The Detroit "Kiv« Press" editorially remarks that "under the beneficent price lifting influence nl' IHnglcyism the leading wool journal of America timls ihe product selling ill stub a low price as to warrant its exportation." and ihat "the utter breaking down of Protection logic could not lie more forcibly demons!n»ted." As is usual with Free-Trade exponents, the "Free Press" draws its arguments from ttu warranted premises. The "Free Press" should go to the wool growers of our own state for its information as 10 the present condition of the industry. Wool i< double the price it was under the Wilson law. Sheep in Michigan are worth more IIIMU twice as much per head as they v.orc five years ago. After the enact incut of the Wilson law many of Michigan's choicest flocks were driven to the shambles. Now farmers arc holding onto their sheep and flocks nre getting more numerous and of greater size, and sheep raisingls again one of the most profitable farm industries. In view of these I'ncis the words of the "Free Pies*" should be paraphrased so as to read, 'the abso lute correctness of Protect ion logic could not be mc.re forcibly demon strafed." Now. as ever nnd. , r a Pro tective policy, wool is a poor article on which to base Free-Trade sophistry.— I'aw Paw (Mich.. "True Northerner.''
