An economics article by F. W. Taussig, published in the Quarterly Journal of Economics in October 1893, examining the effects of the U.S. tariff system on wool and woollens established in 1867. The first part treats duties on clothing, combing and carpet wool, covering domestic production, the westward shift of sheep raising, imports and price comparisons. The second part treats duties on woollen and worsted manufactures, their growth, imports, competition from foreign goods, and the likely effects of free wool and reduced woollen duties.

A 1912 review article by economist F. W. Taussig of the U.S. Tariff Board's four-volume report on wool and woolens. It discusses how the Board calculated the cost of wool production in three U.S. regions (general farming, western range, and Ohio), the case for or against the wool duty, and the Board's recommendation to assess duties on scoured content. It also covers the woolen manufacturing section, the compensating duty system and Schedule K, and the reliance of American worsted mills on imported machinery. The content is tariff economics rather than technical textile material.
