THE WOOL SCHEDULE.
Schedule IL" relating TO cotton manu-
features, having been reached IL was
passed over informally and Schedule
TX" relating TO wool and manufactures
Of wool. was taken mp.
MR. CARLISLE FOR FREE WOOL.
All the paragraphs from 357 TO 36s re-
lating 10 raw wool having been read, MI.
Carlisle moved TO have them all struck out,
80 as 10 have wool put on the free list. he
did not expect his motion 10 be adopted,
but he considered it his duty TO offer 1t.
He argued at length in support OF his pro-
position, and urged that the same reason
which was used 10 justify putting sugar on
the free list applied equally to putting
wool on the free list--that was, that under
all the stimulus Of tariff duties its produc-
ton had not kept pace with the home de-
mand for wool. and that foreign WOOL was
necessary TO supply the demand.
A GENERAL TARIFF DISCUSSION.
The discussion, which was at first con-
fined to the question of the wool growing
industry of the United States and the
effect OF the tariff duties upon 1t. soon ex-
tended TO the general doctrines OF protec-
ton and free trade. II was carried on by
Messrs. Carlisle, Mcpherson, GRAY, and
Reagan on the Democratic side, and Messrs.
sherman. Aldrich, Stewart, and Dawes on
the Republican side. Mr.. Carllsles con-
tentIon was that the admission OF free
foreign wool would so assist the woollen
manufacturers as to stimulate ana largely
increase the growth of American wool, so
that eventually the country would become
independent of foreign-gIown WOOL: lie
was asked by Mr. Dawes If he could Tx
upon the time when that consummatlon
would take place, but Mr.. Carlisle declined
to hazard any prophecy III view OF the
failure of protectionist prophecies as to
the effect which that system would have
upon prices.

ed for suggestion TO adjourn. Mr..
Aldrich consented. but asked unanimous
consent TO have evening sessions next Mon
