Address o. Erustns b. Riselow at the
National Exhibition OF The American Insti-
tutc.
Mr.. Erastus b. Bgelow President OF the National
Association of Wool Manufacturers, delivered an
elaborate ana highly interesting address last even.
ing, CT the National Exhibition nbw in progress at
the Empire Rink, on Third avenue and sixty-,hird
street, under the auspices OF the American Institute.
The subject Of the address was, The Wool Industry
OF the United states.n The association of which
Mr. Bigelow President s only five years old, yet it
OF American wool manufactures now to be
seen at RINK q remarkable degree in
the growth and vigor OF this branch
Of home industry. The annual value OF our wool
manufactures and OF those manufactures in which
wool is a component part Is not less, according to
Mr.. Bigeow than s175 900, 900, of which nearly four
1iths are made from American WOODS. The coarse
carpet woods, which are not grown here at all, the
worsted comDlng WOODS and The line clothing WOODS,
which grown by us only in limited quantities, 80
to make ny the rest. Passing a high encomium
upon The perfection to which the wool manufacture
has been brought III this country, lie put the con-
sumption OF Wooen goods In this couniry in round
numbers at S2iDo00,O0J allowing nearly 100000 600
Tor the amount paid by the consumer for imported
wooens. The speaker criticised severely the habit
OF some who continually speak OF The inierority OF
American iabrica aud decry every thing that Is home
MADE, which leads TO American goods being pro-
yided with foreign brands to se better. Abiding
to the peculiar but temporary, causes which led to
the present depression IN the wool trade, lie said
they were oveI-stinalatlo1, an amount OF prOduc.
ton largely ahead OF the demand. That tas was
not caused by the influx OF foreign goods he showed
that the number OF pounds OF wool grown in this
country II 1859 was GJ,5il,5i while IN 1868 1t had
risen TO Ii,00J 600 pounds AID the value of domes
TIC wool manufactures HAD increased IN the
same period from $os,ooo,0Oo TO $l75,00o,000.
Much CT this excess OF production over
present demand, he said was due to the war, which
made cotton scarce and turned cotton mills into
woolen mills. The principle which underlies our
present tarif on woods and woollens was earnestly
defended by lengthy argument. embellished with
statistical comparisons OF the condition OF labor and
the conclusion that Congress has wisely entered
protective system. The Elusive notion of free trade
very fair in theory said MI. Bigeow but wholly
unsatisfactory IN practice as 1t ignores the great
law OF self-inLerest aud the duty OF nation TO pro-
tect Its own industry against the injurious effects OF
foreign competition duty as sacred az to defend
fits soil and its homes against the aggresslons of
open war.

OF the accident the most tremendous excitement
prevailed among the miners employed In the neigh

the facts developed themselves immediate steps
were taken TO AFFORD the unhappy men relief. Wlth
