DUTY ON woLLEN Gooas.
Returning to the WOODEN schetl
ulc, Mr.. Mills said Thai the blll
proposed to reduce The duties OH
wooden goods ard take the tax OH
the wool that was not raised by
skilled labor and scarcely by any
labor at ALL 1t grew on The sheep.
The sheep produced it. He had
heard much sympathy expressed
for the Sheep. The Democratic
| party's sympathy was for men, not
sheep. Applause. 1tispropos' d
/ To bring down the price of WOODEN
clothing so that the poor people
could get it to wear in winter time.
The people today were compelled
to wear carpet wool instead OF
clothing wool, and now The wool
growers and wool manufacturers
came to an agreement that the
duty should he so high that no
wool and no WOODEN goocs could he
brought in. I!e SUPPOSED THAT the
people Could afford to go liked e, but
for him and his party he 9'.ould say:
Wear good clothes and vote the
Democratic ticket" Wool had
oeen put upon he free list not on
y to cheaper the clothing OF the
people but in order that our work.
men might have the making ofthe
S44 1000, 600 worth of wo1!en goods
that were imported in t.lis coun
try. 1t was proposed to ct all the
wool the people require'' come III
free and let our OWL people make
the WOODEN goods.
This would increase tie demand
for labor, and in Thus Increasing
the demand for labor increase the
rate OF wages. The greai central
! truth in thus bill was flla- it WAS n
hill to benefit the condition and in.
crease the wages Of the laboring
people. We were the greatest
manufacturing people in Ghe world,
the greatest agriculture, people in
the world, The most skilled people
IN the world. the most Intelligent
and smartest and bes! looking
people in the world, aud ali we
wanted was for or Government to
take its meddiing hand out of our
business. All the people wanted
was to have the Government rell
them how much it needed for its
support aud then let their business
alone. Let the people have free
raw material in order that they
might reduce the cost OF the pro-
duct, for the cost of the product
was to determine tue standing OF
the market. Ii the people of the
United States could pio,:ace pro.
duct cheaper titan ans o'her peo
pie they would capture the mar
kets. The manufactures OF this
country should have the raw ma
terial free, and thus y" placed on
the same basis as manufacturers Of
other countries.
AFREE FIELD WANTED.
The American manufacturer
should have free fcldai.i an open
fight. The Democrats pare going
to give il 10 him, without trying to
fry the TAT cut of anybody. They
did not propose to detiuch the
American people in order to buy
their Judgment at the polls. They
intendeG &c go before IL. country
and appeal to the judsnenta and in:
telligence and virtue of The people,
and they would appeal in the Con-
fident reliance that the people
would speak, as they had always
spoken, for the welfare and pros
perity OF the country.
