Mr.. CieveIand's First Administrator
Under the Republican Tariff La"
Of 1899

In discussing the first administration
of President Cleveland yesterday
the Journal inadvertently stated
that it was under the Mckinney
law. Mr.. Cleyelands first administla-
ton was under what was called the
tariff of 1888, a distinctly protcctionist
measure. passed by a Republican Con-
gress and signed by Republican
president. Mr.. Mckinley was MEM
Der of the Ways and Means Committee
which formulated this law and bore d
conspicuous part in its work. me
tariff measure, however, which was
distinctly known by his name was not
enacted until 1890 We make the fore
historical accuracy. and to correct an
inadvertent error which did not how :
ever affect the force of the argument.
The fact remains that during the whole
of MIR. Clevelands first administration
a Republican tariff law, protectionist
measure, passed by Republican Con-
gress and signed by d Republican
president. was in force. 1t was under
this measure that the splendid treasury
surplus of MIR. Cleveiand's first ad-
miniStration was accumulated and its
debt-paying record accomplished.

Maine Sheep and the DinaIey Law.

| The Journal replies not WORD OH
the question of wool protection and
| Maine sheep. That we take to mean
that tie Journal cannot answer y
silent admission by the Journal that
the principal article of the Dlnsiey
tariff WAS disastrous to Maine.-LeWls-
| ton sun.
the readers of the Sun would get the
impression from the foregoing edl-
torial passage, that this was re-
cent question which it had put
tc the Journal and to which it had
never received an answer obviously
this is the impression Our Lewiston
contemporary intends to convey. Ger
tainly no one would suppose after
reading the passage above quoted that
the Sun had weeks ago put this ques-
ton to the Journal and been ans aercd
at length; but such is the fact. As
far back as the ID of last June the Sun
demanded that we tell the farmers of
Maine what the Dingley tariff on wool
had done for sheep raiselS. This we
did on June Sd at considerable length,
from the official records of thr .Agri-
cultural Department at Washington.
Report No &c on sheep anu Wnor' is
sued from that department contained
the following statement. which We
then quoted:
an 1894 was enacted a law making
wool absolutely free, as well as all
forms Of shoddy used in its prepara
tor. The effect was instantaneous.
Prices of wool and of sheep declined.
resulting in destruot ton of fiocks. and
Indifference and neglect of their care.
''rhe law of 1897 followed restoring
customs duties on wool The effect of
this act has been to restore confidence
in the future wool growing and a larg-
er degree of prosperity. though the
enormous accumula ton of foreign wool
has retarded manufacture and sale un-
til quite recently. For two years the
mill stocks and the wool markets were
weighted down with foreign wool Es-
Inmates of the trade authorities made
the supply in January, 1900. 100000, 600
pounds less than in the preceding
January. Consumption has been I'M
precedented, and manufacture extreme
ly active. The value of sheep is near
ly doubled
So much for the facts. The Sun
says the number of sheep in Maine has
decreased since The Dingley law went
into effect
IapC h. Sim rn.attyr lia1 hat "a
doubling of the value of sheep under
this law was the cause OF such de-
crease:
During the last year of the Wilson
tariff law wool was selling in the Bos-
ton market at from 6 to l. cents a
pound. On June 1. 1907, it was SELL
ing in the same market at from % to
80 cents a pound.
Does the sun honestly believe that
this splendid increase in the selling
price of wool under the Dinglev tariff
law was responsible for driving sheep
off our Maine farmso
II view of the foregoing facts would
mt it be Il tiilc more logical to seek
the cause Of the decrease of sheep in
Maine elsewhere than in the Dngley
tariff law,
We think So
We may add, in passing, that during
the first eight years that the Dingley
law was i'll force the number of sheen

The Sentinej's Humor.

II is evident that the idea of an eX-
preston of the will Of the voters OF
Maine under the Initiative and Refer
endum upon the question of whether
or not they desire to abandon or retain
the prohibitory principle, such vote tc
be taken at a special election, has filied
the soul of the Waterville Sentinel with
serious apprehension. At first it at
ment off the track by declaring that
the proposed resolve submitting this
whole question to PUBLIC expression
of the popular will could not be \ot-

error of this position-and ali nlen

to laugh the whole matter out of court
