change within few years, and by the Tariff 81
| 1924, it was deliberately determined BY the TO
vernmeai tha,it would protect and sustain GER
tain branches Of domestic manufacture, pariicn'
| larly those of Cotton and Wool-but while IN
regard to the former, the Tariff OF 1924 had
| proved an adequate protection, vet by an
! act of Legislation OIL British Governmeh,'
| Producing the duty on imported wool from cd.
| sterling 10 a half penny intended expressly 10
