the wool trade, that they paid - more for ir
°VOL.:flu) border the •"destructives
..tustralian wool by Sc. per tionrel than for
.a superior quality of homegrown wool. In
1876, during the International Exposition
at Philadelphia, ttvo thousand wool-groW-
ers cram various parte of the United States.
and Canada Met to discuss the question,
" Does wool raising pay ?" mid it was pc-
sitively asserted that foreign' wool of the
same quality sold higher :than native -
grown. These large importations had to
he made in order to keep the extensive
factoriee in operation, 'rlic only alterna-
tive was either to keep running, fit What-
ever Cost, ot have machinery idle, Such
a number lverit into Manufacturing wool-
len goods of all kinds that the market is
• glutted, or is over -produced, or the supply
is greater them the demand ; the oonsee
quenee is the prices have fallen at least
50 per cent; This fall in theprice of wool
has been imminent for the last two years.
It is the inevitable result of fostering cer-
tain industries, and diverting dapital into
xerticulax channels, and thus overstoeking
certain lines of business, By thus en-
couraging and propping up some particii-
ler manufacturing intereit induces the
producers ofraw material, the farmers, to
follow, and thus losses accrue all round.
The attendee of American farmers main-
ly for the last few 'years luta been attraeted
in live stock to sheep and pigs, as probably
they make the quickest returns for the
outlay; but when everyone Went exten-
sively into raising this partieular stock,
- there had -to be a AIL . The error in -both
farming hero and that of the toiled States
is not judiciously varying their crops, so,
thet farmers Would have ageneral average
of prices; that is, i f one partieular produce
was low, it would in selling be made tip
by hig,11 price of another. Again., itis,not
probable, taking seasons into consideration
as we 'Mar call. them, eppear • to be
going Olean mad. Farmers arti warned
that they must not use self -binding reap-
ers, ote pain •of having the machines and
houses and bares' too, ' destroyed. ;...and
new somebody proposes to eet lire to
andburn up the •contents of half the
tanks in the r'ennsylvania ell dietriet,
in order to force a better price.for the
remainder. • It seems as if socioty
must depend greatly upon the to,,allows,

haps rifle and cannon, t� sive it front,

and 'that they 'itte pui•suing the same
course, the only difference being that
they are laboring to bring -about ware-
ity in a little less violent manner ;
but if they sucdeed in carrying out their
ideas now, the time would soon dome

in a quicker and less pleasant Way.—
