Wool.-An exchange paper says the farmers Of
Michigan have million of dollars invested in the
wool business We should think the farmers of
Vermont had more than that sum invested in the
same business; and yet we don't hear the woollen
manufacturers say word about raising the duty Of
wool.-Boy State Democrat.
or course you do nt They never intended TO
have the duty on wool raised. We have told the
farmers So from the beginning, and warned them Of
the game that was on foot for their destruction
Coarse pool, duty free. The finest foreign wool
is made TO pass for course by mixing dri with il.
II comes in duty free, is cleansed in ihi, country
and thus completely drives the native article GU,
OF The market. Wake up wool growers.

'ractly! The Sentinel speaking of the Free

Eractly' The Sentinel speaking of the Free
Press, saws:
"Why is not the Free Press, which has profess
ed TO be the exclusive friend to American industry
out in defence Of the great wool-growing interest
Has not that paper whined week after week on
the subject Of protection to our industry and now
that the crisis has arrived to defend the right of the
producing class, it is sen, on the subject! Cam
not the public see the hypocrisy of this print! The
Private Secretary who edits it is probably in favor
of having foreign wool, come in duty free. for the
reason that Gov, Paine can in this manner obtain
his stock cheaper than by buying our native wool.
If this was not The case. would he remain silent.
We have endeavored to lay this important sub
ect before The people, in its true light, and we be-
lieve we have adduccd facts which must convince
them that their interest is about being sacrificed by
a few Wing leaders Mt Washington, "The game"
is about being played, which will prove their des-
trucon, which will compel them to raise wool for
twenty five cents per pound which will ruin the
many for the benefit Of the few which will over
throw the nteres, of the producing class,and build
up few on their ruins
This is precisely the game that we have told
the wool.growers would be played off upon them
Consul Jarvis is for Tariff 10 protect himself, and
hi, party think that the wool-grower, OF Vermont
can sell their wool for TWENTY-FIVE CENTS n

THE DIFFERENCE.

"Connecticut wants tariff to protect her labor
against foreign competition, Free Pres"
Yes Connecticut wants Tariff, uhich wiU pro-
fsrt her labor; but she will have to look some
where else, besides to the wings il she expects to
ge, it. The policy Of the wings, is not to protect
The laborsr, but TO protect the manufacturer ex-
clusivey at the Arpease Of the tutoring and pro-
ducing many. The policy Of the democrats is
TO project the producer and also the manufacturer,
aud not protect the one to the ruin Of the other.
Both wool and woolens must he sufficiently prolec-
ted, in order to benefit the producing class, The
Democrats do not believe that wool wants hut lii
tie protection, and that the Vermonters can raise
for rs cts. per lb. But they do believe that wool
must be protected and do not believe that our fa :
mers can afford to raise il for 25 cents per pound
Cannot The farmers see the difference between the
democratic policy and that Of the whigs'

HERE YOU HAVE 1T.

The designs Of the Gov. Paine class Of proec.

lCJAt a Tariff convention recently held in
Boston, it WIS resolved that 1.-THE imposition Of a

Exactly! exactly! Here you have the length and

commended from the outset for PROJECTIONS 10
ALL-FAvORS TO NONE. We have told the far.
mers continually, that this scheme of protection
that was devsing by the Cidercruts, was for their
ruin. and now it begins TO appear that we were
right about the matter.
The federal papers told US that if manufactures
were protected, the farmer would get more for
his wool. We said that the spectators would
manage the matter. so as to purchase The rap ma
feriai al the LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICE, WHILE
THEIR PROTECTION WOULD ENABLE THEM

are leaking out too soon.
The call orthe wool-growers ofWashington CO.

'altogether too GENERAL" No doub, of that
The moment this Hard cider protection gets nur-
rowed down to particularities it looks bad in the
face, and becomes hard thing to handle. So long
AS whiggery can brawl protection. protection and
keep the eye of the people upon the animal gen.
orally, it looks gorously; but the moment they
are allowed minute examination, it dwindles into
sorry looking beast, and they see

WIIER L.

Is the love Of the cidercralic papers in the State
for tho wool-grower' A little while ago, and
they would peril their lfes blood for the nleres,
of the wool-grower. Now, when the Protective
Tarilrihey have talked so much about, proposes a
protection thar recommends duty Of foriy per
cent on manufactured woolens, and leaves The
,G0Ol. grower TO compete with foreign wool, which
they would allow TO COME IN FREE-,hey are
silent as the house ofdealh.
Yesterday, i, was hurrah! &c, up conventions!
get out petitions for the protection of the WOOL
grower! To-day, THEY SAY WOOL WANTS
BUT VERY LITTLE PROTECTION, and that
the farmers of Vermont, can raise it for rs cents
per pound!
This is it: raise the duty forty per cent. on for
eign woollens- make The farmer pay ,hat-imporl
foreign rool, free, TO drive naiire ,cool down to
25 cents pound! This will give Gov. Paine and
his host Of spectators first rate protection! This
is all the protection Consul Jarvis wants. II was
to bring about this sort ofprotecton that he ordered
his serfs in Windsor County to assemble and help
him.
viii the woo.growen Of old Windsor county,
take hold Of this matter before i, is too late!
