Sheep and Hens and Wool and Eggs.
The insignihcance. of our sheep and
wool industry is seen. when compared
with our poultry and egg. industry.
While the total value of.ourl wool prod
net last year was only $5S.775, 1878,
that of our egg prodact was $145, 000,-
COO in 1899 and probably $200,0000O0
last year.
The value of the 81, 100000 dozens of
eggs laid in Ohio in 1899 was over
S1o,000,000 while the value of the H.
100000 pounds of wool produced there
was only So, 1874 ,20S, and yet Ohio is
by far the largest wool-growing State
east of the Rocky Mountains. If Ohio
sheep could be made to produce as
much value as do Ohio hens. the pro
tectionists there, from Grosyenor
down. might be excused for doing
more cackling than do all of the hens
in that State.
Even the value of the poultry killed
for food is $1S0,0O0O00 year, or two
and half times thevalue of our wool
products.
In view of these facts. why, is there
so much fuss and feathers about pro
lection to our sheep and wool industry
and so little said about the industrious
hen and her valuable egg product or
the part of our tariff worshippers?
Could not our farmers be made to be-
lieye that their far more valuable egg
and poultry industry is entirely de
pendent uponothe duties upon the eggs
and chickens?
Is it not certain that this industry
would be ruined, and that our domestic
hens would Immediately retire from
business if the tariff duties were taken
off and the pauper hens of Europe and
their cheap-labor products were put on
the free list? Are not our protectionist
friends overlooking good thing when
they neglect to fill the Congressional
Record with speeches and' statistics
showing the great benefit of protection
to this great and growing industry :?
Would it not, in fact, be better for
their cause if they would drop the de-
Ginning sheep and wool industry and
let it go to the dogs, where it appears
to be going in spite Of extremely high
duties?

Democratic Nominee, a PIONEER VITA
GOOD Record and Good Ability.
Nobody ever asks who E. Thorson IS.
Not that he is unknown or does not
command the respect and confidence
of the people of Sherman county, but
that he knows everybody and they all
know him. He can look as far back
into the history of this county as any
other man. He conducted q store in
Eustis and when that town lost in the
county seat war, E. ThOrson was first
with a building in Good1and. The store
stood long as a memorial 70 his enter
prise, IN which he conducted a grocery
business for many years, but was swept
away IN the FIRE of January 7, 1908,
then occupied by DOnly & Scott, his
successors at the old stand.
Mr.. Thorson is the democratic candi-
date for sheriff, and has not only long
business career to recommend him to
the voters of this county, but also citi-
zenship that can not be brought in ques-
ton. Good qualities are not only in
him, they were before him. Though
Mr.. ThorsOn came to Sherman county
from Marsailles, Illinois, in which state
he was born near the town Of Ottawa
/ IN 1913, his parents were New Workers
His father was a boat builder, and wal
one Of the men that built the first boa
on the Illinois canal
During his long residence in thi!
county, Mr.. Thorson has never before
been a candidate for any county Office
He is not an Office seeker; has neve
sought public favor from voters for hi:
own advancement or profit. But nov

can see 20 acres of the Philippines, but
not one square rod of the constitution. "
To this utterance there5was not single
adverse reply, and, even republican
newspapers thus far have RETAINED
from adverse criticism of this eminent
judge Of the United States supreme
court.
1t is well known that Senator Hoar,
of Massachusetts, a lifelong republican
of national fame, quite recently deceas-
ed, thundered his condemnation of his
party's. Philippine policy on the floor
of the senate, and adhered to these
views until death closed the scene.
They also know that Congressman Nc
Call, Of Massachusetts,, also a repubIi-
can, in recent speechs has denounced
both high tariff and the Philippine pol
icy. He said: 81 rely upon my party to
reverse itself on these issues" He also
said that no candid person could truth
fully deny that the protective tariff
is responsible for the trusts.
Mckinley in his last speech at Buff
falo, just before his assassination pro-
nOuneed for tariff revision and said that
1.-THE time for exclusiveness in our trade
relations with other nations was past. 3"
Roosevelt, in his latest utterance, stands
for letting the tariff alone, and predicts
the direst consequences if the monopoly
breeding and trust-building tariff IS
meddled with.
In conclusion, the intelligent, indie
pendent voter IS doing some hard think
ing. He knows that the issue of i'm
-perialism cOnnOt be WhiStled down the
wind. and that a trust-building tariff IS
inimical to our form of government,
in as much as II builds an aristOcracy
Of wealth and creates a privileged
class that even now would welcome a
monarchy and hail a coup de etat."
