Rcyo'rci, That we cordily sanction the fol-
owing preamble and resouou in relation TO the
rarl.l question, adopted by the Democratic State
Convention, at Montpelier, on the 10Th ui: to witt
IIhcrc9y, tariff bill has been reported to the
House Of Representatives in Congress, by a major
ly Of the Committee on Manufactures, in which it
IS proposed to lay duty Of 26 per cent. and 1 cts
per lb, on imported wool costing over cts, and
wool under that cost To be duty free, and to lay Il
duty of 10 per cent. on Manufactures Of wool with
m addition of 10 per cent, to take effect in 1891;
and whereas the Secretary of the Treasury, has
sent IN a tarI bill to Congress, by which it is pro-
posed TO impose duty Of thirty per cent on wool
costing over eight cents, and per cent on wool
costing less than that sum; aud Il duly of 10 per
cent, on Manufactures Of wool: and whCrCgS, II
resolution was adopted by certain Manufactures Of
Mass, that " duty on the raw material is Il tax
on tho ManucIcturrrs:' it appears evident that
settled purpose exists, with many, both in and out
Of Congress, to discriminate in laying duties on I'M
ports, between the corporate interest and the
agricultural interest, so as 10 protect the one aud
sacrifice the other, Therefore,
Rr0ircI, THAT, as wool is the great staple of
this State, and its protection is Intimately conncc
ted with the prosperity Of lis agriculture, a COM
mlllcc Of three he appointed TO prepare Il memorial
to Congress, demonstrating against the luvidious
distinction above allu1rd to, aud claiming, that
theoglrullnml aud aJoring interests generally of
Ncrmonl, be placed upon the same footing with the
Interests of thn rich capitalists and Manufacturer:
and that the committee be authorized to appoint
