soPH1srR1Es OF SPECTATORS.

Wool spectators are making all the
capital possible over the scare on the
tariff. Why? So they can clean up
thousands of dollars of profit, when the
scare subsidies. If they are not here to
buy wool what are they here for? They
are well prepared with sophistries to
to show that wool is going down, derry
down, and will continue to go down, un-
til, in competition with Australia they
will sink to nearly nothing. There are
too many woolgrowers tn the United
States to allow anything disastrous to
happen, and they will send up such a
howl as will shake the foundations of
Washington before they are deliberately
impoverished at one fell stroke at the
hands of the administration. While
wool growers are now depressed over the
kinds of efforts will be made on the part
of speculators to enhance this de-
preston, and the more they can de-
press the greater will be their profits.
The Dalles has always been a field
of the keenest competition and, in
truth, there has been up to this time
but little in it for the speculator, and
this scare is but new method to ex-
tract profit. While the market is less
in Boston today for Australian wool
than it is in London, there is little
fear that this wool will crowd us,
even under the conditions of a free
market. But even these conditions can
not be realized until year after the
new law will go into effect, which can
hardly be formulated within a year.
Meanwhile wool must be bought. man
ufactured and used, and whatever the
future value will be, just now this must
be considered as fictitious. Beware of
selling on falling market. America
and American manufacturers will not
suffer the ruination of such an industry,
whatever party is in power.
