in price now as it was under the Compromise
Act; yet the coons are endeayoring to make the
wool-growers believe that the democracy are op.
posed TO their interests. That this assertion is
positively false, will be seen by The following
facts collected by the Cooperstown Freemen's
Journal, which cannot be denied or controyer-
ted.
On the Sd of August, 1912, Mr.. Preston, of
South Carolina, moved TO strike out the duty of
5 per cent, on coarse WooI, and insert 30 per
cent. Here was a plain proposition for the ben
eft ofthe wool grower. Who voted for, and who
voted against it? Let the Journal of the Senate
answer. Messrs. Preston, King, Woodbury. and
Cuthbert, (all democrats except Mr. Preslon,)
supported the motion, and Mr.. Evans (whig,O OPP
posed it. The vote was taken, aud as follows:
YEAS-Messrs. Allen, Benton, Fulton, King
Linn; M'Roberts, Phelps, Preston, Sewer, Smith,
of Ct, Sturgeon, Tappan, Wilcox, Williams,
Woodbury., Wright and Young-l7.
NAYS-Messrs. Archer, Barrow, Bates, Bay
ard, Choate, Clayton, Conrad, Crafts, Crittenden,
Dayton, Evans, Graham, Huntington, Kerr, Man
gum, Merrick, Miller, Morenead, Porter, Sim
mons, Smith of Ia, s~prague, Tallmadge, White
and Woodbndgo-27.
Wool growers bear this in mind; all the pro-
fessiohs federalism can make cannot weigh
against this record. Here were twenty-seven
wings voting down a proposition to add Is per
cent to the duty on wool costing 7 cents and
under, and fifteen democrats voting for it, and
one against it. Only two wings preston and
Phelps) voted for it.
On the same day the Tariff bill being under
consideration, Mr.. Benton (democrat,O moved 10

lowing item:
Son coarse wool, manufactured, the value
whereof, at the last port or place whence export
ed to the United States, shall be seven cents o.
under per pound, there shall be levied a duty O
five per cent, advalorem."
MIR. Benton supported this amendment a
length; the effort Of which would practically b.
the imposing of a duty of 3 per cent, and 8 cts
a pound on all wool costing oUer 4 cents, in
stead Of I cents, as it now stands. 1t was a pro
position highly important to the wool growers
and rOtea dorm By the achig8-the party whicl
now Processes such a tender regard for that inter
est, as follows:
YEAS-Messrs. Allen, Benton, Buchanan
King, Linn, MRoberts, Preston, Smith of Or.
Sturgeon, Tappan, Wilcox, Woodbury., Wtigh
and Young--l5.

ard, Calhoun, Choatc, Clayton, Conrad, Crafts
Dayton, Evans, Graham, Huntington, Kerr, Man
/ gum, Merrick, Miller, Morehead, Phelps, Porter
!, Simmons, Sprague, Tallmadgo, Walker, Whit
and Woodbrdge-26.
There it is of the Is Senators who voted 70
his proposition, - were democrats-all but Nj
Preston. Ofthe 26 who voted in the negative
r all but three (Messrs. Bagby, Calhoun an
? Walker.) were wings.
! These facts demonstrate that the democrat
are for a higher duty on wool than the wing
+ would sustain by their votes, and the ~inferonc
: IS therefore irresistible, that the professions o
the federal wings of great regard for the WOO
growing interests are mere professions, devoi,
D of sincerity and truth.
