EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. 0., Jan. 6, ’90.
DEAR GAZETTE: Congress recomrnenced
business at. the old stand today at high
noon. " ire committee on ways and means
ias i.eiti stssior.s throughout the recess,
and has il.rtl several hearings, notably on
the iron and wool questions. Editor
Ellendort’. of the Mechanics’ Journal,
should not fail to come on here, if no one
else is to Come. and appear before the com—
mittee, as he is undoubtedly better posted
on the hat question as related to the tariff
than any man in New England. All the
committee wants, to do justice to our
manufacturing interests in their efforts to
properly adjust the tariff features of tireir
new revenue hill, is correct and unbiased
information. The wool-growers had quite
a lively circus before the committee on
Friday. Among other witnesses “as a
Mr. Shepherd-an appropriate name by
the way—a wool grower from ‘i‘exas.
Free trader. Mr Carlisle of the committee
took his democratic brother from the
Lone Star state in this wise:
——How many sheep iraVe you? .\ —
About 18,000
Q. How much land do you use? A.—
Eigtrty thousand acres.
Q —W hat is that land worth per acre?
A.——The Governrnentlaud is worth $2 per
ilCl'e.
Q.-—How many acres are required for
the care of one sheep? A.—Ab.rut five
3181135.
Q.——You have set out quite a number of
advantages which your part of the coun—
try posSesses for the production of carpet
Wool, and yet you say that, notwithstand-
in;r these advantages, you cannot produce
it; without adequate protection. What
rate of duty do you consider adequate
protection? A.——l£nough to raise the price
of carpet wool to the price of fine wool.
Q.—Is it your idea that the Government
should impose a duty that would enable
you to have as much profit on carpet wool
as on fine wool? A.—I would like the
same duty on eVery pound of wool.
i}.——What do you mean by the same
duty? A.—I mean that one class of wool
should paytlie same duty as another class.
I would have the same duty on all \t'orrl,
say ten cents a pound.
By Mr. Gear—What would hare i
the effect on the wool—growing l)ll:‘lllt'.~.~ in
Texas if the Mills’ bill had gone into ('i-
feel? .-\..—-‘.Ve would all have gone out. of
the busimss, I reckon.
By Mr. Bayne—Arc the farmers and
"Atrttl growers of Texas generally in favor
of protection? A. - i cannot Speak for the
farmers. I know 11...; the Wool growers
are. .
Q.—-\\'itl.-out regard to party? A.~— Ye
::tt' going to drop the question of party.
lly .llr. Mills—Did not you try a little of
that philosophy last campaign? A.——;\_lot
as much as I wish we had done. There
wasanolher feature of that campaign——
3'):Itilil)llll)ll*—\\'lll(.'ll elected some gentle—
men.
By Mr. Breckinridgc—Is the Democra-
r‘y of" 'i‘exas strongly in favor of prohibi-
tion? A.—No, sir. I am sorry to say that
the Democracy of TL‘XaS is in favorof free
whiskey. [Laughterz] I am a Prohibi-
tionrst myself. We did not try to eeri-
traiiZe the wool interest in the last cam—
paign, but the next time we will try.
Mr. Mills put a series of questions to
make the Witness admit that the ten cents
a pound duty on wool was the protection
of capital, not of labor, which was being
robbed, he Stritl to that extent. The wit-
ness replied. with much warmth, that he
would like to rob, not the poor man, but
tire if :h man, such as Congressmen and
Senators, who were robbing the sheep
raisers by not. giving them their dues.
He drclared that he was a Democrat—all
but free trade. ile could not stand that.
He had voted for President Cleveland the
fin-t time, and would have voted frl’ trim
the second time if he trad not sought to
slaughter sheep raiscrs for the sake of free
trade.
The Hon. William Lawrence, of Ohio,
sriri that wool growers generally believtd
that a sound policy required the imposi-
tion or such a duty on so-called carpet
Wool as would in due time enable Ameri-
can wool growers to produce all the wool
required for consumption in the United
States, shutting out foreign importations,
and giving to the American w0ol growers
the privilege of supplying all the carpet
wool required for consumption here. He
said that the duties which he had been
instructed by the Naticnal Wool Growers’
AssOciation to ask to have inserted in the
bill were not at all prohibitory and only
to a limited extent protective. He made
the point that if the carpet manufacturer
had an adequate compensating duty on
carpets, as the wool grower asked he
should have, a protective duty on the
wool could not injure him. An adequate
duty on wool and manufactured woollen
goods would not ultimately increase the
cost at all, because home competition
would prevant unreasonable charges,
while,- if the protective policy were
abandoned, and all such products were
imported from abroad, the result would
be that the American people would be at
the mercy of foreign trusts and corpora-
lions.
Mr. Carlisle—Tlrat argument: rests on
the assumption that the home industry
would be abandoned.
the Witness—Yes, the effect of the tar-
iff of 1883 has been to cut down vastly the
number of our sheep, and, With free wool,
the wool industry would be practically
abandoned in the United States.
Mr. William Whitman, of Boston, pres-
ident of the National Assocration of Wool
Manufacturers, presented amemorial and
resolutions adopted by that association.
)l‘t'il
After a long examination the witness,
was asked by Mr. Breckinridge whether,
if the wool manufacturers of the United
States had free wool, they could enlarge
their market by sales to foreign countries,
and he replied that under no circumstances
NORWALK GAZETTE, "WEDNESDAY JANUARY 8, 1890.
' would free wool enable wool manufactur-
‘ ers to make an impression on the foreign
markets.
Mr. 1‘. C. Search, Of Philadelphia,
_representing the lllanufacturers’ Club of
i that city, declared himself in harmony
' with the views expressed by the last wit-
ness, and argued to prove that. the duty on
yarns and woollen clothes should be just
four times as great as the duty on unwash-
ed wool, which was uow,tcn cents per
pound—with 50 and 50 per cent, addition-
al ad valorcm. ,
Mr. John F. Piumrner, of New York,
made some remarks on the subject of
woollen fabrics worn by men, and said
that he did so not as a manufacturer, nor
as a wool grower, but as an enthusiast. in
favor of American wool products. The
country Was suffering under a popular
prejudice that better clothes could ire got
abroad than here at the same price. I-Ie
declared that there was no country where
a man could get as good a suit of clothes
for as little money as in the United States.
Mr. Mills’ greatest quandary now is to
know how the witness Shepherd could
live in Texas, he a democrat, and yet a
prohibitionist and a protectionist.
NAVAL AFFAIRS.
The great interest. taken in naval affairs
during the past two or three years Seems
likely to be eclipsed in 1890. The author-
izing of eight new battle ships and five
torpedo boats marks a distinct era. in
United States naval history. From sneers
at our feebleness, foreign critics have re-
eentlybtcome deeply interested in all that
pertains to our naval progress. Tire new
armored sea-going vessels will bring us in
line as a naval power. At present we have
no such ships, while England has seven-
ty-six such craft, either built, building or
projected; France, fifty-seven, Russia,
forty-nine; Germany, forty; Italy, nine-
teen; Norway and Sweden; twenty; Aus-
tria, tWelve; and even Turkey and China
seven. ’l‘irese vessels are exclusive of
uuarniored cruiSers, corresponding to the
sort of ships we have been building rc-
ceutly.
A GOOD srorar.
When the President’s grant lather, Gen.
William Henry ilarrison vas making his
run for the presidency, the popular bev-
erage adopted to meet a campaign fling of
the democrats, was cider, and wherever
a campaign log cabin was erected and a
coon-skin exposed to the public gaze.
there could be found the barrel 0r barrels
Of cider. To a man on foot the liquor was
easy of access, and the pedestrians could
ladle up all they wanted, brit the llOt‘Sc—
men were at a disadvantage. To effect
this the North Carolina horsemen armed
themselves with gourds‘elong stemmed
and capacious at the bulbous end. \Vith
this they could reach to the bottom of the
barrel if necessary without getting out of
the saddle. One of the president’s North
(.‘arolrna admirers has sent him one of
these gourds of the Vintage of 1840, and
it now decorates the mantel in Secretary
llalford’s room.
PERSONALS.
The most prominent personal is that
about everybody here has the grippe.
General Hawlcy remained here with his
family during the recess. Senator Platt
came back from Connecticut on Saturday.
Congressman Russell has appointed as
clerk of the Printing Committee, of which
he is chairman, Mr. Frank W. Scoflcl'l, of
Killingly. Mr S. is a printer of clerkly
abilities and has a hard worked commit-
tee to run.
Mrs. E. P. Weed and her son Edward,
called on Mrs. Dr, Barbour, ’l.‘hursday,
while err-route to Atlanta, Georgia, where
Mrs. W. goes to visit a niece
“Herb” Matthcwson of the firm of
Lounsbury, lllatthcwsou A: 00., was here
last week looking after the shoe interests
of that large and prosperous firm. Mr.
Eugene Fancher, of Bridgeport, and form-
erly of Norwalk, was also here attending
to his large sale trade here.
Judge Kelly and Err—Speaker Randall,
all of Pennsylvania, are both dangerously
ill from cancer of the throat, somewhat
similiar to Gen. Grant’s malady, and may
say induced by the same cause, excessive
smoking.
The recovery of young Abraham Lin.
coin, son of Minister Lincoln, is of slow
progress, but the doctors look upon it as
a. sure thing. Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln and
their daughter Will remain at Versailles
until the boy is able to be moved.
Mr. and Mrs. A. Solmans arrived here
last week. Mr. S. had to return to Nor-
walk, but Mrs. S. is to remain here until
Wednesday.
Edward F. Ayres, of Connecticut was
to-day appointed fourth assistant examin-
er in the Patent Office at $1,200.
The public parks of the city are all em—
bowered in the blooms of white and ycl-
low jessaruinc and red flowing quince, as
profusely as in May. As Ever, B.
No written tribute to the worth and
character of Edith Ambler; no eloquence
of funeral oratory; no tender words of
sympathy or consolation, could so touch-
ingiy or so powerfully give cxpressron to
the high esteem in which she was affection-
ately held, as the eloquence of tears evoked
by her sad and sudden death. When that
bright and beautiful young life went out, a
gloom settled over the community that
saddened even those who knew her not.
She had nobly observed the rule of life so
beautifully expressed in an ancient injunc-
tion—in effect; : We come into the world
weeping while those around us smile. Let:
us strive so to live that; we may go out of
it smiling while all around us weep._—-—
Record.
Edward Lines ‘of Norwalk, who was ar-
rested Saturday evening for refusing to
pay for his supper at the Central House.
was found when he arrived at police head-
quarters -to have a .fractured ankle, and he
was taken to the hospital. The ankle, is
supposed to have been broken when Linen
fell on the floor in the Central House pre-
vious to being arrested—Palladium.
The New Court of Burgesses.
The new borough board, in solemn cou-
clavc assembled, is a handsome, capable '
and dignified deliberative body, and as
the members sat in session in the bor‘Ongh
room for the first time on Monday even- .
ing, not one in the consider ‘ble audience
present but vieWed them with. admiration.
Warden John [1. Lee sat, where Mae-
gregor should, attire head of the table, 3
and presided over the deliberations with t
that. gentle, modest dignity that has
always characterized him; his eVery
ruling and suggestion being put. with an
ingenuous and irresistible tact that happily
combines social etiquette with parliamen-
tary rigor. It is plain to be seen he will
circumscribe the latitude of digression
from business, and will countenance no
nonsense.
Burgess Sloan, the senior of the board,
brings to the court an experierrc . gained
in service, which is valuable for having
been acquired .during the past year and in
matters with which the present court will
have more or less directly to deal. He
says littlelexcepting in the line of sugges—
tion, and votes as he thinks.
I
General Couch, second hurgess, is the
oldest member at the table. He keeps a
close watch upon all buslrress paSSed
upon and insists upon having light on all
matters that come up which are not
quite clear to him. He is conservative
and acts upon the motto of Davy Crock-
ett: “Be sure you’re right, then go ahead."
Charles Glover, third burgess. is the
quietest member of the board, but. doesn’t
hesitate to speak out when he thinks it
necessary to enjoin his associates to 20
slow and not do any knitting that will
have to be raveled out and done over.
Isaac L’owe, fourth burgess, possesses,
in a greater degree than any other mem-
ber, the physical proportions of the ideal
Alderman. He sits at the left Of the War- ;
den, watches closely the proceedings,
volunteers an occasional suggestion and
hits the bullseye every time he votes. He
is chairman of the police committee,wlricli
is a guaranty that our new peace guar-
dians will be Well looked after

In the opinion of a moutby Texas mirr-

minister would have to go back farther than
that in ancient history to find his own
equal, and then he would find him in the

Editor Bolles, of the New Milford Ga.-

lated to prove that farming does not pay,
concludes thus:
I
At present the farmers are not prosper-
ous; and it is idle for superircral writers in
their treatment of the matter to maintain
that “everything is lovely and the goose
hangs high” when hard facts prove the con—
trary.

The removal of Chief of Police John S.
Lockwood is Simply one of the vicissitudes
of politics. Not even one of the burgesses
who voted to retire him would say aught
against his integrity as a. man or his effi-
ciency as an officer, and the Chief retires
with the consciousness of duty well perform-
ed and with the respect and esteem of the
community in which for so many years he
has maintained peace and order.
