1Aa year (lS9o) We imported wooden
goods which required to mako over GOO. :
1000 pounds Of grease wool. The total
amount Of raw wool which our manu-
lecturers had was less than 800. 900. 600
pounds. counting both that which was
imported for cloth and that which was
produced in this country. Our total
wool clip has never amounted Ito more
than one-half Of that which we imported
IN tho manufactured cloth.
Il = natural that our woollen manufac-
tuners. who ars barred from importing
their raw material by tariff duty Of 56
cents upon the raw material entering into
pound Of cloth. should begin to sec that
their interests lie in the direction OF free
wool. Very many Of tho New England
woollen manufacturers are grnmbling at
tho protection which compels them to 20
without tho raw material and see the
cloth market supplied by the American
farmer through an exchange with for
eign manufacturers. They arc asking
themselves Why they should not have the
home market" tor woollen cloth, and
they cannot 80 any other way OF getting
b than By removing tho tax on their raw
material.
The Home Market Club. Of Boston, tho
special union Of the protected manufac-
tuners Of New England, has undertaken
10 convert these recalcitrant manufac-
turers from tho errors Of their ways. It
understands thoroughly that the tariff on
NV wool has bought for them the Repub-
lican farming vote Of this country. Il
understands thoroughly that TO put wool
on tho free list is to kill tho Republican
party-even Iii Vermont.
Il hes issued . pamphlet Of thirty-two
pages directed especially to the wool
manufacturers Of this country. entitled
Protection Of Wool-From the Stand
point OF the Manufacturer. The first
part u N address delivered IN February

protection Of wool, and tho book closes

tells him IN 30 many plain words that
the present tariff on wool IL . green-goodi
game played upon tho American farmer
to swindle him ont OF his vote in
favor Of protection. Il goes FUR
ther than this II proves to these manu-
facturers-by giving tnsm the figures
that tho price Of wool In this country
for tho past ton years has bean from

lower than ~ has ever abroad.

have sold his wool from ono cent 70
