FREE CARPET wOOLs,
Eastern Manufacturers Want the Duty
Taken on,

AWhNA SAt
BosToS, Sept, 1.-THE Executive Com
mittee Of the National Association OF
Wool Manufacturers is in session here
to-day, The question OF free carpet
wool Is one Of the principal topics un-
der discussion. No action has yet been
taken, but the Association Quarterly
BLllelin, lust published, says editorially:
at is admitted that the 1867 duties upon
carpet wools were not designed 10 serve
as protective duties, but were imposed
for purely revenue purposes, We can
not subscribe TO the claim now made
that conditions have so changed IN
twenty years that protective duty is
now desirable and would be advanta-
geous, The argument is that the condi.
tlons then existing, which removed all
necessity for a protective duty on car
pet wools have been increased and In
tensi6ed by the lapse Of time. A
prohibitory or high protective duty on
the carpet grades would not lead 10 the
production In this country OF woods
similar to those now imported Tor this
purpose, Manufacturers would be 1usti-
hedin insisting thatthe low grade car
pet wooIs shall go upon the free list.
These low grades carpet woods are almost
the only raw material upon which a
revenue duty was Imposed when the
Government needed the money, tIom
which 1t IL not since been removed, or
II is not there in the Senate tarit bill
TO remove it. The argument
in favor OF free carpet woods Is vastly
stronger than that which was made for
free hides. The difficulty In the way Of
giving the manufacturer the full benefit
Of the principal arises from the trouble
in securing at the custom houses the
necessary for the preven-
tion OF funds. We hold this difficulty
to be the only valid argument that can
be urged against the free admission OF
carpet wools." The proceedings OF the
Executive Committee are private.
