The Effect of Republican Legfs:
lati0n on Prices.
The Democratic farmers of this
county will have to admit that Re-
publican tariff and antitrust legis-
lation is not an unmixed evil. The
Mckinley tariff bill makes it pos.
sible to buy II pounds of sugar for
one dollar, when you could buy
only IL pounds last year for one
dollar. Remember that 1t was Re-
publican antitrust legislation that
prevented the formation of the
American Harvesting Combine and
enabled me to sell Buckeye Bin
ders for less money than ever be-
fore. The Mckinley bill has favor
ed the sheep industry SO that the
crop of wool and lambs in Audrain
county will sell for over $4,000
this year. If you don't believe it
count the increase in your neighbor-
hood. Buy your sacks and twine
and offer me your wool.
