MotH f Ai tliaina said the iiian
uf.u'tu.w wa- frequent ly the im
porter also, and that the real com
petitors with the wool growers of
this country were the foreign pro-
duoars, represented by the import'
ing manufacturer. He illustrated
bow it was done as follews: ""When
wo come to fix a tariff the first
Utit we do is to place a
specific duty on manufacturers,
which is nil equivalent, or a little
more than equivalent, for every
dollar that the manufacturer pays
for wools, on which he bases the
manufactured product. We tax
the product of ji sum equal to the
cost of tho wool and make the
consumer pay it. Ho goes to Aus
tralia to purchase his wool and ho
oetnos home by way of the Ha
waiian Islands. He can there
price his wool down below the
American market in spite of all
we on do under the existing laws,
merely by unloading his cargo or
changing the manifest. "We give
him a two-cent reduction of tar if
he will do that, and then give him
a trt(f on his manufactures, based
on the value of the wool in the
American market. We reward
Win for a fraud upon the treasury
by tolling him that if he can find a
mxrkot where his first-class wools
are less than thirty-two cents a
pound, and will bring his wools
there and ship them from that
point to the United States, he
shall have his tariff rates at ten
cents a pound instead of twelve"
The advocates of the silver
dollar are not afraid of any legis
ktion at this session to limit or
reduce silver coinage. Jones, of
Nevada, says that any measure to
atop or limit the coinage of silver
dollars would be ."overwhelmingly
"defeated in both houses. Thi? is
uhtl ?mo old fiht against silver
titrtl H? 'wn wanrpd Jhv the east
for veil'- It will not become a
politic question iu the nextpres
, i i-n:i' campaign. There is no
danger of that. Neither party is
a unit upon it. Eastern Republi
cans aud Democrats are almost a
hU against silver, while the west
ern ad southern men are almo.st a
wm. m ks favor. This attempt to
utrilw iu the coinage of silver is
ifce ok! fight for a single standard.
The talk about silver being cum
tarcoois Htid inconvenient is all
mamemr. Nobody wants silver
Mevey: but the certificates which
it ffefweseats arc as good as any
other money, and just as convenient."

Of all the state exchanges that
come to our desk the Standard

be said as to tho correctness of its

merit of itself.
