Previous to 1859, in several instances. wool
had brought IN this market as high as fifty
cents per ID. The unsettled state OF the coun-
try from 1859 to the breaking out Of tine rebel
hon in 1861, had depressing influence upon
the general business of the country, and the
prices of all kinds Of farm produce ruled very
low. 1t will he seen by referring to the above
figures. that the price Of wool kept pace with
that OF gold. in it's rise and fall. up to 1866
After the close OF the war, and the disbandIng
Of the army, large amount Of army clothing
and woolen goods. manufactured principally
from cheap imported wool, and rags. were
thrown upon the markets at greatly reduced
prices. The high prices which had prevailed
during the war, and the low tariff, had stimu-
lated importers to import largely. The wool
growers Of this country, had increased their
fiocks to the uttermost. These causes together
with others which might be mentioned, had the
effect to reduce the price Of wool below 'lving
rates." The business has been run into the
ground" Flocks have been neglected. as the
wool would scarcely pay for the keeping
Sheep have been slaughtered by thousands,
and many Of our largest and best wool-growers
have abandoned the business altogether. But
how does the case stand now2 Congress heard
the petition OF the wool-grewers and liberal
tariff has been put upon the importation of
fine wools. The surplus army clothing is worn
out. The ''shoddy" goods have again dissolved
into rags. and the people have had their "eye
teeth cut" by the swlndle. The demand for
A IOtb
woods, was never better. The old wool Of the
country is nearly exhausted. and the mills are
running upon ''short allowances" Importa-
tions cannot be made to meet the present
pressing demands. The present clip, now in
the hands Of the producers, the manufacturers
must have, and at such prices as the wool-grow-
ers demand. For nearly ten years ''boards of
trade" composed OF gambling spectators,
have fixed, and controlled the price of wool,
and nearly every other article raised or con-
sumed by the farmers, swindEng the people to
enrich themselves. But now the wool-growers
have the power IN their own hands, and for
me. / say, let us use it, and demand for our
wool what is right and just. And what shall
that price be? Under the great financial de-
preston of 1859 & go, upon gold basis, wool
was worth from 40 to Al cents per lb, add to
this the premium on gold and the increased
tariff, and we have something of an idea what
the present clip is worth. Hence the farmer
who sells his wool, if well washed and handled
for less than fifty cents per b. sells it for less
than 1t is worth, and less than it cost bim to
raise it.
