of S3.21 per head, in 1896 the number has fallen to l, 1,49l, ,O79 with an average value of Sl l9l. In 1893 the farmers of this country had 47 500,000 sheep and the tariff on wool was II cents per pound. January 1st 1896 these farmers had only 3S, 800, ,0G0 sheep and wool was gress worked harder to put 1t there than MT Bryan How have tho farmers been benefited? Ia 1894 the imports of goods from Bradford, England amounted to SS 215. 234, in 1895 they arose to S27,745,096 from that city alone. Did this produce Ian increased and steady production" in his country? Did it ''extend the markets for their sale?" No wonder an exultant English correspondent is said to have exclaimed when referring to the results: "Hurrah for Bradford-Hurrah for Professor Wilson," No the people of the United States will hardly attribute the plight in which they find themselves to ''the crime of 1973," when the cause is so easily traceable to the crime of 1894. They were promised the markets of the world" in 1892, and instead they have lost their own. Now they are asked to abandon the issue of that year, and they are promised the .'silyer of the world" The old Indian said "w white man fool me once shame on him; white man fool me twice shame on me-. Mind do not claim that a protective tariff eau overcome the iphexible law of sup ply and demand. But do claim that a reasonable tariff and liberal reciprocal relations with other commercial nations, will go far towards neutraliZing the effect of that law upon American in dustry and enterprise.
 In conclusion, the writer, though s stranger to "Democrat" has not a shadow of doubt that he is as patrioti. cally devoted to his country as any man in it, and as earnestly desires its pros perity. We differ as to the methods to be employed. the policy to be adopted, to gain the same end. We have seen the republican policy of protection overthrown and its overthrow followed by widespread disaster. Tue same or similar conditions have followed every reversal of that policy in the past, and yet men were found who denied that these disasters were the result of such reversals, and have earnestly contended that they were due to other causes. l fully expect to sea Wm. Mckinley elected President on the 3rd day oi November next, and that he will indeed prove to be "the Advance Agent oi Prosperity" And if he does. I am sure ''Democrat" will rejoice with me
 Sincerely yours,

 "Democrat" asks why Florida and California will leave the republican col umn.

 President Cleveland said in his speech of acceptance in Madison Square Gar. den in 1892: "We believe that the ad- vantage of freer raw material should be accorded to our manufacturers. We propose therefore, to stimulate our do- mestic industrial enterprises, by freeing from duty the imported raw material which, by the employment of labor, are used in our home manufactures, thus extending the markets for their sale, and permitting an increased and steady pro- duction with an allowance of abundant profits. The manufacturers were given "freer raw material" and what fol lowed? During the last year of the Nc hlnley ldW5 tue Valuo or WOOlen mAnu- factures imported was $l6,853, 900 and dnring the first year of the Wilson German law (so- calledD the value of the same class of imports was $60, 254,- 000 How did this help the .'manu- facturers?"

It is according to all past experience and according to the experience of free silver countries today that debased currency causes prices of the necessaries of life to rise, but that for some reason wages do not rise, or not in proportion. If. there are any who think that wages can be raised by strikes, we would sug' gest that strikes are expensive and un- certain. generally unsuccessful, and even if laboring men succeeded in any olses in getting thelr wages raised in proportion to the rise in prices they would not be any better of than they are now, because their living expensives would be greater.
