tin, of January 10:
EDITOR BULLETIN:-In publishing
the proceedings of the public reception
giyeta In nay Opera House Dec. 18th to
the State Grange of the Patrons of
Husbandry, you state:
'Mr. Schaefer referred to the wool
tariff and said that he cordially endors-
ed Mr.. McKinley's position on that
SUBJECT III Congress and that he hearth
y concurred in the Presidential utter
ances IN protection to agriculture as
well as manufacturing interests"
This seems to be an ext from our
Daily Repository. The circulation of
that paper is more local than the Amer
ican Grange Bulletin, and as | have
never concealed my political senti-
ments, and for the purpose of placing
myself right on the tariff question
not on wool only permit me to make
a correction.
The latter part of Mr.. MeKinley's
oratiOn on that occasion dwelt princi-
pally on the tariff on wool, ct al, read
ing and quoting from opinions held by
Washington, John Adams, Thomas
JefIerSon, James Madison, James MOu-
roe, John Quincy Adams and Andrew
Jackson. In reply to that subject |
turned around to the Major and stated:
"Giye us the tariff of either of those
distinguished statesmen and presidents
named; or, when you return to Wash
ington frame tariff bill not in conflict
with either of the views held by those
distinguished gentlemen named, and
will shake hands with you" | hope
the Major will do so.
AS to the special wool question.
pleasantly alluded to its having been a
very mixed question in the Garden of
Eden and caused Cain, the farmer, to
kill his brother Abel. l also appealed
to the Major to finally, with his ability
and influence, settle this vexed question
on his return to Washington as a mem
o. the Committee of Ways and Means.
The idea of heartily cOncurring with
the Presidential utterances and endors-
ing Major McKinley's position on the
question is simply absurd and repre-
Sents me in my advancing years as
rather a subject of ridicule.- Louis
