They Said Wool Was Ruined,
But II Hat Already Adj
vanced 90 per cent,
AwOo. BUYER STONED sv Rspus,ieAns

No Republican cry has boer
louder than the ont that the price
of wool was ruined by haying
the tariff removed. The perversity
Of fate which usually knocks Re
publican predictions into a cooked
hat is again at work and the price
of wool has already run up to %
cents, and is still increasing. The
price before the repeal of the Nc
Kinley law was 10 10 II cents.
The Republican party is making
a national fight in Congressman
VIM. l.. Wilson : district in West
Virginia, and such desperation is
already prevailing there that at
Philip, last week Col. A, G. Crislip,
a prominent wool Buyer, was as
saulted and stoned on the streets
by Republicans because he offered
to buy wool at considerable adj
vance over Mckinley prices. This
shows how desperate Republicans
are becoming and what methods
they will resort Ia.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer of
Sept. 10th, 1894, says: "The cor
respondent at Woodsfeld, o., the
center OF a large wool-raising coun-
try. represented in Congress by A.
]. Pearson, whose place was jeop-
ardized by his vote for free wool,
reports that Alexander Harmon
sold 10000 pounds OF wool within a
week at 26 cents, and was offered as
much for the remainder Of his clip.
This he refused, believing he could
do better before the close of the
year. Clint 4 Pfalzgraff, also OF
Monroe county, have sold their
wool within a week at % cents, it
being a less desirable clip than
that OF Harmon. Miller 4 COM
pany, of Beallsville, o., are Offering
20 and q cents, but are getting no
wool. The wool men are set
against anything shorter than y
cents. The report from Washing
ton, Pa, is that washed wool is sci.
ling and has been for a week at q
and q cents. Markell 4 company
OF Monongahela, are offering anC
have instructed their country
agents to take up $4,000 pounds a
20 to % cents, according 10 grade.
Several instances where wool ha
sold in the West Virginia panhan
die at from 20 to % cents are re
ported. Most OF the wool buyer
are Republicans and the fairy sto
ries they have told wool raisers ar
remarkable. They have used ev
cry means to buldoze buyers int
selling at from Is to II cents ant
have got some wool at those fig
ures.n

DIR. Prices Cream Baking Powder
The Sugar. Planters.

The jubilation Of the organs over
the Louisiana sugar planters bolt
to the Republican party is an ebul-
lition that was expected from that
quarter, over the sealing Of the rot
ten bargain, and it isIn strict ac-
cordance with the code of moral
ethics under which the Republican
leaders have been dong business
of late years.
Republican politicians and or
gans openly applaud this disgrace
full political barter, though anyone
giving it half u thought may see
that it is one of the best points in
favor OF the Democracy that can be
made, for, summed up, it is simply
this: Mckinley Il Co. to buy the
votes and influence of the sugar
planters of Louisiana, gave every
mothers son of them, and they
number 5S7, an average bounty last
year of sl9,l9566, or altogether
$11,1l4,289, out of the national
treasury.
This Legitimate bounty, or pO-
litical tribe, which it really was,
the Democrats have repealed.
Hence the bolt of the mercenary
sugar planters from the Democrat
ic party, which in the interest Of
the people and honest government
refused to continue the bride, which
promises to restore it in the event
Of Republican success.
1t is as plain a piece of whole
sale vote-buying with the peoples
money as ev,r the Republican
| leaders engaged in, for The
wealthy sugar raisers in Louisiana
are no more entitled to a bounty
on their product than are the rails
. era of potatoes and cabbages.

publican party is made up. The!

The Mt Sterling Advocate says OF
the race Joe Kendall is making in
the Tenth district:
Hon. Joe M. Kendall is gaining
votes every day. He is going from
home to home talking Democracy,
and the people are for him, and
that three thousand majority which
we have spoken OF, at tine way Mr..
Kendall is gaining favor, will in
crease several hundred votes by
November. Mr.. Hopkins has moi
yet met Mr.. Kendall on the stump,
and is not likely to. He met with
Judge Beckner once, and when the
Judge got through with him he
looked as if he had been through 9
threshing machine. Bosley, Beck
ner's opponent, has had taste Of
the same thing. Kendall aud
Beckner will represent this district
but neither Of the others could

They are too short"
