PUTTING THE SADDLE ON THE

Much has been said hy those Wings who have
mounted the TART! hobby for party purposes about

The grower of wool may get along the best way
he eau.
1t is Il fac, perfectly well known TO the Wings
that the progressive depression in the price Of
Wool, has been caused by the introduction of free
wool, and by fragrant evaSions of the revenue
laws. BY the compromise Of the tariff question in
1892 all woOl costing at the place hom whence
imported less than eight cents per pound, Is admit
ted free of duty. Now by recent statistical inlor-
nation it has been ascertnned that there was i'm
ported in the year ending Sept 1885, 4,0l2, S3S
lbs out of this amount ,227 $50 lbs were eXpor-
ted, leaving less than three millions to be cOnsum-
ed in this country. The importation Of This free
wool has increased yearly since that time, and
each wear has consequently witnessed still further
depression in native wool. In the wear ending
Sept 80, 1888, there were impoled 6,96S, 1865 lbs,
of which 6,55l ,l2S lbs. were duty free. In the
year ending 30lh Sept. 1889, they were imported
7 ,S2l ,5IS bs,-or which 1888 $40 lbs We're i'm
ported duty free. The amount imported in 1910
and 1871 has not been ascertalned for certainty.
Sufficient Is known, however,lo fix the amount over
TEN MILLIONS OF POUNDS in the latter year
alone an amount equal To about one-half ofwhat
is raised by our farmers in this country to be sold
TO the manufacturers. This vol by a systematic
and ingenious process, is brought to this country
IN filthy Otnto. Dirty and coarse wool Is mike d

finally settled, by the triumph Of the Free Suffrage
party.

matter, The people. finding TINT the legislature,
acting under the old charter, would do nolhlng iur

J sion. which assembled at Providence some tno

extending the right of suffrage, which was conlin-
ed 10 landlords, and presented it to the people ior
their sanction. 1t was accepted
The legislature then took up the matter, and
formed constitution which was exceedingly arts
ocralc in lis features, and presented tina, also Ia
