MAY Cause 10 Reduction In Wages,

To the Editor OF the New York Herald:
1t is too early at this date TO intelli-
gently arrive at detailed estimate OF
the operations OF the present tariff the
woolen schedule having gone into effect
only on January list. IS tho nearest ap-
proach Of any governing principle In the
formation OF the present tariff II To the
principle OF protection. and az this prin-
cipie was counter 10 the platform OF the
party which framed II. the result was
naturally not a protective tariH, showing
the marks Of that wisdom and coherency
which sprang from the influence of some
fixed principle. but, instead, a protective
tariff tempered with by It's enemies.
The Inevitable result OF this condition
has manifested itself in the inequalities
of the present tariff. II IL safe. however.
TO conclude that those American manu-
facturers affected by these inequalities
will not close their factories. but, n0t-
wlthstanding. will continue 10 run and
meet the new conditions In various ways.
principally. however, by the unfortunate
necessity Of reducing the wages of the
laborer. The operation Of the above Will
In my opinion, be 10 materially curtaii
wages In some quarters. but 10 fail 10
materially accelerate importsti0ns.

GREAT LOADING OF WooLLENs.
Effect OF the New Tariff Law-Prices
should Go Down.

NEW YORK. January 4.-Importers OF
woollen goods and their agents have filled
the custom-house during the past two
days on account OF the reduced tariff on
woollens. The reduced wool schedule Of
the Wilson tariff law went into effect
January LIST. although most Of the measure
went into effect the latter part Of August.
1894 The receipts on Wednesday were
the largest In the history OF the custom
house, the total duties collected being
81 ,G29. l5j42. of which about sl.091.6j6 was
for woollens. The number OF packages OF
woollens taken out OF bond yesterday was
about 1909 on December |. 1894. there
was In local bonded warehouses in wool
lens sl,322.GlS worth OF cloth, si.726. iH
worth of dress goods. 1885 worth OF
clothing. s36597 worth OF knit goods. and
$500 worth OF miscellaneous woollen
fabrics.
The unloading Of this vast quantity of
imported wOollens on the home market
has been looked forward to with much
anxiety by American manufacturers. 1t
Is pretty generally believed, however.
that the general effect will not be known
for two or three weeks. when the goods
from abroad reach the hands OF retailers.
