A few days ago came out a leader enti-
tied Facts for Wisconsin Farmers, =" III
which it is stated that while the duty on a
certain grade of wool is only three to six
cents per pound, the mGatJtsct@fes OF
wool Of every description is "a cents per
pound, and in addition thereto forty per
p, cent. ad val orern. And this distinction be-
tween the raw material and the manufactur.
ed article the Nescs says is for this special
3 purpose Of expressing Wisconsin Farmers !!
The true statement of the facts are as fol-
lows: The article of wool selected by the
NesCs for its illustration, upon which there
rsy is 3Ete 6, cents duty, isea cheap coarse wool
from Mexico and South America, that is
not grown in the United States at ALL and
u 4 consequently does not come in competition
with Wisconsin Wool Growers. To clinch
the point and make the distortion of this
seat truth more apparent, the Neaos says THE
wool produced in the United States is prin-
cipally gror1 in Wisconsin and other agri-
-...r. cultural states" sgt ., -.. SIT

IS ..ato the uninformed and thoughtless, is, that

aalaa great difference between duty on Wool and
the duty on manufactures of wool, is aimed
especially at WISCONSIN farmers. But what
are the facts in the case :? Under tbesoper-
alton of the democratic tariff before the, eec-
ton of President Lincoln, when the wool
growers of the United States had. to compete
with all other parts IF the world the price of

from 55a65 cents per per pound, and the
manufacturers pay from 70 TO So cents per
u pound and the duty all grades of wool
grown in the United States, is such as to
compel the manufacturers to pay those
prices, thus actually giving the wool -growe,
