This certainly shows that the Tariff has
protected our wool.growers from foreign
competition, IN a very substantial and ellec-
tive manner.
The Pouehkeepsie Journal and Eagle
speaks as follows
PoUGnKEtPs1E Wool MARKET.-FARMERs
MARK THAT 1--WE are informed that last week
Judge Morgan Carpenter, of this county, sold
his crop of wool, which was very large, for ffy'
fre cents per pouud. Last year he sold the wool

cuiocos are constantly crying ont that the tariff

can see, as well as in hunireds of other nsan-

much as any other class. Woo goes M be-

thing wanted. Let the system he Kept up firm.

! Tor wool, Is, however, matter, III our humble
opinion, OF no small moment to the wool grow
ers OF this par: of Ohio; and to the whole State
the aggregate receipts for wool will swell to :
very great sum.
In speaking of the same subject the S,
Louis New Era has the following -
Woor.-Yesterd9 morning we noticed above
thirty bales of very fine wool that arrived in the
steamboat Jasper from the Counties OF Fulton
and Greene, in Illinois. 1t was owned BY WI
More, who has extensively engaged in the bust
ness of raising and manufacturing wool. lie
has one thousand sheep at his fold in Illinois
and says that the prarles OF the West are muci
better for raising sheep and wool than the agri-
cultural lands ct fennsv lv3na and Ohio-Theil
unol i. thar Nnnro- la-, -,
do not contain so much oil, and on that account
the wool is much better for manufacturing pur.
poses. lis wool is principally from Mexico ol
Saxon sheep, and would command 81 ID cents
per pound in this market. lie states that many
farmers are going extensively into the sheep anc
wool business in that part of Illinois: that farm,
are opening tor that purpose. and that man,
sheep have been recently brought ON from OAlo
some droves numbering as high as one thou
sand and that it is like ~ to become very eX
tensive and lucrative business on the prairles. -
All that can be SAID in favor of Illinois, as
} wool growing country, is equally appl cable t,
Missouri, and when we will have many factor g,
for the purpose of making cloth in our OWE
States. So long as we Depended on Great Britain
for our WOODEN cloths Tnd cloIhing, we had little
use for wool; bur since our Wing Tariff has at
iorded a fair protection to American wool and I,
our wooden manufactures, a new impulse ha,
been given to the business, and wide and prot
liable field has thus been opened ir the labo
and enterprise of our farmers and manufacturers
We can conceive Of nothing more absurd thar
for the people Of the United States to send mil
lions OF dollars to England for cloth made q
} British wool and by British laborers, when i car
I be raised and manufactured so advantageous,
in our own country. 1t must be British party
that would advocate such policy.
We might ill our paper with similar test
mony 10 the benefcient operation of til,
Tariff upon the Wool growing interest bu
we must for the present content ourselves
with the following additional arllcle from tn.
