Tho imports at Now York during tho last weoI
of March, 1873, lad gold value Of 814, 900, 600.
From this it appears tlat tho heavy ta1oa under
which Congress- ia opprossng tlio people, to pro-
toot tho manufacturers from foreign competi-
ton, do not exclude foreign goods. Another
significant fact on this subject is, TINT, einco
1867, whom wo placod tho enormous dutios on
raw wool, tho production Of wool in thq United
States was not advanced, but, in proportion to
tho population. waH less In 1879 than 1t was In
1867; wlilo In Canada tho production Of wool,
In tho samo lve yoars, has mora than doubled.
Wo have actually reduced the proportionato
amount Of American wool, hayo stimulated it's
growth in Canada, and have largely Increased
our importatlons, not only Of foreign WOODEN
goods, but Of foreign raw wools.

population Of the United Btatos, and, OF courae,
Of tho consumers of wooden goods, has ainoreaaod,
while tho domestic production Of wool has re-

was made botwoon woolon-manufaoturors md
wool-growers Of this country. Tho contract wae
ratified by Congress- In the net known as tue
wool tariff OF 1867. Il was MI agreement by
which tho duty on raw woo1s should bo largely
Increased, and tho duty on wooden manufactures
should bo advanced in tho samo manner. These
duties wore adroitly managed 80 that tho tariff
on tho coarsor linoa Of woolon goods, such ua
blankets, shawls, and cloths should range from
ito 100 per cont. II was also fraudu1ontly ar-
ranged that tho duty on carpet woo1a should bo
nominal, while tho duty on carpets should 10
| from 65 to 05 por cont. This tariff has boon In
operation ainco March, 1867. In tho joint

The way that tariffs arc made ia shown nv n
discussion before tho Committee Of Ways and
Means, last winter. 1t will DO rcmomborod that,
by tho act Of 1879, macaront and yornIcoli woro
placed on tho froo list. Mr. Dawes said 1t was
done by fnadvertonce. When Congross met, In
Decombor1ast, tho sole American manufacturer Of
macaroni went 10 Washington to insist upon bo-
ing protected by tax Of 85 per cont On the pub
Lie for his bonoht. Ho waa permitted to make q
speech to the Committee, In which no stated
that In consequence Of macaroni being p1acod
on tho froo List, he was compelled to sell his
macaroni at 10 cents pound, whom, bofore tho
chango, hc got 20 cents for IT; and this afflic-
tion, which took s conts a pound out of his
pocket, ho insisted hhould be rometied by ro-
of tho. tax. Tho following then o.
ourred:- =;
aIr Kerr; member Of the Committee, put to him
'ho following question: "If I, then, rightly undcr-
Hand your wants aud necessities they would 10 fully
mot by tho enactment by Congress Of law that hero-
after all nlacaron1 now sold for 15 cents per pound
hal be aold at 20 cents aud TINT ono shall be- per-
nisted to purchase at rate 1css than tho latter

back by this practical setting forth Of tho effect Of his
proposition that for time he Bcomed ut loss for an
'nBwer, but recovering himself he stammercd out,
fe-ycs that would certainly anawcr; but thats not

The general rosult Of both statomenta is tho
game: the production Of domestic wool haa
not advanced, md is stationary while, as COM
pared with population, 1t has seriously declined
during tho last si1 yoars. The failure d this
promise to increase shoop huHbantlry in tho
United States ia rendered moro complete by the
figures Of tho foreign wools imported into tho
