Replying to some strictures that we uttered concerning Chairman Hmoulter's demagogical appeal to the socialistic, free-booter class who want to rob the Drosnerous bv means of an income tax, the Wilkes-Barre News dealer says that "The Tribune is true to the cause It has always es poused. It would have the Door man pay the taxes and the rich escape the burden." It would have nothing of tue Eina ana the News-Dealer knows it. It would have the rich and noor taxed by a single percentage, so that neuner couia escape bearing a fair snare of the expense of government While pretending to fleht class leiris- lation the Democratic party offers, In me income tax, the most outrageous specimen of deliberate and premedi tated class legislation on record in the peace annals of this nation. Hill's Hour of Triumph. Had Senator , Hill not been a poli tician he would doubtless have been a dramatist His capital Is the unex pected. He arranges climaxes and provides surprises with the instinctive grace of a connoisseur. His moves are audacious. But they are at the same time masterly. See the cleverness of the latest one. Against the united protest of the New York delegation Mr. Cleveland waB nominated at Chi cago, a thing unprecedented in the politics of either party. Two years later only two years Hill goes to ev ery prominent leader of the Cleveland Democracy in that same state which Cleveland carried by 192,000 and Flower by 40,000, and says to each: "Take the nomination for governor; it is your's If you will only say the word." And not one dared to face the swift consequences of that Chicago nomination. jNot one dared to face the people. In that emergency the party turns to uui-to Hill, the choice of the state Democracy whom the Cleveland co- hnts mercilessly overrode; to Hill, the presiaenrs aeienuer whom Cleveland id the distribution of offices has utterlv ijAiored; to Hill, the resolute opponent ofl the Populistio income tax, which Cleveland lacked the courage to veto; tcj Hill, who alone among the, Demo crats of the senate refused by his vote to participate in or sanction the Wilson-Gorman tariff policy of "party perfidy and party dishonor." Every man of those who at Chicago, two years ago, slapped Hill and Tammany full In the face has been outgeneraled by Hill and placed hors de combat. And finally Hill, as a last resort, with a record clean of all the taint of Cleve landism, becomes, in a critical hour, his party's only hope and that party turns to him and literally drafts him into its desperate .service, at a time when Cleveland and Cleveland's henchmen are sulking or cursing in their tents. Viewed, therefore, .without party bias and Its real significance, this spectacle of Hill's quick revenge Is no table and also memorable.' It will take its place among the most complete and sudden mutations In the history of politics. The superb generalship of it all, in the very face of almost cer tain defeat which would carry with it the loss, to the Democracy, of the fore most American state for at least one generatIon,compels theadmiration even of enemies. The pluck and the strat egy of it are record-breaking But It will not succeed. Even with a united party at his back, Ilill could not win in this year of aroused public feeling. The silent partner of Tammany bribe takers and Troy assassins, brilliant, nervy, dashing aud personally likable though he be, cannot be elected to the governorship which a servile tool va cates at the word of command; for the people have registered their determin ation to demand a new deal, and they propose to have it, even though it be at the inconvenience of the Mosby of the modern Democracy. With Cleveland politically dead, Hill would be a big man in New York politics. The nominutiou of Hill means that Cleveland must die. In the opinion of tho Elmira Tele gram, "The Tribune just now occu pies a position between 'the devil and the deep eea.'" But the Telegram Is wrong. The Tribune occupies a po sition at the front of the procession, between the routed and deserting De mocracy and the victorious Republican J van. Guess again. There is some consolation left for the unterrined. Minister to Russia Breckinridge still thinks the Demo crats will retain their hold on Arkan sas. Free Wool Falsehoods It is distressing to see so able and or dinarily so fair a paper as the Philadel phia Times betrayed into printing an absolute and bare-faced misrepresenta tion like this: When the McKinley bill went into effect wool brought 28 cenu a pound and fell to 10 cents inside the first week. As the fluck maaters were not giving away their prod uct, they stopped selling, and nuder the highest protective tariff ever known found neither market nor buyers. The new tar iff rate makes heavy reductions, nothing lege than 86 per cent, and all the war op 90. Under this tariff last week an Ohio wool-grower in the Woodfleld dibtriot sold 10.000 pounds at 6 cents. At Washington, in this state, the wool clip commands 'Jl cents, and this In spite of the fact that the Washington farmers were assured Unit tho free wool measure was their ruin. To top all a Monongahela firm yesterday instruct ed its country agents to take up &0.U00 pounds at US cents, where they formerly paid 15.. The first sentence of this extract from the Times of Saturday has not one scintilla 'of truth in it If the Times will refer to its own files it will discover that wool, in its entire his tory, never "fell to 10 cents.," Its low est point, in the Wood county, O., dis trict, was reached one year ago last August, when choice fleeces, which the year before, two years after the Mo Kinley bill had gone into effect, had brought 25 to 30 cents per pound, went begging at 18 and 17 cents. At this price dealers quit buying and farmers, of necessity, quit selling. The reason for this decline was not the McKinley bill, under which, as Scrantonlans have good reason to know, the textile industry, for a time, enjoyed rapid growth; it was due, directly and almost wholly, to the election, in 18U2, of a Democratic administration upon a rad ical free trade platform, which caused manufacturers to lose confidence, capi tal to seek a safe hiding place, woolen mills to stop, merchants to quit buying cloths and the wool-growers to be caught with a whole season's supply of fleeces on hand, for which there exist ed no market The writer of these words in the sum mer of 1893 talked with dozens of Ohio wool growers who were begging in vain for wool dealers to buy, at any price, some of the finest clips that the eye of man could wish to look upon. Some of these wool growers had, the year previous, voted the Democratic ticket. One aptly expressed the common ex perience when he said : "For years we farmers had got 30 to 50 cents for our wool. Of late years the market, owing to overproduction, had declined. One year ago, under Harrison, we got only 28 cents. We thought this too cheap. Frank Hurd and other free trade Dem ocrats came through here and told us that If we would knock out the tariff we could get a dollar a bushel for our wheat and restore the old prices on our wool. We were' fools enough to be lieve him. Now wheat is cheaper than corn, and wool well, I simply can't give it away, this summer, because no one has any use for it while the facto ries are closed and the looms locked up." This fall in prices from 28 cents to nothing at all although nominally the market ruled at 18 and 17 cents, occurred not, aa the Times says, "inside the first week" of the McKinley bill's going into effect. It occurred in the third year of that tar iff law, and not until the American people, in a moment of madness, had voted to smash that law aud, as Henry Watterson luridly said, "scatter tho ashes of protection to the four winds of heaven." ; "The new tariff Tate," says the Times, "makes heavy reductions, nothing less than 85 per cent, and all the way up to 90.' Upon wool of cer tain grades it makes this reduction: It takes the duty off, entirely. "Un der this tariff" the wool grower of the Woodsileld, O., district, wherever that Is, may, for a few weeks, get 20 cents for his. clip, before the conditions of foreign competition have adjusted themselves to the new American tariff; and the same with the Washington, Pa., wool grower. Our woolen mills, too, cannot keep closed forever, even under Democratic threats of free trade persecutions; many of them, less pres cient than the South Scranton woolen mill, during the low prices of raw wool had neglected to buy up and store large quantities of wool and now, in order to start, even on limited time, to fill immediate orders, have to go into the market and buy wool, thus creat ing a temporary and artificial demand, which momentarily advances prices. But does the Times believe and will It predict that thlsdemand will grow until American raw wool, beating down the unrestrained competition of Hungary, Russia and Australia, where wool brings onethird our prices under pro tection, will regain the 40 and CO cent rates promised by Frank Hurd and free traders of his ilk? The Times' esteemed Philadelphia contemporary, the Recordjust now law and gospel on matters Democratic, doesn't try to pretend that free wool will not hurt American wool growers. It coolly consigns the wool growers to per ditiou, claiming their sacrifice is do niandedln the interest of the Anierl can consumer, regardless of the fact that the American consumer could, uuder protection, buy more and better clothing with his high wage, than the free trado English consumer could buy with his free trade, low wage. In the light of yesterday's Inter pretation, Senator Hill's Saratoga speech assumes new HgnillcaHce. It was 'Hill, the candidate, who said "When a Democratio administration, after four years' time, retired In March, 18S8, It left to its Republican successor, an ample surplus and a reanouably prosperous country. But when that Democratic administration returned to power again in 1893 it found that the ship of state had almost been stranded or scuttled through Republican mi rule, its treasury baiikrupt,its revenues dissipated, its credit injured, its flag dishonored, its good name sullied and drifting rapidly toward the rocks of an impending financial panic." Hill, the spectator, would never have gone to such pains to elaborate so transparent and ridiculous au untruth. Editor Williams, of the Indian apolis News, recently concluded a lect ure before the pupils of Butler univer sity with tho statement that "The thing of prime importance to any newspaper is to get the facts, aud all the facts, of the occurrence reported, endeavoring to report honestly and without bias." That is why so many good newspapers purchase the superior telegraphic news service of tho United Press today, the best news-gathering organization in the United States, which means the world. Representative Bcuke, of Car- bondale, feels aggrieved that the Re publicans of his district, in convention atJermyn, should have doubted his fealty to the iarr free text book bill Mr. Burke has made a special pilgrim age to The Tribune otllce toaiHrm that he twice voted for that excellent measure, and that the only thing he had against it referred to "minor de tails." Possibly his constituency's ob jection to him may yet be covered by this same euphonious mantle. POLITICAL SOTES. Says Mr. Siagerly: "It is reported thnt in one of the speeches m ida by General Hustings iu hin tour of the stale he chal lenged Mr. Si'ignrly to lulicus-uon of state irsues. The Record will gladly open its columns to General Hastings for this sort of discussiou, thus giving hiiu the advant age of an nuclioncj everr day greater than be will see for all the lime ne is swinging 'round tho circle. A tue challenged purty the Democratic candidate un the right to choose his weupnnj and be accordingly nuts in the naml ot ins opponent a method ot deputation which if he IjhiI the lungs of titentor he could not hope to rival." If Editor Siupvrly will agree to do his own writing, this challenge would no doubt be accepted at once. Ueueral Hastings, how ever, while addressing two aud three audi ences daily, could scarcely be expected to have bufficieut leisure to write down tho Record's entire ft nit of trained word jug glers and thimble rigging statisticians. There Is nothing immodest iibjut the Populists. All they expect is everything; all they want is the earth. Senator Tur ner, who Is in charge of their national committee beadqnurters at Washington. says: "We polled votes iu every stato in the last election ana have orgamzod 100 per cent, stronger iu each state this year. South Carolina is absolutely in s. In California the Populists are sweeping over the state lite a tornado. Washington we will curry without a doubt. We expect to Bet more congressmen from the south than from the west. We will have three or four from Virginia. Our loaders in North Carolina suy they are going to send us several. We will get everything iu Colorado. Men who dn't like ttovernor Waite say that nevertheless he could carry Colorado right uow by 20,01)0 majority. I am confident we will, at lenst, hold the balance of power in tile next house." Candidate,.? have bat a brief time in which to lile certificate of nomination or nomination papers. The certificates must he illed on or net ore uot. a, and the nom ination papers on or before O.-t. 9. Near ly all the candidate?, from congressmen down, have bee.i nominated. Ouo or two Republican deadlocks ttireaUu to nitilte trouble for that party.

Tho great apostle ot pro tection will speak at a meetlug which has been arranged to take place at thn Phila delphia Academy of Alujicou tha uljut of Oct. 27.

If Mr, Ilines has any talents in the line of statesmanship he has kept them so se curely secreted that no portion ot the pub lic has yet detected tiiem. His perform ances in the houe Imve. consisted of a speech denouncing the Wilsrn bill when it was before that body and a vols In favor of it when It parsed. Tue rest of his time he has devoted to lussing slid fuming over the post fllce appointments, and he has generally been much more lucky wli h those he didn't get than with those be did. It bas been no credit to the district to have such a representative as liiues. lie has not given and caunot give it auy standing iu the bouse, and he has Voted with the southern tariff smashers agniust the in terests of his own people. Luzerne does not want any mor .f liiues, because it does not want any more of the southern free trade policy. Mr. Leisunriug will be elected if the Republicans are at all mind ful of their duty, and from Ilines to Lelaen ring will be an auiaaiug change for the better. TRUST NO 1 HlRO PARTY. II'aiAi'npfon Pott. ' . If the silver question is ever to be ad justed on the lines of free coinage, which Senator Jones and the Colorado Democrats and many of the Colorado Republicans oc cupy in common, It should be the hope and prayer of all good citizens that it be doue without a new alignment of political par ties. The Republican aud Democratio par ties, oojectional as in certalnreepsots their legislation and policies sometimes are, are nevertheless essential to the continued prosperity ot the country as salutary cbeeu and counter-balances one to the other. The aocession of a third party to power or even to the balance of power, holding to such theories of government as f.he Populists are promulgating, would b In the nature of a national misfortune for whioh all the alleged blessings of free and unlimited coinage would miserably fail to compensate. AS TO ACUTE CUCKOOISM. 'Wathinoton Pott. Wt have seen so much of cnckoolsm, here in Washington and elsewhere as well, aud we realize so thoioughly the futility ot any attempt to argue with patients in the more advanced stages of the malady, that wu forego the benevolent enterprise suggested by our sympathies. A cuckoo like tho Baltimore buu paper which Is firmly possessed by . tbe delusion that honator Gorman enacted the tariff law agmnst the combined reactance of tbe president and the Democratio members of congress is past all hope. It bos but one more step, and a mighty shore one at that, to take iu order to become eligible to tbe padded room. This is not a case of simple idiocy where the patient puts straw in his hair, thinks himself the king of Slum, and gives no trouble to his keeper. It is mania, likely at auy moment to become violent aud dangerous. Far be it from us to show impatience toward such a sufferer. THEIR TURN WILL COME Stneca tails. .V.
