Sheep and the Tariff.

Sheep raising and the wool industry is
one of the points where the agriculturist
can see the direct benefit ACQUIRING to
him from protective tariff. In this con
nection, comparison of various tariffs
of recent years in relation to this indus
try is interesting.
From 1878 to 1882 the Morrill, protec-
tive tariff was in force, and the number
of sheep in the United States increased
over 100000 During the same period,
the average price of sheep per head
steadily increased from 500 to S2.52.
From 1888 to 1889, the tariff duties
furnished no protection, the duty on raw
wool amounting to no more than a rev.
enue tariff on manufactured yarns, etc.
The number of sheep in the country de-
creased about 100000 during these
seven years and the average price per
head ranged from S1.9l to S2.37.
The Mckinley protective tariff increas-
ed the number of sheep nearly 100000
from 1890 to 1892, and the average price
per head rose to 1896 in the latter year.
Under the Wilson free trade law from
1898 to 1896, sheep decreased in number
about 100000, and the average price
per head fell as low as Sl.5S.
When the Dingley law was enacted,
the sheep industry began to pick up, and
the number of sheep increased 100000
up to the close of 1898, while the average
price per head rose to S2.75-the highest
of any year in the 20 since the enactment
of the Morrill, tariff.
The above are from statistics furnish
ed by the U. S. government, and are re-
liable. The figures for 1899 will be pub
lished about May /, and will doubtless
show very gratifying growth of this
important industry for the year.

On page $50 of Bryan's book, "The
First Battle" is found this display of
financial insight and foresight: 1.-The
gold standard means dearer money;
dearer money means cheaper property;
cheaper property means harder times;
harder times means more people out of
work; more people out of work means
more people destitute; more people des-
titute means more people desperate;
more desperate people means more crime"
And more Bryan politics means fresh
lot of predictions that turn out exactly
the other way.-St. Louis Globe Demo

The true northerner., 1900-04-04

In the Courier last week. Supervisor
+. A. Chase of Waverly insinuated that
the Northerner lied about the amount of
county tax paid on $1,000 valuation.
1t would have been very easy for Mr..
Chase to verify the fact by look
ing up the public records in the county
treasurer's Office, or by calling at the
Northerner Office and inspecting the orig
inal tax receipts. The Northerner told
the truth in this matter, as it always
aims to do in any statement made.
