Great Industry.
The Wilson Bill and What It Has
Done The Remedy.
Major McKlnley spoke to flip farmers
and wool pro we rs of Ohio on September
1 4 th, as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen. My Fellow Citi
zens: I count it a very special honor to"
receive this visit from my fellow citizens,
composed for the most part of the farmers
of Harrison county. 1 would have been
glad to have had with you that venerable I
citizen and statesman John A. Bingham,
whose message of cheer and eongratula
lion and Rood will you have brought me
(ureal applause.) 1 beg that you will
carry back to him my best wishes and
my earnest prayer that his life may be
long spared to enjoy the respect and hon
or given to him by his admiring coun
trymen everywhere. (Cheers.) I know
of no man in public life to whom great
er opportunity was given and who more
admirably Improved those opportunities
than your distinguished fellow eitzon in
the mightiest crisis of our country's his
tory, and I needed no assurance from
liim that he stands now ns he has always
stood In the past, for his country and liis
countrymen, for his country's honor
and for the prosperity of the people.
(( treat applause.)
It is especially gratifying to me to re
ceive a visit from so many of the farmers
and wool growers of Harrison county.
There Is scarcely a county In the state
which is so essentially agricultural as
yours. You have no large towns. You
have but few factories, ami your occu
pations are almost exclusively rural. Your
county has long been noted as one of the
great agricultural sections of the state,
and especially devoted to that branch of
agriculture known as sheep raising and
wool growing. There Is probably no por
tion of the country of the same area that
has supported so many sheep as yours,
mid for many years at least this was the
most prolitable Industry of your farmers.

Wool Industry's Importance.
As showing the importance of your in.
dustry, it is only necessary to. tiny thai
in lN'.r there were TtKl.iMM)" wool growers
in the Knifed States "I H),0() people
whose chief occupation was that of wool
growing. There were probably one
lourth as many more who were owners
of small Hocks of slice) iu the Tinted
States. This industry employed liesides
those who owned the flocks, it is estimat
ed, at least ."ion,! MM) laborers, representing
with those who were dependent ui
them, nearly 2.."(H),0(M) people. There were
i(HMMM) farms, averaging Kin acres each,
devoted to this industry, and the moun
tainous regions anil the vast plains of
the great West, which are not adapted
to other kinds of fanning, have been
utilized In this great industry and made
valuable. Kvery one of these farms, com
prising Kio acres of land 1 12,(MK).iH)(t
acres in ail have been seriously Injured
by placing wool upon the free list.
In one of the agricultural papers of
the West I have seen the statement that
in Oregon. Ctiih, Washington. Idaho and
Western .Montana, there were Ii.7lil.7-Ki
sheep, which were, worth in 1S!2 jjtbi..

The whole tenor of the Chicago plat
form and of Mr. Itryan's letter leads
Irresbdilily to the conclusion that In
case the' conditions of .Inly. IS'.M. were
repealed. I,f he were presideul.hr
would regard tin- disl urb.iiice as a
purely, local affair and would, there
fore, refuse to intervene,
Tlie fuiirtiment.il error of Mr. ltiy
tin's position Is in regarding such tin
Insurrection as that of l.N'.H as a "l.
fill" affair.- lrt no-sense was it such. II
was part of a vast, conspiracy, which
-extended over a dozen or more states.
The disturbance was merely Ural
i.ed nM'hieago ainl some other points.
It was a conspiracy, not against stair
authority, bin against ihe autlioritv of

WHY WE All E HAPPY.
The liepubliciitis were .1. sirous of
fighting this present campaign out uopn
the tariff issue. T'nev believed that timm
"that single issue alone they could carry
tile country with ease.
I; was in fear of that unanswerable Is
sue that tlie Democracy swung so unan
imously in some sections for tlie money
issue. Tlie attempt to crowd the tarilY
discussion to one side by tlie leaders i-i
Hie Chicago convention and tlie rend.
compliance with that desire on the part
of rt majority of that convent ion was imt
brought al unit by tiny conviction that un
limited silver was the country's panacea
hut by a desire to force to ihe fi-ant .'
die battle a new issue. Tlie tariff issta
musi be strangled 10 death. There was
hope only in the chance of (livening pub
lic opinion from tlie shortcomings of dm
present ndniiuisi ration.
What has been the result? The Ite
ptiblican party lias refused to give up its
I'ailli in proteeiion. It talks protection to
day as faithfully as it ever did. On the
oilier hand, tlie Democratic convention
lias driven more Democratic voles away
from tlie party by its stand on the .nai'i
clal 'ssue than it lias attracted bv bnrv
iug tin- tariff issue. The Kep'ublietiu
parly has done just what the Democratic
party forced It to do. It has met the
money issue squarely and it lias an
swered il to tin- consternation of tin- Dem
ocracy. Leading Democrats all over
tin- nation, have deserted to Ihe lb-publican
columns. Disintegraiiou has set In
in New York state. Mortitictitioh is the
complaint In Illinois, and gangrene seems
to have affeeled Ihe puny in Ohio and
putrefaction is tin- result in Indiana. In
short, a surgical operation to cut away
the abcess of anarchy and repudiation is
absolutely necessary, and even that
seems now to be too late to be of any
bench"!.
The l!epublican party lias not been
frightened into deserting iho tariff policy
that litis made II so successful nationally.
The credit is due to Major McKinley
inore than to any oilier single person. In
addition, it has met the tlnaticial issue
very squarely and discoinliied the ene
my. I h ook lyn Times.

Iu this coiiulry the prosvrliy of the
