A Challenge That Remains Unanswered.

Up to date no Republican newspaper has explained why wool is higher this year than last year, although the tariff of 15 cents a pound is off and we are competing with the world. And then again, the duty was taken off oats last fall, but in the face of it the price of oats is six cents higher this spring than last spring. The duty was taken off com and though the crop was short last year there has not been a bushel of the much discussed Argentine corn brought into this county, and can not be brought here until the price gets above 80 cents. All of which proves that the tariff on farm products was a grand fraud and we extend the time for any republican paper to explain these facts—-Tippe-canoe County Democrat.
