THE RESOLUTION
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The following
resolutions were adopted by the wool
conference:
The representatives of the national assO-
citation of wool manufacturers and of the
wool growers national association, speak
ing as they believe fer all persons engaged
in both these occupations in the United
States, without individual exceptions, pro-
claim anew their deep conviction that the
protection by tariff of the production Of
wool and of the manufacture OF wool is
demanded by the best Interests Of all the
American people.
The increase in the clip of American
wool from 60,264,9I8 pounds in 1879 to
500, 600, 1000 pounds in 1885, while the inn
ports Of foreign wool advanced only from
26,2S2, g35 pounds to 7~0,596,170 pounds
within the same period, demonstrates the
fact OF protective duties in sheen
hushaudry in this country, and in thus
adding to national prosperity and wealth.
The fact that the tariff on wool in 1888
WAS immediately toliowed 10y u uevrsasr
in the number of sheep in the country
from 56,266, 300 in 1884 to ~44,759,3l4 III
1887, gives warning that the abatement Of
duties IN wool would seriously cripple the
raising Of sheep in the country, which is
inc tuifd product IL Gsa:sit:s Sseass the
nations, aud would thus increase the price
Of wool all over the world while the con
sequent destruction of sheep would natu-
rally affect the supply and the price OF
meat and 10 a considerable degree Of ali
provisions.

consumption Of wool in the United State,
from 65, 749,635 pounds In 1853, to 424,-
404. 100 pounds IN 1885, under protective
tariff Is TO be attributed to the impetus
given to manufacturers by the raising Of
sheep In this country which in 1884 fur
nished 8l.3 DER cent OF al the wool con-
sumed hers. As the means 70 the deYel-
opment Of manufactures at home which
have entered SO largely into the Develop
Hient and civilization of our vast western
country, 1t deserves consistent and ade-
Quate encouragement In the adjustment Of
national revenue. Under the protective
policy the United States has become the
foremost manufacturing nation in The
world while rs agriculture has been exL
tended and diversified. Prudence forbids
the overthrow 81 i system Of revenue nm
dsr which sucl results hare been obtain
ed, while The wages Or laborers and the
share of production paid 10 American ar
tisans are far greater than In any other
country.
The committee here assembled ash for
the continuance OF protection 10 their own
industries only as they ask for considers
ton 70 every other branch Of American
productions. They plead for no favOrs n
particular interests, but for q broad nation
al policy essential 20 the well being Of ali
our produce and contributing to the pros.
perity and progress and power OF The re-
public. They know that the ah0IishiAg VI

These committees urge that no reason
can be shown why subsidies should be
offered for f0reign competition bva repeal
of reduction of the tariff and they sug-
gest that wisdom as wellas patriotism re-
Qulres TINT al American productions shall
have the fostering care Of the government
