Head that Deception.

AS we anticipated the Locofocos are using decep
tiyely Prestons motion in the Senate in relation
to wool. They go on and give tho motion, on the
zee Of it u good one, but carefully leave out his
declared purpose IN making it, And what was III
To increase the duty wool Of less value than
cts from per cent. to 90 per cent.--declaring
his object then TO be, TO CUT DOWN THE DU-
Try ON OTHER WOOL-such as is produced in
Vormont-from 40 TO 90 per cent. Thus apparent
~ protecting that which is not produced in this
country, and leaving that we do produce with on
ly half ihe Protection proposed in The Bill. This
was the design II would place the wool grower
of Vermont in tho place he is now in-wth but 20
per cent. duty on foreign wool of value over 8
cents. The Locofocus voted for this amendment,
and here then is their plan of Protecting the wool
grower, about which we have heard much.
But mark, woni growers, the deception of tho 10
they tell but bnlC the story, hoping thereby 10
make it appear that their party is for Protecting
WOOL when in truth they voted with n Southern
NullIfer, who like them, has gone always against
the Wings in every proposition 10 protect Ameri-
can Industry.
And when the vote was taken TO protect YER
mont wool by 10 per cent duty, they voted with
this Same NulIifier against it.

which is TO create the impression that the Tariff

gia in the IRON and gold mines get only FIFTEEN
DOLLARS A MONTH, out of which they support
themselves and families; and if insist upon

This is the true locofoco doctrine. WE MUST
REDUCE THE WAGES OF LABOR This is
all the protectson which the Looolocos in Congress
would give TO The industry Of the country. Like

Here Tho computation is left, and the impression
created that this is the Of protection on wool
The bill provides duty from 40 10 81 cents on
wool costing from to 30 cents per pound, but it
was convenient for the writer to pass overthis part
of the subject, we'll knowing that wool costing less
I than cents cannot come in competition with
Vermont wool.
Now one fact should be remembered and it is ca
silly understood by those who have no time TO
examine into the details Of the Tariff question. 1t
is this:
The Tariff of 1882 admitted wool costing less
than cents per Id. free Of duy and yet every far
mer knows that wool, under that tariff, was suficl
emily protected, and brought IN market fr ON 40 to
60 cents per pound.
Now observe-Tbe complaint in the Star and
Patriot is not in relation 10 wool costing cts
On ihat the duties must DO admitted 10 be suifici-
eLt But the writer complains that on wool cost
ing from to cts there is only a small duty. Yet
the last Tariff Cot 1892 which afforded ample pro
lection to wool admitted the same article of cheap
woeJ, duty free. .a-
| Besldes-The new Tariff (of S42) Bill guards
against frauds which under The Tariff of 1882 were
practised by smuggling the liner grades as
coarse wool. The article called wool, costing less
!
used for Booking, Padding &c. and which does
not come into competition with wool. This,
the operation of the las, Tariff sufficiently proves,
notwithstanding the deceptive arguments of the
Locus. | have before me the Tariff Law of 1882
aud the bill of>IS42. And have examined the rel
alive protec ton afforded by each to wool and wool
cus. and no intelligent wool grower look at
these bills together without being satisfied That in
! the late bill more care is taken to protect wool
than woolens. The section concerning wool is as
! follows:
| son wool manufactured, the value
whei cof n, the last Port place whence exported

there shall be levied duty OF 5 per centum adyal
