WHAT DO THE WOOL GROWERS SAY
TO 1T?

The new tariff bill reported by MIR. Nc
Kay, from the Committee of WAYS and
Means, and designed as peace offering, to
induce the South free trade Calhoun Loco
focos to vote for Van Buren,, proposes among
other things, to sacrifice one of the most
important of our agricultural interests-the
wool growing interest. For the last year,
the Loco Foco presses of Vermont and
Western New York, have been filled with
tariff of 1912. They have pretended that
wool was an article not sufficiently protect
ed, and have endeavored to make the farm
ers believe that their interests had been sac
ri6ced by Wing Congress Their
charges were false-were shown to be false,
by the operation Of the tariff itself, the in-
creased demand and the augmented value
of our domestic wool Now, what does
Loco Foco House propose to do? The Lo-
cos of Vermont and New York have de-
nounced the Wing Tariff because it was
not protective enough; what have they to
say now to their own party friends in the
House, who have reported reduction of
f,oelre per cent Of the present duties on for
eign wool!
The present duties are on wool Orer Z
cents pound, 30 per cent, and 3 cents a
pound The new bill leaves off the 3 cents
pound, and places it at only 30 per cent,
on the price paid for it in the country from
whence it is shipped This is not all the
reduced duty on wool even to 30 per cent
is a mere cheat, for there is a clause before
you get through the bill, stating that all d.
ties which encced % per cent are to be redu-
ced to that standard on the first Of Septem-
Der, 1916. Consequently, after the next
Presidential election is over, the duty on
wool is to be reduced 5 per cent more !
This outrageous reduction is to be made
to meet the views of the free trade clique OF
the South, to get them to vote for Van Blu
rem; or in other words, to pick the pockets
of our Farmers, to catch a few votes South
of Mason g. Dixon's line. They propose
to raise the duties on wool-the cost oil
which is less than cents a pound, from )
per cent to Is. This kind of wool does
not come in competition with any raised in
this country; consequently the raising o.
duty does not affect our wool growers at all
1t was raised merely as a binder or apology
for reducing the duty on that kind of WOO
that comes in competition with American
What do our wool growers say to this?

The lamentations Of the British editor,
which we give below, will, no doubt, meet
with the sympathy of the Tory press-once
SO ready to stigmatize the Wing party as
British Wings. Which has been shown to
be the British party in reality2 Which
party has sought to subserve British utter
ests at the expense of American labor and
American interests ! The Post and Bay
State Dem. have once affected holy horror
of "Britsh influence" what say they to the
following lamentations abroad at the fading
prospects of the success Of Mr.. Van Buren,
"The subject of the Tariff has been
again discussed in an American Congress,
without any result. There seems to be a
growing impression that nothing will be
done relative to the new Tariff until the
new President is elected and as Mr.. Van
Buren, is understood to be favorable to a
low Tariff, we see with regret that his pros
poets are becoming "small by degrees, and
beautifully less "-LiOerpooI Chronicle o.

frozen to death Unfortunate men they per-
ished within sight of their homes, and almost with
in hearing of the voices of their friends, and yet
beyond the reach of human aid One Of them was
a married man named Matherson, by whose death
two children are left fatherless and unprotected
the remaining five were young and unmarried men.
Two Of them were TO have been married in few
days and it was for the purpose of purchasing sup
plies for the expected wedding that they had under
taken the hazardous voyage to North Sydney, at
such bosterous season, thus rsking and sacri'
fcing their lives.
