that prevailed from 1880 to 1890. This is
the‘same relative position the town occu-

hg ninth in size. There is cause for
congratulation in these figures, as they
show that Norwalk. in the, face of pro~
l'nnged industrial stagnation, has held
her own. a fact of which not every town

When the next census is compiled it is

routes have already been surveyed
across the yarninsulu. The most nvailu-
ble appears to be that either by way of
the Choptsnk river or Sassafras river.
The cost of the canal as estimated will
be by the different routes from $8,500,-

canal will be froth ill!) to 140 miles, ac-
cording to the route chosen. The en‘

President Cleveland has a woolly m
ord. He expressed himself very plain-
ly. telling the people all about the farm.
era and their wool in his third annual
message to congress, mo. 0. 1887. He
did not commit himself so far as to say
that he knew. but he thought “it may
be fairly assumed that a large propor-
tion of the sheep owned by the farmers
throughout the country are found in
small flocks numbering from 25 to 50. "
Upon this assumption he argued that
“the benefit of the present tariff on
wool is illusory" and proceeded to show
from his point of view that it was a
“burden upon the poor, the employed
and unemployed. the sick and Well and
the young and old " He further proved
to his own complete satisfaction that it
was “a tax which, with relentless
grasp, is fastened upon the clothing of
every man, woman and child in the
land. ” He did not state upon which
part of the clothing it was fastened or
whether fastened with a safety pin as
well with “a relentless grasp. ” This
was an oversight.
Senator Jones of Nevada, in his great
tariff speech of 1892, took up Mr. Cleve-
land's sheepishness. and estimating 05
per cent as being “a large proportion’
showed that. we had in 1887 as many as
830,000 separate farmers who owned
flocks of 35 sheep each and that there
were 4,000,000 persons directly and pe-
cnniarily interested in the wool tariff.
As President Cleveland desired free
trade in wool because “It large propor-
tion of the sheep owned by the farmers
throughout the country are found in
small flocks numbering from 25 to 50.”
the intercom is that free wool would
never have been thought of by him or
his party if the flocks had been large
ones, concentrated among n few owners.
or, in fact, if there had been a sheep
trust, a raw wool trust or both. Such a
trust could have dictated its own terms,
but the unfortunate 830,960 separate
farmers must be made to suffer. Presi-
dent Cleveland and his party are me-
nopolists from the word go.
