sections read as follows:
SEQ O. That the administration of President
Cleveland has taken an advanced position in
carrying forward the principles Of civil service
reform and driving out the corrupt combna.
tions that have for years defrauded the peoples
treasury. For this, and in establishing a purer
government, President Cleveland is emnently
deserving of the thanks and support of the
people.
Is, sic 4 .ns That we especially approve Of ' the
dent In which he urged repeal
Of unnecessary taxes now borne by ths
people, and called attention In forcible man.
fF 81
and we approve OF his emphatic declaration
that congress should so adjust the tariff
schedules as TO bring no injury To our industrial
interests.
SEC g. That we extend our congratulations
to the democrats In the House ON their success
in perfecting such a bill as that which they
passed on July 81. The difficulties which sur
round the preparation OF the tariff bill and the
success attained on the reduction of taxation
aud the removal OF the great burdens now borne
by the manufacturers and mechanics as pro-
posed by that bill, meets with our approval.
SEQ. g. Woolen manufactured goods TO tho
amount Of $45, 10000 as valued in Europe. and
costing our people SS0, ,000, ,0o0 were imported
into this country during the last fiscal year. In
eight months Of the present year the importation
or these woolen goods, owing TO the lanRuish-
ing condition Of the woolen mills here have in
creased 81. ,0y2, as comrared with the same
time last year. Under the present tariff dutiee
our workmen arc made TO suffer by this In
creasing importation Of foreign cloths. In the
cost of S45 600 600 worth of these goods last year
were worth OF BFitlSn i6DOr, which
should have been paid to the 10000 people In
our wooen factories and which will be paid to
them IN the future If raw wool is imported free
of duty.
