The Bellefontaine Republican, 1898-11-01

Camp Poland, Knoxville, Tenn., Oct 24, 1898. Editor Republican: As we view the events of the put six months of our national history we have reason to be filled with pride we have cause for jo. We have reason to be proud of the name of American eitisen: we have cause lor joy in this that our arms have tn so short a time been victorious over a great army of a great power and have oeen the means of giving to down- rodden humanity their rights among he people of the larth. We have reason to rejoice that we are part of that great structure of national government whose chief corner atone if Liberty, and from whose four walls ihine the cardinal principle! of popular (government, Union, equity, patriotism and education. For more than a century in the most active and changeable times of the world's history this grand structure has stood, the marvel of the world, un unchanged - changed unchanged except for our aggrandinnent Foreign foes have attacked us only to suffer ignominious defeat; internal strife has arisen, out of which emerged this structure, baptized in tbe blood of a million of ber loyal sons, more firmly ounded and -with a new lesson for the world. Today we stand in the closing bonra of war and see the dying agony of a nation which once waa among the greatest of the world. Today we see our nation jrrown from a colonial government ot thirteen colonies along the Atlantic seaboard to a great nation whose rights none dare dispute and whose power . none dare deny. We point with bonest pride at tbe chievements of the past few months. Not only has our territory been extend ed but onr influence upon the future History of the world bas been enlarged. Sawaii is ours. On us depende the ad advancement, - vancement, advancement, civilization and Chriatian- zation of her citizens and from here aa center wi'l go out a light which while howing forth the glory of American titizenebip will be the mesne ot civil ii ii-r - r ii-r the inhabitants of the islands of tbe eas. Porto Rico is ours and here onr flag having been planted we, will plant by ts side aa ita protector onr free public -school system that the rising gene rations may grow up an honor to their state and a defense to the liberty with which they are clothed. On free Cuba we will exert our irflu irflu-ice. - ice. irflu-ice. Her commercial relatione with the world will be changed and where once waa ignorance and indolence will echo be sounds of industry guided by the band of knowledge. Her .valleys once scenes of desolation ana deam will be dotted with producing farms and healthy homes and thrift, guided by the influence of Americanism will abound in ber borders. In the Philippines our flag bas been planted and there we will destroy tbe power of ignorance and superstition and set op the throne at which all will pay homage to education, justice and light. Here again starts tbe circumforence of civilization. Aa the sun travels from east to west so baa civilisation grown: Babylon, Greece, Borne, France and Germany, England and America. From continent ' to continent Bhe leaped across lofty mountain ranges and raging oceans. Close on ber heels baa followed circumference of decline. Hay onr nation be freed from ita power. Today 'here stands a new circumference which will go round the world bearing with it the influence and power of Americanism. In the light ot this, who will dare to Bay the Spanish-American war waa a failure. Nations, aa individuals, have their work o perforn in this great throbbing world in which they are. Let ns see to it that citizsna of the grandest nation on God's footstool we strive to keep ber ood name untarnished by giving to her our most loyal support in good citizen citizenship - ship citizenship and good government. Our flag, representative of liberties, bequeathed to na by the Buffering pa patriots - triots patriots of revolutionary times, enlarged and strengthened by patriota of later -lays, has been planted on foreign shorts uid in the islands of the seas. 8o firmly bas it been planted that the powers of the earth dare nut attrck it, for back of it lies an intelligent patriotism ever ready and willing to defend it from each and every attack. Oar flag bas been planted where tbe un in its daily course never ceases to shine in its glorious folds and by tbe loyalty of a liberty loving people shall it continue to shine till peace and freedom hall bless the world. This is one great effect of the war waged for humanity by a united' nation of free and liberty loving people. D. A. Ligoitt, Co. F, 2nd O. V. I. Queen Victoria, though her views on the question of divorce are well-known, has only very recently given them offi official - cial official expression. This expression, con condensed, - densed, condensed, shows her "totally averse to divorce nnder any circumstances what whatsoever," - soever," whatsoever," and ber strong disapproval ia due to the liberty which divorces give divorced people to marry again. Too much remarriage, no matter what were the grounds of divorce, she ia unaltera unalterably - bly unalterably opposed. This explains tbe objec objection - tion objection the queen has always manifested to the appearance of divorced women at court.

AND WOOL. How TarrTLaw Has Put Money Into Farmers' Pockets. WOOLEN GOODS NO HIGHER. While Sheep Have Gone Up In Price In the United States They Have De Declined - clined Declined In Value In the Mar Markets - kets Markets of the World For a Very Potent Reason. In 1895, the year after the Democrat ic tariff bill became a law, Ohio X wool, a standard grade, sold for 16 cents a pound. In September, 1896, with the election of McKinley as pres ident a strong probability, the same grade of wool sold for 17 cents a pound. It went up 2 cents a pound on the election ot McKinley and the cer certainty - tainty certainty of a protectve tariff, and today the same grade of wool is selling at 26 cents, a pound or 10 cents a pound more than under the Democratic ad administration. - ministration. administration. The domestic clip of wool for 1898 was 265,000,000 pounds. An increase of 10 cents a pound on that quantity of wool would mean $26,600,000 in increase - crease increase in value to the farmers of the United States on their wool alone this year as the result of the electioa of a Republican president and congress, to say nothing of the increase in the value of the sheep and by-products. "Are woolen goods any higher now than under the Wilson law?" was the inquiry made yesterday of a large clothing manufacturing -establishment. "Speaking generally, I should say no," was the reply. "The woolen cloth ing worn by the great mass of the people was never sold for less than it is today. Some of the finer grades may be a little higher." And that wonderful result is ac complished by the fact that never since the year 1847 have the imports of woolen manufacturers been so small as in the last fiscal year. There never has been since 1847 such a large proportion of the goods consumed in the United States manufactured at home nor so few manufactured by for foreign - eign foreign mills, as will be seen by the fol lowing table for five-year periods, and for the last three years: Manufactures of wool (Including shoddy, noils, waste, etc.) Tear.

While sheep have gone up in price in the United States they have de clined in value in the markets of the world. In England today Shropshire wools cost the British manufacturer about 17 cents for fleece washed, or 23 tents scoured, while if imported under the Dingley tariff act their cost to the American manufacturer would be 30 cents for fleece washed or 40 cents scoured. If we had no tariff the competition or n.ngnsQ bnropsmro wool wouia cause the value of American quarter- ! blood wool today to be about 14 cents tor unwashed, instead of the present vricn of 21a22c, or about 17 cents for fleece washed instead of the present P""1 of 28 cents, or about 23 cents for secured, instead of the present price of 37. It has been claimed that the light imports of woolen manufactures In the fiscal year 1898 were but the natural sequence of the heavy ante-tariff 1m- J portations of the preceding year, but, 1897 under the Wilson law, and even $1,500,000 less than the average of the four years under the McKinley law (which preceded the free-wool meas measure) - ure) measure) in fact, the average of the wool en textile importations of 1897 and 1898 is less than for any year since 1879. Wool's Stronc Position. "It is difficult to see," said Mr. Jus tice yesterday, "how the position of wool itself could be stronger. During the year ending June 30, 1893, the quantity withdrawn from bonded warehouses tor consumption was less than that of any year since 1885, and already much ot the 60,000,000 pounds held in bond on June 30 has been hipped for resale abroad.
