THE. TARIFF ON WOOL.

In our material progress as nation
the manufacture of goods wholly or in
part Of wool has grown to be of vast i'm
portance, and our manufacturers have
become 50. numerous they are COM
PEELED to- look to less favored nations for
customers for their surplus. They are
thus brought into competition with
England, one of the greatest manu-
featuring nations. of the world. The
English manufacturer gets his wool
from the cheap wool-growing countries
of the: world free of tariff duty. The
American manufacturer has to pay so
heavy a tax ON raw wool that it COM
pletely wipes out all possible profit in
the worlds markets. Take the tariff
tax off imported wool, so that the
American manufacturer can get the raw
wool as cheaply as the English manu-
facturer, and our mills would start up
and give employment to large numbers
of workers, who would then become
more liberal consumers of food pro-
ducts. Then, too, the American manu-
facturer would require larger amounts
OF home grown wool to mix with foreign
woods, and thus enlarge the home mar
ket for home grown wool. Give our
manufacturers all their raw materials
free of tariff tax and it will enable them
to successfully compete with the manu-
facturers of any and all other nations,
both in our home market and in the
markets of the world. This would re-
suit in. a large increase of our manu-
featuring establishments, give employ
ment to thousands and thousands of
workers, and enable them to become
regular and generous consumers of food
products. ~
The Wool TARIFF FAILS TO BENEFIT
THE Wool GROWER.
President Cleveland in his message to
Congress shows that if the price of home
grown wool is enhanced the full amount
OF the tariff levied On imported wool,
American wool growers would receive
on an average but thirty-six dollars year
| ly bounty, and this would be paid out
again blythe wool grower when he came
to purchase clothes for himself and
family in the enhanced price caused by
the tariff on wool, and its necessary
corollary, the tariff on manufactured
goods. But in fact the wool grower
does not receive this much bounty; his
wool is not enhanced ten cents pei
pound by the tariff. 1t is difficult te
determine exactly the influence thu
tariff has on prices. From 1866 to 1885,
the price Of home grown wool steadily
declined, while the tariff remained tn,
same. In 1883 the ad ualoren duty wa
taken off wool, which was equivalent t
La reduction Of two cents per pound
Since then the tariff has remained I'm
changed, but the price has steadily de
clined.,
1 A favorite argument for protection, 81
called, is that the ultimate and intende'
effect of the tariff is to lower our price
to the level of the foreign product in it
own home. That is about the presen
t condition of the market of our hom
E grown wool. Now if the price OF GU
/, wool is SO low there is no profit j
e growing it, and the effect of the tariff
! to lower prices, why not do as the Pres
/. dent recommends and put wool on Oh

wool we do not produce, and these
woods must be bought in countries
that produce Them And one fact
ID .selfevident our manufacturers
must get these woods as cheap as the
foreign manufacturers to be able to COM
pete with them in the markets of the
world. Free wool will promote our
manufacturing interests, create larger
home market for farm products, add to
the nations prosperity, and this will
largely be shared by the farmers.

IS. III. Hurst, has made, an investigation
of the Baking Powders sold in this state,
the analysis being made by Prof. II. A.
Weber, State Chemist, and from the re-

The Commissioner says, The best
Baking Powder is, of course, that in
which (the ingredients being healthful)
the largest amount of carbonic acid gas
is generated to the spoonful of powder,
and the least amount and least hurtful
character of the resultant salt remains
in the bread"
Thirty brands were examined, and
we give below the names of the twelve

DEAR Mr.. CHESTER.
In regard to your Cure, can say that
/ think it an excellent preparation. l
have used it and have come much in
contact with it's use. The best estimate
of it's intrinsic worth is to be drawn
from the fact that the sales increase
steadily with little or no advertising.
One person recommends it to another,
and its sale is based, in my opinion,
more upon it's worth as a remedy than
upon the results of public advertising
done in the past. Yours truly,
