CLUB RATES. For the convenience of our sub scribers, we have arranged club rates with the following papers at prices below mentioned : The Times and Courier-Journal $1.00 " Cincinnati Enquirer 1.10 " Louisville Herald 5)0 " Home and Farm 75 " Irland Farmer 1.00 " American Fanner !I0 " Southern Agriculturist 75 Further evidence of how the multi-millionaire woolen trust magnates "protect"' their em ployesin return for suilident pro. tection to allow them to over charge 10,000,000 Amerkun con sumers on every article of cloth they buy, is revealed in the ar rest at Lawrenco, Mass., of Will M. Wood, head of the Woolen Trust. Mr. Wood is charged with plac ing dynamite in the homes of his $3, $(iand a week foreign mill workers in an attempt tn discred it their cause while they were on a strike last winter as a protest against a reduction of wages. Mr. Wood's arrest is worthy of the uttontion of every man, wo man and child in the country who wears woolens. Because of the fact that Mr. Wood und his fel low woolen trurt magnates con tribute heavily to Republican campaign funds, Congress has been in the habit of placing the tariff on woolens high enough to keep out all competition, so that the woolen trust coull be free to charge any price they desired, up to the limit of the ability of the people to pay. The result is that Americans are paying from thir ty to one hundred per cent more for woolen clothing and blankets than the resident of Great Britain pays. The story of the career of Mr. Wood provides a curious para dox. He is the oppessor of 150, 000 miserable New Englund tex tile workers, a few years ago he was one of them. In his youth he felt the sting of hunger him self, but now he is pitiless 111 his thoughts of his employees. He has grown enormously rich, but declares that fiom H to $1) a week is enough for those who la bor in his mills. It is said of many captains of industry that they ure ignorant j ot the conditions 01 the workmen who earn their fortunes for thein that if they knew the distress of their employees they would seek to remedy it. Not so with Wood, lie knows. 'J heir distress he 1 sees. Their cries he hears. Wood's father was a Portugese Jew emigrant. He labored in a cotton mill und died of tubercu losis a diseaso common to cotton and wool thinners. The father's name is believed to have been AlphoiiHo Lellair or LaVair. When the woolen mill employ ces, which a 10 composed of 12 different nationalities, most of whom cuu not speak in English, went on a strike, the fathers and mothers decided to send their Lubes and little children away to - friends in other ci tie's in order that they might not stiller from hunger during the strike. Mr. Wood's ngents beat the women, and tore the little ones from their mothers' arms when the children were about to he placed on trains. Thus did Mr. Wood "pro tect" his employees. Are the American people will ing to continue to contribute to Wr. Wood by paying more for shoddy than good woolen cloth ing sells for in England? Or do they want the tn rill on woolens reduced? There is only one day every two years when tho consumers have an opportunity to express themselvess on this subject. That, day comes on No vember oth. Snow isreported to have fallen in Knox county last week during the cool spell of weather. That is just a warning of what will happen right in November, even in the Eleventh. Caleb, Billv and Teddy will all be buried completely in the snow of clean Democratic votes. Some of the Bull Moose papers papers have found out they can not longer remain out. of tho log cabin camp and have returned to the Republican fold. Sensi ble, but. far more sensible would it have been had they fallen in the swelling Democratic camp. One Republican paper accounts f ir the high price of cattle in the way that the bright prospects of Republican success is stimulat ing the prevailing good markets in favor of the firmer.
