This association Is the oldest one Of
the kind in the country and i has here
tofore been worked for all il was worth
in the interest Of a high protective duty
on wool. The meetings ~ the asSocia-
ton were in the habit ~ passing the
usual resolutions favo-inr hivh duties.
and petitions were circulated only last
year asking for the immediate paSsag re"
Of the Mckinley bill
Mr. Norton in lettcrto the editor ~
the New York standard says: Many

with this course. but II any one offered
the slightest remonstrancc he was

II is interesting 10 note that the TWO
counties in which this great change
has taken place were thoroughly can
vassed BY the New York Reform club
last year. Representatives Of the clab
made forty-three speeches in the two
counties. six Of these being joint de-
bates Besides this tariff reform litera-
ture was distributed at the meetings
and large number Of documents were
sent by mail ~ the farmers Of the swo
counties. Already this work j. bearing
fruit
When the wool-grower~ themselves
turn against the wool tax surely that
tax j. doomed
