TARIFF CONTORTIONISTS.
| The Free Wool Question Gives Them Many
an Twist American Wool In London.
The statistical jugglers are driven to
contortions of logic in
keeping up their wail about wool. They
have been viewing with alarm the im
portations of foreign wool, which they
regurded as destructive to the domestio
producers. And now they are compelled
to view with alarm the exportation of
domestic wool and to prove that also

To make their task still more difficult,
ft has been necessary for them to main-
tain that while all these importations of
wool were going on our woolen manu

As a matter of fact, there are plenty
of pirates extant, although they are sel

and eastern waters swarm with
ingly commercial junks and
which wear all the air of respectability,
but are none the less on a constant watch
for becalmed traders and cargo ships un-
dermanned. In the Formosa channel the
outward and ard bound passen
gers will see apparently innocent vessels
leisurely drifting in pairs before the
wind. They drag between them a huge
