For convenience of comparison the specific tariff rates have been changed to ad vaiorem by assuming a probable value for wools imported. The market price is that given by James Lynch and George Wm. Bond. The cnrrency values for period when gold was at a premium--1862 to 1874, inclusive--are reduced to gold. This tariff admitted nearly all the fine wools of South America and Cape of Good Hope and many of those grown in Australia, free. Wool costing over 20 cents was taxed 24 ad valorem, t Wool costing over 24 cents, 9 cents per pound. As under this clause only very high cost scoured wools would be selected, the duty might be less than 20. THE WOOL CLIP OF THE UNITED STATES. "Fleece, tub, and Total clip of Years. pulled."
