Wool and NSOOIcns.
COOperstOWn.

1t has been standing accusation against the
New Tariff that 1t did not sufficiently protect
the Wool growers of thus Country. Because
peculiar kind of coarse Wool, neither grown nor
4iyaled in this Country, was admitted at Il low
duty, it has been roundly asserted that Foreign
Wool was admitted at little or no duty, and the
Manufacturer alone protected. Now the fact Is
very different from this The New Tariff is
more stringent against the importation of Wool
1h.>n any former one; and, although the mporta
,;on of the very coarsest and poorest Wool for
neeyo- cloths, &c. is permitted alta very low duty,
vet the total importation of Woo. has been far
3ess since this Tariff was adopted than in any pre-
gious corresponding period for many years.
But acain .Yhie Woolen fabrics are lower
now than they ever were before. Wool Ao& al

oy the Journal Of Commerce, which, IN admitting,
undertakes to confuse and snosr down the facts,
follows:

The Journal is welcome to It's dull Jokes and
as moor sophisms since il admits the essential
facts. That Tariff requires some time to make
itself fell, in the business of the Countrywide,
Wool cannot rise TO the high rates II once bore
since sheep are cheaply grown on the Great Pral
riies of the West and South West, and Money is
less abundant and more valuable than formerly
and that the natural effect OF efficient Protection
is-by bringing the farmer and manufacture
nearer each other, and thus simplifying ano
cheapening their exchanges of roducts-to ralst
