statistics Of 1899 give the number of
sheep in the United States as s47. Or 553
The number has been greatly cut down
since then. All last winter the market
was fairly glutted with mutton, not the
refuse OF the flock, nor yet full grown
wethers, but lambs Millions of them
who had never felt the shears were

shambles. especially in farm regions
Ranch sheep are not III quite as much
danger. From wool point OF view Ohio
leads all the states, having 4,37S 721
sheep, with no other states anywhere near
her. except Texas and California. Each
of the three goes beyond the 4,OOO,OOO
mark, while no other reaches the 5000
600 mark.
with the exception OF Australia the
United States leads the world in the pro-
duction of wool. and it is precisely this
excer- ion that renders protection indis-
pens; ble. The total annual production
of all countries is put down as 2.4o6,-

That great combination will buy TINS
sugar crop Of the world and bring 1t into
the United States free of duty. Hut this
crop is for next years consumption, and
the Sugar trust will then add the price Of
the tariff which will protect it from
othe. refners abroad. 1t is estimated
that the average tariff on sugar will be
about IL cents pound. and on 1000
OOD,ooO pounds that would place S4S, ,OOO,-
900 in the pockets Of the Sugar trust in
exchange for the SoOO.OOO it contributed

'.The consumption Of sugar by tire
American people in 1892 was 600
pounds per capita-that is, 62.O9 pounds
of sugar for each man. woman and child
IN the United States-and the Sugar trust
would be able to tax each one of these
individuals - cents 4 pound extra. or -
cents apiece In the average family Of
five this tax would amount to S31' u
year on the breakfast table. This would
be a case where the consumer paid the
tax, but not the government. 1t would

How much the farmers Of the United
States have suffered already from tariff
agitation 10 man can tell Their direct
loss may not be enormous, but their in
direct loss amounts to millions. The want
of employment for millions Of workers,
reduction Of wages, have forced down

have felt the consequences i'll the lowest
prices ever known for farm produce.
! The Mckinley law gave the American

In 1860, eight manufacturing states

together with New York ani Pennsyl-
vania-returned an aggregate wealth Of
s., 1913. 900, 600. Twenty years after
ward. by the census of 1880, the same
states returned an aggregate wealth of
Sf6, 22s, 900, Noa The rate of increase
for the 20 years was slightly more than
2l6 per cent.
Let us see how the agricultural states
Jared during this period. BY the census
of $50, eight agricultural states of the
Illinois. Indiana, Iowa, Kansas.
Michigan, Minnesota. Nebraska and
Wisconsin - returned an aggregate
wealth Of s2,27l. 900, 900. Twenty
years afterAard, by the census of 1880
-protection all the while in full force
these same states returned an aggre-
gate wealth of s11. 26s, 900, 900. The
raNe of increase for the 90 years was
3os per cent. or $50 per cent greater
than the increase in the eight manu-
featuring states of the east.
The case will be equally striking if
Va take the 10 southern states that
were slave holding in 1860. By the
census of that year, the aggregate re-
turn of their property was IS, 1872, ,OOo,-
900. But 81. 900. 900, 900 was slave
property. Deducting that, the total
property amounted to 81, 1872, 600, 600.
Their aggregate return Of wealth by the
census Of 1880 was 1898, 900, 600.
The rate of increase for the go years
WAS 80 per cent. Consider that during
this period IL states of the south were
impoyerished by civil war to an exfai'
far greater than any country had Deer
despoiled in the wars of modern Eu'
rome. Consider that the labor system
on which previous wealth had been ac
ouired in the south was entirely broker
no. And yet, at the end OF 20 years
the southern states had repaired al
their enormous losses and possessed
nearly double the wealth they had eve
kpovn before. Do not these figures IN
