PROTECTION DEMANDED. a
COLUMBUS, O, March 9.-President y
Harpston, of the Ohio Woclgrowers As a
S, citation, has issued lengthy address to 4
the wool growers of the state and nation.
in which he says there has been no time
in thirty years when the farmer suffered
so much from low prices for farm products Il
as now. He explains the cause of this r
condition. and says:
"The object of this address is to ask 1
the farmers of the county to appeal to y
the president to put speedy end to the
monstrous frauds now being perpetrated
in importing wool. and an appeal to our II
of congress to aid in the same e
work, and to speedily pass wool tariff
law that will give wool manufacturers b
and wool growers the exclusive privilege a
of supplying all the woolen goods and {
wool required for use in tie United
States" Il
Considerable space is devoted to alleged h
frauds in the importation of wool, and he a
says: a
'.If these frauds and this low rate of r
duty continues imports will largely in h
crease. The importation OF 90,000,0 900 e
pounds last year, mostly secured, were q
equivalent at least to 1G0. 100000 of un h
washed, and is equal to one fourth of all \
the wool consumed in the United States. r.
This is practically free wool, and unless G
the duty Is increased these imports will
be largely increased and destroy our a
American wool Industry" d
Harpston concluded Us follows: "This a
address is deered proper, in view of the q
fact, not generally known, of the per p
sistent efforts being made to secure just G
and ample protection for manufacturers. a
but to deny the same measure of pro- r
lection for farmers" :.
