WOOL AND FARMERS.
Political sheep Rot as Peddled Out to Our
Farmers by the Wilson Bill.


Speaking of the result of allowing
wool from Australia, South America,
Turkey and South Africa free import
privileges, Mr.. Burrows. in his speech
of January 9. 1894, gave the following
graphic picture:
I'm the case of the American wool
grower il is not within his power To
reach the conditions, IL such step
was desirable, Which would enable him
TO successfully compete with the for
eign producer. High-priced lands, a
rigorous climate. American wages and
the cost of transportation offer an ir-
resistible barrier to the successful
prosecution of this industry in the
United States under free trade.
"How can our flock masters contend
with Australia in an open market
where 600, 600 pounds of wool are
produced annually from fiocks grazing
on lands which are rented for penny
an acre year? Or with the $50. 600, 900
pounds of annual production in South
America, where lands are free and
labor commands only scents day. Or
with Russia's 100000 pounds pro-
duced with is cents daily labor? Or
with South Africa, Turkey and Asia.
where 10 cents day is the highest REQ
ompense awarded in this industry?
Under free trade these countries
could put their wool down in our mar
kets at price less than the cost of
production here, and the consequence
would be the complete destruction of
this great and growing industry in the
United States. This would be attend
ed with the sacrifice of AZ 900 600 sheep,
in which 1000. 600 farmers have invest
ed 500, 600, 900 in capital and the ADAM
donment of extensive ranches with all
their valuable improvements. 1t is idle
to contend that with free wool this i'm
dustry could survive.
O''0ur farmers are too intelligent to
be deceived, and they are already sell
ing their fiocks or driving them to the
slaughter pen in the hope of saving
something from the general wreck
which is sure to follow. | regret that
time and space forbid the presentation
of protests in my hands, from thirty
four states and territories, against the
contamination of this atrocious out
rage. Yet this would probably fall now
on deaf ears; but the time is not far
distant when they will be heard. The
gentleman from West Virginia Mr..
wilson,, in his speech of yesterday,
in advocacy of free wool, summoned
to his support statement of repre-
sentative from the state of Texas, to
the effect that the industry of wool
growing can be carried on as cheaply
in that state as anywhere on the globe;
and that free wool would not therefore
be injurious to the fiockmasters of
that state. Against this assertion
interpose a remonstrance fifty feet

Industrial Developnient Under the Pro-
tectlys Esoflcy


Under the inspiration of our pro-
tective policy there has been an indus
trial development in this country that
has no parallel in history. Under its
provisions. and by virtue of It's foster
ing care. a traveller has been lighted
from New York to St. Louis by the
furnaces along the line. IL has built
half a dozen trans-continental rail
ways and developed system reaching
To every state, county and almost every
hamlet In the land. Within ten years
this system has reduced the cost of
transportation of farm products more
than one-half. as general average.
Nearly every locality has seen i'm
dustries of various kinds spring into
existence as if by magic. We have be-
come a great workshop. and millions
CT intelligent laborers, employed under
better conditions than in any other
country on the face of the earth, have
furnished to the farmers of this land II
home market for their every product.
The farmers of the country have
learned, especially during recent
years, that the well paid. intelligent
wage workers consume more and pay
better prices for their products. and
pay these prices right at the farmers
Coor, than they can obtain by ship
ping abroad to the poorly paid and
half starved laborers of other coun-
tries. The farmers in our northwest
know that in nearly every village,
certainly in every small city, they
have from one to many of these
factories, and that the laborers therein
receiving, as they do, from one
and a half to two and half
dollars per day can consume
C ,nsiderable portion of their farm
produce. They know that besides
these local factories are the immense
hives of industry in the eastern and
New England states: that this army of
millions of workers. none of which
under present conditions are produc-
ers of farm products, are all eonsum-
ers ready and willing to take abund-
antly and for good prices.
These farmers have learned that it
is better to sell at home and in their
own country and to their own people
than to be obliged to send all their
surplus to foreign countries where
competition is already too great and
where the poverty of the people is such
as to make them small consumers.
They also know that to break up our
present industrial condition will re-
suit in throwing more than a million
non-producing wage-workers out of
work, reducing their capacity to pro
duce and consume, and eventually
driving many of them to the farm,
where they in turn will be active
competitors in the production of farm
crops.

sBDemocracy is nearing the next
general election with that awful,
hopeless feeling that besets a man

sEThe sugar trust having been con

sB-The government is in great need
of revenue. yet the democratic senate
deliberately postpones for six months
the date when the sugar duties go into
effect, in order TO allow the sugar trust
to pile up millions of profit = Troy

No political party in modern
times ever inflicted SO much injury on

The profits, already Unfortunately

swelled to the extent of many millions
