The Wool TARIFF. Fl. B. Norton
of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, in reply to Mr.
John Stuart Mills recent letter, state;
some facts of which we note the following
"Allow me to demonstrate that in the
case of our American wooden manutac-
turers is it not the few and rich who sole
y reap the benefit of protection, but main
ly the many of small capital.
The growth of wooden factories in the
Northwest in the past ten years has been
unprecedented. Wisconsin had fifteen in
1860, and about seventy in 1870, while
in this group of western States there are
no less than 600. These factories are
owned largely by men of limited means,
who have worked their way up from the
position Of common laborers. In their
annual exhibitions and business meetings
for the past three years, they have en-
phaticalv Endorsed the present tariff on
wool, as woolens. | have correspondent
extensively with them, and visited many
of their mills, and do not believe that one
in hundred wants the tariff changed
Their interests are indentical with the wool
grower, and free wool would eventually
lniure them more than free woolens."
One of the best informed of our Wis
cousin manufacturers wrote to me recent
ly:
eve will be far more encouraged tc
pursue our enterprise than we were ever
before, if there is 40 change in the tarit
on rool, that would reduce the price Sc
low that farmers would not grow it,
Western manufactures, if they had to us'
foreign wool, would not be able to compete
with eastern manufactures, because the
cost of freight to the West would be foul
times as much on the raw material as il
would be en- the goods. "-PittSburs

WHERE COOP FARMING IS DONE
An Illinois correspondent of the Countrs
Gentleman says the poorest farming in the
country is, as general thing, to be seen
just outside the limits of our interior cities:
just as the best farming, or at any rate
the most snowy and expensive, is to be
observed just beyond the limits of great
cities. IL seems that when a farmer of the
West lives just rear enough to an interior
city, town or railroad station. to be able
to visit them and return the same day
say within five mile limit, he is pretty
apt to do so, and his farm suffers accord
ingly. Beyond the fve-mile limit daily
getting into town becomes more difficult,
but still may be achieved, and consequent
~ better improvements and neater farms
are 10 be seen between the sixth and
tenth mile limit, than between the first and
the fifth, though the maximum of neglect
occurs between the third and fourth mile
while the maximum Of neatness and order
and thrift, may be best seen between the
ninth and fifteenth mile. l state these
facts as curious and amusing examples of
now much we are all Of us creatures of
circumstances and situations, and as a
way Of warning travellers and sight seers
that they cannot well Judge of a country
unless they go beyond the third or fourth
mile limit, and even to the tenth or
fteenth.
