Last year we payed foreign countries
$50, 600, 900 for wooden goods, and $11,-
100000 for manufactured goods. When
we have in the country twenty millions
more sheep than we now have, we shall
only produce what wool we use; and
yet there is no country on the earth
where it would seem that sheep could
be raised so proftably as in the United
States. But we are coming every year
nearer to supplying our own markets
with the wool they demand. In 1875 the
wool clip Of the country was nearly
200. 900, 900 pounds, while in 1860 il
was only 75,0O0,O0 0 pounds.-National

Horatio Seymour, being interviewed
by II reporter, expresses the conviction
that the election of Mr.. Tilden will
eventually be acquiesced inland that ths

the country believe that it had wrong
fully counted in Mr. Hayes. In conclu'

tire from their untenable position in re-
