This years clip is the smallest with one
exception for any year since 1881. OF
course this vindictive tariff reform" legis-
lation has fallen with especial severity, as
it was intended that it should, upon New
England. Maine and Vermont, both i'm
portant wool growing states, have seriously
suffered. So have New York, Pennsylva-
mia, Ohio and Michigan-indeed, all the
Western wool growing region, save that
where the ranching system predominates.
Free woor' has struck its deadliest blow
at the small, independent farmer, and made
it still more difficult for him to earn live
lihood, while it has not appreciably checked
the development of the great hocks of the
sheep kings of Arizona, Idaho, Montana
and New Mexico. These magnates, own
ing immense tracts of land and hiring the
cheapest of labor, are naturally least dis
turbed by the increasing fierceness of for
eign competition. Free woor therefore is
operating TO benefit the great mOnopolists
on both sides of the sea, at the expense of
the hard-working owners of small hOcks
and modest homesteads.
While the wool product of the United
States has fallen of 0,OOO, 900 pounds, the
sales of foreign wool in Boston have in
creased 81, 900 600 pounds. These signif-
can't figures tell the whole story.
