BRYAN AGAINST
WOOL GROWERS,
Proposed Policies of Democracy
Would Wreck Wool Growing
Industry

Mckinley was elected through a
number of Rocky Mountain states
which had voted for Cleveland. These
states were Democratic because of the
large mining population. They turned
to Mckinley on account Of the severe
punishment they had received by plac-
ing wool on the free list during the
four years Of the life of the Wilson
Tariff act, which on the theory of free
raw material swept away the duty
upon wool, and this nearly destroyed
the wool growing industry of the
United States; and If it had not been
saved by the Dingley act, which re-
stored the Mckinley duties upon wool,
the industry by this time would have
been wiped out in the United States.
Bryan hopes to carry Wisconsin, which
is a wool growing state and the Rocky
Mountain wool growing states which
voted for Cleveland the last time. APP
parently he expects the wool growers
to overlook the fact that the Republi-
can platform expresses and defines
protection to American Industries, par
ticularly mentioning the farmer, who Is
a wool grower.
Bryan's election would be menace
to the wool grower in two ways. The
Democratic party has defined its attl-
tude toward wool as a raw material,
although 1t Is the finished product Of
the farmer. 1t takes whole year to
grow a fleece Of wool, and in this cli-
mate, where sheep are fed in winter.
they are fed crops, which represent la
Dor and high-priced American labor,
whereas the competitor Of the Ameri-
can wool grower is the wool grower Of
the Southern Hemisphere australasia,
the Argentine Republic and South Az
rica), who has the advantage Of peren-
NAL pasture, and owing to this advan-
tage, the cost Of wool growing is only
one-half Of that Of the American wool
grower who, in the states enumerated,
have to feed their sheep in the winter.
Another way to destroy the American
wool grower would be by the destruc-
ton Of the American Wooden Company,
which consumes 40 per cent Of Ameri-
can wool. on the ground that IL is n
trust. The American Wooden Company
is composed of what were formerly
some Of the largest mills Of the United
States. They are thus what Bryan
would denominate trust" and as his
platform boldly declares that the pro-
ducts OF trusts should be put on the
free list, he would destroy the market
for what American wool would he left.
Then, again. If. in order to strike mt
the trust, he removes the duty upon
manufacturers of WOOL" he destroys
the other GO per cent of the independent
mills outside of the American Wooden
Company, or, In other words, those
that are not in the trust The Bryan
policy spells ruin alike TO wool grow
ers and wool manufacturers Anlcri-
can Economist.

years a Jeffersonian Democrat, fails to

William Weems, lifelong Democrat
OF Frederick, Md, has announced that
he will not support Bryan ut the cleo
ton. Bryan is too chimerical In his
views for the chief executive of great
nation" says Mr.. Weems.
John r. Dorsey, Of Baltimore, vice.
president Of the William r. Hooper &
Son Company, manufacturers of cotton
duck, is another Of the many Baltimore
Democrats who have come out warmly
for Taft.
Gen. Simon Buckner, who ran with
Palmer on the gold Democratic pres
idential ticket, in an interview in Balt!-
more, said that Bryan was not Demo-
crat and that he intended to vote fo-
Taft. Bryan is populist and
said the general.
These examples are only few Of a
number all over the country
which could be enumerated. Yet they
serve sufficiently to show the popular
state Of mind.

1.-The function Of the next admins
tration is not to be spectacular In the
enactment Of great statutes laying down
new codes Of morals or asserting new
standard Of business integrity, but Its
work lies in the details of furnishing
men and machinery to aid the hand Of
the Executive in making the supsrvis-

full, so constant. that the business men
engaged in 1t may know promptly when

Minnesota and Iowa for Taft.
Bryan Is not to receive the solid labor
vote Of Minnesota. Contrary to the re-
peated predictions and efforts of Demo-
cratic labor leaders there appears to be
big split In the ranks of organized
labor, and Taft will receive his due
share OF votes from the union men.
Fifteen of the most prominent union

THE ADMITTED SUPREMACY

Is chiefly due to the fact that its
workmen are better fed than
those Of eny other country.
In the Spanish-American War
1t was "the man behind the gun"
who made the American victory
so quick and decisive.
And 1t is due to "the man be-
hind the gun" in the factory

manufacturing is capturing the
markets Of the world.
The American workman can
do more work and better work
than any other workman because
he is full Of energy and vim-be-
cause of his better food, clothing

cheap labor of Europe.

an extent that the American
workman is paid almost three
