The Wool DUTY.
Washington Letter, 1Sth.l

Governor Hoadly, of Ohio, appears to
agree with Congressman Converse that the
wool duty must be restored. His reasons are
set forth in letter received from him by
Speaker Carlisle, in which the governor
says:
Some little time since Mr.. Harpster cham
pion wool grower of Ohio, asked me to write
you, urging restoration of the former duty on
wool, in accordance with the platform of the
Ohio Democracy. 1 told him I thought he
wonld find you held well defined views, pro
and con, on this subject, which
no letter from me could modify or
promote. But as he pressed me, cannot
but think it well to advise you of the grounds
upon which those of US in Ohio who desire
tariff reform are able to sustain our approval
of this part of our platform. The farmers
and planters of our country pay increased
prices, caused by tariff taxation on their
utensils, their clothing, indeed, on every
thing they consume or use, while the product
of their labor is measured by Liverpool
standards. 1t is obvious that this will con-
tinue in some degree as long as we have any

MUD. GLOOM AND DEPRESSION

Yesterday was the most dreary day of the
season From early morning until noon
cold DRILLING rain continued without mo-
ments cessation, converting the streets into
rivers of mud and slush. Scarcely any bus
mess was done and general air of gloom
pervaded the entire city. The corner loafers
betooll themselves into the comfortable pre-
cincts Of the saloons, billiard halls and other
pleasant quarters. The politicians, gosslps,
and news-inoagers, including newspaper
reporters, took their stand in the postofiice,
until the clerks began to look at them sus-
pciously, then they cleared out. Even
the army of dravs, express wagons ETC., that
usually congregate in front of the New ! ork
store, to the grea; disgust Of many citizens,
was conspicuous by their absence.
! In short business on the streets was at a
stand still, and those who had occasion to be
out hurried along, splashing the mud and
shyering with cold. About noon the snow.
the snow, the beautiful snow, began to de-
scend, but the bright feathery flakes melted
as soon as they reached the cold earth As
night came on and the atmosphere had be-
come colder, the snow gained in strength
and covered the earth, and at the present
writing it locks rs ii it would be several
inches deep by morning.
The streets arc entirely deserted and the
city Is rs still as cemetery.
