Mr. WELLS on WOOL AND WooLENs.
Seldom has a government officer put
forward an argument so apparently disin-
genuons and intentionally misleading as the
statements of Commissioner Wells In bis
last report, relative to the effect of the tar.
if, framed BY the wool growers and wooden
manufacturers, and passed BY Congress IN
1867. The tho Ough practical business men
who framed this tariff. bad teen engaged, q
part Of them, in manufacturing wOoiens,
and the others in growing sheep, when Mr..
Wells was ediring text books for school
boys. They were familiar by personal ex
perience as well as By careful study with
the effects Of tariff legislation upon wool
ind stry for the past fifty years It would
be strange indeed, if they could not frame
tariff that would promote their own tusi-
ness To argue this is to assume that one
has no practical knowledge Of business
whatever, comprehends its interests better
than those who know most about it. For
mark the claim Of Mr. Wells is, not that
the wool growers and wooden spinners have
combined to Cypress the people, that they
have made high woods and dear wOOlens ;
that they have "lessened the weight Of
the covering over the shivering babe, and
stripped of its decent veil the rigid corpse. ="
as free trade rhetoricians would express
the fact, if wool were high. Mr.. Wells
does not appear in this case as volunteer
counsel for the consumers. Those be tao
lily admits are doing Z" as we'll as can be
expected" since manufactured wooden
goods, Notwithstanding our high rates OF
interest, Of taxes, and Of labor, are nearly
all as low, and many of them lower than in
1850 Flannels that sold for Is cents per
yard in 1860, sold in 1860 and still sell for
Is cents in gold. Twilled scarlets that
then sold for 80 cents now sell for 20, Bal
lardville A white, No. /, then selling for
rs cents now brings IS cents, and 9th
er grades in proportion.
While the consumers Of salt, coal, lum-
Der, iron, and other articles on which the
tariff was framed by Congress at large,
have, according to Mr.. Wells, fallen a
prey to the producers Of those articles, the
consumers of woods and woolens, the tar
if on which was passed exactly as framed
by the wool growers AMI wooden spinners,
have bad the quantity Of Of woods and
woolens that can be bought for days
work by the consumer in any part Of the
land nearly doubled, and both wool and
woolens reduced to SO low prices that tn
factories are obliged to close 40 overstocked
market, and the wool growers 10 kill their
sheep for their pelts and talow.
If this be go, then IA tie name of the
consumers, and Of cheap goods, let all tar
ifs hereafter be framed solely BY the do
nestle producers OF the articles on which
they are aid Since the producers Of

and more certain that the cutting down of
forests in France is rapidly decreasing the
annual rainfall.
THoUGH apparently in state Of rest, the

feet above the level of the seas. Piesse.
As tallow meters, oil boilers, varnish
makers, and others, are very liable to acct
dents from fire, DR.. Piesse suggests to
them the application Of Sir H. Davy's
discovery of wire gauze, as in the miners
lamp, for the prevention Of accidents, By
covering the boilers and watts during oper-
alton with a drum-head or dome Of wire

added, under constant stirring, o. of

the fluid, and afterwards we'll washed with

however, quicker BY putting the goods for

then washed in the same way.

Twas milking time and the cows came up
From the meadows sweet with clover,
And stood in the lane, while pretty Jane
Had a quiet chat with the Grover
Such a quiet chat that It scarcely seemed
That a sing word SPOKEN;
While a magic spell with the night dew fell,
And the rhythm Of song was unbroken.
The cattle stood at the lovers side,
without any show Of Yexation,
As thouEb impres sed that FIVE bar rest
Was part OF their restoration.
And AZ Jane listened to the notes that came
Right under the bars and over,
Her heart took wing like silly thing,
And nestled up close to the drover.
she heard him say that his home was poor.
That he'd nothing but love TO give her;
And she smiled content, as though love had spent
Every srroN he had In his culver
she smiled content, a. the eveningAr
with the voices Of birds vas ringing;
And her lips confessed that a ioWly nest
Should never prevent her singing.
