MCKINLEY ON PROTECTION.

Let England take care of herself, let
France look after her interests, let Ger
many take care of her own people, but in
Gods name let Americans look after
America. Every days labor upon the
foreign products sent to the United States
takes one days labor from American
w~orkingmen. 1 would give the days
labor to our own, first, last, and all
the time, and that policy which fails
in this is opposed to American interests.
To secure this is the great purpose of
a Protective Tariff.-Hon. William Nc
Kinley.

The drouths of last January and
February in Australia have shortened
the wool crop of that country by at
least 10000 bales, remarks the Albu-
querque Citizen. This would be all
right for America il she had her usual
quantity of sheep, but she has not.
Under the Mckinley tariff, there was
an increase of focks to the extent of
nearly 1917 per cent. Since the inau.
guration of the Wilson tariff, there has
been a decrease of 10 per cent, as
every f%orehanded wool grower sold off
his sheep for just what he could get
and invested the money in something
else. And yet, says the Los Angeles
Times, there are those who pirate about
carrying the four great wool-growing
states Of California, Oregon, Idaho and
Montana by a free silver fight. The
free silver ticket will not catch enough
wool growers to make a decent funeral
procession for q halfway respectable
hod carrier.

New Mexico possesses 1000, 600
sheep, which produce, yearly, not less
than 1900, 900 pounds OF wool. IL Is
The principal resource Of this Territory.
BY the placing Of wool on tho FREQ list
by the present democratic admiulstra-
ton, the price has boon depressed be-
low the cost Of production, and, as p
result Of this, thousands Of pounds OF
fine morino wool are nov lying in
storage in the Territory, which its
owners are unable to sell, ard they are
paying heavy interest on the money they
have paid for its production, its pres,
ent value having long since been con
sumed, leaving the producer in debt
almost to the degree of bankruptcy
Three years ago, sheep that were
worth SO 20 to SO so per head, and
found ready sale at those figures, are
now valueless for breeding purposes,
and choice mutton sheep that have
never been sold for less than So 90 per
head, now bring not TO exceed 81 20
per head. At the current price in the
eastern seaports, where our wool is
transported, our wool IS to-day worth
about nine cents per pound; deduct
freight, securing and market charges,
it will only net the grower a price
of about four cents per pound, [
is at least six cents per pound below
the cost OF the most economical pro-
duction under the present conditions in
this Territory.
The continuance of the present range
OF value for our main product, and
which may be fairly expected, under
free wool, will bring ruin to the sheep
industry Of the Territory, and wide
spread loss and disaster to the mercan-
tile and other interests dependent upon
Its prosperity. There are thousands of
people in New Mexico entirely depend
ent upon the wool interests. With
free wool, this industry must be
abandoned and as there is here no
other avenue for them to carr a liveli-
hood, they will be reduced to the ut
most distress and suffering. Free wool
at the present time means the destruc-
ton OF 1000, 900 sheep in the United
States valued at 800, 900, 900.
Free wool has already caused our
present years wool product of 300,-
900, 900 pounds to shrink in value to the
amount of $50, 600, 900. The effect OF
the destruction OF the sheep interest
does not need to be anticipated or
figured on. 1t is practically with Us
to-day, in the form of an object lesson,
sufficiently real and distressing to OBJ
viate any necessity for argument. Pro-
tectionists and free-traders alike agree
that the so called test OF principles has
been amply sufficient, so far a the
wool interests are concerned, and they
ask, even plead, for no more demon
s rations.

IL Is claimed that the plaintiff has
made improvements on the properly in
part performance OF the oral contract,
and that On that ground specific per-
Torrance should be decreed- It is true
that part performance will under some
take an oral contract out
Of the statute of frauds But for this
purpose there must be clear proof Of the
contract itself and that the acts of part
performance were made In reliance up
On and in pursuance OF the contract.

Still in Good Shape.
Roanoke News.

The comet which was recently
discovered heading for this little
earth Of ours, and which was to
have hit us a good SQUARE lick
Saturday failed to materialize
and the earth is in good shape.
Many people actually believed
that the comet was to strike the
earth Sunday and few were
really nervous about it.
These scientists are really clever
fellows. In all their predictions
there is always a hole left big
enough for them to crawl
through. For instance, they
said the comet would strike un-
less the earth was spry enough TO
dodge it, i'll which event it would
miss and go shooting on towards
the sun. Well, it missed, Of
course, and now the knowing
ones will say, "just as we pre-
dicted.' y
When will the people learn to
ACCEPT the great truths of the
Bible and know for a certainty
that no living human being on
earth can know anything about
how, or when the earth is to be
destroyed
