Democratic Campaign Document.

It is admitted by the president that the effect of the high duties on wool and woolen goods has been to exclude “the importation of clean, low-priced ; foreign wools of inferior grades” ■ which could have been used" to “to : displace the cheap substitutes.now In ■ use.” . I In other words, many who are now ' wearing shoddy might be wearing ! wool if the Republican congress had not seen fit to insure the ~profits of those who are engaged in the woollen industry. With a’few comments and annotations President Taft’s message advocating the lowering of the woolen tariff ought to make a good campaign document for the Democratic party.
