The Republicans are doing lots
of loud talking about Democratic
rainbow chasing, which is all they
pretend to think that the prepara-
tiOns 10 make an aggressive Demo-
cratic campaign in Illinois, Iowa,
Michigan and Wisconsin, will
amount to but it is well known
fact that among themselves llepub-
licaus admit to each other that tho
States named are extremely doubt
full with the chances against them.
and Chairman Carter has approved
and promised to put up the money
to put in operation scheme by
which il is hoped to gain enough
electoral votes from the Southern
States TO offset probable Rcpubli..
can losses IN the northwest. Tho
Southern State in which this
scheme is to be operated are the
two Virginn's, Tennessee and
North Carolina, and IN Aiabama an
attempt is TO be- made by the Re-
publican managers TO throw tho
solid negro vote to the peoples

tickets, hoping thus 90 keep the
State out Of the Democratic
column. Southern Democrats are
uninimous in saying that whatever
the opinion Of voters IN hat section

ton of the farmers to the decrease
IN the llocks of sheep that has taken
place in the 2i years that they have
been burdencd with high tariff
upon wool.
Beginning with our ncighbpring
great State of Pennsylvania. where
more is claimed FOR the benefits Of a
high tariff than in any other State
we see that the llocks i'm that State
when the high duties went into
operation amounted i'm 1868 To
3,l22, 900 sheep. In two wears. or
in 1870, the number had dropped
to l,79 900, or nearly one half.
while by the year 1888, the sheep IN
Pennsylvania had dropped to the
lnconsldcrablc figure of 9Sl 900.
Twenty years of high tariff mad
reduced the 0ocks to almost one
fourth of of their former number
Let us look ut the history Of the
sheep business in West Virginia.
When the high tariff went into
operation in 1868 West Virginia had
$50, 900 sheep. In 1888, or twenty
years aftcrward our nocks had
dropped to i74.000, or nearly one
half while The State meanwhile had
almost doubled in population.
In the State of Virginia the same
history is related. The hocks in
that State in 1868 amounted to
d5S,000 sheep. but in 1888 the
numo had dropped to $4,000.
The great State Of Dino sends
us the slme record of depleted
liocks. Having in 1868. g. 730. 600
sheep. the number declined until in
1890 there were but 3,943. .O00, or
almost one half.
Let III examine the record Of our
own Immediate locality | have
not the returns Of the census Of
Of 1890 by counties, but as the
number in the whole State shows
such an enormous shrinkage of
course the returns by counties will
also.
The census reports Of 1870 and
1880 show the following
Taylor county. W. Va. had in
1870, G.00o sheep. and in 1850
Tal lor hId but j,37J sheep
In 1860 Preston county had
1T0S4 sheep; in 1870 she had
22,33G. while in 1880, Preston had
but 21,0?7 sheep.
Has not the hour struck for the
farmer to unload this grieyous
burden, miscalled protection to
Aool !? WooL GROVER.
