WHAT ARE THE FREE TRADERS 
DOING? 
What Shall the Wool Growers Do ? 
The answer to the lirst of those questions 
will be found in a report of the Secretary of 
the Free Trade League, published “ by order 
of the Executive Committee,” Oct. 13, 1809, 
The report, says: 
•• in tiws. the snliaerlpttons to the Leagueamounted

increased to .f.;,i : in 1S08, they wore *1.313.52, unci,

a* 1 * indicated by those tlmn-es cannot hut be en¬ 
couraging and gratifying to all who sympathize with 
ua. ” 
The publication of a newspaper organ 
called “ The League,” was commenced in 
1SG7. Tin; report continues: 
‘ Many thousands of tracts were circulated during 
IS'ji and 18(12, but the League has not been strong 
enough until the present ywv to adopt 8 systematic 
plan of distribution. We now, however, have in atic- 
rozstnl ujior-atlun a system of district and house vis¬ 
itation. which accomplishes several important re¬ 
sults. We have In our service, six parsons of superior

Jubilant aecOtmte arc given of the effects 
of these efforts in all directions, of the num¬ 
ber of converts made, of the number of edi¬ 
tors engaged, of the distinguished public 
men who have signified their adhesion, of 
the money raised at public meetings, &c. 
Al, one meeting alone held at the Merchants’ 
Exchange, in New York City, March 0, the 
sum of 817,855 was contributed. The list, of 
notabilities claimed in favor of free trade is 
strung in Doctors of Divinity, poets, profes¬ 
sors, lecturers, lawyers, &C., with a lew poli¬ 
ticians; and the great, merchants, from A. 
T. Stewart downward, are of course in 
and at the real head of the movement. The 
programme of The League in the next ses¬ 
sion of Congress and subsequently, is thus 
avowed: 
"Wo shul! light (anticipated tariff measures) with 
our whole strength, end the tear ivlll hr curried Into 
Africa l>y th ' jirnjuHat of a r-i'cnnr tariff during the

The League has a enm.Tr.dUiiis ortho t No. 63 Wil- 
Itam street, corner of Cedar street, New York, where 
all free-traders in c welcome, onices will ho opened 
at (jUaoinnatl, Chicago and St. Louis, before tile 
meeting of Congress.” 
The allusion lo ‘‘the toiling millions” is 
decidedly rich! We have nothing to say 
about tho great commercial capitalists fur¬ 
nishing I lie sinews of war for the fore¬ 
shadowed raid on Congress. They would 
not be true to the instincts of capital if they 
did not seek to beutl everything to its at¬ 
tainment. If.such men as Beecher, Bryant, 
Garrison, Likuer, Atkinson, and the 
whole string of preachers, poets and profes¬ 
sors vaunted in the report as having given 
in their adhesion to The Lcugite, wish to 
advocate Us theories, let'them do it, whether 
in prose or poetry, oration or essay. It’s a 
free country. But lor Heaven’s sake don’t 
let these men expect the public to keep a 
sober countenance when they claim to be 
the mouth pieces of productive labor—of 
“ the toiling millions!” 
We now know what the free traders are 
doing. Tiie next question is, what are the 
producers to do who require protection? 
Our individual province, here, lies with the 
wool growers, and we therefore address our¬ 
selves only to them. Can we afford, is it 
prudent, to treat with indifference those 
measures of the Free Trade League which 
arc above described? In other words, is 
there no danger of Congress again vacil¬ 
lating mi a subject on which it lias habitually 
vacillated since the foundation of the Gov¬ 
ernment? The present wool tariff has 
saved wool production from utter destruc¬ 
tion. But it has not yet restored prosperity 
to the bulk of production in the Northern 
Slates. The free-traders, ignoring the first 
fact, and that abnormal condition of things 
which has produced the last one, will of 
course claim that the tariff has failed of its 
intended object, and therefore requires 
change: and the change they will propose 
will be an essential lowering of duties! 
Suppose, then, there is on their side wide¬ 
spread and zealous effort, agitation, public 
meetings, addresses, memorials, petitions, 
etc., in favor of abolishing, among others, 
the duties on wool, which are above what 
they term a revenue standard, — while on 
the contrary Lite wool growers remain idle— 
apparently totally indifferent to the result? 
Can we expect., have we any right to ex¬ 
pect, that this will be a safe position for us 
wool growers to occupy ? 
Our great tariff struggles have oflcn re¬ 
sulted in compromises—the partial or entire 
surrender of protection in some particular 
branches of industry requiring protection. 
Other branches have bought their own safely 
by consenting to throw these overboard. 
Who so likely lo he tho victim as that dumb 
and torpid one that will do nothing for 
itself—which may he trampled on or traded 
off with impunity ? Theot.her important pro¬ 
tected industries have their able and in¬ 
terested representatives in Congress — men 
having large pecuniary connections with 
them, or who have been nominated and 
elected as their especial champions. When 
and where have American farmers thus 
looked out for their interests in the nomina¬ 
tion and election of Congressmen V I low long 
is it since an able and popular agricultural 
editor in Ohio was denounced for presuming 
1.0 raise a, question as lo the tariff views of a 
party candidate ? There may he land owners 
am! land speculators enough in Congress, 
but there is but the merest handful of actual 
farmers, men whose principal business is 
practical farming, in either branch of that 
body. Therefore wc have not there repre¬ 
sentatives, whoso interests, whose associa¬ 
tions and whose pledgee necessarily impel 
them spontaneously to become the vigilant, 
active and uncompromising gnardiaus and 
champions of the agricultural interests. 
But we are not of those who accept the 
dreary theory that. it. requires either indi 
vidunl pecuniary interests or ante-election 
pledges to find true friends of productive in¬ 
dustry in Congress. Wo have always found 
them when we have asketl for thorn. Wc 
sincerely believe that a great majority of the 
members of every Congress, at least outside 
of those who specially represent the domin¬ 
ant commercial interests in cities, vote with 
great reluctance against, the known and ex¬ 
pressed wishes of the farmers of their dis¬ 
tricts or States on matters specialty pertain 
ing to tho agricultural interests of the coun¬ 
try, We found gallant mid most able cham¬ 
pions in the struggle on the present wool 
tariff. We have found them in all previous 
struggles where ice hare roused ouvscLa s and 
claimed our rights. Indeed, we have found 
champions who have asked too much for us 
—because what they asked required an un¬ 
due sacrifice of other interests. 
Nor is it true that the farming interest lias 
ever had to pay for influence or votes in 
Congress. This is not even claimed to have 
been done in the old tariff struggles. In that 
of 1886-7, we know that it was not clone 
directly or indirectly; and that it would not 
have been done to the extent of a cent by 
1 hose charged by the wool interest with pre¬ 
senting their claims to Congress, had it been 
to save every sheep in the United States 
from extermination. 
It is not, in our judgment, expedient t<> at¬ 
tempt to imitate the Free Trade League in 
raising great sums of money for the purpose 
of bringing to bear similar machinery to in- 
fluence Congress. We cannot, if wc would 
Almost the entire body of wool growers in 
tho Northern States arc farmers of moderate 
means. Those in the principal wool growing 
States of the North engaged in growing fine 
or superfine wools (comprising the principal 
hulk of those grown) have not for some time 
been making anything on their sheep; and 
those on high priced lands have lost. These 
circumstances are not well calculated, when 
united with tho present cost of living and 
the present rate of taxation, to put men in a 
giving mood ; and, to say the truth, farmers 
have not been accustomed to contribute to 
such objects with anything like the freedom’ 
that other interests do of far less aggre¬ 
gate means, but of much greater individual 
wealth. In a struggle between the wool 
growing and free trade interests, calling for 
the use of money either for legitimate or ille¬ 
gitimate purposes, more could be raised in 
Boston or New York in an hour than could lie 
raised by a protracted effort by all the wool 
growers in the Union. 
We must take things as wc find them. If 
we cannot hire lecturers and tract distribu¬ 
tors to canvass the country from house to 
house, we have the less need of it, for two 
reasons. The lirst is, wc row with, and not 
against., the title of public opinion—the wool 
growers are united on the subject; and, sec¬ 
ondly, wc have an efficient substitute in the 
agricultural press. \Vc have agricultural 
newspapers printed in every State, and large¬ 
ly circulated in every State, which are con¬ 
ducted with signal ability and judgment, and 
which command the confidence of their 
readers. In the aggregate, they penetrate 
more houses and are read by more persons 
than ever will be reached by the hired free- 
trade “ co-operators.” If these papers will 
make common cause, and put their shoulders 
heartily to the wheel, the whole wool grow¬ 
ing interest of the country will soon be 
roused to all tbc action which is necessary hi 
the case. 
What is the kind and the extent of the ac¬ 
tion which is necessary or expedient? In 
our judgment, all the wool growers' associa¬ 
tions, national, Slate, county and town, 
should, by resolutions or memorials, express 
their opposition to changing the present 
tariff, by lowering the general duties on wool; 
and against making any exceptions in respect 
to Canadian wools by means of a new reci¬ 
procity treaty. In towns in which wool 
growers abound lo any extent, but which 
have no local organized associations, it would 
l)o well for them to hold meetings and pass 
resolutions on the subject. The proceedings 
of these associations and meetings, to pro¬ 
duce the greatest effect, ought not to be con¬ 
fined to the local papers, but also published 
in the State agricultural papers* and one or 
more leading newspapers which circulate 
most largely in the State. They should also 
in all cases be sent to the Congressman rep- 1 
resenting the district where they are had, 
and to any other members of Congress to 
which it may he thought expedient to send 
them; and if meetings of State Associations, 
to the entire Congressional delegation of 
the State. 
Secondly, we would advise farmers in 
every Congressional District to write letters 
to their representative in Congress soliciting 
his friendly action. Personal letters from 
constituents always exercise a material in¬ 
fluence on high-minded members of that 
body, and are not entirely thrown away on 
the venal intriguers and shallow coxcombs 
who sometimes find a place in it. Then: is 
a feeling of pride and honor which influences 
men of principle and frequently men of no 
principle, to stand up stoutly for their clients, 
their neighbors, their constituents and those 
who invoke their aid for proper objects. 
Finally, we would earnestly press upon 
our friends the importance of petitioning 
Congress. The object, of petit ions is to show 
to that body the views, feelings and wishes 
of wool growers of the United States, and 
their friends, in regard to the protection of 
their industry — to show that they have not 
yet given up tho cause mid arc not indiffer¬ 
ent in regard to the preservation of the 
present wool tariff. If Congress should be 
satisfied that such was the general sentiment 
of the wool growing interest and its friends, 
the efforts of the •‘young men eager to serve 
a great cause whic h pr esents to them pros¬ 
pects • * * of distinction,” and the whole 
tail of book men and theorists, will weigh 
littie. If the wool growers will not give 
their time to attend occasional meetings or 
circulate or sign petitions on the subject, 
when a great, and concerted attack is being 
made, on wool protection, they will necessa¬ 
rily be adjudged indifferent to the result,and 
protection, will soon—within a session or 
two—be overthrown or cut down—and one 
alternative would he as fatal as the other, 
for either would kill. Men and brethren: in 
1808 and 1867 we united and acted vigor¬ 
ously together. Shall we do so again, and 
save the cause, or shall we, because of tem¬ 
porary disappointments, give up our sheep, 
give up one of the great sheet anchors of 
convertible husbandry, give up the home 
production of one of the chief necessaries of 
life, and become a dependent, for that neces¬ 
sary of life on foreign nations, who will be 
sure to take the full advantage of us when 
our need is tho sorest ? 
We shall, after consultation with col¬ 
leagues and friends, print, petitions of the 
kind above stated for distribution (gratuitous, 
of course,) among those who wisli to circu¬ 
late or cause them to lie circulated for sig¬ 
natures,.and sent at the proper time to Con¬ 
gress. We will forward them to uH who 
apply for them; and every application will 
he put on file and answered as soon as the 
petitions arc printed. It will bo distinctly 
understood HiaL this will lie done merely to 
save friends the trouble of getting them 
printed—not with the remotest wish to pre¬ 
scribe any particular form of petition, and 
still less to make a display of more zeal in 
the cause than is felt, by the conductors of 
hundreds of other public journals. We pre¬ 
sume there is not. an agricultural journal in 
the country in favor of the present rate of 
wool protection (and is there an agricultural 
journal which is not in favor of it?) which 
would not willingly print petitions for the 
use of wool growers. The petitions had 
better be circulated as soon as convenient, 
so us to lie in readiness when the proper oc¬ 
casion shall arise in Congress. 
It must not he inferred trom our silence in 
regard to other industries which require 
protection, that we, or those we try to rep¬ 
resent, are indifferent to their interests. We j 
are in favor of a tariff for revenue with in- 
eidental protection to all homo industries 
which require protection—tho amount of 
such protection being regulated by the actual 
and bona, fide needs of each industry under 
the conditions which surround it—and hav- 
* We shall be clad to publish Buch proceedings had 
In any State, and presume other agricultural journal* 
would do tho same. 
ing in all cases a due regard for the rights 
and interests of the consumer. As a wool 
grower, we feel entitled to speak for, or at 
least offer our counsel to, the wool growers. 
We are not. authorized to take the same lib¬ 
erty with the other producing interests. They 
can judge, speak and net best, for themselves. 
From communications we have received, we 
judge that they will do anything but lie down 
supine and dumb during the free-trade cru¬ 
sade which is impending

Snic of .Mr. Wing’.* Cotimolds,—Wo learn by a 
letter from John I). Wino, Esq., that lie has 
sold his entire flock of Gotswokl sheep to Mr. L. 
A. Cli.vsi’. of the New York Agriculturist, who 
is to take thorn to his farm in Massachusetts. 
Mr. Wino saya:—“This Is undoubtedly the larg- 
osl sale, both in amount mid price, ever made in 
this country in thorough-bred Long Wools.” 
Ttie sheep were of Hie highest quality, and In 
t he finest ooudltloii. The pressure of Mr. Wing's 
eommei-oiul business lias withdrawn him from 
the list of eminent. New York sheep breeders. 
We greatly regret this, ills enterprise in im¬ 
porting and his skill in breeding, had ulrendy 
rendered him one of the most useful and noted 
men in l ids husbandry, and his tame and useful¬ 
ness would have gone on increasing. To such 
men as Wing and Tho unis the agricultural pub¬ 
lic bids a reluctant farewell.

THE FIRST CHEESE DAIRYING IN 
HERKIMER. 
Tn your interesting articles “Among Iho 
Cheese Factories of Herkimer County," pub¬ 
lished in tho Rural u. few weeks slime, you 
matte the slulomenfc that “ Fairfield Is the oldest 
cheese dairying towu in the county and in Iho 
State.” Wo think lliis a mistake, as it Jut* 
, always boon claimed by the old residents of tills 
vicinity that, Hie lir- t cheese dairy manufactured 
in II Tkimet county was by Jai<K» Thaykh, in 
Hie town of Norway, some two miles cast of 
Norway village. Tho locality is now known 
hereabouts as Dairy Hill. SylvaNVS Fisk ms, a 
neighbor of TnAYtai’s, soon alter engaged in 
the business. They were both Connecticut men, 
wo believe. The enterprise was considered 
somewhat experimental, mid many years after¬ 
wards it was often feared the bust no? * would bo 
overdone. Thayer’s first dairy consisted of 
about twenty cows: the exact date we cannot 
give—probably t.!m first, years of the present 
century. While Fairfield Is entitled to the fir 1 . 
rank, both ns to quantity and quality, of any 
cheese dairying towns In tlm State or Union, we 
claim for Norway the credit of first engaging m 
tho cheese dairy business, which lias solicit given 
Herkimer county cheese a world-wide reputu- 
U 011 . Fiieii. Smith, Lforway, 1863. 
Remarks. —We can hardly agree with our 
correspondent in hia claims for Norway as 
tiie earliest, cheese dairying town, in Herki¬ 
mer. Cheese was made, doubtless, at an 
early dale in Norway, as it was also in the 
town of Salisbury; but from tbc testimony 
of old residents of the county, avc are of the 
impression I lint, tho lira I, dairying began near 
the southern boundary of the town of Fair- 
field and about I,wo miles above Ealouville. 
In 1788 Judge WiiARiur—grandfather of the 
writer—came from Newburgh lo Herkimer 
and purchased u tract of land in the vicinity 
of Lillie Falls, making a settlement in the 
county, lie was a surveyor by profession, 
and was for many years employed by the 
State and by those owning large grants of 
land in the county, to run lines and make 
surveys, As early as 1786, but few English 
or New England families had settled north 
of the Mohawk—not more than four or five, 
if as many—and Wn.\nRY must have been 
well acquainted with them. 
The Arnold families settled in tho town 
of Fairfield two or three years later than 
Wiiakry’s emigration, and we have it 
handed down from Whaury that the first, 
cheese in the county was made by Airs. Ar¬ 
nold. This must have been a few years 
prior to 1800, or at least not far from that 
date. 
The first effort of clearing up farms in the 
town of Norway, we learn from Benton’s 
History, was in 1786, by a Mr. Whipple 
and Christopher Hawkins, from Rhode 
Island. They did not prosecute their enter¬ 
prise. Between 1788 and 1790 John, An¬ 
drew and Amos Coe, and Capt. Hinman, 
came into the town of Norway from Con* 
nceticut. Possibly Mr. Thayer may have 
come into tho county soon after, but lie is 
not mentioned as among the early settlers, 
and it is hardly probable that he could have 
made his clearing and established a herd of 
twenty cows so early as 1800. 
Arnold was known as a prominent 
dairyman in Iho early history of tin* county. 
In sifting out, tho traditionary accounts of 
the first cheese making in Herkimer county, 
we have been inclined, as was natural, to 
place considerable reliance on what has been 
handed down to us from the Whaury family, 
Inasmuch as the J udge was among the earliest 
English settlers of the county north of t he 
Mohawk, and from the natun: of Ins business 
must have been well acquainted with tho 
kind of farming in which ail tho early settlers 
were engaged. 
Judge Benton, in Iris history of the 
county, is not always accurate in dates. IIo 
speaks of Wharry’s settlement in the 
county as occurring in 1787. The title 
deeds of the Whaury purchase are incur 
possession, and date back to May, 1786 It 
is quite difficult, to get at, exact dates of 
transactions which have only been handed 
down orally to the descendants of a genera¬ 
tion that has passed away. 
If our correspondent has any written tes¬ 
timony of the early settler* of the county 
{ by which he can establish the dale of Mr. 
Thayiju’s dairying, and from which it can 
ho made to appear that to Norway belongs 
the claim of the lirst cheese dairying in the 
comity, we shall he very glad to he corrected 
in our impressions, ami to record the fact as 
a matter of history. 
-- 
CREAM CHEESES. 
A correspondent inquires concerning 
the “little cream cheeses” of France, es¬ 
teemed by some as a great delicacy. The 
article referred to, we presume, is that known 
in Paris and other places on the continent, 
of Europe, as the “Ncufbhulol cheese.” 
Tiny arc made of cream and folded in paper, 
and arc somethin* imported into England as 
a delicacy. This style of e lie cue i* easily 
imitated, being nothing more than cream 
thickened by heat and pressed into a small 
mould. They undergo a rapid change, first 
becoming sour ami then mellow, in which 
state they are lit. for use and must he eaten 
boforedeeoniposilion has been carried too far, 
Small cream cheeses are quite common in 
England, though, strictly speaking, they can 
hardly be classed as cheeses, being simply 
thickened cream, pressed in moulds, and 
eaten in a lresh state-, or before passing 
through the fermenting process. In taste 
they resemble somewhat, the clouted cream 
of Devonshire, and are nothing more than 
fancy cream cakes, or cream moulded into 
fancy shapes for the table. Ah they are to 
be eaten when fresh, they differ materially 
in flavor from the Neitfchntcl cheeses re¬ 
ferred to. These cream cheeses are very 
small in size, being mere cakes in appear¬ 
ance, and only of a few ounces in weight.

The country -ale* dining election week arc lexer

There was no disposition on tho part of tho 
factories to taka lews Haiti Inst week's prices— 
th” general foci ing being that prices must, rather 
improve llaui go buck. Tho whole stock of 
cheese in the country is estimated at say •”'>(),000 
boxes, (and po&dbly It may bo a lit He more,) but 
us home dealer* have not yet laid m their.-.tacks, 
and a . iho winter trade will require ut least that

sharp trusts and recent snow have cut nir Hie

that prices arc not-likely to recede.
