Tbe following figures show the numbcr of slieep In the U.S.between 1880 and 1888: In 1880, therewere 40,705,900; 1881,43,569,.S!t9; 1882,45,016,224; 183, 49,237,291; 1884, 50,626,626; 1885, 50,360.243; 1886, 48,322,331; 1887,44,759,314. The reduction in tinill' on wool went into effect July 1, 18S3, and liitherto the yearly increase liad been 7 per cent. Had our sheep industry as regards number of sheep increased since 1883, when the re duction was made, in the same riitio as t did under the protective tariff of 1867, there would to-day be 04,000,000 sheep, ii - stead of but 44,750,314, a loss of nearly 20,000,000 head of sheep. Some one bas lost tliis. Is t not the farmer? Thercfore we do not think he will vote for the ruin the Mills blll would bring to his Hoeks. One dose is enouph. Despite the crawfishing eome of the weak-kneed demócrata are doing about free trade, expressions keep bui Mug out which show their anlmiis against proleetion. For Instance, Senator Coke the other day said in the U. S. senate: I will just say to the Benator that if there is :iny one thing in th8 wor'd the average Texan would go any numbcr of miles out of liis way to kick and kül and destroy it is a protective tariff. 1 ti a letter Senator Vest recently wrote to a democratie club in St. Louis, hc say : "Mr. Cleveland, by his message, for which I sinccrely honor him, hs challenged the protected industries of the country to u Qghtof exterminntion. The light is to the dcath." This shows that the southern democratie leaders do not regard the Mills bilí as a slight reducfum of the tariff, but as a destruction of the industries of the country. The people of this district do not propose to send a man to congress who will help this destruction. Nor can they allbrd to send a democratie representativo to the state legisbitnre, tor that body next winter elects a U. S. senator. We all know Allen and Sawyer would righlly represent us.
