ures concerning the number of live
stock on farms il the United States on
January /, 1898. The report says there
were "l3,o60,o1i horses, 2,257 Cos mules,
IL, SAC, $50 mich COWS, 2Q,264,19 oxen
and other cattle 37,65G,06O sheep and
81, 75o, 093 swine. or the II states re-
porting total OF over 100000 OF hogs,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska show an increase.
and Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and eight
southern states d decrease. There Is
marked increase in the value Of live
stock on farms reported from almost
every section OF the country
The largest increase in value has been
in sheep, the farm animals whose value
Is most affected by the presence or alb
sence ~ fair degree OF protection.
While IL Is true that the 45,000,000 cattle
owned IN the United States command n
higher market price than would pre-
vail If there were no restriction upon
the free importation OF animals from
across our borders, and while the same
Is true rs to horses, mules and swine,
the most ruinous effects OF foreign COM
petition are visible in the case OF sheep
and their great staple product, wool.
Free wool under the Wilson tariff cost
the farmers OF the United States an
average OF more than one dollar per
head of their sheep in the reduced value
which resulted from the free admission
OF the low-priced WOODS OF all creation.
In many eases the loss was far greater
than one dollar per head. For example.
i'm October, 1894, two months after the
Wilson tariff went in operation, ut an
assignee's sale i'm Jefferson county, o.,
several lots OF fine black top merinos
were knocked down at 60 cents each
for ewes. 20 cents for lambs and so cents
FOR registered bucks. To-day. accord
ing 10 the secretary Of the Ohio state
board OF agriculture. ewes OF the same
grade are worth three 10 four dollars
each, lambs two dollars 20 $3.50. and
registered bucks Si5 TO S25."
II Is conseryatively estimated that the
gain In values of sheep and wool as the
direct result OF the Dingley tariff
amounts TO upward OF 500, 100000. Not
long ago the Des Moines Register. one
OF the leading daily newspapers OF
Iowa, printed figures showing that for
the four years of Wilson-Gorman free
trade the loss in values OF farm animals
in the United States amounted 10 So
SOC. 100000.
II will therefore be seen that the Sec
rotary Of agriculture puts tho ease very
moderately when he says: There is n
marked increase In the value OF i've
stock on farms reported from almost
every section Of the country" The
benefits 90 farmers must be reckoned
by hundreds OF millions OF dollars.
