From a few spots which ap peared at that time, It gradually spread so ss to eorer his entire body. I assure you he was terribly afflicted, and an objoet of pity, when he beg-in naing JTOST awdtstsa. Now, there are few men of hut age who enjoy as good health as be ass. 1 could easily name fifty persons who would testify to the facts In his ease. Yours truly, W. M. Phillips." FROM THE FATHER: "It Is both a pleasure and a duty for me to state to you the benefit I bare derived from the use of Ayer s Sarsaparilla. Six months agoI was completely covered with a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. The humor caused an Incessant snd Intolerable itching, and the skin cracked so as to cause the blood to flow in many places whenever I moved. My sufferings were great, and my life a burden. 1 commenced the use of the Saks A.PARILLA in April last, and hare used it regularly since that time. My condition began to Improve at onee. The sores hare all healed, and I feel perfectly well in every respect being now able to do a good day's work, although 73 years of ago. Many lnqulro what has wrought suoh a cure in my case, and I tell them, as I have here tried to tell you, Ayer's Sabsapabilla. Glover, Vt., Oct. 21, 1882. Yours gratefully, Hiram Phillips."

George, our Repress utive in Congress, that they use every possi ble effort to restore the tariff oa foreign wools to the rates which were maintain ed previous to the last sesiion of Con gress. Speaking for myself, I recognise to the fullest extent the right of every person, olsss and interest in the Stat ef Oregon to present to their Senators and Representatives their claims end desires and to have them fairly consid ered in connection with legislation sf- -e X m ... I lecting me earns, nut I am not willing to subordinate my own judgement end convictions of what is proper and right- fui legislstion in any given eaee even at the "demand" of special interests however greet or important eueb inter- eata may be. To do so would be blind subserving to class interest sod de- ""d The Wool-growers' Convention, in the abate reaouttton, do not ssk to bete the matter of restoring the former rates of tariff on foreign wools considered in connection with the interests of other cJssses, suoh ss tbe man ufaetu rare of wool and the consumers of woolen fab- rios and in connection with the general demand for revenue reform, with a view to their restoration, if compatible with public interest, but the demand is peremptory and without any conaidera- tion of tbe affect such restoration may have upon the manufacturing industries of the country or of the increased bur- 1 thens which may thereby be imposed upon the great body of the people who to t net eaee the value of bis wool pro consume tbe manufactures of wool. duct three coots s pound ; it mesne tbe Doubtless the theory of the con von- tion was that high rates of doty upon foreign woofs serve to keep np the i prico of tbe domestic product, end thai ury, for it merely represents the en the recent decline in tbe price of do- aanosmeat ia value of the home product raeetic wool is to bs attributed to the late reduction of the rates of duty upon tbe foreign srtiote snd taking this view of tbe situation the wool growers of I Eastern Oregon "demand," that is the word, that their Senators and Reprasen- tat ires shall "use every effort possible" to restore their tsriff rates on foreign wools, to the ead of course, that they msy procure a better price for their product. No matter if such restoration retriots the manufacture of wool aod increases tbe cost of tbe manufactured product to the great body of consumers, Tbe logic of tbe demsnd is restore these rates that tbe wool grower may pat money in bis pocket. Verily, ths mo nopolisis of this country are not con fin- ed to great railroad corporations I What is tbe difference in principle in a demsnd for legislation whereby the wool growers msy mskegetn and pros- per in tffeir special business by impos- iog burthens upon all other olasses and the demand of tbe railroad corporations that there shall bo no legislation at all respecting (ares and freights, to the ead that tbey may continue to exant exor- bitsnt rates for the transportation of every bushel of grain, every pound of octton or other kinds of freight the farmers snd merchants may need to transport 1 If there is any difference in principle I am unable to see tt. To carry on the government requires revenue ; to obtain it, among other methods import duties have been levi- ed. Among the articles of foreign im- portations upon xbich such duties have been imposed is foreign wool, which, since 1824, hss been subjected to vary- log rates of duty ,al ways expecting from 1846 to 1864, of a very highly protec tive character. Within tbe past few years the gov- ernment hss found itself in the receipt of a very large surplus of revenue ; greetly more thau the need or tne gov- ernment requires. So that the queation has not been how to cret revenue, but how to deorese it and lift the burthen of taxation from tbe shoulders of the people. The last Congress psssed a new tariff act and reduced tbs tariff unon foreisn wools about three oenta a pound upon clothing aad combing wools, leaving esrpet wools without a change. This change was made in obedience to the almost universal de- mand for a reform io ths tariff legiala- tion of the country and for a reduction of revenue. Tbe rates u the woolen and iron scbedoles were the ones against which tbe most general complaint waa made, tbe justice of which complaints will be seen when it is stated, that by the report of the Bureau of Statistics for 1883, tbs tariff rates under tbe former law was as follows on wools and wool- I o ens imported during that year 2 Oa No.l olotbiog wools,average,60.28 9 Mnaabintr II ei.2i " " 3 earpet m " earaeU and carpeting " endless balls or felts " hats " balaioraja II II II l II U M M $4 si 87.84 " 53.80 " 73.03 " 57.63 " 80.82 " 107.44 ' 86.17 93.64 " 52.41 ' 56 01 41 i it i M BJ II 4 II blaaltste, coarse, blankets ef all grades boiaary, coarse, Hosiery of all grssies Btrta and drawers dry goodifWomsn, children, 68.74 " nsnaels, average 74.10 " webbings, beltings, 67.87 " .

As the prices ad vance the per cent falls and as the prices decline the per cent rises, Coincident with the reduction in the tsriff rates on foreign wools there eeme a decline in the prices ef the domestic gxtiola aw inft wool growers sttiibut- Ug this decline to this reduction, are diseaUsfied end demand a reetortatioa oft6 (tes. It is safe to say that not over one in fifty at the entire popula- tion of ths country is interested In wool growing. If this duty Is restored where is the burthen to fall t MenU Mt open the consumers of woolen fabrics In this country for the inoreaee mast be sdded to the manufactured product aid we export neither the raw material nor tbe manufactures of wool to any appreciable extent. The hems product of 1883 may be saftly put down st 300,000,000 pounds, which Is almost wholly classed as clothing and combing wools, for wa produce bat very little of carpet wools. Then tbe -ire position of these rates means, to iucrrsss the burthens of the conaumrrs of woolen fabrics in this country to the extent of 19,000,000, which is U be put into the wool grower's puree by so legislating as taxing of forty-nine persons for the benefit of ana. Not one duller of this $9,000,000 goes tato ths people's treas- by reason of tbe increase of that muob tariff upon a like foreign article. Tbie increase, upon the basis of the importa- tioos of 1 883, would afford a revenue of about $295,000 to tba treasury. In other words, they ask tba legislators of tbe eouotty to restore these rates, that ia getting one dollar into tbe trees ury they, the wool-growers of the eouo- try, can get twenty-six. dollars into their own pockets taken from the peo- pie who consume woolen fabrics. Bnt tbe country does not need this revenue; it has more revenue than it wants. Statesman are racking their brains to devise some way to dry np the sources of revenue ins lead ef increasing th It is not enough for tbe wool-growers 0f Eastern Oregon that .Uncle 8am furnishes thsm with free pasture, they want him to tax tbe rsst ef his children for their benefit. The growers of wheat corn, cotton, cattle and hogs, who most sell their surplus products in en open foreign market, in competition with all ike woi ld,censome largely of the menu fact urea of wool and in my judgment have some interest in tbie question which ought to be considered by their Senators and Representatives before restoring thess rates. It has been demonstrated over and 0vsr again from the statistics of wool prioee in tbie country, oovering a period 0f many years, during which time wool hM subjected to varying duties, .onetimes practically prohibiting, at times letting in the lower grades entirely free, with a moderate duty up- on the highor And firmer grades, that the domestic product has always borne piie8g under lofr tsriff or when woo, WM frM thtn doring p,, 0 high duties. This fset has been reiter- b thU O01intry aQa elsewhere mnJ tirae by pnblUhers ol the highest character. The UtJ MmmUdtm of customs in a special report, m tne te congress in .. . 1 1869, says upon this point, "it is a faot, which cannot he ignored or controver ted, that tbe periods whsn the Ameri can wool grower has received the high est price in gold fir his wool, have been coincident with the periods when imported wools have been subjected to thfl j0W8it duties." In speaking of the removal of the duties ea wools in gnat Britain and the protoit of the wooi growers there made, asserting that (fta w00j growing interests of England woui destroyed, he says : "No guoh result followed ; but, or the coa- trary, from that day to this the amount 0f w00 grown, manufactured, explored And consumed in Great Britain, has annuaUy increased, and with groat progt to all who were either directly or indirectly interested f and, again, the j commissioner says, "that the experiejue of France is alto to the seme effect ss shown In a recent report by Mr. Baud rillerd to tbe emperor of the French on this subject, in which It is proved that whsn tbe duty on woe) was reduoed from thirty-three to twenty-two ir cent., ad valorem, the price of wool increased and was maintained at from six to eight per sent, above tbe former rates." And tbe explanation given by M. Bsudrillard is significant and to tbs point. He eaye : "Tbe borne produot is not sufficient for tbe dsily increasing wants of our industry. Every check thrown io the wsy of ths latter affects its activity. As soon ss manufacturers cannot procure foreign wools they de crease their production, because tbey cannot find at borne tbe required quali ties ; and French wool, which tbey would have aaad to mix ia Ilea about in tbe msrkst. The ststsstisal tables of England lead exactly to the easaa conclusions high duty, low wool at heme, moderate duty or free wool; prices good at home." Mr. George William Bond, of Boston, a protectionist and a Republican in polities, who is a leading authority ia lbs United States upon all questions relating to wool whether as to varieties, prices, supply or demsnd, ia a letter addressed to Mr. A. M. Gsiisnd, of Springfield, III , late president of tbe American wool growers association, bearing date May 14, 1883, ssys on this point : Our fine wools have slwsys bean higher, other things being equsl, when we were able freely to im port the wools of other countries at a low duty, or at no duty st all. When the tsriff of 1857 was passed fine wools became virtually free, so tbst we weot into fell or nearly full core petit ion with Europe. Whet wse ths effect t Wools advanced Immediately in tbe markets of production sbread twenty-five to tbirtytbree end s half per cent., so that we got them no cheaper than be fore, and the prices of domestic wools advanced. Now this was an a l vantage to our manufacturers, as it snbsnead tbe oost to ths foreign manufacturers, so tbst ours could well afford to pay tbs advanced prices. Reduced to gold, the average prioee of wool have been ower under tbe tariff of 1867 thto they were under that of 1857. In 1879 wools declined so mncb ia Eoglsad that ths tariff on tbe goods as ongr protected our manufacturers, and tnuy woald, many of them, bars been ruined, if orders for wool bad not gone out from this country, which for some kinds of wool advanced the price in w England from ten snd three-quarter pence, at which purchases were made in Ajigust, to nineteen pesos, psid in ths following April. This gr .at advance was not warranted and reacted severely upon some of tbe importers.but it saved tbe country from a mors severe reduc tion in prices than would otherwise have occurred by enhancing tbe cost of tor- elgn manufactuiers, notwithstanding tbs accumulated stock of foreign wool here. About forty per Cent, ox tbe wool imported that year was held ovsr. - Eagland than sent us goods mads ot a coarse grade of wool t'aat we raised very little of, aod, while the feahioa lasted, it seriously reduoed the value of our fiaer wools. Thus you see that, hedge yonr fine wools about by a tar iff as you may, ths freaks of fashion will sometimes make We sincerely hope that this warn a breach ia your walls of protection. Ing will be heeded and that all per Te presjut indications are that goods, sons coming to our fair, will refrain with finished face, will soon agaia bs in fashion. As yet we have fouad al- most no wools in this eountry adapted to this manufacture. We ehall again be obliged to import, and if tbe tariff sbenld be too high to allow of that, many of our mills must be closed, for the people will follow the fashion, Should this come, you may look agaia for a deoline in tbe bulk tf the wools of this country. I might go into statistics and demon sirate every statement here made, but it would be no stronger if done. In the face of facta, figures and history, which baa repeated itaalf at least twice .1 in our own oountry within the space of about sixty years, I am asked to aid in W' repeating the folly of putting up the tariff on foroian wools, whioh I most respectfully deoline to do for the reason that in the Ion run it would Injure rather than benefit tbe wool growing interests of the oountry, by restricting the extension, and prevent the divsrai- fying of home manufactures, thereby limiting the consumption of tbe raw material which mu.t result in keeping down if not in further depressing tbe price of domestic wools. It is doubtless true that tbe reduc tion in ths tariff contributes to ths late decline in tbe priest of domestic wools, V. k iL.m Alli.r .J mam nfti... . r . . ttal eauses operating to bring about this decline. Overproduction in borne man- ufacturers under the stimulus of enor- mmialv hish tariff did more to brine? about this decline than the reduction ths tariff. It is onlv a repetition what ooonrrorl in 1879 whsn American a . v t.. .v. uesce woo.. u,u uguuu. 7 . 1 - - 1.1 t. j j at lower rates jtuau suey aa uoae ior thirty years before and considerably lower than at any time since the re- duction in the tsriff was made. But suppose tbe decline is to be whollv attributed to the tariff reduction. Is Congress to disregard the necessities of the public service, which requires a speedy reduction rf tlie tavenues, be cause by tsking off some of the tares , eertsio interests are t have tbetr pro Its some a bst lessened! If such specie interest which hss been festered undei highly protected tariffs "msy come to their Senators aod Representatives snd "demand" that their interests shall not be touched and have their demands complied with, pray tellme where tarifl reform is to corns in and where reduc tion of tbe revenue is to begin t Tbeneoessity .for reducing tbe reve nues is universally admitted and it is quite generally agreed tbst there ehall bs no further reduction in internal tax es ; therefore tbs only means of accom plishing this end is by reforming tbe tariff, snd in doing this svery interest must submit to its share of the necessa ry reduction. Wool growers can claim ft) exemption in m the rule, and I em furs tbsy srt too patriotic sod just to ask to bsve their business favored and protected at the expense of, and to the bortbeningof tbo general public.
