WASHINGTON, February 1S.-Mr. Mills,
Of Texas, who is a member Of tho Ways
and Means Committee, thinks that the com.

upon the Morrison bill with some modla.

mittee, but not very many. I think there
will be some additions to the free list and
some other changes" s
"What about wool, Mr.. Mills, will there
be any changes In that
"Well," lie said, II do not think 1t will
be placed on tho free LIT, though come
people think 1t ought to b."
"Do you think the present feature Of the
bill which reduces the wool tariff 20 per-
cent will remain unchanged.

"That will not please MI. Converse and
his following?" vs.
"No." he said, q supposc it will not, but
their calling for the restoration OF the old
tariff is all nonsense. They ought to know
better than to ask it."

Eyes, Texas is the second WOO! produc.
ing State in the country. The TACT 10, in
my opinion, the tariff on wool does no!
affect the prices Of native wool. You see,
in the manufacture oil cloth they have to
have all the grades Of wool; very fine, very
Coarse, and medium, now We don't grow
the very coarse grades in this country, tho
consequence Is that we must import wool.
II we increase the tariff on wool tho result
Is that the wool imported Tor u nlaGutac.
lures costs more than 1t otherwise would,
and increases the cost Of their ,nanufac.
ture. It only effects our own wool in that
way by increasing tho cost OF the cloth
into which It is woven, 1t does not
increase the market price OF domes-
tic wools. The prices Of woo's
under the very low tariff which prevailed
prior to 1850 wero higher than they ere
| under the increased tariff since thai time,
Previous to 1850 certain grades Of wool
were allowed to come in free Of duty, while
on otners the tariff was comparativelylow
and the TACT that with that sort Of q law the
prices Of native wool were better than
under n high tariff, shows that high import
duties on foreign woola do not increase the
prices Of the native product"
"Aa to the general tariff bill, Mr.. Mills,
do you think it will pass the Houso?"
i. "Yes," he said, II think a reasonable
tariff bill will pass the House, n making
a moderate tariff reduction"
"How about the Senator"
" don't know az to that" he paid, II
see that Senator Beck has been eayingthat
a reasonable bill would pass that body
hope he is right, though l an frank to con
fess that I have serious doubts"
"And the President, would it get past
him, do you think 2"
Rather doubtful" he answered.
