Convention Of the Wool Interest.

convention OF the WOOL Interests.
WASHINGTON, D. O., January 1.-The con-
ference of representatives of the various
branches of wool interest has adopted the
following resolutions:
The representatives of the national asso-
citation Of wool manufacturers and of the
wool growers association, speaking as they
believe for all the persons engaged in both
these occupations in the United States with
only individual exceptions, proclaim anew
their deep conviction that the protection by
tariff of the production of wool and of the
best interests of all the American people.
The increase in the clip of American wool
from 6O,264,913 in 1859 to 302,-
OOO, 600 pounds in 1885 while the
imports of foreign wool advanced only from
26, 282, 935 pounds 10 70, $50, ITO pounds within
the same period, demonstrates the effect of
protective duties in promoting sheep hus-
to national prosperity and wealth. The fact
that the reduction of the tariff on wool in
1888 was Immediately followed by a decrease
in the number of sheep in the country from
80, GIG, 626 in 1884 to A, 55S,34 in 1887 gives
warning that the abolition of the duties
on wool would seriously cripple the raising of
sheep in tkis' country, which is the third pro-
would thus increase the price of wool
all over the world, while the con-
sequent destruction of sheep would
materially affect the supply and tho
price of wool and to considerable extent of
all productions, and inasmuch as the man
ufacturers furnished in 1880, 81.9 per cent.
of wooden goods consumed in the United
States, although in 1860, only 62.S per cent.
Of such goods were produced in this coun-
try, no reduction in the tariff can be neces-
sary to afford the American people full
supply and abundant competition in fabrics
which enter into use in every family and for
which the prices for like qualities compare
favorably with those In foreign countries.
