THE FARMERS LOSING
DEMOCRACY COSTS SHEEP RAlSERS
100000, 900.

Both the Live Stock and the Wool Have De-
creased In Value-Every Section of the
Country Suffers Worse Than the scab
and the Foot Rot--Poor Landing Seasons.
The sheep farmers of the United
States have lost over 800, 900, 900
through the decrease in the value Of
their sheep and of their wool through
the mere threat of free trade. A careful
comparison of the number of sheep in
the AZ different states and territories
shows that there was an increase of less
than 1000, 600 sheep between Janu-
airy, 1892 and 1894, q period of two
years. Such wretched lambing seasons
the country has never before witnessed.
The total loss in the value of the sheep
was nearly $50, 900. 900, and the loss
through the cheapness of wool was near
ly $40, 900, 900, distributed among the
different sections OF the country as fol-
lows:

A RIVAL TO THE SAFETY.
Unicycle Which, the Inventor Claims
Can Beat All Wheel Records.

A novelty in the cycling line which is
attracting considerable attention Is de-
scribed by the New York Sun. It is a
unicycle most ingeniously contrived to run
along by its own momentum after 1t has
been fairly set going by the usual pedal
ing method. A forward inclination of the
riders body keeps the wheel revolving,
and it Is said 1t can be as easily stopped
by leaning backward. The same simple
law of gravitation causes it to spin unerr-
ingly round any curve toward which the
rider leans ON either side.
The machine has no steering gear and
is said to require none beyond the tenS-
ency given to it's direction by the poise
of the riders body. The motion is gener-
ated as in o safety bicycle until the small
inner wheels set the outer or travelling
wheel spinning. It does the rest and GOV.

Canadian Hops Coming.

Canada is not generally given the
credit of being able to grow hops, and
most people would say that the climate
was unsuitable for it. Some consign-
ments, however, of hops from British
Columbia were sent over to London last
autumn and sold well. Ontario is now
entering the field, one grower having
planted 30 acres this year and propos-
ing to prepare 20 acres more for next
year. In about three years he states
that he will have 100 acres under hops.
The lower tariff placed upon hops by
our anti American administration
should serve as an incentive to the Can
adam hopgrowers, who may be able
to secure part of our American trade
in our American market.

Farmers know that sheep in this
country increase largely in numbers.
They look forward to the lambing sea-
son because it adds to their flocks, and
every little lamb that lives is worth a
few dollars to the farmer. But there
must have been something the matter
with the sheep between 1899 and 1894.
In the good old Mckinley protection
days there were Al, 93S, 365 sheep in the
United States, yet two years later there
were only 81, 430 more sheep. This is q
very small percentage of lambing. For
the year 1898 the lambing season must
have been very bad, or some plague
must have struck the sheep. Perhaps it
was the free trade plague of Grover
Cleveland. That struck every other part
of the country and blasted business.
Perhaps it struck the farmers sheep
and made them barren.
The American wool clip for 1898
amounted to 301, 539, 1873 pounds Of
washed and unwashed wool. Its price
ranged from IS to 80 cents a pound,
and the total clip was worth sos, SOL, =
OBS. A year later, however, the aver
age price of wool ranged only from 10
up to 23 cents per pound, there being a
loss of from to 8 cents per pound. The
total clip at the beginning Of this year
was worth only $40, 317, 459, loss to
the farmers of 1913, 073, 500.
But this does not cover the entire
wool loss-first, because the nearer we
have been getting to the time when free
trade in wool is to take effect the lower
has been the price of the American wool
quoted, and farmers are not able to OBJ
tain today nearly as much money for
their wool as they could six months
ago. This further loss of money to the
farmers we are not able as yet to arrive
at, but we have shown that there are
$50, $50 different sheep owners in the
United States, each one of whom lost
$50. 88 through the lower value in price
of his live sheep since Democratic
president and Democratic congress
controlled the administration of the
country. And we further find that each
one of these $50, 360 farmers lost $27..
" through the decrease in one year in
the price of their wool, thus making a
total loss to every sheep raiser in the
country of sos. So. What fine Democra-
cy this is, and how it tallies with the
promises of 1892!
That loss in the value Of sheep we
have shown to the farmer was worse
than tho scab. This loss in the value of
wool comes on the top of the free trade
scab like dose of foot rot. In fact, the
present condition of the American sheep
is worse than if it were afflicted either
with the scab or foot rot or with both.
1t will take longer to efface the Demo-
cratic disease than it would to eradicate
all trace of either scab or foot rot or
both. Vote it down.

Tit For Tat.

In small village up the river there is
man who makes his living by catching
the floating wood out of the river, drying
it and selling it for various purposes
Some time ago he caught an extraordi-
narily large log, which was too thick for
him to chop with his ak. He went to the
owner of a sawnill, one of the infuen-
tial men of the town, and requested the
loan of his crosscut saw.
"No,". said the mill owner, II won't
loan my saw to be dulled." "But can
sharpen it again if dull it," persisted
the man. But the saw was refused, and
the wood gatherer was compelled to use
his ak upon the big log. Some time aft
er this an ice gorge came down the river
and carried away section of the bridge
that crossed to the railroad station on
the other side. 1t was necessary for the
sawmill owner to catch a certain train
that day to get to the city so as to make
connection for New York.
He went to the bridge, and finding it
impossible looked about for a skiff. The
only one on that side of the stream b.
longed to the old wood gatherer.
"Go up to old Blanks house and tell
him I want the key to his skiff," said the
mill owner to his coachman, who was
carrying his valise. i
The coachman returned in q short
time with the wood gatherer in tow.
"What do you>want, Mr.. L-"a asked
the old man.
"Why, I'm in q hurry and want your
boat to cross the river" was the impa-
tent reply.
"You do, do you" retorted the wood
gatherer in a dignifed manner. "Well,
you can't have it. You can just cross
the river on your crosscut saw"
And the business man had to postpone
starting for New York until the next
day.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

RIFLE pHYsIoGNoMY.

BIBLE PHESlOGNOM1.
Physiognomy is another index, and
while the contour of the human face
may sometimes mislead US we can gen.
orally, after looking into the eye and
noticing the curve of the lip and the
spread of the nostril and the correla-
ton of all the features, come to right
estimate of a mans character. If it
were not so, how would we know whom
to trust and whom to avoid2 Whether
we will or not, physiognomy decides,
thousand things in commercial and
financial and social and religious do
mains. From one lid of the Bible to
the other there is no science SO recog-
nized as that of physiognomy, and moth
ing more thoroughly taken for granted
than the power of the soul to transfig-
ure the face. The Bible speaks of the
"face of God," the "face of Jesus
Christ, Z" the "face Of Esau," the "face
of Israel, the face of Job, the "face
of the old man," the shining face of
Moses" the wrathful "face of Phara-
ton, the resurrectionary staff on the
face of the dead child, the hypocrites
disfguring their face, and in my text
the Bible declares, "A mans wisdom
maketh his face to shine, and the sour
ness of his face shall be sweetened. " If
the Bible has so much to say about physi
ognonly, we do not wonder that the
world has made it study from the
early ages. In vain the English parlia-
ment in the time of George II ordered
publicly whipped and imprisoned those
who studied physiognomy. Intelligent
people always have studied it and al
ways will study it. The pens of Moses
and Joshua and job and John and Paul
as well as of Homer and Hippocrates
and Galen and Aristotle and Socrates
and Plato and Lavater have been dipped
into it, and whole libraries of wheat
and chaff have been garntrcd on this
theme.
Now, what practical religious and
eternal use would make of this subject?
