Oswego. oct. 26.-Oswego County Is one " ths
sturdy Republican counties Of the state. 1t awaya
give, a good Republican majority" said Ex-senator
George b. Sloan. to-day and it will give large On.
this year. This opinion Is also held by the other
leading Republicans of the county; and they have q.
cellent reasons Tor thinking so, in view Of the fac,
that the Democratic party Is torn with dssenson and
the Republican united in opinion as they
have not been for years before.
An attempt has been made by the Democratic Stat.
Committee through Democratic newspapers, to give an
impression that there Will be falling OF in the Re-
publican vote, compared with that Of 1s6s: and
the reason for this, It Is stated Is dissatisfaction In Ii.
county with the duty upon barley imposed by the
Nc Kinley Tariff act. 1t Is true that the mailing
interest OF Oswego was dspeased with the imposition
Of that duty, the matsters fearing that 1t would shut
out Canadian barley, large quantities of which ver.
brought Lake ontario from Canada and landed AZ
Oswego for In it, malthouses. But the farmers
OF Oswego County and indeed OF all the counties aon
the boundary line Of Canada have been delighted With
the effect OF the duty. giving them market 0r
their barley and shutting out Canadian competition
The present month they especially pleased the
duty, since it prevents the importation OF lara.
amount OF cheap Canadian barley. The market reports
OF the Toronto newspapers show that on Friday last
harley Vas selling there for As cents a bushel. IN.
market reports Of American newspapers the dsy
state that barley was selling In the United States
for from 30 TO - cents bushel. The farmers.
Democrats a. We'll a. Republicans. that were It
not for the duty on barley, thi, cheap Canadian barley
would enter into the keenest competition with theirs.
and the result, undoubtedly, would be that the
American price ol that grain would sink to the Canadian
level Every farmer thus Is conscious that he is OBJ
tslning higher price for his barley. owing to the
existence OF the Mckinley Tariff and he l. not In
clin.d to cut his throat financially BIZ vouns-su5'

Canadian competition in respect TO these and farmers
