Book Description

Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal of Economics, Vol. 8: October 1893 In considering the effects of the duties assessed under these three heads, carpet wool may for the moment be set aside. Very little carpet wool is grown in the United States or has ever been grown here, and the questions which arise concerning the duties on this quality are much more simple than those brought up by the other two classes of wool. In current discussions of the wool duties it is those on clothing and combing wool which are chiefly had in mind; and this with reason, since they alone pre sent the intricate and disputed problems as to the working of the protection given to wool. We may proceed, then, to examine these by themselves, leaving for a later place what little is to be said in regard to the duties on carpet wool.
