more than any other man TO Introduce the culture
of fine wool in Vermont, aud he has also done
more than any other to have the wool grower pro-
tected. His letter, about coarse wool, of which
the Patriot prates so much, was written before
any Thing was known about this South American
wool, and while he supposed, as all have former

compete with our own. The Patriot knows it,

A Joke !

And the best one out: it is the parade in the
papers OF a locofoco committee about petitions TO
Congress OH wool-an.r The bill has been passed in
The House, and nfer il is known that their own
party voted AGAINST raising such duties This
committee was appointed in May; the tariff bill
was reported on the Sd of June-paSsed the
House on the 10th Of July, and here in the Pat
riot of July 80 we find proof that the memorials
have not yet been sent on Why has this com
muee waited THREE MONTHS, while the
Tariff was under discussion, why neglect to get
memorials sent on This is really an exhibition
of amazing ardor in behalf OF the wool grower
And why nolO, after the bill is passed the House,
and probably must pass the SENATE before they
can get single petition in-we ask, why now This
parade of pelitioningi Must we answer that the
election is al hand and that they want party CAPT.
tai? A precious little will they get, we fancy,
after this sort of support to the wooI-growing in
terest.
But to tho matter Of the petition: they ask
specific duty Of Is cents per pound in addition
TO the al valotem duty. Very we-we hope
they will ask it, and glad would we be If they'd
get it, too. We know ofno man in Vermont aud
no Wing from Vermont, in Congress, who will
object. Col Paine, even, whom the locoioco pa
pe,s so vainousy abuse, we know would not
object TO an entire prohibition OF foreign wool.
Still, what spectacle would these petitioners pre-
sent,-peiitionng, yet beieing their oi0n petitions
bv supporting iocotocoism Congress Gun have
little faith in their petitions, until they rOmove
this stumbling block let them lift up clean hands
and honest and pure hearts when they pray. Why
their own parlizans in Congress could not but
greet them with contempt, beholding them COM
ing with petition for high duties in one hand,
and in the other uote to sustain men who are
against all Protection.
But we wish happy issue to every attempt 10
obtain protection 10 the ol-grOwer, and we will
contribute mite of advice TO this exceedingly ac-
tive, efficient, and jealous locofoco committee
Their burning ardor in this cause, as evinced by
their extraordinary prompttude, is certainly u
sufficient guaranty that our advice will be well
received. Mr.. Everett moved rate Of duties
quite as good as the one proposed at this late hour
viz: specific duties of ten cents per pound on all
wool under 20 cents--l5 cents on all between 20
and so - and 90 cents on all above 50-and this
coupled with home valuation. That was deleut
ed and defeated too, by the help OF LOCOFOCO
VOTES. So throughout, the LOCOFOCOS
went for REDUCING duties wool, and the
WINGS Excepting, of course, the anti-tarff men
of the South, who voted with the locoiocos) for
RAISING these duties. Now our advice is This

Even this does not exhibit the full extent Of tho
disparity; for the British sliding scale OF Duties
on Imported Grain renders the importation from
countries as distant ours morally certain TO be
made at loss. When there is a scarcity of Grain,
the great operators hold back the supply anu
crowd up the price; this reduces The duty when
the reduction has reached the desired point they
rush large quantity from the nearest Foreign
ports, when down goes the price and up springs
the duty again, shutting the door against farther
