To the Editor of the Michigan Farmer.
In the last issue of the Farmer | saw an
article from the pen of George w. Stuart
which fully endorse. Like him l have
always been Democrat, but am glad TO
he able TO discover that | am no longer n
Grover Cleveland Democrat. When
Democracy comes around trying to take
f ON len 10 twenty cents ont Of every
pound of wool raise, think it time to
order halt
With the price of wheat at barely the
cost of production, il seems as though the
farmer ought to receive a remunerative
price for his WOOL but Mr.. Cleveland says
no; he wants wool placed on the free list.
He says nothing about manufacturers, but
hopes they will be patriotic enough to sell
their goods cheaper. l think they will be
patriotic enough to buy wool as cheap as
they can, and charge what they have a
mind 10 for their goods.
1t seems 10 me that the main drift of the
Presidents last message is stab at the
wool industry OF this country. think it
would he a good thing to place brains. on
the free list so that those who are trying to
ruin the wool interests of this country
might avail themselves of enough lntelli
gence TO comprehend the great wrong they
are trying to do the American farmer.
If the Hon. Grover should be a candi-
date for reelection the wool. growers
should rise as one man and say, 1--WE will
see you later" DEWITT J. HARRIS.

Prohibition In Iowa.
70 tic Editor of THE TIMES;

70 Me Editor of THE TIMES;
Many persons are asking for information
in regard to the effect of the prohbitory
law in Kansas. Iowa and other places
where the law is in force. Let the farmers
remember when they go to the polls on the
24th, that under the new law only one half
Of the revenue now collected fiom the
saloon business goes into the county treas
ury and that the other half goes into the
treasures of the cities and towns where
they exist. In other words one half of the
revenue derived from this business is taken
away from the farmers, where 1t of right
belongs, and used by the cities to reduce
the city taxes. But read what an Iowa
farmer has to say about the success of Pro
hibtion in that State. 1t is not 10 be ex-
pected that many men who behind the
plow will make the mistake of voting to
keep the whiskey traffic in existence when
they have for years been unjustly required
10 foot its bills, while at the same time
they were deprived of the revenue from
the sale of licenses. Shiawassee county
has even greater reasons for standing Ivy
her record of last spring on this question.
and the principal one is: IL is right. Look
nj your ticket on the Gath and see what
you are voting for. Can any man who has
family deliberately vote for the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating liquors in
this county, II he does what will his
children think OF him If he should be the
snpans of fastening this curse upon them
fer the mex, generation to come?
