letter" is not only inter
esting as a recital of the events of early
years in Nebraska , but the cheerful and
happy spirit that breathes through it ,
the merry touches of life given in it ,
the sympathy with and appreciation of
nature , so touohingly expressed , gives a
pleasure to its perusal not found in per
sonal correspondence today. I enter ,
with some degree of genuine sympathy ,
into the thought you so beautifully ex
press in the last paragraph : "But her
influence upon the Homo she so bravely
aided to establish , remains in immortal
strength , and its trees , its flowers , its
books and pictures are her constant
eulogists. " These words are meaning
ful to me , having had , through your
courteous kindness , the privilege of
seeing these "eulogists. "
May I not say another thing , sugges
ted by the loyal , loving , reference you
make in the words : "The author of
them , the mother of Joy , Paul , Mark
and Carl Morton" may I not say that
these noble men are the monuments she
has erected to the memory of her own
real greatness and goodness ? Not less ,
too , would she appreciate the loving
honor paid her by the companions of her
early and "pioneer" life. I ani glad to
read the words of the pastor who spoke
at the funeral of your son , Carl , and ,
though "surely there must be a larger ,
better life beyond , " what a folly and a
farce to live a life so full of promise , and
have so disappointing an end. True , he
still lives in precious memory , but , more
than that alone , he lives. I am no senti
mentalist , but my reason , as well as my
heart , demand , for those departed ones ,
a larger chance than this life's brief day
affords. You shall see , again , your
loved ones. Yours sincerely ,
P. O. JOHNSON. *
