Such action as the free traders propose
would sweep away and destroy what
has taken years of care, toll and a large
expenditure of money to establish and
build up. 1t would be deadly assault
upon the agricultural interests of the
country, inasmuch as millions of our
farmers depend largely upon their wool
product to carry them along. II would
wrest from sheepmen their lifetime
earnings, and drive 1000. 600 people into

Gov. Hills course in reference TO the
high license bill which has finally passed
the New York senate will be watched
with interest. He vetoed high license
bill passed by the last legislature on the
ground that it was defective. partial in
its application, and promoted an objec-
tlonable form of espionage. He sup
ported the veto by what were generally
conceded to be rather plausible argu-
ments. 1t was admitted there was some
justification for his course. The bill
now before him for signature was framed
by Democrats and Republicans especial
ly to meet the objections urged by him
against the bill he vetoed last year. 1t
was drawn up so that in the event of its
passage there would be no good reason
for his interposing veto. 1t is general
in Its application. The tax on saloon is
fixed at moderate figures. Espionage in
any form is not encouraged by it. The
best public sentiment wants the bill
signed.
