nations there was imported in ls4l, 4.4O9, COO.
costing s cents and less, and only 100000 Of
wool costing over cents per pound mud paying
duty.
Rcsoired, That in revising the late Tariff the
wool, growers interest was entirely disresardfd,
by passing law admitting toarse wool cOasRg z
cents or less at nominal duty Of cents on dol
lars worth, not averaging l-2 mills per pound,
when there was imported the year previous about
2S lbs. Of wool of that description TO H. Of wool
paying any higher duties by SAID Tariff
Resoired, I hat the word "coarSe" as nsed in
the Tariff Is calculated to deceive the woOl.grow-
ers, as The price at which the wool is purchased
in the foreign ports decides The quality and the
duty to be paid.
| Rssoired, That our Senators and Representa-
lives in Congress be requested TO use ali honor
able exerons 10 procure revision Of The Tariff
law so as to give Il reasonable protection 10 the
wool-growers agains, all loreig n wool.

for the people Of Vermont To adopt the principle Of
sellpIoleclon, look for relief from this eInharass-
mCnlS, less to legislation and more to their farms
and work-shoPs less 10 politics and more TO labor;
less 10 getting into office and extravaganza nnd
TO getting into business and out Of debt, pro.
duce more Orw what is necessary and purchase less
of what is unnecessary and endeayor as much M
possible to become independent Of Others and de-
pendent upon themselves
