THE FEE WOOL BILL AGAIN,
The House went into Committee of the
/ Whole on the Free Wool bill, Mr.. Goodnight.
/ of Kentucky. addressing the House IN favor
of the measure He SAID:
our tariff laws seemed 10 be out of Joint.
! Year after year we paid millions IN extending
and cheapening and freeing commerce on our
rivers and lakes. If the protection theory be
correct then instead OF removing sanQ-pars,
lelpes and waterfalls. we should build them
higher If Republican philosophy be correct
we should build dams until Niagara appears
in every river He ridculed the hOme-market
idea and said our agricultural products must
vet be sold at foreign prices and more OF II
| shippel away than eyer before. The reel
+ procity countries took only nominal amounts,
and thus the ahsurdlty OF present RECIPROCITY
was demonstrated.
MIR, Spodqrass. Of Tennessee, being granted
FIVE minutes by Mr. Goodnight and digres-
siug entirely from the tariff. spoke against
the appropriation of 80, 900, 900 for the World s
Fair and said the members Of Congress who
| voted for that measure would Violate thel
/ oath of Office.

protection the price of wool had increased

most prosperous before that law was
passed. was now avoided by prudent
men. The result Of protecting the WOOL
Growers was the reduction OF the prlce OF
domestic WOODS. There never was time
when so much bogus wool was sold IN Amerl
csn markets As the wool market had Deer

Mr.. Warner replied that the census oil lS.l
included some matters not included IN lo,U
The price of wool has gone down 10 meet tn
demand of the gentlemen who call themselye
the Wool Manufacturers Association OF th
United States who caused such an ADJUST
