Mr.. Lawrence, one of the most extensive dealers and
manufacturers in wool in America. We beg the at

tons of his experience:
LOWELL Mass, Feb. 10, 1913.
My DEAR SIR: Your very kind and interesting ia
vor of the 9th ult duly 10 hand and should if
practicable, have received earlier reply. The BUSH
ness of wool-growing in this country is destined to
be of immense Importance; and I am firm in the be-
lief that within twenty five years shall produce
greater quantity of wool than any other nation.
You ask, ais the present heme demand supplied o.
There is not enough annually raised in the country
by 100000 pounds to meet the demand of the
manufactures.
You ask, ''What countries can export wool toys
&c. This country will not export wool regularly for
fifteen years. for the reason, that the consumption
will increase as rapidly as the production. l can
punt HldUe Oh WOOl UOW Imported, which
will require thirty millions of pounds, of a medium
and fine quality, to supply the consumption.
The business of manufacturing wool in this coun-
try is better basis than BEFORE inasmuch as
the character skill, and capital engaged in it are
such that foreign competition is deied. very few
years, and all articles of wool used here will be OF
home manufacture.
Now beg of you to keep the wool-growers steady
20 the mark. Let them aim to excel in the blood and
condition Of their focks, and the day not far dis
tant when they will be amply remunerated. l shall
always have great pleasure in hearing from you and
remain yours, most truly,
SAMUEL LAWRENCE.
HENRY S. RANDALL, Esq, Cortland, New York.
II is worthy of note (says the Vermont PATRIOT
that Mr. Lawrence has no idea that the present rates
of duty wool will be changed for the present. and
has no anticipation that the tariff of 1912 will be
stored 1t is worthy of note also, that Mr. Lawrence
expressed the opinion that the business of manuac-
turing wool in this country is better basis than
ever before J" And this under "Bob Walkers Free
