TARIFF AIDS THE FARMER
SHEEP IN MICHIGAN.
COLONEL MTLl-tl-'S | XTRAOItDIXART STATE
MEXT8 AT DO-XKSTOWN, COXCEUX1XD
SHEEP, COMFLETELY AXSWERED.
f>cm __? -Veekly Trlbunr of F-bruarv 25. 1. "1.
Tbe peaccful flocks of Michigan liavo liecomc
the theme ot controversy.
Colonel A. K. McClure, of Fhiladelphia, in a
recent free-tra.le speech at Doylestewn, Fenn.,
made the startling statement that " a frcc-tratle
teriff would better prutect the farmers of the
United tSUrtes than a high tariff." As proof an.l
illustration, he said: ' Twenty years ago with
free wool, Michigan had 4,000,(00 alieep; to-day.
with high t4.x, that State _HM ofily 2,000.t)00
head." The Colonel thcn ealled upon me twho
waa to follow him the next evening in favor of
protectionj to explain, if possiblc, thia state o_
affairs in my own State.
In complying with his request, my auswer was
simpty thia, that his statement was not true. 1
deoied that Michigan had ever, at any time, had
4,000,000 sheep; and I also denied that wool had
been on the free list, any time twenty or twenty
flve years ago. I then showed, from the census
reports, tbat sheep had constantly iuereascd ii)
numbers in Michigan, with tlie exception, per
hapB. of one brief pcriod, up to 1883, at whioli
time the tariff ou wool was reduCed, aud that the
decline in the numbcr of sheep in that State
had taken place since that reduction of the tariff.
I showed further that the same state of facts
had existed as to the entire Uuited States.
Upon my return from an cxtensive absence from
the city to keep various engagements for speeches
on the tariff and lectures, I lind upon ny table
a copy of "The I .liladelphia Tiuies'' of January
20th (the paper conductc-d by Colonel Alexander
K. McClurei, containing tlie followiug article:
?? Ex4__.ngres.sman Horr, of Michigan, addro-scd the
Farmei-' Inatltute of liucks County, at Doylesiown,
on Friday cvcniiig last, on the tsritf and its relatlon
to tlie farmcr. Mr. McClnre had addressed the In
Btltnte the precedlng evening on Uie same, subject, and
Mr. Horr devoted mueh of his speech io onswer to
tbe vlews exprcssed before the Institute by Mr. Mc?
Clurc.
"On two vltal questlons of faet Mr. Horr poslUvely
contradlctod Mr. McClure. One was the qucstion of
the decline of wool growlng la Mr. Horr's own State
under high taxes on wool, osmnslbly to prote't the
fanner in the giowth of sheep. Mr. McCluro staied
lhat Michigan had, ln a quarter of a century, falien
ofi in growth of sheep from over 4,CKK),t)00 to a llttlo
liver _,00O,0OO, to wlilch Mr. Horr answered. if cor
rcctly reported ln both ihe Doylostown paperc, that
M__bb_aa never had 4,000,000 sheep. and that her
sheep growing had increased in.tcad of decline- under
high taxes on wool.
?? Tlie ofllcial returns of alieep grown in tlie tstata of
Michigan, as shown by tho Uiiltod States Agricultural
reports are as folloa s:
? 8,473,075,188-. 2,8.0,762

??Mr. Horr does not dispute with Mr. McClure Jrt
disputlng Mr. McClure's stat-inent.-. as to tho growtll
of sheep ln Michigan; he simply disputcs tho uigbest
officlal records of the Government. Pos-ibly he did it
Ipnorantly; probably not.
"The same facts are shown in the growth of 6hecp
ln Pennsylvanla. In 1800 we had 3.230,440 sheep ln
this State, Biid under high-tarlff t__e. on wool we
bave steadily declined until we have only ?3..,040.
The decline ln Michigan ls wltliin a small fniction of
one half. The deciluo ln Pennsylvania is more than
two-thirds.''
lt seems from the foregoing extract tliat Colonel
McClure stlll insists that his original statement
wa* correct, and that my reply is untruc. Having
given him the bencfit of publisliing liis entire
reply, wiil he now do mc the justice to print my
auswer? Here are the cxact facts, as near as I
am able to lind tliem:
The census returns for 1800, now being tabu
lated, indicate tliat there are at present 2,240,000
sheep in the State of Michigan. But thesc are
sheep of a wool-beariiif,' age. Ti.e iigures do not
iuclude lambs under one year of age, any moro
tb in th y do pi_-, or cat-. or .Ioks, or anv other
B_on-wool-bearii_i. aniuia_?. Tbey simply incluiie
sheep. "-_- all documents about wool and sheep
the custom is invariahle to keep lambs and sheep
iu a scparate list, and lambs are never even ealled
Kieep. ln order to ninke up 4,OO4),OO0 haad,
twenty years ago, Colonel McClure adds, for 1867,
over l.Ooo.OOo lanibs, WBiefa produccd no wool
that year, and which siioul.l aol ba included as
biie.p; au.l then, in order to make the other end
of his statement strikiii-, lie giv.-s tbe numbcr
of Bheep now, excluding the lambs! Why
does hc _nfl__r__ 1,000,000 and over of lambs to
make up his 4,000,000 in 18*57, and exclude over
700,000 to get down to his S.OOO.OM now:-"
Is that fan t I subniit that it is a good satnple
of the nianner in which iioe tradeis manipulate
Iigures to suit tlieir arguments.
1 now repeat my fornier statement, that there
has never yet bcen 4,000,000 "sheep" in Michi?
gan at any one time.
The actual nuinber of sheep in Michigan. ex?
cluding lambs less than one year old, as shown
by aciual count, and reported in the Census, is

3.021,57:. as laa numlier of sheep antl 1,007,102
i;s the numbcr of lambs, and he put the two

and one that was correeted by the flrtxt actual
count made- Should BO. any man who sets him
fcclt up as an authority liave kuown such to bc
the ca-er" Is it possible that Colonel McClure
was unawarc af tluse lucts?
But suppo-C we adniit that in the Colonel's
estimate of "sheep" in Michigan in 1B67 he had
a ri_ht to include the lauiii- also, antl that in any
one btate his iigures, showing a decrease in num
ber, are correct, why (h>es he conceal the faet
that in the eountry at large sheep steudily
incr?__?_ in nuiutier afttr the tariiT of 1887, up
to ihe time of the reduction of the tarift on wool
in 18b3? There wa_, for 8 time. :m aet.al de?

baat the farmers ever had. until ihe McKiuley Mll

v*ooi-growing became protitanle, nnd the farmcru
aaai of the Mississipj.: ir.ci-eaj*ed their flocks at
once, bringing their sheep largely trom the BB_8f
States. The only fair way to estimate the efiect
of that tariff of 1bG7 is to include the entire

I have before me the returns ohowing the num

It seems to me these figures nre siKnillcant.
Am I mistaken? Will Colonel McClure explain
why, after 1867 up to 1884, the number of _J_8Bf
?teadily inepeaaed jn the entire l.'nited Slates, and
that the v.ool-clip made the uamc increase, and
then wly, after tlie reduction of the tariff in
*?83, in tlve .eara the numbcr of sheep had
f?Uen off over 8.000,000 head, and the production
01 wool 50.00H 000 pounds.
lf the rate o_ ncrease from 1870 to 1884 ha.l
been kept up until 1889 there would have lieen
'f*1* Cnited Sutea nt that time over 57,000,ooo
aaj-fc iiiatea,! ot 42,599,070, and our wool-dip
would lfhve lieen fully 350,000,000 pounds, a
diflercnce of 15,500,000 of Bheep and 00,000,
000 pounds of wool.
It was the intcntion of the persons who framed
the McKinley bill to stop this decline in the pro?
duction of wool in tbis eountry and to brinir
about. an moreasc in the numlicr of sheep and in
the wool clip.
Colonel, if yeur tlcory is true, no such result
wiil follow; if I am nght, sheep will again have
8 fair shov* in the I'nited States. What say you ?
WIU you venture to riak the truth or falsity
of your free-tr.de tieory on the result ns to the
production of wool in thls eountry? Neithcr of
u* Khows what the ftiture will bring forth. My
opinion is that tbe new tariff law will stop this
tlisappearance of sheep and will soon lead to an
incrense in our production of wool. Your claim
indieates a oelief that tlie exact opposite or this
will take place. In three or four years we will
be able to flnd out wbicb is correct.1 What would
plca:?. me i8 to lcarn whether you will agree to
"own up'* if your prediction proves untrue, pro
vided that I will proniise to do the aame if sheep
do not incrcase lnrgely in numbers in thls eoun?
try during t-hat tiuie. What do you say ?

TBE CVSTOU HOUSE CARTAGE QUESTIOX.
ATTOr.XEYGENEIUL MILLEIt DECIDES THAT
THE CONTIUCT MAY BE LET TO ANYONE.
The Unlted States Attorney-Ctcneral has glven an
opinion which will scttle tlio trouble about nwardlng
tho contract for tho Custom Houso cartago of un
claimc- inerchandise. Althoiif-h the opinion of Mr.
Miller was mado wlthout refereiicc to tho polltics
wliich the questlon is snipposed to lnvolve, tho news
which crept out yesterday causert a great deal of In
terest and <omineiit among tlie politiciaus. Mr.
Miller flnds that the awardlng of tho contract does
not como within the s.-ope of the Antl-inoiely act
of 1874, and cau, therefore, bo let out to the pcrson
or pereons whom tlie Collector may des-.gnate.
The lnconie from thls contract ls from ff_5,000
to 830,000 a year. Mr. Miller ls following in his de
ci .on the custoni obierved by Oollectors of thls port
pnerions to the __nii:il*tratlo:i of Mr. .Magone. ' Iu Mr.
Magono's day, Sccretary Fairchlld gnve an lnt.rpi.ta
tlon of the law which compelled Mr. Magone to let
ttio c_rt4_ge contract to Hio lowcst responslble blddcr.
Collector Erhardt reccntly followed Mr. Falrchlld's
rullng, bnt tlils intcrpreiatiou wns questioned and tho
problcm wa_ referred to tlie I'nited State* Attorney
(icneral. Tho nattire of Mr. Miller's oplnlon will be
found in tho followlng letter, which As ..taiit Secro
tary Spaulding, of tho Trcasury Departtnont, sent to
Collector Erhardt:
" Iteferrtng to your lottcr of the 12th lnstant, ttans
mltting proposals f,.r tbe cartagc ot unrlainicd iliiported
mercjiandlae at your port, I now transuilt herewlth a
copy ol a coiniuunicatlon, dated the ittth ln-.t-.nt, froin
tlie Attornoy-Oenci-1, in which that ollicer 8X1888808
tba opinion that tho cartago of the unclaliucd uuri
otlier nierchaudise ipaid tor by iiniiortcr*), whlcli lt b
now proposed to liave done by contract, does not come
within the scope of boctllii _5 of the Anti-nioletv a<t
of 1874 (18 _tat, y. 180), laaBBUMh as tlio words
- Publlc cartago of nierehandlso in tho custody of the
i.overiiment' bavo lappliration only ? to such cartago
as is pald for by tlie Government, and not to cartagc
the expense ol wliich is paid by tiie liidlvidiuil iiii
porter.'
"As at present artvlsed, no further action wlU ba
tai-cn by the Departmeut ln rcgard to tlie proposed
contract. ^
Mr. Miller has glven a clear Biid volumlnous oplnlon
on tho aaarttoo. The Antl molety act went ir.to
operatlon in 1874, and gave the Collector of the l'ort
tiic right to awai-d tbe contract for the Ctistoin Honae
eartaae of nnclalmed mcrciuuidisc to the man of his
chpice. II was shown to Mr. Miller that the importers
paid tlie et_a__na ot -raaaportattaa, and not tho i.overn
ineiit. Tho Attorney-. .en.r_rs cuurse was therefore
Cloar OoUeetOr Erhardt had awaitied the contract
to Thonias A. Urigg*. who had it under Mr. Magonn'a
adiulnibtration, u* betng tlie lowest rp_pon_ltilc bi.lder.
lt is now belicved that the contract will be divldod
among four or flve meu, pcrsonally kuown aud rcspon
