Nuts for Tariff Thinkers.
IH-4f.. ~ -.-.--.-t-


Dir. Rowland Hazard, Of Rhode Island, Is
the writer Of paper read at the recent
free trade convention at Chicago, entitled:
"Does the high tariff on wool benefit the
wool growerf" Referring to the tariff OF
1867, he soys IL was expected ito raise the
price of wool and the price Of goods,n and
especially "to increase the growth Of wool"
and he stoutly AYERS that 'none of these re-
suits followed the enactment Of this tariff.m
This Is a statement that involves the reck-
lessncsss Of mule driver and the hazard Of
n powder maker. IL Is the exhibition of as
suranco that is extra hazardous.
The production Of wool In 1860, including
that Of animals slaughtered during the
year, was about 75,000,000 pounds in 1885,
about 30S, 100000 pounds. The quantity Is
more than four times that produced in
1850; the increase $40 per cent, while the
increase Of population has been about so
per cent. This seems to be satisfactory
'1ncreasc in the growth of wool" to any
man not free trader desirous Of procuring
his material in South America and South
Africa from persons who own no land and
pay no taxes, or next to none, and respond
to no demands OF civilization or culture
An Increase of 50,000,000 or $50, 900, 900 In
the annual receipts Of the wool grower Is a
matter Of no concern TO the wealthy
manufacturer, but II is vitil CON
sideration to the flock master. II is the
volume Of the annual income and its
regularity and permanency that render
II so important. II is the market for the
product of many million Of sheep that Is
valuable, while demand for few neeces,
whatever the price, would not tempt the
grower. He wants steady market, q re-
liable demand at fair prices. The wool
supply has attained a point in which there
is mutual dependence between the grower
and manufacturer. The destruction of our
flocks would seriously excite the markets of
the world, and sadly reduce the average in
trinslc quality OF the manufacturers ma
terial.l
In 1850, large part Of the woolens con-
sumed were either made in foreign coun-
sumption is principally Of home grown
and home manufactured wool. A large
part of the imported wool is low-priced
carpet wool which We neither desire nor
produce; and the manufactures imported
are almost exclusively fine or fancy goods,
dress goods cassimeres, fine knit goods, &C.,
worn by the rich, who buy them because
they are foreign. II the tariff averaged
200 per cent. there are dudes who
would purchase nothing that was not
foreign.
The worsted lines Of manufacture were
few and small in values In 1860. The hos
iery and carpet business have had their do
velopment mainly since that date. 1t was
said at that time that we could never COM
pete in those lines. But the tariff OF gold
premiums was far higher than the tariff OF
1867, and a production of goods worth
eighty millions, made largely from foreign
wool, in 1860, was increased to SIT, 400, ,093
in gold (S217, ,s26 in currency, and to
S267, ,9l3 in 1880. What is more i'm
portant to wool growers--four times as much
domestic material was used.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: The very
interesting and kindly notice which ap.
peared in this mornings edition of your
paper, relating to the religious exercises
and free Thanksgiving dinner for the poor
at the mission yesterday, contained one
grave error, which you will, doubtless,
cheerfully correct. II states that 'thc la
dies, under the direction OF the chairman,
Mrs. Hitchcock, and representing all the
Methodist churches, prepared the foOd,n
&C., giving the altogether false impression
that only one denomination was engaged in
the work.
The Central Union Mission was organized
and is sustained by the united efforts of
nearly all the evangelical churches of this
city, and, while the mission is undenomina-
tional and non-sectaran, 1t represents every
religious denomination, aud is aided by
members Of nearly every creed and sect. It
seeks to bring the gospel Of Jesus to bear
upon the dlssipated, the vicious, and the
criminal classes, and, after conversion,
place them in the church Of their choice.
The ladies composing the committee in
charge Of the dinner and the donors of the
provisions represented many Of the churches
and every religious denominationin the city.
