Charge It Up To Them.

The following resolutions passed by the Wool Convention recently held in Albuquerque, composed of men of all parties, are respectfully referred to the speakers in the late Democratic con- vention:
 WHEREAS, We, men of all parties, here in convention assembled, firmly believe that the wool growing and sheep raising interests of these United States cannot be maintained withoat protec- tion, and,
 WHEREAS, We view with alarm the recent attempt in Congress to place wool upon the free list as fatal blow at our industry. We hereby unani- mously protest against it; and,
 WHEREAS, The continual political agitation of the subject renders unset tied and uncertain the whole industry, both in its manufacturing and produc- ing branches; therefore,
 Resolved. That We ask that such agi- tation cease until the present law has been thoroughly tested; and, be it further
 Resolved, That the present tariff law is the best measure for the protection of the wool grower and sheep husband man that could be gained through the concession of other interests and eu- acted into law, and we hereby most emphatically endorse the present tariff law and pledge ourselves to stand by its maintainance until we can obtain better.
 Resolved, That by reason of the duty put upon shoddy, which duty be- ing almost prohibitory, has so stimu- lated the manufacture of that article in this country that it is largely entering into our manufactures to the exclusion of wool; therefore. that we demand of our Congress law compelling all manufacturers to stamp their goods ..shoddy," to the extent that shoddy is contained therein; and we demand that the manufacturer of shoddy should be taxed, as the manufacture of oleomar- garine now is.
 Resolved, That the interstate law does not prevent discrimination in the transportation of commodities, and therefore should be so amended and perfected that it will attain the end sought by its enactment.
 Resolved, That the railroad con- panies be requested to reduce the min- mum weight on single deck car of sheep to 5000 pounds, and on double deck to 16,o00 pounds; and express companies be requested to reduce the present almost prohibitory charges on live stock, so that improved breeding stock may be shipped at less cost, and thus encourage it's more general use and introduction.
 WHEREAS, Sheep stealing has be- come prevalent; therefore.
 Resolved. That we do hereby pledge ourselves to offer such rewards for the detection and punishment of sheep thieves as will insure safety to our interests, and we recommend that the legislatures of the states and territories interested, pass laws authorizing their respective governors to offer reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of any sheep thief.
 WHEREAS, The loss annually sus- tained by the flocks of the west through the depredations of wolves and coyotes and the great loss inflicted opon the focks of the east by dogs, is immense therefore, be it
 Resolved, That we demand of oui legislatures the enactment of uniform and effective bounty laws for the ex. termination of wolves and coyotes and also laws for the taxation and re straint of dogs.
 | The immeasurable loss annually sus tained by flock masters through tn, prevalence of scab in the herds through out the range country, demands tn, enactment of laws of general applica tion that will, in their enforcement eradicate this disease. Therefore, W, demand of our legislatures the enact ment of such laws as shall be uniform and effective.
 Resolved, That when we adjourn l be to meet in Chicago during the sheel r show there next fall, the date to b : fixed by our executive committee an, that our eastern friends be asked t , meet and take part with us.
