Tariff ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and Manufac-
turers Organizing to AgItate the
Matter
New YoRK, May 5.-A meeting was held
tonight in the parlor of the Windsor Hotel
af of he
turers of New York;to discuss the question
of tariff reform and if possible to effect an
organization which might call to the atten-
ton of Congress such measures as should
seem ad visable looking in that direction.
Although more than $50 invitations were
issued to prominent business men of the
city, not moro than forty were present at the
meeting tonight The objects of the meet
ing were to recommend, first, the abolition
of all duties raw materials such as wools
iron and other ores, coal, jute.- hemp, fax,
dye stufs, etc, in order that we may COM
pete in home and foreign markets with other
manufacturing nations, not one of which taxes
raw materials, Second the adjustment of
tariff so that manufactures approaching
| nearest the crude state will pay the lower
rate and manufactures that have fur
Their advanced requiring more skill and
labor will pay the higher rate of duties
The attainment of these objects would cheap
en- the cost of many of the necessariss of life,
relieve the home markets from Burdens of
overproduction and place our manufacturing
| industries on solid basis. Addresses were
delivered by Mr.. R. H. Woelf, Of R. q. Woolf

the interest of the boot and shoe Dealers
| William Dean, one of the State commission
| ers of emigration, for the wooden trade and
Mr.. Leroy for the lead manufacturers
| Mr.. WOLF condemned the tariff as passed
| by the last Congress as monstrosity less
comprehensive and still more inconsistent
| and irrational that the preceding one The
| speaker felt satisfied that there were plenty
| competent men in Congress who might, with
the aid and counsel of experienced fair
| minded business men, devise judicious tariff
and remove the present inequalities.
He was a free trader and knew a
sudden change to free trade would
| prove fatal to onr manufacturing
interests and for this reason he favored q
prudent policy of gradual and proportional
reduction of the tariff. This ought to begin
| by placing materials the free list in
order to enable onr manufacturers to pur-
chase their materials on an even basis with
those in Europe
William Dean thought the nearer we ap-
| preached free trade the nearer we APP
preached justice to one another. He said
that it WAS not for any particular branch of
| industry to demand projections; the manufac-
turing compared to the agricultural interest
of our country is small and if
the agricultural interest fourishes the
| manufacturing will. Mr.. Healy spoke briefly
on the effect of the present tariff on the
boot and shoe trade. One of the naost as
tonishing phenomena in this country, he said.
| was the apathy of manufacturers on this
subject. When the Ways and Means COM
nnittee OF Congress recently considered the
matter, not a single manufacturer showed
| interest enough in the matter to come for
ward and express his views, hence Mr.. Nor
| rison supposed they did not care. The manu-
facturers of New York should extend
their influence into the country
and small towns in the vicinity and
| active measures should be taken to
influence representatives to Congress from
such localities. The present meeting was
only preliminary to q definite organization
which is to be known as the Manufacturers
Tariff Reform League" An executive COM
mittee of five was appointed by the chair to
draw up plan of organization and the
meeting then adjourned.
