cents it says that "A cents are for the
farmer and 90 cents for the trust. but
it makes no provision that the farmer
shall receive one cent. 1t leaves the
collection and division to the trust. 1t
need not collect it unless it wishes.
After It collects it the trust may keep
the whole amount if it desires.
Why should not the trust be COM
PEELED to pay the A cents into the
treasury and let the treasury pay the
"A cents over to the farmer: Would it
not be simpler: Could there be any
doubt Of the farmers wool being pro
tected under such an arrangement:

had no sFicddy: and if onr Manufacture
eIa paid more for American wool than
the foreigner: if the American WOOL
grower did not get more for his wool
III foreign market than he could get
at home why did he export it? Did he
throw away the extra 10 cents because
he did not want it or because the Amer
lean manufacturer not only refused to
pay 1t but wanted his wool below the
foreign market price?
While we import all our carpet wool,
of which we do not raise even one
pound, we import very little clothing
and combing wool. Here are the total
importations for 1890:
TOTAL FOREIGN COST, sc. 752 1880: DUTY r.rn

~, 2G,'29 "a. AVERAGE COST TO LAND or YoeyrGN
UN"AsIED GREASY WOOL. 3'a CENTS.
The average cost to land of unwashed
greasy wool was 334 cents. of which 10
cents was duty. Average foreign price
234 cents. Ofwashed woods the foreign
price was 35.7 cents; cost to land 55.7.
What farmer got more than the foreign
price? What farmer got the cost to
land-from which freights are exclud-

Our wo0llen looms now require for
cloth yearly 1,00O.O0O.OOO pounds of
creased wool, or its equivalent in
shoddy. In 1880 they reported looms
calling for 100000 pounds. Our
highest production any year was 30s,-
100000 in 1885, declining to 27e, 900 900
in 1890. We imported foreign cloth |
last year which contained over 1911 ,0OO,-
0cO pounds of foreign grease wool, |
every yard of which might have been
made here without injury to the Amer
lean wool-grower by our manufacturers
importing the raw wool and paying the !
duty. Why did they not do it?
Our woollen manufacturers have free
wool. 1t is not necessary for s'the for
eigner to pay the duty" which is nearly
100 per cent. The duty is provided for
by Congress and levied on the American
consumer. The woolleu manufacturer
collects it from the people-44 cents
per pound on the cloth. And it is
right and proper that the tax levied on
his raw Observation-Disclosures from duties
on the imported or from the farmers
protection on the domestic-should be
returned to him. The consumer must
pay all taxes levied. 1t the manufac-
