What has advanced the Price Of Wool? -"H is
not the Wing Tariff" shout the Loco eectioneer-
ers, "because coarse wool competes with ours"-
What is it. then? sob! the manufacturers have
advanced the price, for political effect; the rascals
can buy as much foreign wool as they please for .
or 10 cents, and as good ours into the bargain
Let us see, now, how much msney these manufac-
turers are throwing away for ne sake of political
capital. In 1910 the wool clip was about 80 mill
ions Of pounds-let us say it is forty millions
year now, and these men have bought last years
clip and are buying this year at an average of at
least 80 cents. These Locos say they can buy for
egn for I0 they have therefore given 20 cents
more pound to our farmers than was necessary.
How much is that on the two clips? Answer--S0
million pounds at 90 cents pound is Sl6OOOOOO
absolutely sum larger than all the capital in
vested IN woollen manufactures in lS40 Who are
the biggest fools-such manufacturers the Lo-
cos who tell this story-it is hard to decide. The
truth is easier to be got at than this in spite of all
the humbuggery about coarse wool, the importa-
tons of that article have decredsed-if it completes
with ours to any extent, the mportations certainly
would have been increased. Again-the price Of
our wool has increased for two simple first
the Tariff has protected manufactures so far tina
they can afford to pay an increased price; and sec
ond that Tariff has so reduced the imporlatons o
foreign wool, and so added TO its cost when impor
ted, by duties, that the manufacturers have beef
compelled to buy our wool at an advanced price,
We hope for greater improvement still-for ncreas
ed protection against cheap wool if it is neediu
and for fair and constant protection both to manu-
facturers and wool growers; but all our hope is i
the Wing party. Elect Locofoco President an
Congress-adopt the Polk doctrine against protec
ting manufactures, pass McKay's blll-and tn
wool-grower may slaughter his sheep-the quickc
the better.

BE WARMED!

The term of II Senators of the United States
expires on the 4th of March next, of whom all but
four are Wings, and all but three voted against Nc
DUTIES resolution for annexation. If then, the
Wings of the Union do not trunph-if these va
cancies are not filled by men sound on this great
question-if Polk is elected President we have a
President and Senate which can carry treaty OF
annexation without reference either to the people OF
their representatives Let no man directly or in
directly support james X. Polk, unless he is in ia
vor of annexation and the supremacy of the slave

Rail Road Lron Mr.. Dillingham; thinks is abom
inably taxed. BY the Wing Tariff of 1912 it was
to be free Of duty up to March 3, lS43 if actually
used, and after that time pay duty of S25 per ton
thus leaving one year for the iron to come in
free. 1t was, and we believe is now, thought that
railroad iron will soon be made here as good as the
English; if so, there certainly no good reason
why the railroad monopoies f" IA Locofoco term
should be allowed to patronzo British iron rather
than American, If not so, then Congress could
remit the duties in accordance with the spirit Of
former acts. McKay's bill imposed duty of SIC
per ton on railroad iron, and 800 per ton to be
paid if the iron was not laid down within one year

CLAY AND POLK ON PROTECTION.

We intend ere long to show up the mean and

at the Wing Club meeting on Wednesday evening
last a young man was present, who had come to
town in company with others from his town to at

though cider is great abomnation to Locos. he
had become little too much excited, and let off
his superauous steam very much TO the annoyance
of the Club. He was first kindly requested to be
quiet, but persisted in his disturbance he was then
repeatedly warned to stop or leave the hail. but in
vain, and was finally taken from the room down
stairs to the street Here he attacked whomsoever
came in his way, and met the usual fate of such
men--came OF second best. Gentlemen of the
opposite party were in the hall and declared that

It is generally thought at Washington
bat the treaty lately concluded between
bis country and the German Customs
onion, will be rejected by the Senate
Ne regret this for the reason that it is a
reciprocal treaty, whereby benefit is
1ecured to the people of both Govern
hcnts. High tariffs are monopolies for
Which the most reasonable excuse offered
) necessity. The tariff man says Eng.
hnd almost prohibits our tobacco, and
policy requires that we do the same for
Ter cotton fabrics. AT the first blush, the
'rgument looks little, very little plau-
ible. High duties, by this process, be-
eomes retributive, and those who urge
hem, like mos, yindictive persons. are
willing TO suffer some, if their enemies
buffer more.
This new treaty was the beginning Of
more humane policy. II said to Ger
inany, let our goods be received into your
Ierr;tory, at low duty, and we shall re-
eiprocate by admitting yours at a similar
sate. The argument which some OF US
pse for imposing high duties on English
'abrics is thus taken away. as far Germa-
by is concerned, and consistency and rea.
lon, we think, should induce US to act as
|hough we were serious in using such an
prgument. Mobile Tribune.
