Especial Dispatch to the Enquirer

COLUMBUS, OHIO, January 13.-The
Wool-Growers' Association, pursuant
to adjournment last evening, convened
in the office of the State Board of Agri-
culture this evening and adopted the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That the wool-growers of
Ohio continue to demand the restora-
ton of the tariff on woods as fixed by
the act of 1857 or its equivalent; and in
proof Of the necessity of such restora-
tion we point:
1. To the fact that the importation
of foreign wool has greatly increased
since the passage of the act of 1898, and
especially during the last six months.
2. To the fact that the price of wool
has greatly diminished under this
legislation.
8. To the fact that the number of
sheep in Ohio has decreased in the last
year not less than 2S9, 1852, as shown by
the official returns of the Auditor of
State, and the production of wool in
the State not less than |, 800, 900 pounds
ty of the sheep and the improvement
the present price of wool is less than
the cost of production in the United
States.
Resolved, That we view with alarm
the publications and efforts now being
made to place wool on the free list un-
der false but plausible pleas in favor of
free raw materials. Wool is the finish
ed product of an industry which en-
ploys not less than $500, ,000,0 900 of eapi-
tai, and not less than 100000 of peo-
pie, and while the Honorable Secretary
of the Treasury has not said so in def
mite terms, we fear that such spec,ous
arguments may have found lodgment
in his mild and that of members of
Congress; therefore be it
Resolved. That committee CT five
be appointed to proceed to Washington
and represent to him, and to memoers
of Congress, the views of Ohio WOOL
growers on this question.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to prepare for publication pro-
lection literature: Hon. J. D. Taylor,
Colonel J. HI. Brigham, Hon. G. Delano,
M. J. Lawrence, F. G. Stanley and R.
P. Hile.
The following ramed persons were
appointed as a committee to go to
Washington to importune Congress in
the interests of wool-growers: Column
bus Delano, George L. Converse, J. D.
Taylor, w. N. Cowden, David Harps-
ter.
The association adopted resolution
thanking Secretary Manning for his
faithful and earnest efforts to collect
duties fixed by law on imported merch-
andise.
The association recommends the ap-
pointment of w. N. CowdeD, of Quaker
City, Ohio, by the Secretary of the
Treasury to look after the assignment
of Donskoi wool recently assigned at
New York City for alleged violation of
the revenue laws, with the view of pro-
tecting the Treasury and enforcing the
proper collection of the revenue.
The association also recommended
the permanentappointment ofa Gener-
al Inspector of imported woods for the
same purpose with future assignments.

disagreeable disease, liable, if neg
