and then under consideration, was, on motion
cut down to seven cents, the effect of which
was to bring all wool costing eight cents
down to seven cents, under the operation vi
the high duty Of three cents per pound and
thirty per cent ad valorem.
2. The word coarse, which never before
appeared in any tariff in connection with
this subject, was inserted, the Congress in.
tending thereby to declare, that no wool
should be admitted at five per cent, unless it
was truly coarse wool, ard that all wool
not coarse, or which could co mpete wit tn
with our domestic wool. should pay the high
duty, though costing seven cents or under.
3. A variety of new regulations were
adopted to prevent and guard against fraud :,
which will be found in the provisos above
recited, marked l, 2, and 3.
In this manner the 9th Congress sedulous-
ly attempted to protect the wool of the Amer
lean farmer, and guard his interests effectu-
ally against all danger of competition with
cheap South American wool. do not hes
itate to affirm that this object would have
been accomplished, if the act of lS42 had
been executed according to the manifest in
tent of Congress. Certain it is, the provis-
ions of that act as ultimately settled were
highly satisfactory to those members who
more Immediately represented the wool
growing interest.
To enable the committee to appreciate the
true character Of the tariff of 1912, so far as
it deals with this subject, invite particu-
lar attention to the table which now intro
duce. In the first column you find the cost
of wool in the foreign country from five
cents to twenty-five cents per pound; in the
second, the rate per cent. which each grade
pays according to the true meaning Of the
ACT of 1912, sapposing the woods costing sew
en- cents and under, not to be COARSE" and
therefore r15. ee4ftfried TO admission at the low
! rate; in the third, the amount ofduty which
each grade must pay according to the act of
1912; and in the fourth, the amount which
the same grades will pay according to the
bill which has recently passed the two
Houses of Congress; the rate of duty under
such bill being on all wool thirty per cent.
ad valorem. The specific duty of three
cents per pound is wholly rejected.
