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.
