FREB RAW MATERIAL.
Reduction or Abolition of the
Wool Tariff Demanded
By the Wool Consumers Association,
Composed Of Manufacturers.

A Memorial Addressed to the Senate Ei-
nance Committee In Which They Give
Their Reasons for Making the Demand.
Boston, June 16.-The Wool Con-
sumers' Association has sent to the Sem
ate Finance Committee at Washington
memorial in which they say: "For the
protection Of the voolen manufacture
of the country, and for its rescue from a
most hampered and depressed condition,
we ask for great reduction or the total
abolition Of the duty on WOOL" The
memorialists proceed with an elaborate
argument in favor Of this proposition,
in the course Of which they say: "a
free selection from many varieties OF
wool is essential for the manufacture of
the cloths required by the trade, and
tho exclusion Of foreign wool so inter
feres with the necessary supply OF raw
material as to reduce rather than In
crease the quantity OF American wool
used"
In conclusion the momorialists say:
"As all the wool grown in the world is
now wanted, the American grower could
hardly be injured by the readjustment
of values. II, at the worst, his product
should fall slightly in price, he would
be compensated soon by the larger and
more certain demand from the stimu-
lated and increased manufacture. The
demand for mutton is rapidly increasing
and mutton Is afforded in better quality
by sheep which produce long wool than
by the breeds producing short, fine
wool. The half-bred mutton Sleeps
wool, in the warp, works admirably
with the rejected worsted fibres and the
Montevideo feeces in the filling. Thus
the mutton focks would be stimulated
through the importation Of free raw
materials. The American consumer Of
woolens and worsteds would get better
fabrics at prices generally lower"

crowd OF curious idlers who, by their

thsm. This annoyance is so continuous
and persistent as to practically make

A Very Old Horse.

"Old Kate a horse burned to death in
Cincinnati, was, herowner alleges, 45years
old She was born in Wales of thorough
bred stock. She was shipped TO Canada in
1916, being only II yearling. The voyage
had bad effect upon her. and tine inn
porter sold the stunted colt to a farmer.
who kept her until she was years old,
when she began to grow.
The farmer sold her to Hugh Morgan, a
lumber dealer of this city, and he kept her
up to his death, in 1861. She was of jet
black at that time. and served as a car
riage horse. At Mr. Morgan's death the
mare went to Mr.. Launing, who ran a
planning mill on Canal street, He in turn
sold her to fish and oyster dealer on Linn
street, and it was of this man her last
owner bought her seven years ago. She
was then 3S years old, but lively as n kit

MILLIONS m PHOSPHATE
Capitalists Eager 20 Get Hold Of the
Carolina nenosifa.

Capitalists Eager 10 Get Hold of the
Carolina Deposits.
CIMRLlssTog 5. c., Dec There
has been considerable talk in mixing
and financial circlas for some time Of a
great deal III. phosphate lands. "A bill
was inired ced in the last general as
sembly looking to the sale Of the inter-
est Of the state in the phosphate deposits
along the coast aud in the rivers.
1t was then said that the money so
realized would be sufficient to pay the
entire state debt and still leave a good
surplus in the treasury. The state now
enjoys a royalty OF 81 ger ton on all
rocks mined from her waters. The
revenue from that source amounts at
present to more than $780, 900 per year.
Experts have calculated that the state
owns in the neighbornood Of 50,000,000
tons Of phosphate rock. Putting that
at s. per ton, which is below the price
for average rock, that means a gross
value of $780, 100000.
1t will cost $8 per ton to mine that
rock, so the expense account can be
charged up with $4,000, 600, and the
result is clear profit of $l00,000,000.
Those are tempting figures, and they
have tempted many capitalists. The
Coosaw Mining company has enjoyed
the right to mine in Coosaw now for a
number of years and has reaped hand
some haryests from the exclusive privil-
eges given by its charter. That charter
expires by limitation next spring and
the field is open again. A hard fight
will be made for the rich territory. The
time is propitious and capitalists are
bringing every conceivable influence to
bear ON the new legislature, which is a
farmers body almost entirely. The air
is full of rumors of an English syndi-
cate with fabulous wealth coming in
for the states share.
1t is well known that the MERGERS
brotherhood, who are now largely en-
gaging in mining near Beaufort, have
been in communication with English
capitalists i'll reference to some such
