THE ExcHEQUER. A Washington cores.
pondent of the N. Y. American thus writes
under date of March 7th. We give the ex.
tract, not as an expression of our own views
but because even every opinion or probability
concerning this important matter is interesting
TO our readers. We believe Congress dare moi
adjourn without doing something for the re.
sloration of the Frustrated currency and the re.
lief of the people.
No scheme will be adopted this session, but
the subject will bcopened and the way prepar-
cd for a final trial of the grand question and
the only alternative--a return 10 the sub-treas.
ury or q great national bank. The whole wes
is ready for the contest, and neither party will
listen 10 any terms of accommodation The
north and east may take their ground as soon
as they please; but il must be either on the un-
disguised sub-treasury or the full blooded ma.
tional bank. With the sub treasury shall tri
umph also free trade, reputation, hard money
low wages, direct taxation, and every loco a.
domination and dcsolation. With the bank
alone you can have from Western votes q Ia
riff of protection and all other wing measures;
it is only with it that you can retain the Bank.

Effect of Free: Trade upon The Wool Groc-
ers. In 1888 and 1885, wool of the same
quality with that which now sells at % and &c
cents, readily brought So and 81 cents per h.
Then the wool growers were reaping hand.
some profit for their labor. Now, they can
hardly make both ends meet; and what rem.
ders their future prospects still more gloomy
than their present condition, is the certainty
of nine out of ten of the wooden manufacto.
ries throughout the country suspendIng opera.
tons before the LIST of July unless higher tar.
iff be imposed upon foreign woolens.
There is no state in the union so closely in.
terested in the prosperity of the wool grower
us Vermont; and yet, strange as it may appear
every locofoco newspaper in the state with
which we are acquainted, advocates the wild
and impracticable doctrines of Stree trade"
There are several towns in this county
which are equally interested with Vermont in
maintaining remunerating price for WOOL
Hoosick is the largest wool growing town in
the union. and Schaghticoke, Pittstown, Pc
tersburgh, and other towns also produce many
thousand pounds.of wool per annum. Are the
wool growers of this county satisfied with the
present w.price of wool Do they believe
that they are to be benefited by admitting in
10 our ports duty free, the wool of Germany,
and Spain, and New Holland. and Turkev.E
