Conundrum for Mount.

Jim Mount has m&de his maiden gubernatorial speech m which he asserts that the only way to make ;he sheep industry prosperous is to protect it. Since the price of wool declined with each advance in i;he tariff on wool it is in order for Mr, Mount to stipulate how much c,otection is absolutely necessary to make the industry of sneep raising profitable.—Miami County Sentinel. Every advance in the tariff simply increased the ou 1 put of shoddy at wool prices and greatly reduced sales of wool and woolen goods.— If Mount does not know this he has not the intelligence to fit h'm for governor.
