GROWTH or AMERICAN WOOL

The False lAims OF high protertiontsts -
To the Wilson TArin kxposed-
The Mckinley organs are claiming
that the repeal of the duty on wool
has caused large reduction in the
number Of sheep in the United States
As proof Of their assertion they quote
from recent report of the department
of agriculture. which shows "A decline
of about 4.Oo0.o 900 sheep during the
year 1895. as compared with 1894 This
is alleged TO have been wholly due to
the Wilson tariff. and the wool grow
ers are urged TO vote for protection
and restoration Of the duty on wool
While it is true that there has been
a falling off in the number Of sheep
iuriny the past year. it IS not true
that the decrease was carsed bv the
Wilson tariff. The business depres-
sion which prevailed throughout the
country in the last two years OF the
Mckinley law was chiefly responsible
for the low prices of wool and mutton
which led to a reduction in the wooi-
growers iiocSs. The revival Of bust

The Boston Herald of April con-
tanned the following interesting letter
from Mr.. George Hriciset,. the well
known tariff writer Of Lynn. Mass:
Under the heading ''Sugar Industry
In Danger" in your paper April !. the
secretary of the Louisiana sugar and
Spice exchange is reported 10 have
stated 10 the ways and means commit
tee that Germany j. contemplating I'M
creasing the bounty given 10 exporters
of sugar. and he therefore asked that
the duty on German sugar be in.
creased.
He said: Now. bv virtue OF the in
creased bounty on that weigh; % su-
gar 500. 900 tons-our treasury would
lose l4.lO0 cents per pound. or 81 Sos
600 Our producers would lose 1900
cents per pound on some T.D,oOo.ooo
pounds. or 81. IT, oo, loss 10 the
country of s..3so.W'n
As the duty on sugar is al valorem
the loss To orr treasury OF li-iOo cents
per pound could come only by lower
price in sugar. tut such a los, 10 the
treasury j. not loss 10 the country II
not being paid into the treasury Is
evidence that the amount Is still in the
hands Of the people.
The loss 70 our producers Of ig-ioJ
cents per pound must also come from a
lower price. IL our producers ofsr-ar
were selling their production 30 foreign
countries. il would seem adv sable for
congress To do ali IN its power 10 sns-
tain the high price. but. II their pro-
duction is sold to Americans. suca n
4 condition is one that should interest
shoe makers.
II shoemalxers aud Others should buy
sugar from our producers at price
that would show IA saving OF S3..s2. o'c.
such a saving is not a loss 10 our co un-
try, as the secretary of the Louisiana
Sugar exchange declares IL would be
loss 10 su rar producers but gain
to shoemalxers. etc. and our country
would be Just as wealthy when shoe
makers distribute their own earnings
as when a portion of the earnings are
by law transferred to sugar producers
to distribute.
Sugar some day may be produced by
electric bees as ordinary bees now pro-
duce honey. in which case the Louisi-
ana Sugar exchange might ask the
committee Of ways and means to pro-
vide way for DISCRIMINATING the sugar
producing bee. 1t is apparently afraid
that the Germans are willing TO do in
part what the electric bees might do
completely. and it is quite proper that
every body should know the nature OF
the exchanges demand.
Although it may be an off year for
tariff discussion. there can be no harm
in knowing that the Louisiana sugar
exchange asks law that will prevent
our shoemakers and others from retain
ing in Their pockets one-haif a cent on
each pound of sugar they bnv- The
reason given for asking such law i
this: The sugar producers OF Louisi
ana want that half a cent.
