noes PROTECTION PROTECT

a silorT time ago u wealthy wooden
manufacturer OF Philadelphia, namoi
Thomas Dolan wrote letter In the
New York World Oh tho wool question.
In that letter he said'
at IL nm interesting fact, deserving Of
ompha,is Of statement, that the prlcos OF
wool arc lower now than they were one
year ago. This decline was distinctly
promised by the protecionlsts during tho
discussion which accompanied tho fram-
ing Of tho Mckinley tariff"
Considering the fact that Mr.. Dolan
was one OF the many influential busl-
ness men who gave evidence before
the House committee on ways and
mcagsin favor OF the Mckinley bin, 1t
IL SUP fosod that he knows hat lac Is
talking about. II the wool clause Of
the Mckinley bill meant anything, II
surely meant an increase IN price for
the home producer of wool. And 1t
was 10 understood by every sheep
owner from Maine 10 Texas. The
freetradcrs In Ohio have taken
up Dolan's letter and are using
1t ns n campaign document. There
Is no dodglng the question that wool
Is cheaper than II was year ago. The
woolgr0wem know that without being
told IL. But TO tell them that such was
contemplated M one Of the benefits OF
the Mckinley bill seems lIke M at
tempt 10 pull the wool over their eyes.
Judge Lawrence, prosid ont OF the
Ohio Wool Growers Association has
written long letter TO the American
Wool and cotton Reporter, In reply to
Mr.. Dolan. The judge was also one Of
the prominent persons who paved the
way for the passage Of the Mckinley
bill. In January, 1880, before the
Ways aud Means Committee, his plea
for a tarin on foreign wool was sin
order that the farmer may make the
wool industry more profitable" He
admitted then that tho ultimate effect
OF an increased duty might be cheaper
goods for tho consumer, hut "lhe fret
eliec. would be to increase the price. /"

IL true Australian wool has fallen

cause a glut In other markets, and con-
sequent reduction In price.
