BARBED WIRE feuce is likely to be a
little cheaper. Two things have kept
up the price, The one was high tar
ilf on wire reds, the other was the
close monopoly which the patentees
were able through the tariff to main
tain. They have "farmed" out the
monopoly at exorbitant royalties. At
last, however, the monopolsts have
got by the ears. The royalties are to
be considerably reduced This will
tend to a reduction OF price. Now,
with reduction Of the tariff on wire
and wire rods the farmers of the
prair:o regions can have their fences
at very considerable reduction from
present cost.

Tho profound wisdom of this re
mark is apparent when the fact is
noted that the county in the state
which makes the most cheese is the
democratic county Of Sneboygan.
The county which, according to the
last census made the most butter on
farms, is the democratic county of
Danc. The next banner county in
tho butter business, according to that
census, is the county OF Dodge, which
gave her even 5000 majority for
Cleveland. The county that sent the
most milk to butter and cheese facto-
ries was the democratic county of
Sheboygan. The rext in rank in that
column is that Gibraltar of dcmoc-
racy, Jefferson county. The Rspub-
he had better base TIE longevity of
the republican larty on something
else than butter aud cheese.
