BEV0LVT10X IS' Wool. MANUFACTURE. For the Hist time in twenty years, the wool duties ure to be thoroughly discussed. SittOe tho adoption of tin* wool turill in 1_H>7, which was tho cart-fully Mutated fruit of many COB feieuoes and of several couveutioiis, the subject has been so little considered that much public ignorance and many misapprehensions inti.ill about it. Thus there are DOW found Journalists aud Cotiivressiiieu who ailinn, as others did in IsOO, thut a removal of duties on wool is abso? lutely necessary to secure n decent pneo tor American wool to the (.rowers. At the same time there are found somo manufacturers who insist, as others did in 186*8, that the manu? facture cauiiot grow and prosper without cheap raw-matt rial. To the dullest mind these tuo claims are Irreconcilably conflicting. Vet both lind place iu the report of the majority ol tho Committee on Ways and Means in support of the pending bil!. It u removal of thc duty will make wool cheaper fir the manufacturer, how eau it secure .1 better price lor the (.'rower ? If it will secure to the* woo! grower a better price for his product, how can it bein lit the mann faoturer by giving bim cheaper raw materials 7 The fit-e traders of twenty yean ago an? swered, then with some force, that there was needed in lin production of the kind ol ?_'.ls at that timi1 m.uk-in this country a large ad? mixture of foreign wool. They showed that a third of the wool then consumed was Imported) and claimed that the home manufacture could ii.it succeed against foreign competition v. ithout ii lice choice of cheap foreign wools. They said that, when enabled to compete, the manu? facture used ap a j_re.it quantity of domestic wool, anil mi in,nle a good demand ami a better price, but when nnablcto compete, the manufacture eould not uah either foreign or domestic wool, ami ?o itu- demand loi home wool slackened and its juice declined. The Bourbon economists of the Democratic school, who learn nothing and forget nothing, an- re? peating this reasoning to-day, ignorant of the complete revolution in tin woollen manufact? ure which twenty years have brought. Whether the argument bad force in 1 HUG or not, it hus none now. Tlie kind of cloth then chiefly worn, as everybody knows, has gone entirely out of use. Public tastes have altered on both sides ol the water, ami the manufact? ure has changed its character in obedience to tin- change of taste. Different goods are now required to satisfy the public demand, and diilerent materials io produce the required /mills. The toriH which free traders insisted would prostrate both grower iind manufacturer has resulted in an Increase of muli- than Km per cent, both in the production and the con? sumption of wool, ;ind fret) trade economists are now forced to answer that this growth bas been due to the greal revolution in the kind of gooda required and in the modes of manu? facture. This is partly true, but it does not niter the fact that the public taste to-day re- J quires goods a bid are u.ade almost exclusively ?, of American wool. Moreover, the free traders t have published only this year an elaborate argument against ita- present tarin by a bank? rupt (lealet'.iii which it i- admitted th.u woollen Hoods are as cheap in this country, quality con? sidered, as the goods produced in Germany, t lo produce the goods m.uh- in 186(1 there nen consumed about 155,000,000 pounds domestic ami 70,500,000 pounds imported wool. Yet tin enormous price of cotton at that time com? pelled the people to nse wool instead of cotton 1 ior many articles of wear, lt hus been eati- 1 mated that fully a third of tin- consumption of 1 wool in 18G8 waa in uses for which cotton had t been employed before the war, and in a normal state of the markets always will be employed. j\t that time about one-third of tin- wool used wit- foreign and two-thirds American, But last year the lnaiiul.iet me ased about 320,000,000 pounds domestic and only 68,000,000 pounds foreign wool, over iS'J per cent being of home production. The change ni proportion required for the production of articles ordinaiily ami naturally made of wool ha- been much greater still. Events have proved that the reasoning of lice trader* in 1880 was unsound. Hut now the kinda of goods chiefly used in this country are made herc as cheaply .'is they are made in any othercountry, and are last made with little or no admixture of foreign wool. Of the wool imported, 51,000,000 poundt is for use in the carpet manufacture, and only 17,000,000 pounds of allothei ri.issi*, in only a small part ol the other manufacture would the' ase of foreign wool be an advantage. To use more than the sixth of foreign Wool, in place of any considerable part of Hie five-sixths domestic wool now used, wonld meat ruinous price- foi the growers, as they well know. Un the othei band, if there a sk any truth in the claim that toe removal of the duty would enhance tbe value of 320,1 1)0,000 pounds domestic wool now consumed, it would inevitably increase the cost of nearly all goods to consumers far more than the cost coull be reduced by reduction in the lir.ee of the one sixth foreign wool DOW used. A very lew manufacturers would be benefited, at the expense ol the rest of the country, by the proposed change. Butnearlj all woollen manufacturers nave united in an carnes! protest against the threatened change of tariff, and tiiey understand tin* present con? dition alni ni eds of tlie business better than the Bourbon legislators at Washington. TOO Ml < ll VMl/i ISIS. Emphasis i** a feature of tin- art of public speaking to which much attention is paid in England, Every memberof Parliament makes ii point of putt _g tlie tase strongly, even it he lacks rhetorical gifts or oratorical graces, lt is not surprising, therefore, to find two opponents of Mr. Gladstone's scheme expressing a prefer? ence lor absolute separation over Home kule. Mr. Trevelyan did this at the close ut hj? speech and Mr. Chamberlain repeated tho sentiment when he declared tliat rather than face the dis? tractions ;iml foreign complications, which would arise from having a quaai-independenl government in Ireland, he would vote for sepa? ration pun- and simple.

Of course it annot be expected thal the cessation of work t Doon or l p. m. on Saturday will become iii ince t h?- geueral rule among ail elassea ot waga* arnon.

THE AMERICAS BCHOOL AT A1HRNE When, in 1883, tbs Aicbtnologioal Institut" of America determined to found mi American Behool of slasstaal stadias In Athena the project was at ouch nods taken in a pnictii al. self respecting ssaanea No iroticral appeal for lltmnrinl icsist iini-e was mada, nor waa thara s tedloos delay for the purpose of soUsstina an endowment, Bul a numbsf of Iba leading colieqes in tho sauatrv united In an unselfish manner, and in toms Instant cs at Benstderahls saeriflee, to begin the work, undi agreeing ls furnish in manias courss at tts own charges a resilient director fur cmo year, ami be? sides to sontrtbute snnually to thc expenses of tho Behool, A good working library has been collected, .1 creditable) voluine ol papen of the school has berni published, ana dnrini Ihs thrss and s half yearn of Its existence thu Institution has accomplished tillich.

A plot of (/reiiitid, nearly two acres in extent. adjolaiagtb* English school, aad rained at about 013,000, has been offered to the Aiueiicau school. This hospitable and generoaa act OB ths part of the Uovernment, ami a growing realization that thc best results cannot ho obtained excent nuder u permaneat root and s permanent organization snd direction, have suggested that tho time has como to make a imbin- appeal for a building fund ami perhaps thc nucleus ni an eadowment. For this purpose from .f25,000 to |30,o00is needed. More than hali ol thi- sum has heen subscribed in Boston ami Philadelphia, and it ia thought tbat New-York, the home ol two iit tbe collages which now con? ti ibnte to the support of the school--Columbia snd the College ol tba Cit. of New-York? will readily rm*!- fi,mi 010,000 to 015,000 more, when once the nrceln and deserts ??f tin- enterprise have been com? prehended. With this in view, a committee, of which Henry <?. Uarquand is chairman, has been tunnel to solicit and receive subscriptions. We believe that there will be a cordial response to tins appeal Tho expensss of the school will always remain small; sn excellent beginning hss already been mada io a manner moat creditable to nil concerned in it; sud tbe purpose and results ??t tho opportunity thus ottered ara in tho line of broad ami mit of Darrow scholarship.
