WOOL Is periodically II an unhealthy
condition; it prevents home mannfao-
turers from buying foreign wo0ls which
eoald Be used il the MIXTURE with
American Wools, and thus lessons the
demand for AmsFioan wool instead Of
inoEeasinR it. The Committee therefore
recommends that the resolution be laid
on The table. but that the prayer Of the
textile workers ia Philadelphia should
be granted. that The duty on wool
should BE- repealed and duties on wooden
manufactures be redussd 20 At least an
equal extent.
The adverse report Of TIE commlstss
upon wilkins resolution declaring
against any redaotion Of the duty on
wool is based on . letter written By
Chairman John Q. Smith. formerly 9
member Of Congress from Ohio and at
one time Commissioners Of Indian
Affairs. Mr.. Smith comments severely
on he letter written 10 the Secretary Of
the Treasury BY the COMMITTEES parpoEt-
