uiet0. says:
"While yield to noae In the belief that
exnerience. which In the end settles all
questions of theory, has demonstrated that
a reasonable tariff is the true economic
policy for the United States, still am Of
the opinion, in opposition to our present
policy, that very low tariff on wool, or
free wool. would benefit alike the msnufac-
turer aud the wool grower, and would place
DO; interests upon ftmer basis OF pros
petty. It would enable the manufacturer
to largely increase, as we'll as diversity the
production it would create larger DE-
msnd for American woods for mixing with
foreign, and increase the price to the
farmers"
Now while there lie nothing new In thla'
the fact that proteotionist believes 1t, end
Ia bold enough to express 1t, shows that the
wisdom of revenue tariff is recognized even
by some OF the leaders of its opponents; and.
as what is true Of part Ia true Of the whole,
1t also shows that reduction in, or the re-
novel OF, the tariff on sll other raw mate.
