DON'T WANT FRHB WOOL.
Hon, Columbus DeIano's Speech
Before the National
WOOL GROWERS ASSOCIATION
The Feature ortho Day-some Facts
and Figures for Free Traders to
Think ABout-The Wool Indus
try Wants Fair Treatment

WASHINGTON, D, O., Dec, 4,-At the
wool growers meeting committee tc
prepare an address to the wool growers
Of the United States was appointed
Judge Lawrence, Of Ohio, delivered an
address upon tue subject OF wool grow
ing In the United States,
The feature Of to'day's meeting was the
address OF Hon. Columbus Delano, Of
Ohio, President Of the National Wool
Growers Association, He began by
saying that both goods and
clothing should be produced at
home, but not purchased from
abroad, when the people who con.
sume them have facilities for their
production, Necessity alOnecan Justify
their importation. Continuing he said;
Suppose the nation involved in war,
foreign or domestic, OF serious dimen'
sions, like that for example, OF the late
rebellion; suppose our commerce was
embarrassed as II was vt that tiuie; sup.
pose our demand for wool was no greater
than at that time, and suppose that free
trade had destroyed the sheep industry
and turned over 70 foreign nations the
production OF our wool and we may be
able to appreciate the folly, II not the
crime, Of attempting to put wool ON the
free list"
Influenced by the act OF 1885," he
continued, "wool growing angulshes
throughout the United States, anl with.
out relief 1t must soon perish. Ia Texas
the wool clip Of 1883 wis Of tho value Of
50, ,22S,93i. In 1887 II was S5,Ol6,674,
showing a loss OF S4,2ll, 500. lsit deslr.
able 70 extinguish the industry best
adapted to this vast section under the
cry Of free trade or 'freG wUol?'
"Who will be benefited bya policy so
unwiseH None except foreign nations.
Under the influence Of the act OF 1883
our annual clip has been reduced tllty.
five million pounds, while 1t should have
increased At tho rate OF two per cent an.
nualIyutO keep pace with the natural
growth Of the country"
The speaker read statistics tending TO
show the necessity Of protection in
order to preserve tile wool industry, and
then said: "No further argument is
needed 10 prove that free wool Is death
TO this industry, aud who, prelerring the
interests OF this nation To those OF for.
eign nations, will fail TO regret 80 serious
blow to our wool growers and to the
nation at large as free wool will lnlllct,
aud none but those under influence OF
personal interest or traditional preju.
dices will fall to admit that the
attempt to put wool on the free list is an
economic blunder. To these who favor
free trade as our true policy, | address
no protest against free wool. From
their standpoint they are right. lit be
free trade, let US have 1t as a system,
pure and simple without the adultera.
ton Of dupliuity under the name Of in.
cidental protection. Let US do one or
the other, aud have an economic policy
that Is entitled to an honest and correct
name.

A Large Increase for the Next Year Al.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. Dec. 4.-There is
every indication that next years output
Of iron and steel in this district will
exceed that Of the present year,
There are also undoubted indications
that prices will not be reduced, and it is
possible that they will range higher.
This prediction Is based on indications
which are considered by expsrts to be
always reliable.
1t was learned to-day that Pittsburgh
blast furnace owners have purchased a
larger tonnage OF orc for next years de,
livery than ever before. The practice
In previous years Of buying ores in Jan
uary and February has seldom been de
parted from until this year, but 1t Is nov
estimated that contracts for l,000,00I
tons OF Begemer ore for tho furnaces o
this district have been placed, and that
Too, at an advance Of about 81 per tnl
over this years prices. The indications
are that early next year u still tnrthe
advance will be made.
