THEY WANT FReE WOOL.

This Wool Consumers Association Desire
the Duty Abolished.
Boston, June IS The Wool Consumers
association have sent to the senate finance
committee at Washington a memorial in
which they say: 'For the protection of the
woolen manufacture of the country, and
for its rescue from a most hampered and
depressed condition, we ask for a great re-
ductiOn or the total abolition Of the duty
on WOOL The memorialists proceed with
an elaborate argument in favor Of this
proposition, In the course of which they
say.
"A free selection from many varieties OF
wool is essential for the manufacture Of
the cloths required by the trade, and the
exclusion of foreign wool SO interferes with
the necessary supply OF raw material as to
reduce rather than increase the quantity OF
American wool used
In conclusion the memorialists say: AS
all the wool grown in the world is now
wanted the American grower could hardly
be injured by the readjustment Of values.
If, at the worst, his product should fall
slightly in price he would be compensated
soon BY the larger and more certain de-
mand from the stimulated and increased
manufacture The demand for mutton il
IuItAiN lhtffAHiliEt anu Ilhti1A - dubthtu
in better quality by sheep which produce
long wool than by The breeds producing
short, fine wool. The half bred mutton
sleeps wool in the warp works admirably
with the rejected worsted fibers and the
Montevideo feeees IN the filling Thus the
mutton fiocks would be stimulated through
the importation Of free raw materials Tho
American consumer OF woolens and
worsteds would get better fabrics at prices
generally lower.n
