THE FREE WOOL DEBATE.
The wool discussion is taking an in
erstins turn, though it is, on the
whole, very tedious. Pat Collins, the
Irish mcmbc. from Boston, has made
tlc most elaborate speech thus far in
tbe debate. though Mr.. Wilson's is ex-
pertqI to surpass it in oratory, il not in
inumcnt. 4 funny thing happened
when Mr., Collins was speaking. He is
yerv GOOD naturcd and lets the opposi-
lion fire into him as often rs occasion
calls for lie has been interrupted by
Republicans several times and was ready
with some sort OF M answer each time,
which raised laugh generally il it did
not convince people. When he assert
ed that the removal OF the wool tariff
would not cheaper wool, Michigan
member Clipped in with little con-
uudrlm. He asked Mr.. Collins how it
was going to be possible to reduce the
price OF the poor mans blanket II the
price OF the raw material was to remain
Thcrc it now is. This was such n
Troublesome inquiry that the Boston
member said he preferred not to be in
;errupted. II is an astonishing fact that
Democratic gentlemen are asserting
at the expense Of their repu-
iation for having common sense-that
the price OF wool will not be reduced by |
the removal Of the wool import, while
in the same breath they say that cheaper
lw material is going to make cheaper
VoOlcn fabrics. 1t is surprising that
do not display greater per-
,inacity in holding up these contradict
Dry statements to the light. | under
stand our scholarly Mr.. Wilson will give
his attention to this phase OF the free
wool controversy.
