The Herald Republican has great difficulty these times
trying explain the wool growers the trouble with
the wool market growers disgusted and dis
couaged the low for wool where they expected high
prices and at the apparent going back upon them by ne
friends the manufacturers The wool growers stood In with
the manufacturers strenuousy order to retain the
Dngey tariff the wool schedule Those rates We're

the purpose of controlling the prices OF wool Along toward
the however they began to form their combine for the
purpose of controlling the prices of WOOL For two seasons
past this combine operation and the wool growers were
obliged their interests provide for the storage OF
their until better prices could be obtained Those better
prices obtained last when the wool manufacturers
let up on their combine get the cooperation of the

of the wool market They don't need to pay any
than they wish to for wool They openly that
they want their material at "a fair figure They
able to keep that figure at standard which they themselves
fix 1t is not this however according to the Herald that
fixes the price of wool It is because there
people at large and in the newspapers against the bunko
tariff law Such sapience this is worthy of Howlspege
of the Middle Ages the jester and fooman of the miracle
play stage One must really be put very hard
to take with silly subterfuge like that But there
doubt the world that the stand paers hard put
to for things they under the breaking
monopoly-serving tariff bill which they passed
