SHEEP RAISERS
Have Been Buncoed, According
to Judge Lawrence.
Dtpsiey Law IL In the Interest Of Enet-
ern Manufacturer, and Not For
the Protection of the
Ohio Farmers.

Judge William Lawrence Of Bcllefon-
taine Is the bell wether Of the Ameri-
IAN WoolHrowers' association. He has
been spokesman of the nockmasters
for years and his mission has been to
fool the farmer who owns sheep into
voting the Republican ticket in order
that the G. o. p. could do something
for him. He says that the farmers
who believed in free silver carried five
states for Mckinley because they were
more opposed to free wool than in love
with free silver.
Congress has adjourned. having
passed a tariff law. 1t has paid off its
debts to the corporations and trusts
and Charley GrosveDor had been tell
Ing the farmers that they had not
been overlooked.
Judge Lawrence is out In q two-col-
umn interview In which he presents
fearful arraignment. After going
through the wool schedulesof the Ding
ley law systematically and demonstrat-
Ing conclusively that they we're written
by the New England carpet weavers
and shoddy manufacturers and not for
the woolgrowers, he closes with this
statement:
1T never does any good to deny the
truth or to state an untruth. l will
NOT do either. must say the new
tariff act OF July "a, 1897. viii be less
protective and more ruinous to the
American wool industry than any wool
tariff we ever had. The woo!growers
are cheated in the new tariff. The
pledge of the most ample protection
for wool has not been fu.nllco."
Surely the most blatant calamity
howler could not have used stronger
terms. When the Reput lean orators
appear on the stump this fall to tell
the farmers about the beauties Of pro-
tected wool our readers will remember
these words of your uncle, Bill Law

The senate amended the Dlngley bill
by O unanimous vote providing for q
tax on stocks, etc. This would have
raised 100000 from the Wall street

burden from wealth and placed 1t on
the millions OF toilers. How long,

A Republican auditor of state in his
report says s,34s saloons paid the Dow
tax in 1897, and 10.177 saloons paid the
tax in 1896. The internal revenue de-
partment OF the United States collected
tax from 1888 saloons in 1895. Here
are 6.656 saloons that have paid tax
TO the Federal government, and must
have paid the enormous sum of ST.
535, 900 Dow tax. They have to pay this
tax TO do business. Where is It? Who
got 1t? This is fat picking. These fig-
ures are vouched for by the New York
Voice. When saloon pays the Dow
tax the money ought to go into the
treasury and not into the pockets OF
some well-paid officials.
