Poor PEOPLE are more in need of blankets
than their rich employers, for the houses OF
the latter are kept warm by furnaces during
the cold winter nights The following is
what is said by Mr.. Ayres, a large American
blanket manufacturer, in reference to the
proposal to remove the tariff tax on wool:
I'm the fret place we shall be able to
make cheaper goods. That will increase
consumption. A large consumption will
necessitaie more labor. If you have to sup
pv an Increased quantity of goods calling
for more labor, you b, n fit the workingman
in two ways. First you give him more
work, and, secondly, an even chance of bet
ter wages, because, you know, the greater
the demand for thing the higher will be its
price in the market. Wsges will GO higher
rather than lower with free wool, because
the cheaper your goods the greater the de-
mand, and the greater the demand the more
hands you must employ. and the more hands
YOU employ the sr later the general prosper

manufacturers wise enough to see that the
removal of th tax Oh raw material would
not only make the ne cessaries of life cheap
