A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing.

With the duty higher and the price of wool lower than ever before, Bradstreet’s of Oct. 1, says: “Manufacturers show a greater inclination to take wool. The market has 6® several grades, and there is good to believe that it will go lower beicss.javaneing. Present conditions are difficult to explain on the basis of supplies. And yet we have a party with gall enough to send the authqr of this calamity amongst the flocks of Vermont and Ohio to express sympathy by trying to bleat with the sheep. It is no wonder the sheep in Vermont took to the woods when they heard the wolf’s voice. It is said that consternation is also seizing the herds in Ohio, and that when Gov. McKinley appears on tho - Republican side of the field all of the wise old rams, followed by the Test of the flock, make a break for the Democratic side of the field, where they huddle together bleating and trembling until the Republican wolf in sheep’s clothinsr is safelj out of sight. The Democrats are be. ginning to understand the meaning o, the enthusiasm and noisy demonstrations that attend McKinley in these regions, and well they intend to takegooa care of the frightened lambs.
