Sheep and Wool.

Let every American sheepman re-
member that a vote for Bryan is a vote
for free wool.
Manufacturers lofts in the United
States are nearly empty and sooner or
later must be replenished.
Wool at present prices is the best in
vestment we know of. The grower
knows it as we'll or better than we do and
is holding on to it.
The worlds wool is in strong hands
and will not be sacrificed. Montevideo
alone is holding over twenty million
pounds rather than force it on a dull
market.
Is there a single SAINT American Sheep
man who wants to see another four years
OF "black Friday" sheep times such as
we had under the Cleveland regime? If
so, let him vote for Bryan and free wool.

UNDER date of August 2, DR..
Morrison, the Pekin correspond
ent of the London Times, tells
that as late as July 2 the Chinese
government urged the Boxers to
continue their work and that all
appeals for Intervention and pro-
testations OF friendship since have
been due to the victories of the
allies at Tien-Sien and not to any
honest purpose, He says further
that the probable safety of the lie,
cations up to July % was not due
to Chinese good faith but to q
shortage of ammunition. This
message is considered authentic
and may result in a declaration Of

The Texans View.

Texas sheepmen are of the opinion
that the stagnant condition of the wool
trade is only temporary. There is a
mild commercial war on between buyers
and sellers, each side being unusually
obstinate. 1t is said that two million
pounds of wool are being held in Texas
for better prices. In the west and north
west there is the same disposition on the
part of sheepmen, though at Billings,
Montana, a large amount of wool has
changed hands during the past week at
AK cents. This is not as much as
fock-masters had hoped to get, and is
several points lower than a year ago, but
buyers are independent and do not seem
eager to buy even at these prices.

constitutional disease, requires a consti-
