know1ng it to ':e "A hlurder, you sub

IL, to the satisfac, ion of vii pers,ns
who are iutert sted In knowing the

"By reason Of the tariff on wool, the
American wool product sells in Boston
market Ut u price from Is to IS cents
per pound higher than similar quali~
ttes of Australian wool briug in the
London market, the price III both cas-
es being calculated upon the market
value of secured pound of wool.
This fact Is 10 we'll known to wool
dealers and wool manufacturers, that
anu unable to account for your per-
sistent iteration OF contrary slnte~
ment, except in the manner above
suggested. I therefore invite you to
address letters Of inquiry 10 \ number
OF wool dealere, familiar with Austral~
ian and domestic woolr, asking each
Of them IT, inform you Of the facts. If
you are not familiar with their ADJ
dresses I will be glad to furnish you a
list of all the prominent wnol dealers
of the country, Democrats aud Repub~
ltcans. ali of whom will tell you, upon
inquiry, that the market price Of do
nlestic wool is higher, thrinkage and
general condition considered, by near
ly or quite the amount Of the duty,
THAI the London prices of correspoud~
iuK Australian woolt. There can be
no issue either of veracity or opinion
on such u question; 1t Is a OUT *stion o1
fact within the daily knowledge ol
hundreds OF business men familia.
with I'll The details Of which you are
necessarily ignorant. II you are mol
willing to submit the question to the
test of practical knowledge aud expe.
rience you should at least abandon
your efforts to propagate false im'
preston among those engaged In the
industry Of wool growing. Very truly
