for protection. Where the people are for

Clamor against the Tar
if, answered by facts.

Because the Tariff does not at once per-
form a miracle which its friends never an
ticipated, at once to raise wool to the old
overgrown prices, the locos whose free
trade policy vetoes all protection, and
whose opposition brought into it the imper-
fections against which they clamor, are
endeavoring to persuade the people that it
has been wholly inefficient, that the present
augmented price of wool is entirely acct
dental, and that hereafter, instead of ad-
vancing it will be again diminished to a
song Now we appeal to every intelligent
farmer whether there are any grounds for
these disastrous presages, doubtless made
for political effect. How different appear.
ances this year from what they were last.
During the past season, there has been FIVE
wool buyers through the state where there
was one last. This year the wool has been
generally bought up. Last year vast a.
mount remained in the hands of the grow
Ier. This year wool buyers are still in the
field. Last year at this time they had dis
appeared altogether Wool is still wanted
BY the manufacturer who is protected in
the home market for the sale of the do
nestle article which has risen 20 per cent,
and should the Tariff be retained fine wool
will rise to at least forty cents per h., and
eventually to forty-6ve for the finest sta
pie, but never up to old times. Another
circumstance is highly favorable to this re-
suit. The Importation of coarse woods
generally has diminished, since the passage
of the Tariff, from IA millions of lbs, to
little over two millions Fine woods can
never be imported to cost in our market
less than As cents.
But it is exultingly asked by the locos, if
wool is not imported, why is it now so low.
The story is soon told and has Oft been re-
peated. Suppose half the factories in OPP
Grafton in 1910, were stopped in conse-
quence of the immense foreign importa-
tons at low dutiesl Suppose, notwithstan-
ding, the wool-growers continue thar bu-
siness, and yearly augment the production
Of their staplel-Suppose the successive
clips for two or three years remain unpur-
chased, in the hands of the farmers

mutations had been consumed. And why

picture has been realized, and why does it

they call protcction,are, as every man with
half an eye can see, directly calculated to
make the rich richer and tho poor poorer,

INFA NOUS.

The Spirit of the Age, prominent Lo.
CO foco paper printed at Woodstock in hi:
state. and owned and conducted by the
/ Tyler Postmaster at that place, is making
itself utterly infamous by its reckless as
saults upon Gen. Mauocks and his family.
Not satisfied with the atrocious libeIs it has
published against the General himself, its
editor has sacrilegiousy invaded the do.
nestle circle, and shame.essly violating
every principle of decency, has sought to
brand with infamy Mrs. Mattocks and her
children! The INSCRIPTIONS calumniator
who controls that paper, without the least
particle OF evidence to justify him in his
, course, has boldly asserted that Gen. Mat
locks and the lady with whom he has liv.
ed for more than thirty years. have never
been married. Nor was this monstrous
Islander uttered carelessly or hastily. in
moment OF political excitement. 1t was
the product Of the cool, deliberate, mali,
cious llbeller. 1t was put forth, and has
been thrice repeated, not only without the
least particle of evidence TO sustain it, but
against the clearcst and most convincing
proof OF its utter falsity. In the first place
the loco foco papers which are published in
his own neighborhood, had admitted that
General NJ. was a man of irreproachable
character in his private life. Would this
admission have been made BY such papers
as the Vermont Patriot, and the Nerth
Star, both leading loco foco journals, and
next door neighbors of Gen. N. if the in.
famous assertion of the editor of the Age
had been truel In the next place Gen.
Mattocks had often been a candidate for
office and had been uniformly sustained BY
a large majority of the people of his own
county, though they were politically oppo
sed 10 him, and his own town, on one occa-
sion, had sustained him for a high and re-
sponsible Office, with but one dissenting
vote! And the last time he run for Con.
gress, (three years ago) he was elected in a
district which, the year before, had given |
over thirteen hundred Loco Foco majority, |
such was the man against whom the reck. |
less llbeller of the Age opened his batteries.
Nor is this all. Mrs. Mattocks, who is
equally sufferer with her husband, from
TINS Infamous Loco Foco falsehood, is
known to some of the most respectable
families in this place as an estimable lady,
1 devoted and exemplary christian. For
nearly twenty years she has been a mem.

'icty. She has son, (the Rev. Mr.. Mat.
