GENTLEMEN.-Permit the undersigned,
one OF your old friends, to make few sug
geStions to your honors. ..... |.
You have nearly 175, 600 Sheep in this
county, or worth probably not far
from Sl,0O0,000. Everything connected
wi b this vast and constantly increasing in
teiest-information as to the rearing, the
grades most profitable, prices, demands and
supply OF the market, buying and selling -
You have hitherto gathered indiscrimately,
either from oltentimes doubtful and inter-
ested sources, or by long and costly personal
experience. The result has often been that
many Of you were "fleeced" by some of our
not over honest tribe, A mere howl from
us has often been sufficient TO create panic
that caused you to dispose oil your wool for
tritng consideration to s6mo of our agents
and spectators. Some of US now, in dark
dens, are doubtless manufacturing panic
IN 1861, when the war; the very cause which
should have driven prices up, was alleged by
US as reason why they should come down.
The cry Of peace (and we hops true one)
will be the next panic cry-bu not until
there be reduction in prices generally
should it be suffered to operate on WOOL
While wooden fabrics have usually renamed
at uniform prices, that of the raw material
has been constantly fuctuating making
your business precarious and uncertain one
which from its importance to the country
ought not 10 be the case. Woolen goods
have now advanced many per ceut, so should
the wool, and it should remain so until at
least the manu- acturer and the merchant
cease marking on higher figures. They,
with lew pen or pencil marks, draw heavy
dividends from consumers, and why should
not producers do their own marking and de-
mand their own prices? Why should one
CIR more classes demand and receive their
own prices and another class not do the
same? The reason is, want of organ lzation
and coasbinGtion--th these are omnipotent. And
the principal object OF this article is to i'm.
press upon you the Importance Of at once
organizing Wool Growers Association in
this county. Harrison county wool is re-
.nowned the world over; and the wonder is.
both from this fact, and the foregoing con.
siderations, that you have not before this
time had something ofthe kind. You must,
in some such way, look after your own in.
terests, or combinations will look after them
for you in way not hattering to your wish>
eS.
Every class must take care OF itself-for
the golden age Of honor has not yet arrived
when all men are willing to do right with
out compulsion--and you can compel buyers
to do you justice for your WOOL must be bad.
But you can only do this by combination. -
A recent wool article in the tribune says
some Of the Eastern Mills have made divi-,
dends the past season of66 per cent; partly,
we suppose, made from the 80 cent wool
bought in this county two years ago! Cotton
'oos King the reign of wool begin.
Whothenlof your number most interest
ed, will take the responsibility ofissuing
call for the first wool>growers association Of
Harrison county, Lat it be done SOON
But if you choose to 60 on as you have been
going, why do so--and if you again find
among your hocks and hesces any OF us, you
need not blame your old and inveterate foe,
Eoe WOLF.
