then presents price lists showing that the wool
grower is injured by the present tarin; that the
price abroad has recently advanced from sxty-eight
10 100 per cent, while the price OF American wool
has advanced only from three to twenty three per

prices OF American wool were under nigh protective
tariffs and the highest average prices under the
lowest revenue tariffs; that the protective duties
defeat themselves, increasing the cost OF production

and the statement closes with a recommendation
that specific duties be removed altogether. and all
