Cavrag Haun, PA, THURS, JAN. 25 THE TARIFF AND PRICE OF WOOL. It is argued by protectionists that free wool will ruin the wool industry in the United States and thal farmers will suffer loss upon their sheep and wool. To prepare the readers of the Reporter to meet this argument, we will furnish a few facts. If you will consult the census reports you will find the number of sheep has fallen off duringfthelyears of the high tariff on wool—protection did not help sheep raising. During the period of low tariff on wool the number of sheep was far greater than under protection. This would go to show that the cry that free wool under the Wilson bill will bring about ruin, is all bosh. Now as to the prices of wool under low tariffs and high tariffs, let the facts decide : An examination of the prices of wool at Boston the controlling market of the United (States, will show that the best average prices were obtained when wool was practically free of du- ty. of 30 per cent., but the tariff fact of | South America, Australia, Cape of Good hope free. list, and it there remained until after the war. a pound in the Boston market, and af- ter duties were removed the ranged as follows : 1857 . 60 cents. 1858 , ‘55 cents. 1850 . | 60 cents. 1860 . . 60 cents, 1861: , 47 cents, 762 . 57 cents. These were the best prices ever known in the United States, and wool was then virtually on the free list, In 1867, when wool commanded 61 1863 2.1864 =, 1865 ; 1866 A867] 70 cis. 75 cts. .
