Taken at His Word.

Senator VOORHEES,, in a speech at
jefferson, Indiana, on Monday
evening, was foolish enough to
make this prediction:
"Wool viii sell within two weeks
at prices higher than prevailed at
any time under the Mckinley Act. ="
Upon reading the above Mr..
Theodore Justice, the head Of the
wool buying firm Of Justice, Bate
man & Co., Of Philadelphia, wrote
to Mr.. VOORHEES, and pointed out to
him how he and his friends could
make a colossal fortune. American
wool has been going down ever
since the new tariff bill was passed.
Indiana merino, the finest produced
in the state, has declined II per
cent, and Ohio Xxx, which is the
standard grade Of American wool,
has declined Is per cent. The
price on March l, 1898 was 3O5
cents a pound, and in March 1891
it was 344 cents.
Mr.. Justice offers to furnish Mr..
VOORHEES, or any of his friends,
Ohio Xxx in unlimited quantities at
is! cents, and shows him that upon
each million pounds he will clear
100000 if his prediction comes
true. He also pledges his firm to
furnish 80 per cent of the required
capital, if Mr.. Voorhees, will con-
sent to buy. OF course Mr.. Voor-
hees was talking for buncombe, and

AMONG the evils entailed by the
German sugar trust tariff bill is the
wiping out of the system of reel

the southern republics have begun
to flourish. 1t is now announced
from Brazil that after January l
next, the reciprocity treaty, which
admitted -four and provisions from
the United States into Brazilian
ports free of duty, will be at an end.
1t has created a big stir among Bal

To the Old Soldier.

The Administration has done
what 1t promised you.
1t has saved twenty-some millions
of dollars this year in the Pension
office. 1t has saved it but at your
expense. 1t has saved it by reject
ing your honest claims. 1t has
saved it by cutting down your rate
Of pension, 1t has saved it by the
many and questionable ways and
practices known only to a Demo
cratic Administration IN dealing
with the defenders and saviours of
the nations life.
Could you, however, expect any
thing less from a party that makes
the custodian Of your rights such a
man as Hoke Smith? The greatest
insult heaped upon you was the
selection of this man to pass upon
and adjudlcate your claims for pen
sion, but on the 9th of November
you will have the opportunity to re-
sent the injury.

Getting Down to Figures.

In order to satisfy the people who
are going to vote for Congressman
in the Second district of West Vir-
ginia on the 9th day Of November,
Prot. Wilson will have to be trife
more explicit. Instead of using
figures away up in the hundred
millions, and talking grandilo-
quently about the "unescapabIe
correlation OF export trade" he
must discuss these matters as they
affect his constituents individually.
Many of them own sheep, and are
sellers of wool and mutton. Their
interest in the vast interchange Of
trade of commercial nations does
not 60 much farther than a COM
parison of the prices they used to
receive with those they now get for
what they have to sell and the mon
ey they have to pay for what they
buy. They judge of the value Of
political parties by the cash bal
ance in hand at the close of the
year. 1t is perfectly right to bring
the tenets of platforms and the re
suits of legislation to this test. 1t
is the only test which appeals to the
practical man. Glittering general
tiles about the barriers of trade
avail nothing to the man who finds
1t hard to make both ends meet, or
to the sheep raiser who discovers
his profits sadly reduced or entirely
eliminated by the removal of these
barriers.
A West Virginia fockmaster who
has 100 sheep and shears 500
pounds of wool gives these figures:
This year he sold his wool for 158
cents a pound, and the best offer
for his 100 lambs is 3 cents per
pound. Under the Mckinley law
he sold the same quality of wool for
80 cents per pound, and lambs foz
4! cents, Estimating the weight
Of the lambs at G5 pounds, the
highest weight that shippers Wiz
buy, he figures up the difference as
$119 in favor of Mckinley prices
over Wilson prices.
Satisfactory explanations Of the
benefit to be had from a change
which brings about such results,
are what the people of West Viz
| gina are asking from Prof. Wilson.

ARE THE farmers of Garre

ARE THE farmers of Garrett
county content to accept $1.75 for
their lambs now when only a year
ago they received $3.50, and 124
cents for their wool when rs cents
is its legitimate price?
Are the lumbermen OF Garrett
county satisfied to have their mills
stand idle when the hum of industry
in their line pervades the wilds of
British America?
Are the sugar producers of Gar
rett county willing to give up their
bounty on the products of their
camps while the coolies # the West
Indies are busy harvesting their
crops of cane and the sugar trus; is
growing richer under the fostering
care of Democratic legislation?
Are the coal miners of Garrett
and Aliegany counties willing to
work for thirty cents per ton while
the Dominion Coal Company is sup
plying the natural and usual mar
ket for their product?
If our people are content with
these conditions then they should
vote for Ferdinand Williams, the
apostle of English Free Trade, low
prices and lower wages. If, how
ever, they believe in the American
system of Protection to home in
dustry, home interests, good prices
for their products and high prices
for their labor, they should support
George L. Wellington, the champion
and defender of their fresides,
their homes and their prosperity.

merchants of Ookland at six cents
per pound. If we remember cor
rectly just prior to the enactment
of the German bill the same grade
of sugar sold at five cents and less
per pound.
Two or three merchants in Oak
land are paying seventeen cents
per pound for wool in small lots
and it is asserted that the loss sus-
tanned by them is borne by the
Democratic committee. One Of
these merchants was offered ten
thousand pounds of wool at sixteen
cents per pound but he would not
buy which clearly goes to show that
the seventeen-cent business is
purely campaign arrangement
and by its workings votes are ex-
pected to be secured for Mr.. Will
Jams, but 1t won't go.
In this connection it may be well
to state that Mr., Hirsch, of Gum
berland, who buys nearly all the
wool produced in this county, was
in Oakland last Tuesday and when
asked what he was paying for wool
said that fifteen cents was the high
est price and that he did not care
to handle 1t at that price, Mr.
Hirsch is a Democrat.
Of course we expect that our es-
teemed contemporary will take
exceptions to the above statement
but 1t is the truth nevertheless.

Free Trade. Those authorized to
speak for him in Allegany county
have announced to the people that
Mr.. Williams is in favor of free
wool, free lumber, no bounty on
sugar, and for free coal if his party
desires him to be.
HIS position is all that the rank
est advocate of English Free Trade
could desire or hope for.

Of Garrett county. HIS vote in

If he had a million Of dollars IN
bank, waiting a chance for profta-
bic speculation, he wouldn't buy a
pound of wool. He knows that
American wool is gong down.
There has been a great deal Of
cackling oyer the advance in the
price Of wool in foreign markets.
Mr.. Justice explains to Mr.. Noor-
hees that the reason Of this is the
increased consumption Of foreign
wool by the American mills, to the
exclusion Of the home grown wool.
The new tariff has not yet gone into
effect as to manufactured wooden
goods, and the American manufac-
turers are making the most Of the
little remnant of protection that
has been left them, and are work
ing up cheap foreign wool into
American goods. The wool grow
ers caught the blow first, and Mr..
VOORHEES, with all his oratory, will
not be able to convince the Indiana
wool growers that free wool will
advance the price. They study the
market reports more diligently than
he does.

The Free Wool FaIIacy.


With but one dissenting vote,
cast by Democrat, the OHIO Wool
Growers association, in thirteenth
annual convention at Columbus,
last Tuesday adopted a protest
against free wool that is replete
with significance. So sharp and
keen is it that we are persuaded to
republi8h it entire.
"For over seyenty-eight years, .
it says, "there have been high tariff
duties, more or less protective, upon
wool. The German law not only
denies wool growers the benefit of a
tariff for revenue, but places wool
on the free list, though not one cit
izen by petition to Congress, asked
it. Until President Cleveland S
free wool message of December,
1887, all political parties favored
protection for the wool industry.
The price of foreign wool imports
is now so low that without protect
i've tariffs American wool growers
cannot successfully compete with
them. Free wool as a permanent
policy would substantially destroy
the American wool industry and in
a large measure annihilate the cap
ital invested therein. The threat
of free wool has reduced the value
of our As, 900, 900 sheep nearly $40,
900, 900, and reduced the price of the
wool clip of 1894 more than $780,
100000 below the normal under
adequate protection. The German
law attack on agricultural interests
is aggravated by the fact that the
odious whisky trust and the sugar
trust and others are amply provided
for and protection professedly il

essary as to wool. We propose to
be honest, always have been and
always expect to be. Now for the
figures: Take for instance Il suit
of all wool clothing. In that suit
are FIVE pounds Of wool. The
Mckinley duty on that five pounds
of wool was fifty-fye cents. The
retail price Of the suit is perhaps
$40. With the duty off it brings
the price down to 1915. A farmer
who produces a hundred pounds Of
wool brings the wool to Oakland
and sells it for 10 cents per pound.
He thus looses on his wool the diff
ference between % cents, the price
of wool before the Democrats came
into power, and Is cents, the price
now, which is 10 cents per pound.
