bar mills are pledged 10 sell thCn no bars,
The price Of hurhcd wire has already
gone up ~ ton aud wire nails have gone
up from - 10 10 cents % kcg,'
Here We have the spectacle Of eleven
mills cctuully freezing out thIrty one
mills, and yet We can produce the wire
$500 per ton here cheaper than can be-
done In other countries, In spite Of thia
thcrc h tariff Of sl3a0on thc wire, This
prevents parties now In the business from
continuing Ia the Barb Wire business
simply bccnuscH u high tarIlt will not allow
them 10 import the wire, liut suppose
there was no tariff on the wire, In ua much
ug Il can br made cheaper here parties In
consuming the wire would not have to I'm,
port Il, for the fact that Il eau be- imported
az $500 advance would be- a Eiandlngmo
ace and the combine would be- Impossible,
Now word 10 the farmer n there
over was a cause Tor u boycott here Il la,
But the Octopus Inns too many branches
FOR you, You undertook 10 boycot twIuo
10 bind your grain, you went 10 wire hut
what did you gain Should you under
take TO boycot wire for fence what would
bc the result, you would simply have 10
pay the extra price Of the tariff on the
lumber, Ia premium on the destruction uf
the forcstal the nails are heavily taxed
The tools you drive the nails with the
same, In fact turn which way you may II
h tho tariff, tariff, And oven the railroad
that carrlca your grain 10 the markets and
brings your taxed tools 60 till the soil N
capitalized higher on account Of the tariff,
hence the profit Oh higher capitalization
comes out OF you
In order TO particularly nppCnsc you the
domngogucs with slouCh hats smiling
couutCnanccH aud uuwuahOd hands before
election comes out 10 your meeting places
and try TO pull the wool over your eyes by
citing To the fnct that there h u tariff on
wool, aud yet when you tnkCa load OF
wool 10 the market you got no moro for II
per H. You take the money and buy
sugar, clothing, machinery, twinc, bnrbcd
wire, and In fact anything except what
you raise, and youpny tariff taxes on
every item.
Now there Ia one way out Of this and on.
ly one, and that IN by using the ballot aud
that alone, You pays your money and
take your choice,
