that the railroad company owed to the

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

Mckinley was elected through
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 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 Republic
can platform expresses and defines
protection to American Industries. par
ticularly mentioning the farmer, who is
wool grower.
Bryan's election would be menace
to the wool grower in two ways. The
Democratic party has defined its atti-
tude toward wool as raw material,
although it is the finished product of
the farmer. 1t takes whole year to
grow fleece of wool, and in this eli
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 AmCri-
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-
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 dcstruc-
tion of the American Woolen Company,
which consumes 40 per cent OF Aneri-
can wool. on the ground that 1t is
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 rs 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 be left.
Then, again, IT, In order TO strike Mt
the trust. he removes the duty upon
manufacturers of WOOL" he destroys
the other co per cent of the Independent
mills outside of the American Wooden
Company, or, in other words. those
that are not in the trust. The BryIa
policy spells ruin alike to wool grow
ers and wool nufacturers.-Ameri-
can Economist.
