A Free Wool Experience.

An Oregon farmer writes as fol-
lows:
In 1892 | got 20 cents per pound
cash in Myrtle Point for nay wool
as it cane from the sleeps back.
| had to haul it twenty-three miles.
In 1898 | shipped to San Francisco
and got Is cents, paying all
charges, leaving me 1871 cents per
pound net, In 1894 | delivered
again III Myrtle Point and received
10 cents for the same quality of
wool, cut from the same flock of
sheep-the first quality clothing
wool-for which l got 20 cents in
1892. l forgot to state that in
1898 no merchants would handle
wool at Myrtle Point. There was
no cash there and all transactions
were for store trade. tits the same
elsewhere through this part of the
country. The value of the sheep
has also deprecated from one-third
to one-half. The farmer who grows
only $50 pounds Of wool suffers in
proportion equally with the larger
farmer who raises 10000 pounds.
All the farm products have fallen
in value. Live beef was worth p
cents in 1892; it was worth only 2
cents in 1898, and 1! cents this
year. The actual loss per head on
the two year old steers that will
average 1000 pounds gross is $3.50.
Sill there are some Democratic
farmers who will shut their eyes
and vote the Democratic ticket in
the face of all these facts. Some
old time farmers see things straight
and are now amazed at their own
former blindness.

VERMONTERS WILL SUE.
Sugar BOuntles Earned and Not Paid
Will Be Demanded.

RUTLAND, Vt, Sept. 20.-The
licensed maple sugar producers of
Vermont will unite in inshtuting a
suit against the United States Gov
eminent for earned bounties on the
crops Of 1894, the payment Of which
has been refused by the Secretary
Of the Treasury. The suit Will be
brought before the United States
Court of Claims.
The licensed sugar producers in
Vermont for 1894 numbered more
than 1000. From March 1 to May
1 more than 100000 pounds pro-
duced by dealers were tested at the
government laboratory. Fully 90
per cent. passed inspection, which
made about 1000, 900 pounds en-
titled to receive the bounty Of one
and thFee-fourth cents a pound, the
product of about $500 makers.
Few, if any, checks in payment
Of the earned bounty were received
Wy ChC producers prior 10 the pass
age of the Wilson bill. In many
instances the sugar producers went
to considerable expense in pur-
chasing new and improved evapora-
tors and apparatus. The amount
of claims involved exceeds $50, 900.
The producers act upon the
advice Of ex-senator George F,
Edmunds, who says: 1.-THE refusal
Of the Secretary of the Treasury to
pay the bounty to licensed pro-
ducers of 1894, which was accepted
and tested by the government, can
not be justified either in law or
equity. Every cent OF bounty due
under the Mckinley act is collectl-
ble."

The Difference.

In 1892 100 pounds of wool
brought 1926, which sum bought 500
pounds of graduated sugar at 5
cents per pound, In 1894, 100
pounds Of wool brings $14, and bays
200 pounds Of granulated sugar at
Z cents pound. A clear loss of
three hundred pounds of sugar to
the farmer, or the wool producer.
How much IS free wool bereftting
the people? And how much cheaper
do You buy your clothes? Call on
any merchant tailor in Grafton and

"What's the matter with free
wool?" our Democratic friends
query.
80, it's working beautifully. 1t
is filling its intended mission. 1t
is doing what it was designed and
intended to do"
1t is destroying the business
prosperity of the American wool
grower, of the American farmer
and giving a better market and
greater prosperity to his foreign
competitor who does not need feed
his sheep. From the Democratic
point of view it is working charm
ingly.
The robber barons, that means
the farmers and wool growers Of
Garrett county, have been called
down, have been Inundated, have
been invited TO take lower seat.
One-half Of their profits have been
cut off; one-half of their means of
getting along in the world and
earning living has been confis-
Gated, has been annihilated, and Of
course the Democrats are happy,
and their newspapers are growing
over it. If they had told the truth
about 1t perhaps it would not have
been so. Perhaps if their dupes
had known what they were voting
for they would have voted differ
emily.
But who ever knew a Democratic
newspaper or politician to tell the
truth? We said free wool would
reduce the price of wool. They
said free wool would increase the
price TO the producer but were de-
handing cheap wool for the manu-
facturers. Who told the truth?
We said the success of the Demo-
cratic party would produce stagna-
ton in business. They said it
would produce a revival of trade.
We said wages would be reduced
and manufacturing would be greatly
restricted. They said wages would
not be reduced, that labor would be
better paid and more fully en-
ployed. Who was right?
They said, but they lied when
they sand it, that the Mckinley
tariff did not increase the wages of
labor. 1t will be remembered that
a Senatorial committee composed Of
Republicans and Democrats found,
and so reported over their sigma
lures that the wages had been
increased and that on account of
more constant employment the an
nual earnings had been very largely
increased.
But what is the matter with free
wool? The Democratic papers are
presuming again on the ignorance
Of the rank and file of their party. !
They assume as usual that the peo-
pie are so densely and pafpably ig-
norant that they can be made
believe anything, however false or

bad We are going to lick Williams in
November. Mr.. ". is a Cleveland
Democrat and supposed all of us
the same. Come back Mr.. W. and
see us again; we will not hurt YOU
unless you get on a Democratic
ticket.
We may vote for Williams If he
viii assure us to vote to give the
sugar trust SAC, 900, 900 more Of our
cash.
Some OF the Democratic brothers
IN our district in the National cam
paign of 1892 howled that the Re
publican party was making the rich
richer and the poor poorer. In
1891 and 1892 our farmers, when
they hired a man for a few days,
Mr.. Farmer had the rocks IN his
jeans to pay his man when done
work. This harvest | have not
heard of one farmer who has hired
and paid any cash. We wanted a
change and now we have it. Three
cheers for Wellington.

The Elkton appeal Cecil coun-
ty) says: Every jail should have
its workhouse department, and
either in or out Of doors every con-
Wet should be kept at work. The
cost of maintaing Jails and prisons
would then be reduced to a mini
mum, and in addition to that the
jails would cease to be the homes of
loafers and FOUNDERS whom the
public is compelled to support. 1t
costs Cecil county a large sum of
money every month to board the
prisoners in the jail, with at least
one-third Of this cost, if not more,
for the keep of tramps. Our tax
payers have to pay to maintain these
shiftless waits of society, and as
those who pay the taxes are obliged
to labor, it is perfectly legitimate
question whether those who live off
their earnings ought not also to be
made to work for their board. If
some scheme could be adopted to
make such project practicable, it
would, no doubt, tend to lessen the
connty'8 wards. 1t is possible that
a solution of the stone-road ques-
ton will be found just here, and
the people may obtain this public
improvement at a cost that will
make them practical and not bur-
den to the taxpayer

Another Fire.

The large planning mill belonging
to kinsinger Bros, near Grants

last Friday morning, mourning a
loss Of several thousand dollars.
The books of the company was also
destroyed, they being in the build

mill was a comparatively new one
and was fitted up with the latest
improved machinery. 1t is thought
that the fire originated in the shay
ings scattered about the mill.

The appointment of Mr.. Brydon

lifelong Democrat. His many
years experience as successful
