Flint Globe: The value of sheep. like
any other piece of property, depends upon
the income. the owner can get out of it.
George w. Button, of Flushing, yesterday
sold the wool from his fock of thorough
bred Shropshire sheep at IA cents pound.
Last year, little before the Cleveland adj
ministration tgot many of its fine work, he
sold the wool from the same flock for 81 u
cents pound. In. one year the price of
wool dropped more than 33 peri cent, and
fully one-third. That drop. measuring the
loss Of income, fixes the standard of value
Of the sheep. A similar fall In the prices
Of wool and consequently of sheep, would
measure what the Democratic administra-
ton has cost the flock masters of the coun-
try so far-a drop of .one-third Of their
value-which meaus an aggregate of mil
lions Of dollars in that one line of productive
industry. A pretty costly luxury, this DEM
ecratic administration, isn't it?
