FIAT PRO ,psRhY.

Devotion to Mehini-yi-m Horn Of the Dis
tross"s OF usri iim-s
Ihere Is cause for the marveling OF
the Mckinley bosses over the Me-
Kinley tidal wave which is sweeping
over the republican party. IL Is n
crazs for which no reasonable explana-
ton can lie offered. Four years ago
Mckinley was condemned almost as
vigorously by the republicans rs by
the democrats. Members OF his own
party admitted that he was zone
Idea" extremist who could not be
trusted to direct legislation. McKin-
leyism was universally execrated as
the cause OF most of the woes into
which the country was then entering.
The democratic campaign, directed al
most wholly against the Mckinley
idea of protection, resulted in Il land
slide.
Now this scntimentin the republican
masses is reversed. Mckinley is hailed
as the deliverer of the country from
the pinch of hard times. His name is
associated with prosperity Rcpub-
licnn leaders who attempt to combnt
the uprising are driven TO the wall.
The Mckinley worshipers refuse to
listen to reason. Their devotion is
blind and fanatical.
The truth Is that the blind devotion
to McKinleyism is founded on u delu-
sive hope of fiat prosperity. born of the
distresses of hard times The McKiu-
ley worshipers cherish the delusion
that in some mysterious way McKin-
ley's election Will cause a complete
change of Industrial and commercial
conditions. In the current language
of this belief the wheels of factories
and mills will begin to turn, cold Chin
neys will smoke, trade will resume and
labor will find employment at good
wages" AS one OF the republican
bosses snid with sneer, five minutes
after Mckinley Is inuuguruted the man
who has goods to sell will yet so per
cent more for them, the laboror out of

GROWTH OF AMERICAN WOOL
The False Claims of High ProtcctIoni,,a as
to the Mllsnu Iarln Exuasad

The False Claims of High ProtcctIoni,,a as
to the Wilson Tariff Exposed.
The Mckinley organs are claiming
that the repeal of the duty on wool
has caused IL large reduction In the
number OF sheep in the United States
As proof of their assertion they quote
from a recent report Of the department
or agriculture, which shows decline
of about 100000 sheep during the
year 1898. as compared with 1894. This
Is alleged to have been wholly due to
tho Wilson tariff, and the wool grow
ers are urged to vote for protection
md restoration of the duty on wool.
While It is true that there has been
q falling off In the number of sheep
during the past year, it is not true
that the decrease was caused by the
Wilson tsriff. The business depres-
nlon which prevailed throughout the
country In the last two years of the
Mckinley law WAS chic fly responsible
for the low prices OF wool and mutton
which led to n reduction in the wool.
growers hocks. The revival of bust
ness which followed the adoption OF
the tariff Of 1894 has not yet had time
to bring about the better condition in
the wool industry which will undou bt-
eddy como with the rapidly increas-
ing demand for wool. If trade and
manufacturing are left undisturbcd
by high tariff ayitators, the American
sheep-raisers will soon be more pros.
porous than under McKinlcyism. TO
show that the mum Der of sheep in any
one year does not depend upon wool
duties, it is only necessary to give the
official figures during certain years
when protection was in full force.
Thus In 1884 there was In the United
States so. 626. 600 sheep In 1887 there
were only 4i,75o. s14, and by 1899 the
number had fallen to ~, sos, O79 re.
