The total is 81, 1875 lbs costing So 674, 604-or
ouer cents 9 mills per pound. Figure each by
itself, and in every instance it will be found that
the cost is over seven cents. BY their o,on Shoto-
ing, then, The most of This COURSE WOOL,
,oh,ch noiO comes in FREE, DiH be subject 10 a
duty ofhree cents pound and thirty per cent: dd-
udlorem by The new bill because il costs over
cents. We ask, then, what truth or honesty
there is in tho assertion Of the Patriot that no
wool will be imported which will be likely to puy

learnt from the importers, the invoices aud The
manufacturers. lie examined lot OF $50 bales
of Buenos Ayres WOOL aud found it divided into
three kinds, one third as fine our average me-
rino, after being washed and buried one third as
good rs the wool OF our Irish sheep, and one third
coarser llan any Of ours. This is imported with
