WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, n. C. Wedttesday Mokntkg, Jajt. 14. FREE SAW MATERIAL- ThA woollen manufacturers of this country, and of New England in nartiftiilAr. want free wool, and they ought to hare it. The boot and shoe makers of this conntry, but especially of New England, want free hides and leather, and they ought to hare them. The woollen manufacturers imported last year something over 161,000,000 pounds of wool because they couldn't get the kind they wanted at home, or a sufficient quantity of it. Therefore they imported and paida duty of 11 cents a pound on what they im . ported. A treaty was negotiated some time ago for reciprocity with Argon s' tina, which prorides for a twenty per cent, reduction in the doty on wool, but the Senators who - represent wool-growing constitu encies are opposed to that treaty on account of the concession to Argen tine wool. They assert that this wool would compete in this market with home-grown , wool .: and there fore they sxe opposed to it in the : interest of home wool-growers, while , the advocates of it say it would i not, and therefore they are in favor . -of it in the interest of the woollen manufacturer, who needs Argentine wool in his business. But whether it would compete with American wool or not the American manufacturer should hare it not only in his interest but in the interest of the American people who buy woollen goods and wear woollen garments. It may seem somewhat elfish and inconsistent in the wool len manufacturer to clamor for free raw material while he insists onTpro tectum on his manufactures, but if he had free wool he would hare less reason and less excuse to clamor for protection for then he would be put upon the same plain with his foreign competitors as to the cost of the raw materials and would be in a bet ser position to compete with them m the world's markets. As it is, while the American mannfactu rer has a duty to pay upon wool and his foreign competitors has no duty the foreign competitor has the advantage of him and can suc cessfully compete with him in his own home market on certain lines of all wool goods. We import an nually a large amount of woollen goods from Europe for this very reason, classes of goods in which our manufacturers cannot or do not compete with the manufacturers of -England or Germany, for instance. In some lines of manufactures our manufacturers can and do compete because they have protection and resort to the process of mixing wool with cotton and shoddy, thus mak ing an article that looks well and can be sold mmnarafi'veW ntinon J VUWil In these lines the foreign manufac l turers cannot compete because they have not caught on to the methods unplug ma uperuy as our manu facturers can, who have got that business down so fine that it takes an expert to tell the difference be tween a shoddy fabric and the genuine woollen article. The argument advanced to justify a protective duty on wool is that it stimulates wool-growing and the raising of sheep, neither of which is strictly true. It may possibly stim ulate ths growing of certain kinds of wool for which there is an active de mand and which on account of its scarcity commands high prices, but it does not stimulate wool-growing nor sheep-raising generally, both of which are dependent upon condi tions that have no connection with the tariff. In some sections of the country sheep are raised more for the mutton than for the wool. If they were raised for the wool alone it would not pay in those sections, but with the wool and the mutton, too, it does pay when proper attention is given to caring for the sheep. That the high tariff on wool does not stimulate sheep-raising and wool-growing generally is shown by the fact that there are not as many sheep in this country now as there" were seven years ago, although the industry has had the benefit of pro duction all that time. There are something over 100,000 less, and the probabilities are that unless at tention be turned to that industry mine south, there will be fewer sheep seven years hence than there are now, for the sheep ranges of the West are becoming annually more contracted wit.li fh fou.. u Government lands and the con version -of the wide ranges into farms. It may he incidentally noted - in this connection that there would -have been a greater decline in the number of sheep if it had not been for the increase in the v States west of ;: the Mississippi and .Missouri rivers, as there has been! a reduction . in all the States east of those rivers, with the possible exception, we be- M lira HVl. ' . . I v4 vm, it acre some atten tion has 6een given to the raising of high-bred sheep and fine wooL As . these sheep axe bxed not only for wool but for sale as stock improvers, it pays the breeders, although they carry on the busineson pretty high No man can raise ordinary Hjeep on $100 an acre land and make it pay, tariff or no tariff, if he depends upon the wool for his profits. Sheep can be grown at a profit - on the wide ranges of the West and South west, tariff or no tariff, because pas; turage is cheap, so cheap as to amount to next to nothing; the chief expense being the herding and protection from depredating ani mals, thieves and storms late in the year- But, as we have remarked, these pasture lands are becoming annually more, contracted, and it not will be many years oeiore sneep raising as it is now carried on out there will have ceased to bo one of the industries of that section, where it will be practically on the same footing as it is in the older States, a few sheep, perhaps, on the farm, but no great flocks as there have been and are now. But the protec tionists will want to keep up tne tariff all the same. A FEARFUL OBJECT LES30H. : In the present coal famine, and the great and widespread - suffering resulting from it, the American people have a fearful object lesson on the power of combines when aid ed by a protective tariff . There is not a city in the Northern or West ern States in which there is not more or less suffering from this cause, while in some thousands of people are suffering intensely and liable to perish from cold, because there is no coal or other fuel ob tainable, and no hope that any will be soon. This is a horrible situa tion, with the weather intensely cold, when it is difficult even with a supply of fuel to keep the average house comfortable. Aside from the discomfort and suffering resulting from this scaroi ty of coal some of the more terrible results are given in the recent re port of the Chicago Board of Health which says that 200,000 people in that city are actually suffering from cold while the death rate, princi pally children and aged and infirm persons, is 37 per cent greater than lor the corresponding week a year ago, due entirely to the scarcity of fuel, and hence it makes the fearful indictment against those responsi ble for the fuel shortage that they are guilty of "constructive homi cide" for every death resulting from this cause. And yet when Congress is peti tioned to suspend the tariff duty on coal and Senators and Representa tives who sympathize with the suf feringpeople move in that direction they are met with obstruction from representatives of the coal barons, who try to stave off action indefi nitely, i If the men indicted by the Chicago Board of Health are guilty oi "constructive homicide, so are these agents in Congress of the coal mine operators who are opposing and putting impediments in the way of opening our ports to the .coal of other countries, to relieve the famine, which is becoming daily more seri ous. With them the will of the coal barons is more potent than the cry of distress from millions of people. A 80P TO A BOSTON HEQBO. It is given out that the appoint ment of a negro as Assistant U. S District Attorney in Boston was at the suggestion of President Boose velt. That announcement was en tirely unnecessary for every one knows that this appointment would not have been made if he did not de sire it, and it would not have been made at all if the pertinent inquiry had not been so frequently made since the appointment of Cram to the Collectonhip of Charleston, why Mr. Roosevelt did not appoint some negroes to office in Northern cities. He thought it good politics to an swer that inquiry by appointing a negro, and therefore selected the city in which he took it for granted there would be the least objection to such an appointment, which is con siderably different, however, from a collector of customs, postmaster. Ac, because an assistant district at torney's duties are confined to the IT. S. court and he comes in contact but little with the public generally. But by the appointment Mr. Roosevelt makes it appear that he does not confine his official favors to Southern negroes, in the South but goes across the line to "treat all alike" and cater to the negro vote and sentiment in the North. He was playing his peculiar poli tics, a game so thin that a tyro in politics can see through it. ' But even then he was forced to this or some other negro appoint ment in the North after his appoint ment of Crum in Charleston in the face of the general opposition, for he had so unqualifiedly committed him self on thatUne that to have remain ed deaf co there frequent inquiries would have exposed his insinceritv and convicted him of inconsistency. Now since he has to some extent offset Crum in Charleston with Lewis in Boston he will orobahlT holdup for awhile on the appoint ment of negroes to office at least in the Iforth. - ' Last year the British publishing houses published twenty books for every forking day in. the yearl" This looks like working the British reading public pretty hard.

Caldwell, who a special from Greensboro states is in jail there at the Instance of the Com missioner for violatlnr the insurance laws, said that Caldwell has been pre tending to operate for the National Protective Association. His plan has been to form lodges or negroes and agree to issue policies for amounts varying from $50 to $1,000. Accord ins to Ualdwell, the business grew so rapidly that he was obliged to change the name oi the organisation to the rather lengthy, not to sav pretentions one of "The National Union Educa tiona), Industrial and Manufacturing Association." He was president of the lonr-named concern, and one R. .C. Moore was secretary. Caldwell has a record. In 1898 he was sent to the penitentiary from Cumberland county for five years for carrying on the same kind of business. In January, 1901, he was pardoned oat by Gov.

Caldwell organized lodges at Gibsonvllle, Elon College, Pleasant Lodge in Chatham county, and number of other placet. He generally received from $50 to $150 from a lodge. CURRENT COMMENT We hear It, via Chicago,.that President Roosevelt is bent on push' ing anti-trust legislation. But even that won't scare the trusts. They are secure with the Republican party in power. A ugusta Chronicle, JJem. No great consternation is likely to be caused in the camp of the trusts by Senator Hoars speeches, however true or impas sioned, but the venerable statesman is not likely to be punished for his temerity. If pressed too hard, he could tell the name of the distin guished Senator who expressed re jret that slavery was abolished. "A ittle knowledge is a dangerous thing." Norfolk Landmark, Dem. . o - - - Senator Hoar's (Trust) bill is decidedly impracticable, but a good deal of valuable Congressional time will be wasted in arguing its various provisions pro ana con, when the immediate incorporation oi a few" 'of Attorney-General Knox's common sense ideas as expressed to the judiciary committee -into the laws of the land would go a long war towards speedily settling this vexatious problem.

Dangerous Fe&t of a Daring Bicycle Rider The idea of diving on a bicycle origt-' nated with a bright and clever Roman youth of twenty-two named Umberto Dinmnti-a feat which called for iierve and daring of a high order, to gether with the ability of a powerful and rapid swimmer, says Pearson's Magazine. The idea was to ride along the top of the artificial embankment of the Tiber and plunge Into the river beyond. The direr must retain con trol over the machine not only after leaving terra firms and plung ing dizzily into midair, but also during the awful and breath catch ing descent to the surface of the water. After sinking deep down with the machine he must swim to land with it a most awkward and even dangerous "rescue" to ef fect when be yond one's depth. Thus it may be ' seen that the contest was one which called for more than the average amonnt I or physics en durance, as well as "Xor a steady head and un shaken nerve. A very Inter ns t i n g contest was arranged between young Dlamantl as a cyclist and his (rival, Borghi, oa I 'foot. This weird and extremely novel race was easily won by the Iron nerved cyclist, both as regards time and clean lumping. There was tremendous excitement Just before the race came off, and dense crowds lined the high embank ment that skirts the Tiber. The ex citement was quite at fever heat when the order was given, "Go!" and both cyclist ana root runner started on at a terrific pace. It seemed hardly possible that any sane man could deliberately " ride a bicycle over so appalling a prec ipice; but, what is much more remark able, Signor Dlamantl not only did this, but actually retained his presence of mind throughout the entire "descent through the air as well as on striking the water, and even beneath the sur face, for he brought his troublesome taount to land with little or no exertion imld the frantic applause of the spec tators above. .
