not ashamed to answer. For a period of about five 
years, we have felt the influence of a protective tariff. 
Its operation ha* only been temporarily checked by 
the high internal revenue luxe*, and by excessive 
importations at one period growing out of the abnor¬ 
mal condition of affair* consequent upon me dose or 
the war. Sufficient time has not chip- ed until the 
present period, to demonstrate the effects upon the 
public interest of the protection which the woolen 
tnauufac.Hirers have received. Comparing our pro-

years before, ' This applies to cloths in their infinite

Taxes on Manufactures, Productions, &c.—An 
effort Is being made to induce Congress to repeal the 
internal taxes on manufactures aud productions, ex¬ 
cept luxuries. It. is proposed to hold a National Con¬ 
vention of Manufacturers (of all kinds'! at Cleveland, 
O,, Wednesday, December 18th, to plau for joint ac¬ 
tion, for the early repeal by Congress of internal taxes 
on manufactures and productions, except luxuries. 
This step Is taken to meet a wide desire for the relief 
of onr productive, industry from heavy burthens which 
arc deemed wholly unnecessary. This, It is claimed 
by the movers, can be done by simplifying our tax 
list. Capt. E. B. Ward of Detroit, Mich., is Chair¬

yields 21 lbs., or 252 hush, per acre. Cuzco, 1 
lb. gave 41 lbs., or 48(5 bush, per acre. Harri¬

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF WOOL MAN 
UFACTURERS-ANNUAL REPORT. 
As we have previously stated, the National Associ¬ 
ation of Wool Manufacturers held its third annual 
meeting at New York, Oct. 2d. 1807. Hon. Era*tu» 
Bigelow of Mass , was unanimously re-elected Pres¬ 
ident; T. S. Faxton of N. Y., Theodore Pom hot, 
of Mass., Archiiiald Oamvhkll of Pa . Vice Presi¬ 
dents; and John L. Hayes of Boston, Secretary. 
We have already published the resolutions passed nt 
the meeting. Were they not » complete guaranty 
that the Association stand* up with perfect good raitb 
to the letter and spirit of their friendly compact with 
the Wool Growers, the rc-election of these officers 
would afford that guaranty. 
Mr. Bigelow 1b one of the ablest men or our coun¬ 
try. As an Inventor his name ranks with that of the 
Whitneys, Watts aud Arkrigiit*. His writings 
on Iluancial topics and especially on Tarlfle are mark¬ 
ed by a boundless familiarity with facts and by a pro¬ 
found and statesmanlike depth. By the practical ap¬ 
plication of such powers to business concerns he has 
riBen from narrow means to a princely fortune He 
was among the first, tr not the first of our great man¬ 
ufacturer to discover that the ultimate and real suc¬ 
cess of the manufacturing industry of the Nation lay 
not in depressing the wool growing interest, but iu 
fostering it eqnalJy with the manufacturing Interest. 
He has steadily supported this policy, and hie great 
influence among hie associates ha6 done much to 
wipe out the traditions aud prejudices which stood 
in the way of Its adoption. 
Messrs, Faxton, Pomroy and Campbell belong to 
the same school, and they arc all men of high practi¬ 
cal sagacity and ability, of the most unblemished in¬ 
tegrity. earnest, straightforward, perfectly sinccn- 
meu whose good faith can be relied on in every emer¬

Road Making. — At a recent meeting of the Her¬ 
kimer Co. Farmers’ Club the discussion opened with 
the subject of making and repairing roads. Mr. 
Whitman of Little Falls, lead off' in favor of a change 
of tbe present taws with regard to roads — changing 
asttossments from labor to cash, collectable the same 
as other taxes, and placed under the control of a 
superintendent of roads who should he made respon¬ 
sible for their good condition. Under the present 
system much of tiie labor assessed is never perform¬ 
ed, while what is done is often of Uttlc or no benefit 
to tbe public. By placing the matter in charge of a 
responsible road surveyor, with the necessary mean* 
under control to meet sudden exigencies, a great 
saving to the public would be tbe result, while the 
roads would be placed In a much better condition 
than they are under the present or labor system. 
Substantially the same change was suggested and 
urged In the Rural New Yorker, years ago, and we 
hope it may be adopted. 
A Farm in Kentucky. 
The West and South publishes a communi¬ 
cation from a gentleman who paid a visit to the 
turn of Mr. Alexander, at Woodburu, Wood¬ 
ford Co., Kentucky. The farm consists of 8,100 , 
acres, and is mainly devoted to the raising of 
horse stock—imported and thoroughbred. The 
value of this stock is over one million of dollars. 
Among the old and famous turf horses, tindmg 
home and shelter here, are “ Lexington,” now 
blind; “Asteroid,” lame; aud “Australiau.” 
There are one hundred and twenty brood marcs, 
of thorough blood, ranging the pastures, one j 
hundred cows, and eight hundred sheep of the 
most approved varieties. The buildings for stock 
and dairy purposes are in keeping with the mag¬ 
nitude of the investments made in stocking the 
plantation. __ 
Southern Clover. 
The Aken Press, Ga., gives an account of 
the new plant, Japan Clover, which has found 
its way mysteriously into the middle regions of 
Georgia and South Carolina. It is ascertained 
to be a native of China and Japan, but by what 
means it was conveyed to the region in question 
is yet unexplained. The Press is of the opinion 
that this clover will prove of vast importance to 
the planters of the South in the renovation of 
the soil so much exhausted by continuous cot¬ 
ton cropping. The plant is perennial, and sup-

Not So Much Cotton. 
The Southern Cultivator urges the planters 
of tlio Cotton States to diversify their crops 
more than they have done hitherto. When 
they have provided a sufficiency of grain, stock 
and" vegetables for home consumption, they may 
profitably close the circle of production by the 
cultivation of cotton. This course, it is argued, 
will make the South .-elf-sustaining and promote 
the interest of that section of the country.
