MORRISON'S MANIA. :
HIS TARIFF. REDUCTION IDEAS
a Serious Blew at American Industries, aud
Seemingly Especially Aimed to Catch
wheeling aud VlOinity-TalkS with
some LSAdiug Manufacturers.

The gist Of the Morrison Tariff bill, Al
1t bears upon the interests Of this section
printed in yesterdays ISTRLLIdRNcER
was perused with great interest by the
general public here, but by no one more
eagerly than by the persons most directly
and seriously affected by any alteration ol
the tariff laWs-the manufacturers OF iron,
glass and earthenWare. Reporters inter
viewed leading representatives Of all
these classes Of manufacture yesterday, and
the result was the disGovery Of an over
Whslming sentiment Of dlsapproval OF the
proposed reduction OF the duties on GER
tain imports, Manufacturers have little
fear, rs q general thing, tina! the bill will
pass, but all deplore the constant attempts
to pass similar measures through Con-
greas, declaring that the mere disposition
to reduce the tariff, manifested at every ses.
sion OF Congress, does grave harm.
The gentlemen whose opinions were OBJ
tanned In nearly every instance expressed
the belief that the duty on their special
product was low as II ought to be under
the act OF 1852, as low as II could be placed
without wreakinr disaster on the manu-.
featuring interest, The prevailing dispo.
sition here Is to "let well enough alone"
While majority Of those quoted below
would like to see the duty Increased, all
prefer to allow the tariff to remain as it is,
rather than to be constantly tampering
with it, and increasing with each altera-
tion the unfair inequalities which now
exist,
rhe opinions given in detail hereafter
are those OF intelligent, experienced mill
operators and manufacturers, all well
qualified to Judge Of the matters OF which
tney speak, and their liberal views and
honest expressions are manifest in the
talks quoted.

NEw YoRI, Feb. 1.-THE convention
Of the American Agricultural and Dairy
Association was opened this morning by
the reading Of a paper by Mr.. sato, Of
Japan, upon "ths SgraTian system
Of Japan, past, present and future"
In the course Of his remarks he
said that out Of a total population Of
100000 the farming population OF
Japan numbers l5O00000. During the
past ten years improved breeds oLhones,
cattle and sheep have been introduced
with good results. The farmers live pNin.
cipally upon cereals and fruits, Oats,
corn, barley, wheat and rice are the chief
grains produced, rice, Of course, being the
largest,
Congressman 7, T. Glass, OF Tennessee,
read paper entitled, "What we have
done ior agriculture and what agriculture
has done for u.s." He said that the United
States appropriates less for agricultural
purposes than any other country, swit1sr-
land excepted. France annually appro.

Russia Sll 100000, Austria Sl,5OO, 900,
Great Britain S795,0OO, Japan Sl,OOO,0OI,
Swift srlaud Sl42,0OO, and the United
States S859, 1000.
Mr.. Glass mentioned that the amount
appropriated by Congress ior the advance
ment Of agriculture was too small to be OF
material benefit. The agricultural popu-
lation was but 81 percent Of the entire
population, Mr.. Glass advocated the es-
tablishIns Of agricultural stations ior ex-
penmental purposes,
AT the afternoon session Charles A.
Witmore, OF California, spoke Of the wine
industry Of the United States. His State
he said, was producing annually l60OO, 900
gallons Of wine in addition to great guam
titles OF ralsins. Within three years, the
speaker thought, the wine production
would reach G0,0OO,0O0 gallons. France to.
day imports more wine than any other
country. She cannot make enough to
supply the demand. California In few
years would be shipping wine to France il
the present conditions should continue.
There Is practically no limit to the terri.
tory upon which grapes could be raised.
Resolutions were passed recommending
q Cabinet officer for agriculture and en-
dorsiug Senator Oullom's bill regulating
Interstate commerce.
