MEMORIAL
OFF the WoOl-growers TO Congress ON the
IA RIFF.

The undersigned citizens of Vermont, considering
,he unsettled and precautions condition of MI
branches OF labo. devoted to agriculture and
That revision Of the Tariff is ab tut TO be made,
would respectfully present TO you the follow
ing memorial:
In adjusting The rate Of duties on the importation
of foreign products, whether of the soil Or of Art,
II Is deemed unnecessary TO advance reasons to
prove what seems 10 be generally conceded that
it ought if possible TO be so adjusted rs to secure
the independence and promote The industry and
consequently the wealth Oft whole country: and
that every branch CT industry should receive alike
the fostering care and protection of legislation
The people of Vermont are deeply interested in
the growth and manufacture of w DOL as being the
great staple product Of their labor: and are firmly
convinced that every section Of The Union is also
interested in the prosperity Of the producers Of this
necessary material Of clothing. Indeed the value
and Importance OF wool rs Il raw material in 4 MI
iona point OF view, seems To be admitted on ali
hands. The vast amount Of capital invested in its
production, the great number of aborcrs depend
ant on It's successful culture. and the wide extent
of territory within those States naturally adapted
TO It's growth are sufficient TO rank it among the
great objects Of national concern.
But your memoriaisls have TO regret that they
cannot perceive in any Of the schemes for The
proposed adjustment OF the tariff brought to the
consideration of Congress that due regard is had
to the importance of protecting the woolgrower
As the law now stands, wool, the value of which
at the place Of expectation does not exceed cents
per h., is admitted duty free; and in the bill now
before your honorable body, reported by your
committee on manufactures this provision is still
retained This feature in the law and proposed
bill is IN ust 10 the grower fwoo and every 9th.
or citizen OF the Union unless he be directly en-
gagged in the manufacture of woollen goods 1t
opens the door 10 all manner Of frauds and arful
conriyances by which the revenue is deirauded of
its due, and the grower is cheated of the protection
and encouragement 10 which he is admitted to be

THE TARIrr.-ITs REAL FRIENDS.

We told the manufacturers and business men of
the country, long ago, that if they wished 10 in1u-
cnce The legislation Of the nation in a manner ia
vorabe 10 their own interests, they must ,Ui clear
II mere politicians. A proper discriminating ia
riff for revenue should have passed four months
since; this would have afforded the manufacturing
interests Of the country all the protection they re-
quire, and it would have passed had not our halls
Of Congress been controlled by trading demagogues
instead of patriotic statesmen. The tariff question
was one of vital importance, and should have been
settled By iiself-if the majority in Congress had
been honest friends TO the industry of the nation it
would have heen-and not associated with anotl-
er measure for the purpose Of procuring third ve-
to make capital for Mr. Clay. Can those men be
called friends to American industry, who would
sacrifice. or even jeopardize, the establishment of
proper revenue laws by unnecessarily connecting
the distribution question with that result, No
If they regarded the welfare of our mechanics and
farmers and merchants-thc nation-aboye per-
sonal, political capital, they would have sought
the attainment Of the great object desired by the
people, aud studously avoided all obstacles TO such
, contamination - Rnsicr Post

aud this is probably correct. And it strikes me,
that duty on. wooden cloths is also tax on the

no reasonable ground OF complaint.
But ! have perceived also that Mr. SHADES

Of the "Gcntloman," as is the protection in Eng

congenal to the privileges Of lieemen. The
question oil protection presents itself TO me in the
following light, oui farmers in the hope of making
money have invested large amount Of capital in
the raising of wool, and have Of course neglected
the other important branches of agriculture, here
lolorc they have Soia THEN wool and realized good
profit, and liom the proceeds have bought their
cloth and four. by turning their attention to
this branch Of farming they have needed much less
help 10 carry on their farms, and in consequence
Of purchasing their cloth of the manufacturer they
have rendered useless the domestic wheel and loom,
in consequence Of which the greater share of la
boIers both male aud female, have been driven in
10 the manufacturing towns and Cities which gives
the manufacturing capitalist powerful and undue
control over the laboring population of the country.
These capitalists have invested large amount is

presented to you by the Secretary of the Treasury,
although il is admitted that wool as raw malcii.
al is great national concern and its permanent

yet we see no provision for adequate protection of

ces OF WOODEN fabric for the protection Of the man
niacturer and as the means Of prev enlng Frauds On

whole scheme as TO him il.isiye by reducing indi-
recly the duty Of all wool TO 20 per cent. nd yalo-
rem The undersigned insist and urge upon YOUR
considerations that the wool grower is entitled to
equal encouragement and protection with the malt

hey ask and with this will be satisfied and with
nothing short Of it. They respectfully ak that YOU
would impose a specific duty Of at least 5 cents,

All the arguments in IA or of the system of specific
duties apply with equal force to the grower Of the

would also be augmented by imposing specific
duty on all kinds of wool, The lower grades
should be charged with higher specific duty than
the higher ard better, for two reasons, if no Other

and qualities by cunning admiyture may be--ant
no doubt has been and will be imported duty free
ny reference to official documents it appears that
the amount of this free article imported in the year
ending Sept 30, 1885, was 5,5l3, 626 lbs, in The
year ending Sept. 30, 1885, 1885, 5!9 lbs, ant
IN the year ending Sept. 30, 1910, it reached the
enormous amount of 9,303,992 lbs. When il is
considered that this great increase of importation
has occurred during period Of great depression in
the prices of home grown wool, and of unparallcl-
ed distress among manufacturers and other pnr-
lions of community, it necessarily led to the infer
ence that this feature of the law is made to cover
The fraudulent importation of wool Of all grades.
For according TO the statistics of wool furnished by
the census of lSiO the whole annual product of
the United States is 1892 Ia lbs. Now if we
assume that for domestic purposes II 900 900 lbs
ae uscd in the families Of the growers-whch
cannot be considered far from the lact-it appears
that more than one third Of all the wool used by
all the manufacturing establishment in the coun-
try Is Of foreign growth, and imported free of
duty.
1t is SAID that wool the value Of which at the
place of expectation does not exceed cts. per h.
is made up in the manufacture of carpeting and
other articles of domestic use, and that this article
does not come in competition with the wool-g
er in this country. But on examination it is manifest
that these assertions are made at random, and af
ford no ground for eAempting This article from du-
ty. No satisfactory reason has been given to the
undersigned why the material for carpets and 9th
cr wooden iabrics-which may be grown in album
dance by our own farmers should not be made

and other articles of Indispensable necessity.
