Any lingering doubts on this questiou will be quickly dispelled, if one will take the pains to read the message to congress by Presidents Fillmore and Buchanan. By them it appears that under the Walker tariff, manufactures haij been works abandoned and thousands of skilled laborers had lost employ- ment. To day, England is avast storehouse. Her warehouses and manufactories are filled with goods of every description waiting a foreign market.

In Australia, Russia and South America, the great pasture lands have been brought into use and millions of capital invested in this great industry. Compared with values in the United Stales, the prices of labor and lands are nominal, and the foreign wool grower can lay his fleeces down for exportation at a cost which, including the low rates of carriage, defies the competition of the farmer and sheep raiser here. Let us see how sensitive this industry is and how it responds to the prescription of the tariff doctor. In 1867 there were 25,000,0 00 sheep in the country, under a tariff then imposed, equivalent to 45.11 per cent, ad valorem-- in sixteen years the number of sheep increased to 50,000,000; a reduction of duty in 1SS3 of only 5 or 6 per cent, ad valorem resulted in decreasN.
