duetion in price has been expert
enced in the United States, in respect to which
8 greater reduction cannot be shown to have
taken place in all other civilized countries, thus
proving two things: First, that the price Of
woollens in the United States, artifcially regu-

and their components, has no more effect on the
price Of similar goods in Europe-diminlshed
consumption possibly excepted than the welg ht
of fly on the wheel Of q carriage has in i'm
pe1ing the vehicle; and, second, that our high
tariff itself has prevented the American people
from fully enjoying that reduction in the price
OF woollens-due to cheaper raw material and
improvements in manufactured which all
years have participated. And there is not
to-day q civilized country on the face OF the
globe in which man or woman cannot clothe
themselves in woollens-quality and quantity
being equal-at least so per cent cheaper than
they can in the United States. Nov, If, as Gen
