Total loss to the wool industry 1855, ,OOO, 900
If wool be placed on the free list, our
wooden manufacturers will obtain their
raw material twenty-five million dollars
less than they now do under protection.
Will the people of the United States get
the full benefit Of this sum in the cheap
ening of their woolen goods? We think
not but at least one-half of this amount
will go to the manufacturers and mer-
chants in the way Of increased profits,
and this small sum Of twenty.fi million
dollars is all the saving which the man
ufacturers and people can possibly make
10 offset the enormous shrinkage enum.
Grated above.
Very few carpet woods are grown in
the United States, and as their low value
makes it rather improbable to raise
them, no great harm would be done If
they were placed on the free list.
We are now growing in the United
States nearly full supply of the finer
sorts of WOOL and only require to import
about thirty.three million pounds to
give us full supply. Continue protect
ion for few years and we shall raise all
the wool we require, carpet woods ex.
cepted.
The importation of worsted goods at
the present low and unjust rate of duty
has inflicted a very serious loss on manu-
facturers of this class of goods. This
should be corrected, and worsted should
be made to pay the same as woolens.
The admission of ring, thread, rowing
and slubbing waste under duty of ten
cents per pound, has most serious loss
to the owners of woods, for every pound
of this &c. o.called waste takes the place Of
a pound of fine secured wool, and the
extensive use Of it is the principal cause
of the large quantity of Territory, Califor.
MIA and Texas wool now remaining
unsold on the markets. It should have a
duty laid upon it the same as secured
wool (which it virtually isy of 80 cents
per pound.
These two great companion industries,
the growing of wool and the manufact.
uring Of woollen goods, are inseparable
and should be protected equally; the
manufacturer to the extent of the differ
ence in the cost of manufacturing in
Europe as compared with that of Ameri'
ca, and the wool.growers to the extent
of the difference in the cost of raising
wool in other countries and that of rails.
ing it in the United States, where land,
labor and living are so much higher.
Competent judges claim that the esti-
mates of loss given above might be in.
creased one hundred million dollars
without aggregating facts.
Respectfully submitted,

HE THOUGHT HARD.

A Mathematical Problem Solved After
Considerable Thinking.
The old-time colored man, whose
recollection of the days of bondage is
still reasonably clear, and whose
dreams are often tinctured with sights
of the "big house" and the wide plan
tation with its snowy cotton-fields, is
not rapid thinker. This is due to
