the great promptness with which the fire

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The statement given out as to the eff
feet of the proposed Argentine convention
on the wool growing interest is not reas-
surlng to the growers. 1t IS either based
on incomplete information or is disingen-
uous. 1t does not give the extent of the
concession. but If a material reduction il
VIII be very injurious. 1t is a pronounced
case of special pleading in the direction of
Tree wool 1t seeks to convey the impress
sion that Argentine importations are small,
or inferior or carpet wool and not liable to
De greatly increased by reduction of duty.
IL states that the Importation of 1899 from
Argentina was only 1857, 600 pounds, but
carefully avoids saying that under the
Cleveland free wool regime about IS 600 600
pounds was imported from that country in
single year As a matter of fact that
country keeps more sheep than any other
in the world except Australasia, and that
aggregation consists of seven colonies
Free wool from Argentina is equivalent to
free wool from all the world for this
country can easily supply double the entire
United States deficit of wool. The con-
tention that those are mostly carpet woods
Is deception. Even under present high
duties on clothing and combing woods
nearly half of the imports of the present
year are clothing or merino woods
The wool growers were subjected to alb
soiute free trade under the recent t1isas-
trous experiment. and they were about the
only class SO yfctimized. Thus focks were
slaughtered. wool reduced one-fourth in
quantity and nearly one-half in value and
sheep reduced about one-haif in value, and
ruin and desolation brooded over the wool
industry
This administration cannot afford In a
presidential election year to give a million
wool-growing section another slap in the
race and eyes simply to help the trade of
few lumber kings or millionaire pork
packers. II r. DODGE
