REPUBLICAN REDUCTION OF THl
TARIFF ON wOOL
President Arthur's Message: 81 recon
mend substantial reduction OF the dutie
on sngar, molasses. silk, WOOL, ant
wooden goods"
To show the disregard of Republican
Congress for the agricultural interests o
the country, take, for example, tine single
article of wool, which is produced here
but with which imported wool from for
eign countries successfully completes in ou
own markets. The varied climate and sit
uation of this vast country are wei
adapted to the production of this article
and the home markets furnish an endless
demand for it as one of the comforts snC
necessities OF life. And if our immensl
regions of vacant lands adapted to produc
tion of wool could be utilized, the homt
markets for it could be fully supplied, ano
that at a reduced price. Ths national in
forests required that this branch of pro
ductive industry should be fostered anG
encouraged.
The act of 1867 imposed a duty on first
or less, OF ten cents per pound, and II
per cent. dd uatOrem; and when costing
over tnirty-two cents, twelve cents PEI
pound. and 10 per cent. al UdIoreaR; and
also similar duties on wool OF the second
aud third classes. And 1t appears that the
quantity of wool annually produced Is
more than three times as great as 1t was al
the date of the passage of that act. The re
port of the Tariff Commission to Congress
last winter in reference to this tariff on
wool says: "The wisdom which guided its
promotion has found substantial vindica
ton in the growth of sheep husbandry
during the past fifteen years. And as q
result OF augmented production the price
of woods has been reduced to the con-
sumer." (See Rep, p. 2s.) This report
further says, what is worthy OF note, that
mot State in the Union, and in some OF
these not a county. but has some portion
of its wealth invested in wool production y
Prior to the tariff act of 1867, the animal
wool production of the country. was but
little over 60,0o0,00O pounds. Under the
encouragement given to it the production
of 1880 exceeded 235, ,O0O, 600 pounds. Not
withstanding this effect of the fostering
hand of the Government upon home pro-
duct;ve industry, the Republican Con-
gress, at its last session, under the infiu-
ence and the lash Of the New England
manufacturers (already protected by n
heavy tariff on foreign eloths) reduced the
tariff on wool by taking off the ad Ualorem
part of the duty entirely. No pretense of
complaint has or can ever be made that
this tariff on wool has ever produced
monopolies, or given unjust advantage 10

tinguished Judge continues: aDut what
this one man is doing prudent men. Mre

to see whether they can put it out again" |"
Oh, yes, the whole world-that is, the

opera-glasses in hand, every fellow with q
sail, some bunting as big as this room,
some no bigger than q shirt-tail, all ready

perity of America is thereby once again
assured against a danger which can not
possibly occur until this time three years
hence. What wonderful show of white
bunting there Shall be October 10th next,
il the Judge only beats me!
"The consequence is," says Judge For
aKer, ''that notwithstanding We have q
sound currency, fruitful and abundant
harvests, and all other conditions that
favor trade and prosperity, yet there is
feeling of sensitiveness developing itself
in business circles which is making itself
felt in declining prices for iron and coal,
for wheat, corn and hogs, and all other
products of manufacture and agriculture,
and this means less protection, less de-
mand for labor, and lower wages for the
labor which is employed"
A sound currency, oh, yes! We have
fru itful and abundant harvests. God has
been good to US, and all the other con-
ditions that involve trade and prosperity
but the danger that George Hoadly will be
elected Governor OF Ohio is making itself

THE Ohio wool-growers who aided in the
election of the Democratic ticket, because of
pique toward certain Republicans who in
Cured their displeasure because of a modifi-
cation of the tariff on wool, are probably
beginning to think that they threw them
selves away without sufficient, reason. 1t is
absurd to expect any practical aid from the
Democratic politicians OF that State who
promised so confidently to stand by the
wool.growers' interests. The election of Mr..
Carlisle to the speakership commits the
party to steady assault upon the tariff,
which means a regular and important re-
duction of all protective duties until free
trade is reached. Already bill has been
prepared reducing the tariff on woods by %
per cent, to take effect on the 1st OF July,
1884, and another like reduction to take
effect one year later. Their resentment has
made fools of Ohio sneep-raisers, and they
will soon begin to realize the first adverse
dividends on their investment The incanta-
ton of hoodooing the ignorant is akin to the
process of Hoadlying Ohioans, But it will
hardly succeed the second time, and Ohio
