DUTY ON COARSE WOOL


The Atlas and Correspondent Of the Argus
come TO the relief Of their Fonda and Ouonda ga
friends, in relation TO the duty on coarse Wool, but
they will all fail to keep up the mystication, now
that their assertions, by the new Tariff Law, viii
be brought to the test. We are glad to have
smoked our neighbors out with declaration that
McKay's Dill raises the duty on coarse Wool, be-
cause when the reverse appears, they will be nail
ed TO the wall.
Before the Presidential election this matter was
fully discussed and partially understood. There is
species OF Wool grown in South America, cost
ing there from to II cents pound. To protect
our Wool growers from this competition, the friends
Of the Tariff of 1912 imposed heavy duty
There Is another description of Wool grown in
tropical climates, which is scarcely better than
goats hair costing from TO cents a pound
This is used for negro cloths at the South and like
every thing affecting Southern interests, was pro-
posed to be subjected TO low duty. Mr.. Mat
tocks, Of Vermont moved TO apply the specific duty
to this description also, but as it did not interfere
with American Wool, there being none grown here
Of so inferior quality, the Southern men were al
lowed to have that their own way The duty
therefore, upon coarse Wool costing less than
cents pound is merely nominal.
The evil so far as it exists, consists in the frauds
practised by wool spectators, with nc conny
ance of Custom houses. Large quantities of
wool is purchased abroad at s, 8, 10, III, aud II
cents pound. 1t is then in virtue of a shan sale
u
way which, with the consent of the Free Trade
Custom House Officers cyades the law by coming
in with nominal duty. So that the wool which
is inyoiced at Tess than cents pound, IS sold
here for Is and Is cents u pound
If any wool were grown IN this country worth
less than cents pound, OF Il any was imported,
except such as the North allowed lie South TO OBJ
tain upon the easiest terms, it would be true that
upon such descriptions, the present tariff raises the
duty. But there is not enough Of that description
to split hans about, as we shall soon see. The
present tariff takes from every pound of foreign
wool which comes IN competition with our own
WOOL duty of 3 cents pound. Three dollars,
therefore, is taken from the pockets of American
farmers for every hundred pounds of wool they
grow.-.ll6ay Ere. Jour.
TIE TARIFF OF 4G..-The disastrous effects of
the new Tariff Bill are already beginning to be felt
in this city. One of our heaviest manufacturers
OF wooden goods in West Moyamensing has stop
ped his looms. Others have made reduction of
cent and half u cent on fabrics, and several
have been compelled to discharge hands. An eX-
lenslVe iron manutactary, we learn, will be obliged
to discharge a large number of men today. Aost
OF the manufacturers of cotton goods at Paramount
and other manufacturing districts Of Philadelphia
will either have to stop, or make reduction of
IRON 20 TO 80 per cent, on wages. new hinge
mandatory in Southwark, we hear will not be able
TO 80 on. 1t is reported that the Globe Mill in
huhslnSlon VIII discharge one OrlWo hundred llahuS
today. We hope, however, that the rumor may
turn out to be incorrect The poov operative must
from this time forward suffer- at least long Mr..
McKays bill shall continue to inlllct its upon
the counry.-Phh North an. Of Saturday.
