WOOL.

The consumption Of England is about two
hundred millions of pounds annually three
tourtiS Of which is the growth, Of Great Brit
ain, and the balance is imported from every
climate of the earth, duty free, Nearly all
this vast amount is gathered into The WOO
markets of the Kingdom, and there the best
science, and skill, and judgment of The trade
is exercised. at leasure, in purchasing at the
proper scale Of price, every grade aud descrip-
ton; and whoever varies therefrOm, in this
country or clsew here, is ignorant or needless
enough 10 place his individual judgment a
gainst the combined science and skill Of the
world.
If there IS one sentiment or opInlon relative
to the WOOL trade in which all men seem 10
agree, it is This, that hereafter the price Of
our wool must be regulated principally by its
export value. 1t must be SO, TO enable man
ufacturers to compete with foreign rivals, as
well as from The abundant supply; and il
may be worth while for the wool growers 10
consider whether they should not discourage
and look down everything offraud or decep-
ton which goes TO depress the price OF Amer
lean wool in the great markets Of the world.
" here its value is fixed.
II is folly to suppose that any considerable
prejudice exists in England against American
woods merely because they are American. No
such unreasonable feeling is supposed TO pre-
vail in regard to our corn, tobacco, or rice
But our wool has been shipped not only in
bad condition, each fleece by itself consider
ing, but long wool and short wool, the weak
and the strong, the coarse and the fine, the
telling and clothing qualities, have been IN in
gled in the same sack, with degree of knowl-
edge audjudgement about equal to that which
would characterize the conduct of a farmer
who should send his wheat, corn and oats 10
market, mixed together 10 the same bag. Let
it 60 forward in well selected packages and
Ia good condition. aud then, like our cotton
and flour, il will at once become favorite

SENATOR CAMERON ON TIE TAR
IFF

Ia recent letter to some Of the citizens OF
says:
We have only to be true TO ourselves, and
we cannot fail TO succeed in procuring the re
peal Of this law. A few months will show the
want of wisdom in its principles and details.
and prove its failure is revenue measure.
The very men who have forced it upon us, all
OF whom deny its paternity, will probably
soon seek an excuse for its change. All
thriitIess persons are discontinued with their
own situations; and envious Of the prosperity
of their more frugal neig hbors. Neither men
nor States who do not work can be prosper
Gus and our Southern elluw-ciiiZcns will
find that no reduction OF the tariff will make
th~m rich nor bring us down 10 their con
diton. They may retard our progress for a
lime, but no system of laws which they can
furce upon us will destroy the ultimate pros
perity of PENNSYLVANIA Until we can ac-
complish lis repeal in a constitutional way,
we must make the best of this law, and, by
greater economy, and more intense labor,
make up, III some de ,ree for the advantages
which it takes from ms and gives TO the work
men of foreign countries. The farmers OF
the West will soon see that they have been
deceived by the promised British market for
their az icultural prnducts; and that instead
of higher prices, they will find them reduced
with the pfostraton Of the home market,
hitherto furnished Them by the manufactures
ofihe North. Having thus learned the truth
of the old fashioned Democratic doctrine,
that agriculture. manufactures, commerce,
an, the mechanics arts are mutually DEEPEN
dent on each other, we may expect 10 sec
them again acting with their mutual allies Of
the North for the common good.

GFThe KenneJec Journal seems TO have
condensed the argument, pro and con, on the
alleged tendency ofProtection TO enrich par
ticular classes into a very small compass in
the following paragraph:
WHICH is BEsTl-The rost common and
most popular argument against the Tariff o.
1912 is that it enables the manufacturing cap
italists' 10 make large profits. Very WE'LL il
it be desirable TO reduce these profits, there
were two ways of doing it, and the Polk par
ty have taken the worst way. The better
way was TO let the law remain, and under il a
free competition would have multiplied new
works in all branches of mechanical and man
ufactnring business, making great demand
for labor. This competition would have equ-
allied profits in business generally. The 9TH
er way was adopted Of reducing duties and
inviting importations. This not only stops
all progress, all increase in domestic places,
and reduces wages every where.

child the two similar capitals, E and + Pac-
ed side by side, and after these are learned,
two others are presented in similar manner
As soon as n sufficient number oil letters are
learned, words are formed oil two or more
letters giving the first long sound Of the
vowel; and this method is continued I'LL The
letters are all learned, and the pupil becomes
acquainted with each elementary vowel and
conSonant sound. The Second Part, "The
Gradual Reader" is continuation oil
similar exercises interspersed with an admi-
rable selection of reading lessons; thus lead
ing the mind onward, step by step, till II be-
comes fully acquainted with the most dIi-
ficult combinations of consonant sound. In

proclamation. 1t strikes us as Il very extra
ordinary document There might have
been some pretext for taking formal possess
ion of The territory claimed by Texas though
never occupied, and which would embrace
the city Of Santa Fe; but that General
kearney should undertake TO seize the
whole department O: New Mexico and annex
II 10 the United States, is an extraordinary
stretch OF power which can only be justified
by express instruction from the President
(SUch instructions may Justify Gen Kearney
hut what is 10 justify the President We
had supposed that some formalites were
necessary before such wholesale annexation
OF territory could be made 10 the United
