Section II is a modification Of section !, 1876.
revised statutes The present sctioa pro-
viIes that articles in violation Of registered
trademark shall no, be admitted 10 entry. IL
does not prohibit their importation or pre-
scribe their Forfeiture and the result Is that
snch goris eau only be taseu possession Of BY
the collector as unclaimed, retainet the re-
quired length OF time, and sold, which course
affects their distribution In this country IN
direct CONFIRMATION OF the intent OF the
statute. The domestic interests sought Ia be
protected are thus compelled to buy them up
la order to protect themselves Ii Is proposed
By this amendment 70 admit such articles to
entry or expectation only within three
months OF their importation: otherwise that
they be forfeited.
The enormous growth OF this industry was
stimulated by the wool tariff Of 1861, and
was in q prosperous condition prior To the
act of 1883 Since then the Industry has di
unfinished in alarming proportions, and the
business has neither been satisfactory nor
profitable. The committee have given 10 this
industry, universally distributed through
out the country, the most careful and pains
taking consideration, and have recommended
an advance OF duties which 1t is believed Will
afford ample protection to the farmers OF the
country engaged in wool growing.
BY tue proposed bill the duties on first and
second class woods are made at II and l2
N nj nd
lsting law On third class wool, costing II
cents or less, the duty is raised from 2ls cents
pound TO 81 cents, and upon woods Of the
third class, costing above IL cents, the duty
recommended is an advance from to cents
per pound.
The bill which passed the senate in lsss-s9
made the dividing line on third class woods at
IL cents, with the same rates OF duty upon all
classes OF wool, except third class costing less
than II cents. as herein recommended. The
senate fixed the duty upon that grade at
cents, while the committee recommend 81
cents. II is believed, however, that with the
restrictions, definitions and classifications,
and the addition OF port charges to the
foreign cost recommended in the proposed
bill, this difference will be fully compensated.
the bill seeks to stop the frauds which have
