Great Cry and Little Wool.
Endeavors have been made by
the high tariff people to talk up an
impression that the sheep interest
in the Ninth Congressional district
of this State, represented by Mr.
Mills, amounts to an imposing in-
fluence, which might decide the
fate of that representative for his
fearless advocacy of a scheme of
reform which has the approval of
President Cleveland ana the gen-
eral support of the democratic
party. Hence some figures from
the State official records of the
past year, regarding the taxable
property of that district, may be
Suite in place for general informa-
onatthe present juncture. From
the racket made by a few republi-
can wool growers and other repub-
licans in the namo of wool growers,
joined it may be by a few persons
deeming themselves democrats on
various issues not connected with
their own pecuniary views, it might
be supposed by those who have
given out casual attention to facts
and statistics, or who have never
seen anything on this subject, that
the wool interest overtopped any
other in that part of Texas, or that
at least it might be the principal
livestock interest. Instead of oc-
cupying such a position it is subor-
dinate in every one of the eight
counties composing the district, as
the following table of comparative
item^ and values will show. The
figures are from the archives of the
State:

Probably no one thing lias caused
such a general revival of trade at R. T.
Smith & Co.'s drug store as their giving
away to their customers of so many free
trial bottles of Dr. King's New Discov-
ery for Consumption. Their trade is
simply enormous in this very valuable
artielo from the fart that it always cures
and never disappoints. Coughs, colds,
asthma, bronchitis, croup and all throat
and lunjj diseases quickly cured. You
can test it before buying by getting a
trial bottle free, large size SI. Every

assessment against a general assess-
ment of $(>0,797,523 in the self

distinction of figuring thus: Out
of every $150 worth of property in
tho district there is 23 cents worth
of sheep; or for sheep, worth $1.50,
there is $3G0 worth of other prop-
erty. The sheep are less than
one-half of one per cent, of the tax-
able property of those eight coun-
ties. Allowing, then, nil that can
possibly be correct for the current
clip and for the property peculiar
to speep ranches, the total invest-
ment must still cut a small figure
beside nil the other properties.
After this showing would it not be
absurd to' assume that the sheep
interest can dominate the rest of
tho interests? The gifted John
Randolph, irritated by the de-

clared that he would at any time
