Grangeville Globe.
In another column the Globe says
that the reason the price of wool ad-
vanced was because of a heavy short
age Of the wool crop for this year.
While this may be true and We will
take the Globes statement for it,
yet ii seems that so heavy a short
age is almost unaccountable for in
the short space of one year.
But if it was on account of heavy
shortage of the production of wool
that made wool advance about 30 or
rs percent in one year would it not
sound just as reasonable to say that
the reason barley and oats and other
products decreased in price was on
account Of the unusually heavy crop
OF all these products? Statistics
show that these crops are very much |
above the normal Why did not the
Globe mention corn and wheat too7
Both of these products advanced
The tariff was entirely taken off of
wheat and corn and tariff of al
most 81 cents hundred was left on
barley and good tariff left on oats
yet he claims or calls this little duty
of 81 cents hundred or about So. 20
q ton, free trade. IF they can raise
barley for 81 cents a hundred less
in other countries and pay the
freight and ship it in here, and COM
pete with our home grown barley
why not take the tariff ALL off and
buy up this barley and feed it7 Itlt
is certain the farmer could make
more feeding this barley if he could
get il that much less than he has
ever been able to make raising it.
Now let's be reasonable for a
little while any way and don't try to
make things appear different from
THAT they really are, just because
vou did not get things your own 8
gay. You had them that way many
Tears and if We are not badly mis- u
AIKEN, the price of wheat, oats and 10
arley and all other products varied o.

price than they have during the v,
asst three years, one and half Of hi
'hich was under republican rule and b.
lie other under democratic. Is it ov
1t fact that at times during the
lst twelve years and under repub- -
an rule the prices Of all these pro- =
tets have been less than at pres u
tn .
Then let Us say that when we have
unusually big crop of any product,
; price goes down and when we @o
We a light crop the price goes up =,
Iether we have high tariff or ~
v tariff. When we have a big Gu
op We export wheat, barley and

these products can the Globe ex- as

we have a shortage Of crops and cor
