"Out of Thine Own Moulh WHI I Judge Thee, Thou Wicketl Servant !" The Detro ' Free Press of September 20, 1894, published in its Washington dispatches an interview with Minister Zeballos, of the Argentine Republic. The interview was emphasized by fiaming headlines as follows: The Argentine minister and the Pree j Press seemed to be particularly joyful over the eiïect of the Gorman tariiï j law on the wool industry of the South American nation. The industry there was greatly stimulated; there has come a great advance in the markets there; they expect to send six million dollars worth of their wool to the United States this year to displace just that much of the product of our own farm?rs. This great good to the Argentina people is in consequenee of their adding the duty they had to pay under the Mclvinley bill to the price of their wool. Under the McKinlev bill this differsnee in price was paid into the U. S. treasury by the Argentine wool grow2rs. Under the new tariiï lavv it is paid by the American consumer, and goes iuto the pockets of the Argentine wool grower. This is bully fun for the Argentine Republic, but hard on the American republic. The average American citizen had reason to believe that congress was legislating for this republic and oot for the Argentine Republic. The Democratie party will carry the Argentine Repubiic by a rge majority, and that is all it will carry.
