farmer is benefited, because 1t has
greatly reduced the price of WOOL"
Is this true? No. If a wool grower
takes the trouble to examine the
price of wool in the market reports
he will readily see that wool has
taken rise of 5 cents per pound,
over the price paid when under
McKinleys high tariffbill the high
est in the history of our country
and had it not been for the repeal
of the Mckinley bill wool would
have taken another downward
turn. AS it is, the price has taken
the upward turn and there is no
doubt but that wool will again
command profitable prices.

Gov. MCKINLEY, in his speech
at Findlay, Ohio, last Thursday in
his one theme, informed his audit
ors that Administration voted out
of power in '92 was one of the wis
est the country had ever known.
The country begged leave to differ
with said Administration upon that
head, and its judgment was kindly
ascribed by the repudiated regime
to the result of popular ignorance,'
the people did not understand what
they were doing.
Mr. McKinley's one speech and
one night only,is no doubt based on
the same estimate of popular intel
ligence. Presuming that his hear
ers did not read the newspapers, he
cited for their information, in proof

no rest on the tariff question. when
in fact, tariff agitation is his entire
stock in trade, tits he and his
"gang," not the Democratic party
that is doing all the agitating.

Greatly Reducing Our Car
rying Trade.

A tariff is urged upon us by those
who would place so high duty
upon foreign merchandise as to
prohibit the importation of any ar
ticle which this country produces
or can produce. Besides placing
ourselves in an attitude Of perpet-
ual hostility to other nations, and
greatly reducing our carrying
trade. we should make monopolists
of all the leading manufacturers of
the country, who would fix the
price of their products at their dis
cretion.

A LOOSE PLANK.

This remarkable plank of the
New York Republican platform Is
worth reading:
1--WE denounce the Federal Ad-
ministration for surrendering an
annual revenue of $8,000,000 on
wool and imposing burden nearly
ten times greater BY levying q tax
on sugar, the commoncst house,
hold necessity"
This is unique, even among tho
lumber which goes into Republic
can platforms this year. 1t would
be interesting, for instance, to know
where we imposed q burden Of$S0,-
OOC, 900, of taxation by levying u tax
on sugar. Even under the higher
sugar tariff which preceded the Me-
Kinley Bill the revenues from the
sugar duties did not much exceed
one half $S0,0OO,OO0, and 1t is not
estimated that the present sugar
tariff can bring in more than the
half of $SO,OOO,O0O, while 1t will
save more than $50, 100000 yearly
in sugar bountis.
Again, the New York Republi-
cans denounce the Democrats for
surrendering tan annual revenue
Of sO,0OO,OOO on wool" and impos-
ing the sugar-tax burden instead.
But in surrendering the revenue on
wool we remove from the wearers
of woolen clothing not only the
burden of $1,000, 900, but a burden
many times greater than that,
which never found it's way into the
National Treasury. T he sugar tar

burden of $sO,OOO,OOO itself it frees

thing near $780, 100000 which they
formerly paid on wool and other
articles.
The New York Republicans,
without intending it, have given
an exceedingly strong Endorsement
Of the new tariff law. They have
put in their platform loose plank

is likely to fly up and hit a head

The Ohio Executive Committee Issues
Manifesto.
The following manifesto, issued
by the Democratic state executive
committee, officially outlines the
preliminary work of the campaign:
There will be no formal opening
of the campaign, as that thread
bare expression goes. There will
be number of meetings held in
leading centers of business and
population, at which speakers of
national Importance will be heard.
Many distinguished speakers have
signified their willingness and
readiness to speak for the Democ-
racy in the Ohio campaign.
"In addition there will be county
town, township and schoolhouse
meetings, addressed not only by
local speakers but by men Of prom
inence from outside. The initial
one OF the more prominent meet
ings has not yet been decided upon
as to time and place, but will prob.
ably be held at Mansfield about the
middle of October. The names of
speakers will only be announced
when the date and place of meet
ing is definately fixed.
1.-THE reports from county and
district committees, as fur as re.
ceived, are favorable. They leave
no doubt as to the election of Dem.
ocratic congressman in the Third
Fourth, Fifth, Twelfth, Thirteenth
and Seventeenth Districts, with
even chances, or better, in two
more, and excellent prospects in
three additional. The Populists
seem to have the best of the situa.
tion in one Republican District"
