Show HOW THE WOOL IS PULLED Out from the east cast comes a stor story that the sheep raisers of three states Wyoming Utah and Idaho IH held d a conference in Chicago last year ear with tho the w woolen volen olen manufacturers of the eastern states and andt t that at the they shook hands together in an agreement t that at the they would resist an any reduction in the tariff on foreign goods good and that they would do their est best to preserve the interests of th sh shep ep raisers and woolen manufacturers of the United States Whether our sheep raisers engaged in that work or not we do not know but we do know that sheep raisers in Utah Utai have about the softest thing in the world The Ohio man or the time New York man or the Pen Pennsylvania man goes before a tariff commis commission ion and lie he explains that the land on which he lie raises his sheep is worth an all acre and that his sheep being of a fine quality have to have careful attention and that without a tariff he I cannot compete with the sheep herder on the mountains of who gets 3 shillings a a we week k for his labor and boards himself But the Utah t wool man is just as anxious for m ri a tariff as is the Ohio man although he lie pastures his sheep mostly on government land and then according to the latest accounts when the assessor from Wyoming comes around his Ilis sheep are arc allin all allin allin in Utah when the Utah assessor comes ar around und his sheep are arc all over in inv Wyoming v And so he lie lives a border life so to speak he We is in Vom when he i is in Utah when Wyoming ng necessary necessary essary and the color blind assessor e cannot when properly influenced tell a white sheep from a white whiterock rock And then he has a kindly feeling toward his neighbors and he thinks it a shame to assess a gentleman for sheep that are outside the state and by some peculiar arrangements the Wyoming assessor does not come upon the ground until the he assessment having been made in Utah and the Utah sheep herder can afford to 10 drive his sheep back into Utah Utah- And thus the government is the state of of- Utah is and everybody works except the old man that owns the sheep And the best joke of all is that after all the criminations I Wand and recriminations the new tariff does docs not change the woolen schedule in an any respect There will come a da day wh when n the flying ma machine hine is perfected when a man can start in the morning and in about three days land his fl flyer er behind the great wall in China take on a cargo of sheep at an infinitesimal price wheel his machine around set th the motor to work and in three more days have llave a big flock of new sheep somewhere in the canyons canons of the Cascades Cast Cas- cades eades y W the Sierra Nevadas and then having plenty of government land laud will do well and b by bythe bythe the time another tariff revision is on or he will be ready to go before the committee committe and swear that in the time interest of the American lamb which has always been a solicitude to our government it will not do to reduce the schedule b by th the fra fraction tion of a cent r |
