thrown in the faaee of the democrats democrat a as be inga great blunder in taking the tariff off raw wool the object of a tariff 4 is unsettled as yet by the sti statesmen of this coun country try some claim it should be for the purpose of bf excluding all foreign campeti tion to american manufacturers and hence should be so high as to exclude clude their goods from our mar bets some daira claim it should be for protection to such industries as are just stir starting ting and have not as yet let sufficient permanency to compete with those of other countries such as are termed infant industries others want the tariff kept high r under the delusion that it will thereby afford higler higher wages to the laboring man in iii this country and others believe the tariff laws should be exacted for the purpose of raising the revenues of the government only imly in a allaer all our transactions in life we ure bare sp apt tobe to be more or less lea selfish delfis h anik and seek

and all fabrics where a loag wool can be mingled with our domestic wool thus by admitting it free of duty duly we enable our manufacturers to produce a cheaper and better article abide and at the same time pay a better price for home grown wool for if they did aid not have this advantage ethey they would have to cut down the price bof of domestic wool in order to compete with other the reason that the tariff added to the raw wool imported would largely increase the cost of the fabric the contention of the democratic party has always been that admitting yaw taw wool free of duty would not only give us better and cheaper woolen goods hut but also increase the price of the domestic article to the producer A fair and honest consideration of t this his a subject abject will prove beyond doubt that this claim is corro correct ep it has been urged by i a uv few rabid protectionists projectionists and shortsighted short sighted wool growers that the passage of the wilson bill making wool free has reduced the price of wool in this country let ua see the price of wool has been steadily deer pasing ever since 1881 in all i the markets of the world take for a standard the fine ohio faw fleece

during the last two years over that of the year pe receding ceding when we had the highest protective prote clAve duty on wool ever known in this country while it is true that the price of wool has gone up in this country under free wool it is also true that the woolen mills have never been so prosperous as they are today those which were shut down are today running on their full capacity the official reports rt show that we consume consumed din in 1895 J pounds of wool more than was ever consumed irl in the most prosperous wool year in the history of this country this immense increase all went into the factories i aud and was as used by the people of the united states at even a less price than they were compelled to pay una under erthe the mckinley tariff thus under free wool the people get better prices for their wool better quality of goods and cheaper goods akan under the protective system it hasteen has been suggested that under the wilson bill the sheep owners have been

sophistry of the politicians to pull the wool over the eyes of the unthinking sheep raiser we honestly believe that free wool is to the advantage of we the sheep raiser as well as to all classes the declined decline of prices in wool as well as an on all other products of the field is due ane to the main tai nence of the single gold standard more than to any tariff laws the sooner the people of utah get their eyes opened to the cold cohl facts the sooner we will have a period of settled prosperity at let the tariff alone for the present and especially on wool adalet all persistently urge a return to the use of the money of our forefathers and aad we will need no tariff on wool any more than we do on potatoes FILLMORE millard county utah february 1896 julius F taylor esq sali salt lake
