fully request your attention to the enclosed
resolutions, and that you will give in foil
your views upon the Tariff question so
far as regards wool and its manufacture ::
also upon that part Of the bill now pend

There is an impression among the wool
growers of the state that the rotces as well
as the rotes of our Senators should have
been used TO prevent the po>tponement of
the Tariff Bill at the last Congress, and
we request an explanation.
