"What free trade has done" is the
heading, in the Oregonian, to an extract
from the klickitat Sentinel, in which the
writer states that ga few years ago when
the price OF wool was II cents and over
the sheepmen were prosperous, and goes
on to expatiate about the fall in price to
one-half, and impossibility Of recovery
under the shadow Of free trade. In the
adjoining columns under the head of
local quotations, is the following: "Wool
10 q 12c." Evidently the
scissors editor had not kept close track of
