In 1867 the tariff on wool was to the
highest notch to protect" the sheep, as
we were told, and here is the way it

Loss by protection"


If the wool tax has any effect on sheep
the higher the tax the faster they die or
are killed off seems to be the rule.
That protective tax" of 1867 killed OIL
half the sheep in the very States it was
said to protect. In 1867, New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota had 90
s79, 222 sheep, and by the time Republicans
stopped giving them that kind Of 'pro-
lection" they had just IA, 761, $50. A few
years more of the same kind of "protec-
ton" would have made sheep about as
much an extinct animal east Of the Mis-
sissippi as the moose of the Adirondacks.

The Reign of Grover.
From The Koran of Democracy.
IFairmont West yirginian
CHAPTER XIV.

Verse l. 1t came to pass in those
days that the people chose Grover,
the son of his father, to rule over
them.
2. Forty and eight years old was
he when he began to reign, and he
reigned four years in Washington.
8. And he forsook the paths of
the righteous, neither regarded he
the ways Of Washington nor Lincoln
to walk therein.
4. But he made him new ways
and got him strange councillors, CIV
ing the high places to those afore-
time in rebellion.
5. Moreover, he sent away the
veterans from the places of honor,
and the widows In the Treasury De-
partment saw and trembled.
6. For this was in the first year
of his reign, about the month Of
April, which is by Interpretation
watery.
I. And the people murmured and
said: "In the time of his election he
regardeth the civil service law, and
now, behold the sons of Belial fill
the postoffices.
8. And it happened that Grover
called unto him General Drum and
said: "Go to now! Take Of the
standards captured in battle in times
past and return them.o
8. Then arose Foraker and said ::
"Am not Governor Of Ohio +? 'Dev-
il wan of them goes back"
10. Now, Foraker was mighty
man of ..valor and could probably
overcome Grover.
IL. And Grover lied and said,
"Behold, now, it was not /, but Gen.
eral Drum that wanted to give them
back, but /, even I, would not let
him. and he winked to Daniel.
-. Then Grover took unto him.
self wife, whose beauty could not
cover up the wrongs of his govern
ment.
13. In the ending OF the third
year of his reign Grover called unto
him Roger of Texas, and said 'Lo,
/ am desirious of retaining power !;
60 now, prepare me law opening
our markets to our friends in Eng
land, and perchance they will send
us some soap"
IA. For in those days they need
ed much soap.
15 And straighway Roger went
and drafted him law, and it passed
the House, and Grover itched to
sign it, and it came to the Senate.
16. And the Senate sat down on
it, and Grover CRASHED his teeth,
but prevailed not.
II. And when the four years were
yearly finished the people cried
Enough" and -Four months more,
and sundry other such remarks, and
desired our Benjamin to rule over
them
Is. And Grover retired to Red
Top.
10. And the rest of the deeds
that he did in Washington, behold
are they not written in the newspa
pers of his time? o. B. M.

News.
CINCINNATI, Dec 5.-Attorney General
David r. Watson came down from Column
bus Tuesday night to meet the prosecuting
attorneys Of Brown and Adams counties,
and consult with tn EN- as to the best means
Of suppressing the White Caps, which are
spreading terror in these counties. Gen.
Watson met Prosecuting Attorney s. v.
Pearson, of Brown county at the Gibson
house In the morning and had conference
with him.
A representative of the press was present
when the two officials met. When asked
what the state authorities intended to do
Gen. Watson said:
ssThe state intends to use all its power to
suppress these so-called White Caps. The
governor is fully determined upon this, and
we do not intend to permit these out
RACES to continue, to the disgrace Of the
state and injury to the good name of our
citizens
'.That much you can say most emphat-
ically," said the attorney general to the re-
porter. I'VE do not intend to permit these
outlaws to go on as they have in Indiana un-
til they bring the state authorities into con-
tempt"
"IIow will you prevent iti'
eve have not arrived at positive conclu-
sion yet The state certainly has the power
to protect its citizens and preserve order, and
will use it. The measures we shall take will
probably be determined upon to-day, and as
much as we deem prudent will be given to
the publicn
"These White Caps can be dealt with un-
der the Ku-K lux law, can they notf"
Eyes, but do not want to say anything
about that The Ku-Klux act can only be
enforced by the United States authorities. Il
think we shall be able to manage this affair
without Federal assistance You may be
assured that the state will proceed promptly
and act vigorously"
S. V. Pearson, the Brown county prose-
cutor, said there was a state Of general
alarm and uneasiness in the county, and that
the case was difficult one to handle.

business takes them all over the country.
They are of the same class who ten years ago
were known as Regulators
"There was at that time great deal of
petty thieving in the county. One or two
persons were whipped by the Regulators
there was much excitement for time, the
thieving stopped, and there was no more of

business is the result of talk and undue
excitement; but the excitement exists, all

Colonel Deitsch Warned.

CINCINNATI, Dec 6.-The last victim of
the supposed local White Caps is Col Deitsch,
chief of police. He received a letter in his
mornings mail in which he was warned that
he would shortly be visited by the midnight
riders. 1t was written in red ink and signed
advance Guard White Caps" The colonel
made light of the letter and said he was not
afraid of all the White Caps in southern
Ohio. If he discovers the writer of the let
ter, however, he will call the attention of the
United States authorities to the case to put
an end to a lot of foolishness.
The letter warned Chief Deitsch to close
up Kohl & Middleton's dime museum, be-
cause Adam Berkes is ON exhibition there
1t said if he did not he would be waylaid
some dark night.
The letter also said the museum proprie-
tors had been warned to close and not ex-
hibit Berkes any longer 1t also stated a
warning had been sent to Berkes TO leave
town or he would be visited again by the
White Caps.

The neighborhood for miles around
With it's populace had parted.
And the dusty roads, their misty lengths,
With vehicles were strung;
The little burg in festal dress
In greens from mountains garfield
Seemed like bride, expectant. proud,
Admiring friends among
There were some candidates.
1t had not rained for several hours,
And the heat was simply awful,
Yet crowds came in from neighboring town.
And seemed inclined to stay;
But once year CONES July Fourth.
And it seems quite right and lawful
For patriots stout. from all about,
To celebrate that day
Amongst the candidates.
They raced on foot and chased the pigs
They bowled the nine pins down;
The trotters hitched to racing rigs,
Were thick in Lewistown-
So were the candidates.
Before the welcome dinner bells

And cracked the armament with ycIls

And caused wall 50 loud
A loaded gun with sharp report
Il Went off right in the crowd,
