WOOL.GROWER'S CHEATED.

1t is well known by every reading man,
that the Wings in Congress made use OF ev-
cry possible effort to make the tariff OF 1872
as enec,ual as possible for the protection Of
Wool growers. All wool except such as
was really coarse, was subjected to the high
est rate of du,es-3 cents per b., and ~
per cent advaloren,, while the per cent
was limited TO coarse wool only, when cooio
not compete with the domestic production,
and costing under cents per pound IN Inc
South American market. Several provisions
we're made to prevent under valuations ny
miyiup foreign substances, and charging up
on bales according to the finest wool which
each contained, sc. And yet it IS a fact
avowcd by the Locoiocos themselves, that
nine ,cnths of all the wool imported from
South America pays the lowest rate OF du-
ties, although it is well understood that OF the
five or six different, grades ofwool imported
tiom that quarter, three or tour are inner
grades which come in competition with ours,
and shouldb he charged will, cents per pound
and 80 cents advaorem, which would a.
mount to rs per cent advalorem.
/ In consequence of this abomlnable iraud
upon the wool growers, suffered 10 be prac-
ticed by the Executive, the importation OF
/ S. American wool has increased from about
) millions in 1915 to 20 millions in 1916.
And look at the manner in which these
hypocriical friends of protection to the wool
grower propose to remedy the evil of which
they so loudly complain. Ins'ead of carry
inp ont the present tariff, winch would fairly
allow duty of - per cent advalorem on at
least half of the wool imported from South
a
per cent advalorem upon impor.aiions Of
wool OF every description. Yes, to remedy
what they pronounce the " outrageous hum
buggeyy Of the present Wing tariff upon
wool growers, and which has brough, Tre-
trievnble ruin upon them; Two cents pound
is the only prescription of these empty pre-
tenders for protection TO the farmer" But
such has been the abominlble dnplicity Of
Loroiocoism in relation to protection, from
bpgnuing TO end. They have ever declar-
ed themselves opposed TO a tariff for pro,ec-
ton on any branch Of domestic industry.
They objected to the Tarlil Of 1912 on the
around that it aimed at protection. and in
| every stage of It's progress through Congress
attempted to reduce it un wOolrn goods
which is even verse for the wool grower
: than to reduce it on wool itself. They are
tins moment eagerly employed in Congress
in reducing the tariff from an average Of for

ROBBERY.

The first robbery to our knowledge which
ever occurred IN the County of Addison, was per.
petraed IN the afternoon of Tuesday lost. A
boy about Is accompanied by his sister of about
90, in ascending the mountain from Hancock to
Rihon, in about the centre of the wood, were
suddenly accos'cd BY man who rushed upon
them from the ,hcket with his face painted red
aud disguised in sort of wrapper of the same
color who, with pistol in hand, demanded their
money. The boy delivered up his wallet, con-
tanning six dollars, to the robber. who instantly
disappeared. frightened aud deprived of their
money, our young travellers conclude to re urn
to Rochester But before getting down the
mountain, they were met by Mr. Flint of Han,
cock who with another man, purSuaded them
to continue on their journey under their prorcc
ton. The people OF Ripton were OF course pu,
upon the watch. About dark two men issued
from the woods into the clearing on the top of
the mountain. They were followed by the
sturdy Green Molutaneets Ia smiths m R,o.
ton, where they were arrested, and searched
and found equipped 10 the teeth for the parppses
of robbery and murder. Beside the red mimi

they were tried before George Cb,pran. E.G.

fectly conclusive by the confessions n the Of

"THE ENGLISH Boy NOTHING OF Us!"--
ID the continual cry Of the sprotectonists," }" who
would stop all trade between Great Britain and the
United States, were il In their power to do it A
pretty good commentary on this absurd cry of theirs,
is afforded by the following sentence from the Bos-
ton Courier, as thorough-going and able whig
paper as there is in. the Union. Speaking ofa new
and beautiful ship on the point of sailing for Liv-
erpool from Boston, the Courier says;
"The Anglo.Saxon is nearly full of passengers,
and has cargo consisting Of 1895 barrels flour,
500 barrels rosn, 233 bales cotton, 280 casks tai
low, and butter. lard leather, oil, Yankee notions,
Sc., in almost any, quantity and variety"
That's tolerabIe fair for country whose inhab-
itants "buy nothing ofus."9 Perhaps the articles
named are presents made to the "British pauper
Iaborers, sof whom we hear so much. by the "first
men" Of Boston; but our opinion is that they are
such "presents" as Mr. Morris Brown was in the
habit Of making to his friends, which were always
accompanied by an interesting piece Of paper, gen.
orally known as "litte BILL" the effect of which
was to divest the sensitive mind of any keen sense
