lands now unemployed 1t would also in
crease the demand for hay. oats, etc.
John Reimers, an intelligent German
of Grand Island. Neb. who has a ranch
of 1000 acres, has stated that large num-
bers of sheep were pastured in Wyoming
and then driven into Nebraska to be Win
tered on hay. fodder and corn raised
there, and that the sheep owners of Wy
| oming shipped into that state large guam
| titles of corn from other states for Win
ter feed for sheep, especially for those to
be sold for mutton.
Thus the farmers who own no sheep
| are deeply interested in sheep husbandry
Free wool will substantially destroy
sheep husbandry and the market it makes
for farm, products. And yet John REIN
ers is Il free-wool Democrat.
1.-THE total annual exports of corn from
the whole United States. from 1870 to
1889 inclusive. We're only 5G,7S6, S64 BUSH
els, or 3.9 per cent. of all produced. Ohio
produced about one-twentieth of the
corn crop, so that its proportion of the
annual export was 1,S3S, 443 bushels,
while the needed increase of sheep will
make increased demand for nearly five
times the export market. and then the
foreign market will still be open to Ohio
besides.
'"rhe food supply has increased more
rapidly than our population. In period
of thirty-nine years. ending 1889, the
creased 175 per cent, corn has increased
257 per cent, wheat 3S9 per cent, oats
All per cent, swine 6G peg cent. and
cotton seed oil is just recently made an
article of food like lard. The necessity
for increasing our home market Tor corn
and oats is pressing. The importation
of wool diminishes the home market; an
increase OF our t1ocks eniarges it. Our
policy is, import no wool, produce all
needed and enlarge the farmers market. .
Some Strong Points in short Paragraphs.
The increase in the public debt between
January l. 1893, and August 1, 1894. was
$50, 100000. SO much for the fear of
free trade and it's relief of the BURDEN off
taxation from the plain people.
The great pacing race between the
famous teams. Perhdy and Dishonor. and
Cleveland and Reform. Will end in an
easy victory for he former- The other
team will be lucky if it avoids being dis,
tanced.
Immediate advances in the retail price of
sugar will do more to remind the plain
peOpIe of Democratic perhdy and dishonor
than half a dozen of AR. Cleveland's most
sulphurous letters. There is little lkeli-
hood that the infamy of Mr.. Clevelands
associates wills soon be Forgotten,
Census returns recently conupied show
shat nearly hMlf of all the families in this
country own their homes, and that more
than 70 per cent. of these hOn0es are I'M
mcumbered. lii the free trade stfeamers
know of an alas-tariff aatiom capable of
making more striking showing than
