We wish also to call attention to the fact

to explain with great defniteness that the
figures in Mr. Childss Grindstone circular
are the highest prices which wool brought
in the different years, and that they are no

having applied first to the World Office, we

which especially sought to refute our charge
made in an article of earlier date, and af-
terward reafiirmed, that the wool figures
contained in the notorious "Grindstone cir
culars' were false, deliberately intended to
deceive, destitute of any discernibe basis
of authority or consistency and apparent

article We quoted figures from the "Ameri-

FROM tht kIOFulti uI Dec. u, lNNS
There has been SO much discussion about the
wool figures in the "grndstone circulars" and
lately the statements IN certain quarters have
gone so far beyond the limits of manly political
controversy, into epthets Of neighborhoOd indie
crncy, that It is perhaps worth while to uncover
the misrepresentation both Innocent and vindic-
tive, that have been made
W. II. Childs, chairman. Of the Democratic.
county committee, was the author Of this pam
phlet, which is recognized to he one of the best
gut-up bits of campaign literature that have APP
prared IN this country. The wool figures he took
from the New York World of Monday. Jan ID
lSSS, aud they wer" gwen, as they prove to be- as
a record of sales in the Boston market. In the
latter part Of the Vermont campaign the charge
was made that the figures were incorrect The
Republican stump speakers read from SpOiford 5
Almanac entirely different figures, representing
the price to have been in ISL ~ 10 s. cents instead
uf 90; in 1881 rs to 81 instead Of 1O in l}j - To
~ instead of Is; in $50 ~ to IS instead Of ju in
lSi5 81 To ~ instead Of ~ in $50 3oto 81 instead
of u; IN lNl, ~ to 81 instead Of -; 1861 -
- instead Of 90 in 1865, - 10 - instead Of 49, in
lSiO, - to - instead of Sand So on with great
variation all the way through
A local paper, having got this meagre infurma-
ton, aud measuring Mr.. Chds by its own stand
ard, charged that he had set up these figures out
of whole CLOTH and has reiterated the charge
over and over again, with accusations Of "unsCrr
puluuS work. etc, 10 an extent that was simply
outrageous.
The Reformer explained at the time, as a mat
ter OF Justice and good understanding all around,
that Mr. Chllds 5 figures were undoubtedly correct
for what they purported to be-he highest price
,rOoi brought IN The Inherent yedrs and that the
apparent discrepancy was caused by the fact that
fine woods brought very high prices in the early
days, but they should not be iHderstOOd To be- az
erdge prices Still, The Phoenix, in the limitess
eXpanse of its ignorance, kept insisting that no
such prices as given by the circular were ever
known, and persisted in its calling of names.
Instead Of the Spofford figures or any
thing like them coming from the treasury records

FIGURES THAT Do NOT LIE.



Special to the World.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 1, 1873 Columbus Deano,
tx Secretary Of the Interior and Chairman u the
Republican Annex, known as the National Wool
Growers Association, as heretofore reported, has
sent out an appeal from this city urging the
farmers and flock masters Of the country to
unite against reduction Of tax burdens, and tell
ing them that the slight reduction ON wool made in
1883 has wellnigh destroyed the wool industry Of
the country and put prices at figure ruinously
low He insists ON "A restoration Of the tariff Of
1861 as the only thing that will restore prices aud
stimulate production This appeal was framed
in the Neil House. in this city by MIR. Delanu and
George L. Converse, the gentleman on whose mo-
ton the enactng clause of the Morrison bill was
stricken out and for hich act his constituents
tired him 10 private life with rare unanmty, This
appeal" is one of the prcliminaries to Mr..
Delano's candidacy for Congress next year on the
Republican ticket
The best possible answer to this misleading docu-
ment is to take the average price of wool at Bus-
ton. the controlling wool market Of the United
States, for a series of years. The following fig
