C. v -Wednesday Morning. Oct. 2. 1895 7 WOOL AND PROTECTION. Judge Laurence, of Ohio, who seems to do the talking for the wool' growers of this country, still er . sists that the wool growing industry will be ruined 'without a tariff which will practically, keep foreign wools out of this market. He points, doubtless with some satisfaction, to the fact that the wool clip of this year is about 31,000,000 pounds less than that of last year, and that the number of sheep is about 3,500,000 less. This he and other protection ists attribute to the putting -of wool on the free list, which is partially true, but the advice of Judge Law rence &Co. had moreto do with the "decrease in the number of sheep and consequently with the reduction in the wool-clip than free wool bad. When the Wilson bill passed putting wool on the free list these self constituted Mentors of the shepherds of this country at once proceeded to advise them to slaughter their flocks and not to stand upon the order of the slaughtering, but slaughter before the cool weather set in, and save themselves the expense of wintering the sheep. Some, doubtless, took this advice, for about that time the Republican papers were full of announcemsnts -of the killing of vast numbers of sheep, and.of the wholesale auction of others. These announcements were, no doubt, greatly exaggerated, but it was not at all unlikely that the sheep thus ; slaughtered were enough to very materially reduce the wool clip. But however this may be the sheep slaughtering business is at an end, for the-sheep raisers have gotten over their scare and can judge of the situation for themselves. Those of them who could grow wool at a profit before wool was placed upon the free list , realize that they can still raise it at a profit not- withstanding that it is on the free list, as the bulk of the wool im ported is of a kind that does seri ously interfere with the wool that is grown in this country. They real ize, also, that nothing 'but' an absolutely prohibitive tariff would protect American wools from competition with the -wools of other countries, and make wool growing profitable in sections of the country not naturally adapted to it. The wool growers of Ohio and Michigan and such other States East of the Mississippi have' been able to grow wool at some profit because they grow a fine quality,' but "little of which was imported on account of the high duty, but this enabled the foreign manufacturers to ship manu factured goods offine quality to this country and undersell bur manufac turers, who had not the advantage of the cheaper wool that they had. The wool must be high priced and the fleeces heavy that would pay on fifty dollar lan acre pasturage where the sheep must be housed and hand fed for at least half the year. Asa proof that wool-growing on uch lands even under the protective tariff was on the wane many of the former wool-growers had ceased growing wool and turned their, at tention to raising isheep ; for mutton, the consumption of which is increas- ing largely ana rapidly. With the iv iil k infi nr c n An imwma w jz i meaty,the raiser get? a fleece of wool, and finds a profitable market tor bis mutton, t quality commands a fine: nis is exclusively a home in which there is no foreign compete tlon, it is growing and is not influ enced in any way by the flocks of other countries. This has given it a stability and a steady growth, which promises to continue until sheep raising for mutton East of the Mis stssippi will bes the regular thing with those who keep sheep, leaving wool growing to the broader -ranges and cheaper pasturage . of the Western and Southwestern States, where the , bulk of it now is. .: V V ; - ; Of the 40,000,000 of sheep in this country over one-third are in eight States west of the Mississippi, where the industry has grown rapidly be cause the climate is favorable and the pasturage abundant for large flocks, and cheap, the main expense being in employing . ; men to prevent the sheep from wandering off, and . in shearing and preparing the wool for market. In these States woolr growing as a business will continue profitable as long as the flocks have the wide range they now have, and the growers will give themselves little concern about the tariff and about the lamentations and protests of the Ohio gentlemen who are try ing to make money growing wool on fifty-dollar an acre land, instead of raising sheep for mutton, as many others are doing:, and as they even tually will have to do. V . The man who would succeed le gitimately in growing anything mast select such things, as. are adapted to the climate and other conditions of the section where he attempts to raise them and not depend upon the forced tribute imposed on his fellow citizens' to offset the disadvan tage of unfavorable climate and other unfavorable conditions, nor upon closing the gates of , the coun try against such products of other countries as might compete with his. This is what Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, and those who howl with him desire and demand. Bat oar opinion is that they will howl in vain, and that they have seen the last of that sort of imposition on the American people. " MINOR MENTION. 1 The gold organs statements of the are quoting the Director of the Mint as to the Increased production of gold to prove that there is an ample supply of that metal and no danger of giving out. According to his figures, .which are doubtless sub stantially correct, the increase, has been from $105,774,000 in 1887 to $179,965,000 in 1891 making a total increase for these eight "years of $1, 043,028,400 which would give an av erage of $130,378,550. About one half of the gold mined is used in the arts in various ways; much of it is Jcept in bullion, and coined only emergency may require, so that not more than one-half, at all events, would be coined, which would add in round figures about $65,000,000 an: nually to the currency of the-world, which wouldn't be a dollar per capita to thepopulation of the UnitedStates, alone leaving out ibf consideration all the rest of the world. The men who control the goldlmay tnink that enough, but people wio are not in terested in keepina' gold up and s.fl other kinds off money, or re presentatives of mpne, down will hardly agree with them. That the production of gold should in crease is the most-natural nd the wonder thing in the world is that it hasn't i ly, for with the eased more rapid- monetization of suver its value w; immensely in creased, which sti flated search for it and production in Dy tne open- . e ing of new and theWe opening of old mines, and the improvement of ma chinery for working the ores. But with alfethat goid enough will never be taken from the earth to supply a volume ot money sufhcientlv larce j j e- to meet the demands of the world. The ball for Cuba has been started again in Chicagol where some rous ing public meetings were held Mon day night and the Cuban sympathiz ers gave utterance to their sentiments and free vent to their enthusiasm, in whictf they also voiced the senti ments of the American- people, , who have never 'lacked in sympathy for these struggling people. The prob abilities are that similar meetings will be held in other cities, North and South, to bring influence to bear on Congress when it meets for the re cognition at least of . belligerency in Cuba, which would be but the pre lude 'to independence, for with bel ligerency recognized the fighters for freedom could command such assist ance and co-operation as would en sure success in a short while. Were it not for the V fact that this Government felt :- it .. in cumbent on it . to ,7 rigidly, maintain neutrality, and to. , keep such a close guard on our ports and coast as to prevent material assist ance being senfTto the Cubans, mey wouia long ago have had armies in the field against! which Spain would have been Enable to cope.

As a genera inmg in this country, North and South, the farms are too large, and the owners attempt to cultivate too tnuch land, the labor-saving ma fchines that most of them use enab- line them to plant and harvest a great ' many, :acres Bat they arcgone over hurrjedty and not cultivated as they should be, which is shown by the smaljjield per acre, taking tqt average for the whole country. The tendency in the South is to smaller farms, as diversified farming is making more progress, and as immigration comes in to pur-' chase parts of the large plantations, and lands held for future cultivation. The new comers, as a rule, do not purchase large tracts, , wisely decid ing upon small farms, and the good results of this wH doubtless have some influence on the cultivators of large tracts. It will take time to get down to the small farm in the South, but It will come. CURRENT COMMENT. The impossibility .of replen ishing the stock of gold in the United States Treasury from Europe is shown by the fact that it is probable that $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 will be taken .from this country during the next month bv the Rothschilds for account of Austra-Hungary and the Bank of Berlin. lfezv York Mer cury, Dejn ' Let Spain be thankful that there is a United States.

Long Island, which looks on the map like a big fish about to swallow New York city, is apparently being slowly swallowed by the ocean. Portions of its shores hqstr disappeared beneath the waves, and now the northern fork of its huge tail is vanishing. About two miles, of Orient point, that formed a sandy beach two years ago, is now under. 15 feefc,of water. The lighthouse on the point was six rods from the sea a few years ago. It has since been toppled over by the sea, and only a small part of the surrounding beach is visible. The bluffs on both tho sound and the bay side of Orient point have been sink ing at the rate of about 10 or 12 feet a year. The same state of affairs is true of Montauk point, but there the bluffs jut up so abruptly and so high above the- sea that the rising of the water is not so noticeable. A rise, of a foot or two on the low shores near Peconic bay will submerge acres of land. Much of the threatened . land on. Orient point forms fertile farms, and the steady ad vance of the shore line is causing no small concern to thejowners. The water has in several places found it .way across a low spot on the point from the sound to the bay. The result will be to ultimately divide the peninsula into a series of small islands, similar to Plum, Little Gull and Great Gull islands, all of which were doubtless once a part of the mainland and were cut off by the rise of fhe sea. The village of Orient is situated' in a particularly narrow and low portion of the peninsula, and the next serious inroad of the ocean will probably occur there. In that case 2,000 acres of land and a village of 1,000 peo ple will have to be abandoned. New York Sun. ' From Every Clime.

Jcaa ThxHlln Adventure of Long Island fruck Farmer Who Bar Hia Share of the Qualities Generally Credited to Resi dent of His Part oT the World. V "A "whaling story? Well, there's ' man7 here named Phillips, a truck farm er, and of course a whaler. .About eight years "ago he belonged to one of our boat crews. A big whale was sighted about three miles out, and the usual excite ment occurred. Every man of a crew knows his place, .and when the alarm is given he drops everything and makes for tbe beach. - t: . : : "So, at the first cry of Whale H the barber left his half shaved man in the chair, the man driving out of town drove' back again, the storekeeper deserted his customers, and everybody ran. "This truck farmer happened to be trimming some trees, and bad no coat on, though it was a pretty, cold day. He ran down' the road in his shirt sleeves, knife in hand, just as he was. If a mem-' ber of a crew isn't there, yon see, a vol unteer will get his place, and if the' whale is killed, also his share of the pro ceeds. Phillips got there. The boats were manned the oars.harpoons.lances, etc., are always kept right there under the boats for such an emergency and with the general help got safely through the combers that were rolling in from a pretty stiff sea. ;.. "Now, there's always a rivalry be tween whalemen as to getting in the first iron. The two crews were pretty evenly matched and reached ; the whale about the same time, taking either side, the whale's nose being toward shore. - It is. a trick they play on a whale, you see. ' He just lies there, looking from one to the other, as if wondering which he'd, tackle or which was liable to tackle him. - The "bowman who was to throw the harpoon was as much excited in one boat as in the other. Both threw at onceT and both fell short yes, and both boats were swamped at exactly the same moment The whale was so surprised to see everything suddenly disappear on both sides of him that he never stirred. It was a nasty situation. - "Phillips wa thrown out of the boat right up against the side of the mon ster. Phillips was excited, and being a truck farmer from Long- Island, hated to go out three miles and get only a wetting. He had the pruning knife in his overalls, and while every other man was trying to right the boats he drewr this knife and struck the whale a terri ble blow just back of his left flipper and killed it . , - "Yes, that single blow killed it, but a whale never dies right away when he gets a death blow. Phillips didn't want to lose his knife, and he could not pull it out" While he was hanging on to it the whale dived to the bottom of the ocean, taking Phillips along with it You never heard of a Long Islander let ting go of anything voluntarily that had money in it, so Phillips held on. . The whale soon came to the surface, or else the man would have been drowned, and as soon as he came up ho made for the open sea, dragging Phillips alongside. "The whale never stopped until he got ten miles out, where he rolled over on his side, as dead as a salted mackerel. Now, Phillips was sticking on the star board side, you see, and when the whale rolled over the other way it brought the truck farmer on the npper side, and on a moderately firm footing. To be sure of not slipping off, he took off- his sus penders and tied himself to his knife, still fast behind tho starboard fin, and then wen to sleep. "Well, sir, a 6hip came along and found the manthero asleep on top cf the whale. The skipper hailed Phillips and woke him up. , 'What're ye doing there?' he says. " 'Sleeping,' says Phillips. ''D'ye want to buy a whale?' "The skipper was a Yankee and saw that there was money in this job; so he offered to rescue the truck farmer and take him back to Southampton.for noth ing for whatever interest he had in the whale. " 'Not a cent less than $250 will Duy me off," said Phillips. . . " 'Then stay on, said the skipper, and he squared braces and soiled away, leaving Phillips where he was. He was a plucky man, and he knew what a whale was worth. And he said to him self, 'I'll stick -to my whale till I get my price, if I have to live on blubber all summer,' and then he cut out a chunk for a lunch. "But he was right in the track of ves sels and was finally picked up at a bargain by a whale ship just going around to Bering sea, and they took ins the oil and bone aad paid Phillips a big salary to go along more than he could make by his truck farm and summer' boarders in five years. The skipper rea soned that a man who could go out and kill a whale alone with a ornnimrtnifn and had pluck enough to stick to his find -mntil he sold it, would be a good man to take on the voyage. And he was right, for the vessel had the biggest kind of luck, and came home full of oiL The .share of the truck farmer gave him a good start, and he invested it in a sand rank and sold out to New Yorkers for country seats.. "He lives over yonder in that pretty cottage, but you'll know him by a scar on his nose, where the whale scraped .him on the bottom' of the ocean eight years ago. "New York Herald.
