consumption Of wool in this industry has grown
from So to more than 400 million pounds gam
of 365 per cent while the gain in population has
been 96 per cent. The consumption of wool III
the manufacture in 1860 was 276 pounds per

the Bureau OF Statistics, more than One-1fth Oh
all the wool consumed in the world was man

in 1860 before the protective tariff had been en-
acted. this country manufactured less than one

Better fifty years OF Europe than cycle Of
Cathay' no doubt, but facts prove that one
| years growth in America is worth five years in
Greet Britain. Is the explanation found in CAPT
tai skill? Great Britain would like nothing
better than chance to destroy our entire manu-
facture in two years Of unrestraned free trade.
Is il claimed that our climate is not adapted TO
wool-growing? Look at the record Of production
In the two countries the United States has added
in ten years ending with $50 pounds of
wool produced than all the sheep of Great Britain
now yield. and that country raises less wool now
than it did thirty years ago. or twenty years ago.
or ten years ago. British free trade has destroyed
British wool growing much the American wool
grower can see, if he knows as much as the sheep
he shears.
Now 20 the manufacture 1t grew during
war. when an abnormal demand for wool
existed 1t grew during our era Of imitation. when
high prices opened cur doors TO British
imports. In 1873 it reached a con-
sumption Of over 359OOO.0O0 pounds, and
imperfect statements OF stocks on hand at least
make IL certain that decrease OF several mill
lion pounds occurred in that year. swelling the
British consumption beyond the figures given
But In ten years, from 1873 to 1882, while this
country protected It's industry, British produc-
zion ana BrltlSn consumption oil WOOL DOtn de-
cned The grower raised 36.OOO,0O0 pounds
less wool The manufacturer worked up 81 ,000,-
900 pounds less wool into goods.
That is what free trade does for Great Britain
when this country has the sense to defend its
industry. In 1888 the Reforners punched holes
in tariff and instantly. that very year, British
manufacture increased 22OOO,OO0 pounds, and
in the next year 100000 more. and In 1886
over 100000 more British wool growing
has not life enough left under free trade to make
q fight, but American folly gave even the corpse
of wool growing in Great Britain galvanie
shock. and it jumped up for three years.
This record makes thing clear The tariff

tected home industry. The Tariff Reform o.
1888 also did what some Reformers meant il to
do; it protected British industry. But the state
