day or two ago in order to gain more thor
ough understanding of the hosiery business
of the State and the effect upon it of the
present agitation Of the tariff question as
represented by the Mills bill. He found the
Democratic mill proprietors solidly opposed
to the Mills bill and its party, because what
ever benefit woolen manufacturers might get
from free wool would be more than Offset by
the reduction of duty on the manufactured
goods and they would have to quit business.
Talks with these gentlemen showed that
they would vote for Harrison and Morton.

for the benefit of the manufacturers. He
