Delany, President of f the National Woolgrowers Association of the j United States, endorses the Bill, which, m ] the- opinion of its friends, will pass the House by a two to ono majority. Ohio ia tbe t chief wool-producing Stato m the oountry, 3 and hid suffered, most severely from the re- , duct ion made m the present tariff law.

If the , information could be readily ob'ained it is difilcult to believe that so many pe»ple would remain hern without ocoupition. Tbe uroi of Auttralin and Canada i> so vast, the fertility of the soil co remarkable, and the mpid inoreijae of their population so cenain. that within the lifetimo of the ohildren of the , gentlemen present, their numbers will be equal to our.'; and m unotlier Century they will be greatly superior to us. In men and wealth our colonies give foreigners an apparent advantage over us. It is atill our policy to remain their cloe>t alliea.
