Wool AND THE TAR,FF.-The Hon W. Slade
of Vermont, has recently applied to the Office of
the Register Of the Treasury for the returns of
wool imported during tie first half of the present
fiscal year which commenced one month after
the Tariff went into operation. The answer is
published in the Middlcbury Peoples Press. It
is as follows:


Wool costing Cts. or ,ndcr......... SSl 1868
Do do. over ! c.s................. l15,i62
Which being doubled for the entire year, will
stand as follows:


Wool costing cts. or under ........l 762, !36


&c. do. over cts. ................. l5l ,92l


Total ............. -, lll66O
Now compare this with the irnportations Of the
year ending September Seth, 1872, which were
&c follows:


Wool costing cts or undcr....... 0535, ,99S


Do do over 3 Cts.................. l5i ,3c4


Total.......... ..................ll,2 l,2S9 $50
From which deduct .......... -. !. 1850
Dminution of wool imported this year 9,l4,722
ilcrc is the PLAIN and satisfactory reason why
American Voc! has advanced TO about lalr
price, TO rcmuncrate tic siiiul wool !-growcr.
This business is fast becoming very important
branch Of rural industry, and well deserves the
protection 1t receives from JudIcious wing d.
re-. We have no doubt but the amount OF wool
grown in TIC United States this year is . per
cent larger than tic ,9hcle clip of 1910.


A PLURALITY OF HEADS AND HGR:7s.--Wc feel
bound to caution the friends of Mr.. Van Burcn
in the South that they are paving the way for
b!ow-up. They are in fact making their candid
ale commit polygamy-a very heinous offence,
and oue Uarticnlarly unbecoming so scrupulously
decent a gentleman as Mr.. Van Buren,. In Fr
ginia they have published him with Mr.. Steven
son--in Alabama they have taken license 10
marry lin TO Mr. King-n Mississippi he is en-
gagged to Mr.. Waiksr-n Tennessee he isactually
married to Gov. Polk-and N Arkansas Mis-
sour and kentucky to Col. johnson. Is this
proper Is it not certain that when the whole
truth comes 10 be known, there will &c broken
hearts, blighted prospects. worms IN the bud and
finally actions for breach of promise, and may
be others for Il separate maintenance 1t looks
like general system Of political concublnagc,
which we feel bound to protest against. Let Hlr.
Van Burcn take one wife and adhere to her in
good faith and praiscworthy confluence.
