What the Dingley act is doing for the wool-growers of tlie United States is clearly shown by the table of imports for the years 1897 and 1898. During the former period we imported 350,854,026

pounds, while during 1898 we have imported,only 182,418,026 pounds. The American wool-grower has again found a home market for his product and is supplying Hie demand which, under the Wilson bill, was supplied by importations from foriegn countries.
