people want free wool, first. because
there is little labor TO protect in it, pro-
duction second, because it would double
our wooden mills and double employment
in the wooden industry, third, because il
would give the whole home market to
our home mills and home labor fourth,
because it wonld cheaper wooden goods
10 consumers fully 90 per cent. without
loss to either capital or labor, and finally,
because it would add greatly to the gem

THE Wool The House, by vote of
1910 to l02, placed wool on the free list.
That was well done. The following
clear and conclusive statement ought to

The American manufacturer is engaged
in perpetual struggle with the manu-
faclurers of Europe for the possession Of
