What reason. then. I repeat. is there that the woolgrower should be favored beyond the millions engaged in other agricultural pursuits who can get no benefit from protection? If there is any better reason than that he is thereby bribed to support the tariff combine. by raising his patriotic voice in behalf of the "home market" and against " the competition of the pauper labor of Europe." which is flowing to our shores in an everincreasing. untaxed tide. I have never heard it. It must be borne in mind. however. that this country has not. does not now. and never can raise either the quantity or quality of Rool necessary to clothe our people comfortably and successfully and profitably maintain our woolen manufacturing industries.
