THE FREE Wool BILL.
In making the closing argument
| Springer snid that the committee on
sand means had asked the bureau
OF statistics 10 furnish n statement,
chewing the price Of wool VI like quail.
lily Ia the United States anu Europe
during the existence Of the wool iariir,
from 1863 to this time. The bureau
referred the matter a. :. n. ID. North,
secretary " the National Association
Of Wool Manufacturers, anu special
agent " the census Office In charge OF
wool statistics. The statement fur.
nishcd made the comparison be Wcrn
Ohio medium washed wool and the
port prices Ut Australian il,eces, which
are considered Of sul siantlally the
same qualify. These prices, when
reduced 10 a gold basis, show that the
prices ut these ports, in London aud in
Boston vary little from year 10 year
20 100 except during the unusual years.
Of III and ~, In which prices were
unusually affected by speculation.
Leaving these out Of account, II Ap-
penra for the remaining twenty.lhree
years the average price OF Port Phillip
fleece was Ont-l0urth OF cent moro
than Ohio medium washed In Boston,
when Port Phillip fleece was twenty
cents n pound, and, II protection pro-
teCts, II would mako tho price Of Ohio
wool twenty cents greater. The
fact that Il ID really lower In price than
Australia Shove chat wool growers 10
not receive any increase In price by
reason OF the tnTid. The reason for
this Is that American wool manufac.
tuTers do not manufacture from Amurl-
eau wool exclusively, but mix with
foreign w0ols, cotton, shoddy and other
adulterants. AswoOl, under the opera.
ton Of tho tariff cannot be exported,
tho American wool growers are con.
fined 60 n rtltriClcd market. Under
the conditions Of manufacture foreign
aud domestic woods arc not In compe-
tition. They must be used together.
cOmplementing encli other, for the
manufacture Of wooden goods accept
able 10 this market with free wool,
the price Of these goods would be re-
duCsd To the extent OF tho tariff on
foreign wuOls used Ia their manuian-
tuTe. This decrease In price would
largely increase the manufacture and
sale OF such goods and 80 increase the
demand for American woods at manu-.
factories. In other words, choaponlng
foreign wool by n removal Of the tariff,
leneiits net only the wool grower and
wool manufacturer, but is OF advan.
tsge TO the general public, who are
consumers.
In conclusion, Springer called atleu.
ton TO the fact that tho placing Of raw |
sugar on the Tree list IN 1880 mad caused |
IN increased consumption Of sugar to |
the amount Of nearly - per cent. Ia |
1891, and snid that the passage OF the |
present bill would have similar effect |
In tho increased consumption Of wooden 4
goods, and cause the starting up nf 27l |
establishments idle during 1890, and |
would give employment to $4,000 600 \
