the best calculation. isnow about thirty millions,
ant are worth S70,000,000; and last annual
clip of wool was about sixty six millions of pounds
AMI worth, relieved Of FORE gu competition, $780,
0o0, 1000; and worth under the existing tariff, abont
sl7 100000. Three sheep, for summer and winter
keeping require one acre Of land, at least; so ten
million Of land, required TO the support Of
he national flock.

on the amount of our clip, as above stated. makes
the odds to our wool growers of six hundred thou
sand dollars and rising,-the vast importance of "a
rightly adjusted tariff, even to half cents, were
