Remarkable Increase in Numbers and
Values During the Past Four Years
i
Hie farmers of Oregon are about to
write the opening page in the history of
the political campaign of 11)00. Early in
June ot this year occurs the election ol
which State officers and two representa
tives in conuresB are to bo chosen. Two
years ago Oregon set tbe pace wiiL a
republican plurality of over 10,500. The
couditiora brought About by the return
of prosperity throt'h Ue triumph of re
publican principles and policies dinned
an increase of some 8,000 votes oyer the
plurality in the presidential election of
lS'jG, and Oregon was taken out ol the
list of doubtful etr.tea.
Next mouth Oregjii sounds the first
note in the campuigii of 11)00. There is
much reason to anticipate a result as en
couraging and as valuable to the cuco
of good government and sound legislation
as was the result of the state and con
gressional elections of June, lS'.'S. Ore
gon's flgricuPvT1" voters have- nhnm'iun
cause for Confirming the verdict of two
yenra ago. Something liko.3,C00,000 sheep
rg owned in this state. In lSOd, accord
ing to the government report?, Oregon's
"...X nh,L,u,iAl"iAiuii nd tu av-
erago value per bead was $1.30. It
interesting to note the chauges iu the
sheep raising situation in Oregon that
have occurred sines the f-ee wool of the
democratic free trade tariff of lS'Jt gave
place to the protected wool of the Ping
ley tariff cf ls97.
In response to incpiiried font O'U by
The American Protective Tariff League,
iu connection with its sheep census, 07
repui ;3 are at band iro:n the State of
Oregon. These inquiries are in eub
stance, as follows :
1 Number cf sheep owned in March,
1S!1!, (free wool period; and average
value per head?
2. Number of sheep owned in Mar-h,
llrtu) .'Diugley Protective Tarill' period),
Bud average value per head?
The G7 replies are from 07 sheep rais
ers in various parts of Oregon, and they
disclose the following stale of facts :
Number of sheep, March, 1S, (free
wool period C",5yi; average value per
brad, U.6S.
Number of sheep, March, 1900, under
Dingley Tariff period 8S.W2; average
value per ticad, f3.S0.
tjain for March, l'JOO, under Dingley
Protective Tariff on wools, in number of
sheep owned, 2o,o03, or 30.84 per cent.
Gain for March, 1000, in average value
per head, 2.''l, or 131 per cent.
On the estimated basia of 3,500.000
sheep for the whole state, the increase
in value for 1900, as compared with tbe
democratic free wool year of 1896, is up
ward of $7,700,000.
At thid rate of gain, how long will it
be, under the encouraging stimulus of a
Protective Tariff, before every pound of
wool needed by the manufacturing in
dustries of the United States is supplied
by the wool growers of the United
States? How long will it be before Ore
gon's sheep flocks will have reached a to
tal of 7,000,000? American Economist,
