was promised him, and now THAI

The Journal wants the name of
wool grower who has sold his
wool at raise under the increased
price. Well, here goes. During
the past season it has been quoting
wool at about fifteen cents per
pound. Mr.. NJ. @. Gibson, of Tun-
Melton, dropped in this week and
informed as that he had Just sold
his wool to the Wooden Factory at
Evansville for thirty cents per
pound. Possibly the Journal will
think something is wrong because
MIR. Gibson is member of the
Democratic Com mlttee, so we will
refer TO Mr. William b. Brown, of
Valley District, one of the most
incorporating Republicans in the
banner county, who also sold his
wool at the same place and same
price. We can give other instances.
but haven't room this week.

All this tariff business should be
treated and regarded as purely a
business matter and shorn of all
political connections, if it were pos
sIble to do so. A large number of
the people of this country have al
ways advocated high tariff, and a
high tariff we have had for 10 these
many years. At the same time
quite number of our people have
been equally as firm in the belief
that a low tariff was the proper
thing, and at the last election \
large majority said let's try it. Now,
gentlemen, give us a chance. Let's
try and wait till you are hurt
before lowing about it. If it
turns out to our general disadyan.
tage after thorough trial, it car
be changed and we will pursue some
other way OF doing business. Let
us look at this tariff matter like we
would our own business affairs and
be more practical. IL the Demo
Gratis land they seem to be the pec-
pie just now thought a low tariff
or free list TO be detrimental to the
interest of cur country they would
certainly not want it adopted, for
We would all suffer alike, Democrats
as well as Republicans. Cannot the
latter tolerate any notions or believe
anybody right but themselves.
