not help the wool grower, until the splndles and

Wool.

AS to the design, provisions, and effect Of the
bill on wool there has been great deal OF mis-
representation. For instance, the Patriot again
mud again has given the duties on coarse wool u
lone, us being The only duty which is imposed on
all wool costing less than Gems. This is decep-
tion point.blank. While on "COARSE" wool
under cents The duly is but per cent. The du-

averages over So per cent? Repeatedly, too, has

ding in Sept. 1910, there 5Y47 46 lbs. OF for
eign FINE wool imported into This country, the
average foreign cost Of which was nearly 20 cents
per pound. Why then, conceal from The farmers
the fact that FINE WOOL is noic coming in toorth
~ cents at foreign cost? Tint is the very kind
which takes the pluce of fine Vermont wool. why,
too, should it conceal the truth, that this wool now
comes in ut only 20 per cent duties, or 3 cents 3

Wooden Manufactures.

IL is grent errorio suppose that The proslralion
OF tie price of wool arises altogether, or even
mainly, from the low duties on that article and
The influx Of foreign wool. The influx Of Brit
isli woolens aud the prostraIion of our domestic
manufactures has had quite rs great an agency in
producing the reduced value OF wool. Utterly
vain Is II 10 suppose that wool Gun be sold ipiihout
market. While for the year ending Sept 1910
there was less than one million dollars worth of
foreign wool imported into The United States, there
were $6,2al,4l4 OF foreign woolens, being more
than one fourth Of the entire value OF the wooden
manufactures Of this country in 1882 and proba-
bly much more than one half of the value for

Conclusions.

After this full exposition of the history and eff
fects Of the duties WOOL which we have en-
deavored to present fairly aud truly, with the aid
of the documents in our possesson-these are the
conclusions:
The bill is as good as could he passed.
Every effort 10 make il better was defeated by
a union of the locoiocos with the anti-proteclhe
men of the South.
1t is more than twice as good as the present To-
cofoco law for the wool grower, because Of the
increased duty on wool and wooens.

In the Senate.

The bill WINS carried in the House Ivy only four
majority if sent bnck, as it must he If amended
in The Senate there was great danger that it would
he defeated. The friends of the bill, therefore,
determined to adopt no amendments.
In these circumstances, the locoocOs determin-
ed to make MS much party capital ns possible, and
for this purpose two amendments, affecting
COARSE WOOL under Z cents were offered by
them aud rejected by The wings. On this sub
ject one fact only is essential while The locoioco

are not better protected against South American
