Tho Arst under the new tariff,
fou1d them moro deeply In debt than they
xe1e In 1857. The s4nf had put in the
market th1re pounds OF wool when there
had before been only two, and where the
demand had been gre.tly reduced. Many
manufactures in which American and
foreign wools had boen combined werc
stopped, because Of the high duty on thr
latter. Tho 4shomc mn.ko." was more
crowded with wool than it had ever been
ahen foreign woods were admitted frec, md
the price 10 the producer WAS less in cur

potency Of the tariff, the WOOL
growers persisted. only to taste more

Commissioner Of Agriculture estimates the
sheep slaughter in 1861, at a,o0o, 900, and
Commissioner Wells puts it at Is per cent
ii the whole number. Taking the two es-
tsmases together. and putting the average
cost Of the slaughtered nnilnals at s.. csch,
the actual destruction Of property in tho
"re season is 5000, 900. But this de-
strrc:ion has not had the effect Of incrcAs-
ing the price Of wool, It is now selling
for less money than at any time since 1871.
The value Ut the unslauShterel focks has
net been increased by the reduction in the
number, because the demand for wool has
still further declined with tho general dc.
clino Of the woollen manufacture. The
tariff framed by these two elasces for thei1
joint benefit {for tho American people had
90 more to do with it than the inhabitants Of
