SENATORIAL ARITHMETIC.
The Glaring Mistakes of Senator
Davis on the Wool Schedule.

The Glaring Mistakes of Senator
Davis on the Wool Schedule.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Senator Davis, with much flourish of
trumpetS and profusion of ''scare
heads" in the papers, has "fired the
opening gun of the campaign" in his
Minneapolis speech. The seDatar IS
one of those who believe that an assem-
blage of lawyers down In Washington
are Supernaturaily endowed with abiI-
ity 10 direct the business Of the people
better than they can ito it themselves
1t is the intention and effect OF all pro-
tectiye tariffs to say what ''induSLrieS'
are not and should not be made profit.
able. How well qualified is this States
man to make the delicate adjustments
which such policy demands, is hap
PLY shown by himself i'll this ''opening
gun" Permit me a little space for an-
alysiS of one portion of it,for the whole
of it turns out under analysis the same.
He says: Now there has been a
great Outcry about the wool schedule.
The increase of the duty on wool was
for the direct benefit of the farmer; it
was for the benefit of a declining indus
try made and caused to decline by the
unwise legislation of 1888. In 1867. when,
the wool tariff was so adjusted as to fos-
ter this industry, the number of sheep
in this country was $4,000. In 1888 the
number of sheep had increased to 3d.
0G0, and when the unwiSe act of 1885
was passed, the number of sheep COM
menced to decrease until, in 1889, they
had decreased 1000, and we had put
Il, 1000 (Sic). In 1887 the wool produced in
the United States was 10000 pounds. In:
1888 it was 300.000.000, and by 1889 it had
fallen to go, coo, 900 pounds"
The senator, OF his apologetie friends,
cannot claim that there is Topographic
cal error in these figures. The Tribune
was furnished long before the speech, I
am informed, with typewriter copy,
of it. Further, the Democratic state
central committee sent stenographer
to Crookston to take his speech with
which he opened the campaign on Oct.
Is, and his report of the speech is word
for word and figure for figure the same
as that given in the Tribune. This is
tribute to Mr.. Davis excellent memory.
Now for facts versus imagination. In
1867 the number fsheep in this country
was 90. 1873 222, instead of 24,0OO. In
1883 there were Is, 166,3T4, instead of
SO 600. In 1888, the latest data accessi-
bic to me, they had decreased to 12,211,-
o76, instead of 420O0. Again, in 1882 he
says that the number Of sheep was
$4,000. The wool clip that year, he says,
was 30o,000.000 pounds. Now for little
arithmetic. If $1,000 sheep produce
300,00o,0O0 pounds of wool, then one
sheep will produce as many pounds as
$4,000 is contained times in SOC, 900,
which is 1858 pounds of wool to each
sheepl Mr.. Davis is certainly in error
in calling that "unwfSe legislation"
which could make each sheep in this
country shear 1858 pounds of wool.

VOTE as YOU THINK.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, which is
Boss QUAY's organ, has the following
furcible statement running all through
It's columns in big black letters: "a
vote for PATTIsoN means vote for the
repeal of the MCKINLEY BILL"
That is sound logic. PATrIsoN is the
Democratic candidate for governor in
Pennsylvania, and vote for a Demo-
cratic candidate this year signifies the
v.itr's Reputation of the MCKINLEY
bill
But why should not the PENNSYLVANIA
principle apply here? Mr.. QUAY is the
chairman of the Republican national
committee, ,and he speaks eX-cathedra on
all party questions. According to the
logic of things, the Pioneer Press,
the Tribune, and all the Republican Or
gans in this state ought to run in the
same big black lines through their col
umns the same assertion:
"a vote for THOMAS WILSON is a
vote to repeal the MCKINLEY BILL"
Or they might put in this way;
"a vote for MERRIAM means an in
dorsement for the MCKINLEY bill"
That is the truthin plain language.
and yet there is nota Republican paper
in Minnesota dare assert it.
This is time when candidates lose
their individuality in the overshado wing
importance of the issues of the CAM
paign. A vote for Republican candi-
date this year means an Endorsement of
all the legislation of the Fifty-first con-
greSs. including the force bill, the Nc
KINLEY bill, and the restriction of sill
yer coinage. 1t means all approval of
Tom REEDS autocratic methods.
On the other hand. a vote for the Dem
ocratic candidates means reputation
of all the infamous legislation of the
Fifty-first congress.
The issue is q plain one, and directly
presented.
The Democrats are not afraid to toe
the mark on it.
Now let the Minnesota Republicans
be as honest as their Pennsylvania
bosses, and face the music on the tariff
issue.
Let them appeal to the voters of Min
neSota as they are appealing to the vOt.
erS of pennsylvania to support the Re-
publican candidates OIL the ground that
vote for Democratic candidate sig
nifies hostility to the MCKINLEY bill.
We want fair expression of the Min
nesota voters on the MCKINLEY bill,
and this is the way to get it.
Let the people of Minnesota vote as
they think On this subject.

county is awake to the enormities of
the Mckinley tariff, if the sentiment of
the people can be gauged by the large
and enthusiastic meeting which greeted
Hon. .. NJ. Hall and Judge Wilder in
HIPS opera house this evening. The
farmers for many miles around came in,
bringing with them their wives and
daughters, and the ladies of Faribault,
too, were well represented. To
add to the Importance of the meet
ing. there were a number of those
who nave heretofore been staunch Re-
publicans in attendance. The meeting
was presided over by |. b. Spence, who,
in a brief address, brought Judge Will
der before the audience. The speech
of the venerable jurist was brief, but it
fairly brought down the house. and
made many votes for Mr.. Hail and
Judge Wilson. A comparison was made
between the opposing candidates for
governor, and the question was asked
of the audience If aught could be said
against Judge Wilson by any one who
had known him during the last thirty
years. The course OF the Minnesota
congressman in voting for the McKin-
ley bill was criticised, and i'm his most
impressive manner the speaker de-
clared that it was for the people to arise
in their might and enter protest. Let
your present representative go back to
his farm. if he has one, and if not, to
his livery Stable in st. Paul." exclaimed
Judge Wilson, and while the au-
dience shouted, he passed on to
pay a tribute to his young
friend, o. nj. Hall. The meeting was
wound up by an eloquent and eonvinc-
ing address by MIR. Hall ON the McKin-
ley tariff, and the action of the Mime
sofa delegation in voting for it. This
was sharply criticised. and the audience
showed its appreciation by frequent ap-
plauSe. At the close of the meeting an
informal reception was held on the
platform. and great many of those
present improved the opp rtunity and
shook hand, with thu next congressman
from the Third district.
