an hour can thus be polished by each man; and when
leave his hands the needles are finished.
We have still to see the needles prepared In one
of the rooms a number of females are cutting the pa
pes, separating the needles into groups Of twenty
five each, and folding them in the neat oblong form
80 well known to all the users Of paper of needles
So expert does practice render the workwoman, that
each one count and paper three thousand needles
in an hour. The papered needles then pass to another
room, where boys paste tho smort-ooking labels
which deck every paper Of needles. Even hore there
are sundry contryances for expediting the process,
which would scarcely be looked for by common OBJ
servers. When the papers have dried on an iron
frame in warm room they are packed into bundles
of twenty papers each; which are further packed IN
square parcels containing twenty or hity thousand
needless enclosed, if For expectation, soldered TN
cases. As Of judging the bulk of needles
we may state that ten thousand '6's' form packet
OF six inches long, three and half wide, and under
two in thickness
Thus we have followed the manufacture to its close.
None but the finest needles undergo the whole OF the
processes enumerated; but we have wished TO give
them as a means of estimating the plexty OF the
manufacture Of an article apparently so humble. The
arrangements of the factory, to apparatus, &c are
adapted the production of hundred millions OF line
needles per annum AS to the whole quantity made
in the Rcddch factories and in the houses OF the
workmen in the vicinity, it has been estimated at so
high q number as seventy millions per week! These
are startling results, and show that in considering the
seats of manufacture in England, we must not forget
to include the remarkable Worcestershire village Of
Redditch.

Important Information to the People
Vermont,
Y ernl0nt.

To the Editor Of The Peoples Press:
hand you herewith for publication, letter adj
dressed in February last by the Vermont Delegation
in Congress the Secretary of the Treasury relative
to the construction to be given to the word COARSE
applied to wool in the tariff OF 1912, together
with letters from myself to the first comptroller of the
Treasury, and to the Secretary, OF the Treasury,
since tho adjournment of Congress on tire same sub
ject.
Among the resolutions of the Loco Foco State Con
vention at Montpelier, in January last, the fol-
lowing:
'tResolved, That the word "coarse'' as used in
the Tariff is calculated to deceive the wool growers
the price at which the wool is purchased in for
eign ports decides the quality and the duty 10 be
paid.''
On seeing this resolution, requested the members
of the Vermont Delegation to hold meeting for the
purpose Of considering the subject, and determining
whether any thing necessary to be done to in
just construction of the clause of the tariff
lating to wool. Upon consultation it
thought proper address the Secretary of the Treas
ury on the subject, and was requested to prepare
draft for that purpose, which submitted fu-
ture meeting. The letter to the Secretary of the
Treasury herewith handed you the result
Assuming the practical construction given to the
clause at the Custom Houses, might be such
give color to the assertion in the resolution, pre-
scented in the letter the arguments which deem
ed conclusive show what ought be the construc-
iion in order to carry out the intention of Congress
in regard to protection TO the wool growing inter-
est,
1t remains TO be what will be taken
by the Executive Department on this question. Con-
gress cannot both make, and execute the laws Justly
expounded and faithfully executed, the law, am
fdent would be found to give fair protection to the
wool growing interest The purpose Of the tariff law
of 1882 was TO admit free of duty, only wool really
and truly coarse, and not coming in competition with
the production of our own focks. The true intent
and purpose Of the existing law simply to carry
out the policy in this respect of the law Of 49,
think is fully shown in the letter OF the Vermont Del
egatlon to the Secretary of the Treasury That the
clause relating to coarse wool, will admit of the con-

First Comptroller Of the Treasury.
SIR: On 25th of February last, the Vermont Del
egation in the two Houses of Congress addressed
letter to the Secretary oths Treasury relative to the
construction which should be given in execution of
the Tariff of the 30th Of August last, to the word
coarsn'' applicable to wool in the first clause Of
the first section. The letter referred you for
examination; and had, you will recoect, a
suation with you upon the subject, the day after
the adjournment of Congress-; at the close of which
you expressed your concurrence in the views contain
ed in the letter. and said you should give instructions
to the Collectors of the Customs to that effect.
In the course Of our conversation it suggested
by you that, to produce greater uniformity in the
practical construction at the Custom Houses, of the
word"coarse'' it might be expedent to deposite with
the Collectors specimens Of wool deemed coarse ac-
cordng to the ordinary of that term among the
growers and manufacturers of wool, and engaged to
furnish you, practicable specimens Of such
wool. Such specimens have obtain ed and herewith
send you in two packages The largest is from Bue-
nos Ayres snd the smaller, being Of dark yellow
shade is from Morocco These specimens have OBJ

The French blockade OF Buenos Ayres in 1889 and
1910 diminished the exports of those years. and con-
sequenty swelled those of 1871 when the blockade
was raised. The annual average of the three years
was 3 373 600 pounds. That of the preceding three
years was 1928 1884 pounds; making an excess of
the last three over that of the first three years, of >,
O79, sl6 pounds-an increase of about AZ per cent.
1t was the extraordinary quantity OF fine wool thus
cheapened in the market of Buenos Ayres and thrown
in large quantities, upon our own, that suggested tho
necessity of the introduction of the word ''coarse"
into the clause in question. Its intended effect was,
to subject the higher duty all wool not coarse tho
costing less than seven cents. The following history
of the introduction of the word into the clause
will confirm this view Of the subject.
A report from the Secretary Of the Treasury upon
the subject of the Tariff was made to the House Of
