A critical view argues woolen mill owners collect 44 cents per pound via compensatory duties on wool and shoddy, claiming $100 million per year from consumers and farmers alike. It asserts trusts fix prices, with $70 million theft from buyers and $30 million promised to farmers but never paid, supported by cited government data.

Seventy Percent of Shoddy in Every Pound of Cloth
A critique of 1880s wool usage shows mills relied on 70 percent shoddy and 30 percent wool, with domestic supply lagging and heavy imports. The piece accuses mills of collecting 10 cents per pound as compensatory protection and blackmail, claiming farmers gain nothing.
The Protected Sheep and the Un protected Hog
The text argues for and against protection, noting mill owners seek protection to boost business while farmers want protection to cut sheep numbers. It references page 680 of the compendium of the last Census for support and asks the reader to consult it.

Trusts and protection fosters theft of duties in wool and cotton
A lengthy critique argues Congress enables trusts to dominate wool and cotton markets via protective duties. It claims rate manipulation, secret competition, and bribed voters undermine protection, portraying a system where the perfect trust siphons all benefits, while farmers lose out. The piece links political corruption to economic plunder and promotes a patent remedy.
