Canton, Ohio. August 24.--In his adj
dress to the farmers Of Knox county
today Major BcKinley said:
Under the Republican tariff Of 1885
/ we imported in 1898 over Ill million
Z pounds Of wool. valued at over $1,000

Of wool valued at $ss.77OOOO. The i'm
ports Of wooden goods amount
ed In 1894 to C.s0e, 900, and in 1895 to
t57 4s4. 900. From reports OF the treas
ury department at Washington we find
there were 47,273. 900 sheep in the United
states in 1892, valued at 1925. 200, 900. On
the first Of January. 1896, there were

valued at Ss5. 900, 900 a decrease OF 5000.
600 In number Of sheep and $4,000. 900
In value. In wooden goods the differ
ence is more than $4,000 900 in favor Of
the foreign manufacturer and against
the domestic producer. The total loss
in these three iteems TO the American
wool grower and the wage earners in
American wool factories. is more than
S62, 900, 900. Is 1t any wonder that sheep
husbandry is no longer profitable.
so with other agricultural products.
During the last seventeen months Of
the Republican tariff law there We're
imported into the country 10000 tons Of
hay. and during the first seventeen
months Of the Democratic tariff law
there We're imported $4,000 tons. This
loss exceeds $2,0OO,O00.
In 1872 we exported S1,410, 900, 900
worth OF agricultural products. In
1855 the first two years under the
Democratic train law, we exported ST.
l24.00O,000 worth We exported there
fore s21s, 100000 worth less in two years
under Democratic tariff law than in
the two years under the Republican
tariff law. Depression in agricultural

THE BALLOON.

In the excitement evaused bv the
aeronaut's fall on Saturday afternoon
the general public lost all concern in
the whereabouts of the balloon which
carried the adventurer so high. Not
so with a youth who lives on a
height in the vicinity of the disaster.
He carefully watched the air vessel as
it floated down through the atmosphere
and followed on, at last finding it in a
wood on the southern slope of the hill
with the gas all gone and as fiat as the
proverbial pancake. He said not n
word of his discovery for a while, but
finding 1t necessary to secure aid 70
make away with the prize, he found a
sturdy companion to perform the heavy
work incident to the wreckage. Yes
terday afternoon they were seen 10
come over the brow of the hill toward
town, exerting every muscle to push
forward a Wheelbarrow laden with
their coveted treasure, which much re-
sembled a pile Of coal sacks turned in

appearance of having been coal min,

and is eager to. engage in the cam
paign. So soon as he can arrange
some private business he will place
himself at the disposal Of the Republl-
can state central committee, in order
to take the stump and do all in his
power for the election OF the Republl-
can nominee and the carrying OF Ore
gon for Mckinley electors. Since the
adjournment Of Congress Senator
Mitchell has passed considerable time
in eastern states. and while on his
travels was careful student Of the
actual political situation.
The outlook in the East is decid-
edly favorable to the election Of Nc
Kinley." said the senator TO an Ore
gonian representative today, and /
am strongly inclined to the opinion
that when the election comes Of Bryan
Will be beaten worse than was Horace
Greeley in 1872. On a popular vote Can
didate Bryan viii carry more states
than did Greeley. but when it comes
to striking the balance on the popular
vote the Popocrat nominee win be
overwhelmed.
From what can learn the senti-
ment in the middle western states is
rapidly changing. In Indiana. Illinois,
and Minnesota everything is in favor
of the Republican ticket. 1 do not
consider either of these states the least
doubtful, and the chances are also ia
vorable for the Republicans to carry
Kentucky
When 1 take the stump will set
forth Aly views. In this connection l
may as well state now that there are
several vital questions involved in the
campaign aside from the financial ques-
ton.
There is the question of protection
to American industries and American
labor; the question or national suprem-
acy; the integrity of the organization
and the ultimate decisions Of the ma
tional judiciary. In other words, the
same questions are involved in the COM
ing campaign relative to its policies
and principles over the vindication Of
which the war of the rebellion was
fought to a finish.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

Indianapolis. August 24.-It has been
practically settled by the executive
committee of the National Democratic
party that the temporary chairman OF
the convention shall be taken from the
East and the permanent chairman from
the South. Several names were men,
toned, but the plan seems to be to
make Bourke Cochran, of New York,
temporary chairman and Donelson Caf-
fiery, of Louisiana, permanent chair
man.
The statement made in the East yes
terday that Henry Watterson would
accept the nomination for president un-
der certain conditions, attracts wide at

ma Will Be of Interest.


Tacoma, August 24-The advance
guard of visitors TO the Republican
state convention, which assemblies on

Scobey, Of Olympia, another candidate

far only part of the delegates have ar
rived. The first caucuses are set for

Present indications point to a busi-
nesslike convention that will adopt a
a platform and nominate a state ticket
in fairly short order, after it gets down
to business. Many of the delegates
come unpledged and express their only
desire as being to nominate the strong
est ticket that can be put in the field.

CALIFORNIA JOINS.

San Francisco, August 24,-The Ma.
tional Democratic Club today selected
delegates to the gold standard Demo-
cratic convention at Indianapolis. The
selection of delegates was preceded by
a lengthy debate as to the advisability
of taking such a step.
Oregon, Washington. Wyoming, and
other Pacific coast states will be rep
resented at Indianapolis, said John P,
Irish, "and California should be repre-
sented by all means. We have left the
ear of the public to the Populists and
they have been able to exclude true
Democratic principles from the Dem
ocratic platform and substitute their
own"

Political Damper.

Baltimore News:-"Chairman Yelling
ton relates an amusing incident that oc-
Cured at the Elkton meeting last week.
One of the speakers was a gentleman
from Philadelphia, and he said, i'll the
course of his remarks that Mr.. Disston OF
his city, who had for seven years owned
large farm in Cecil county, had an
nounced his intention of taking up his
residence there in order to become a Re-
publican candidate for the United States
Senate to succeed Senator German. As
there were several candidates for the
Senatorship on the platform, all of whom
have lived the greater part Of their lives
in the State, the announcement cast a
gloom over the faces of many of the dis
tinguished gentlemen seated on the stage.
Mr.. Disston is a very rich man, and the
prospect of having his barrel to fight did
not tend to add comfort to the aspiring
statesmen. Mr.. Henry R. Torbert seemed
especially impressed by the announce
ment as it is we'll known that he hopes
to be Mr.. Wellington's colleague in the
upper house at Washington after 1899.
He was candidate before the General
Assembly last winter, but never received
more than three or four complimentary
votes" -AbbeaL

American Loss and English Gain.

McKinley's election would mean con-
tinuation of the British gold system which
has hung over this country for years
pressing down prices, filling the land
with bankrupts, and extinguishing one
business after another, till our best and
most enterprising men do not know where
to turn to find employment. No one is
able to establish business that he has
any assurance will not be crushed out and
himself driven to the wall in short time.
A farm cannot be purchased with the
slightest prospect of receiving any part Of
the purchase money in return for the
crops, and an unpaid balance is hope
less debt that cannot be lifted by all the
produce the best farm will yield. The
present system of low prices was planned
by the money power of Great Britain.
England purchases almost all of her raw
material and bread-stuffs and to buy them
at the lowest price is her constant gain
and steady loss to the people who have
the raw material and bread-stuffs for sale.
What is a gain to England is loss to the
people of the United States, especially to
the farmers.
