bill. 1t is intended as sample
of democratic reform, and as such
will be welcomed by republicans.
When this bill was under considera
tion in committee some things occurred
which may well be recalled to mind.
At first the intention of the committee
was to make wool free and to cut off
only the duties on woolen goods which
were imposed as compensation for the
duties on wool, leaving the manu-
facture exactly the measure of pro-
lection that it has enjoyed. Such was
the democratic pretense, but it was
quickly shown that abolition of the
compensatory specific duties would in
reality take away large part of the
protection for the manufacture, leav-
ing only ad valorem duties, which can
be easily and almost indefinitely evaded.
Not content with this, southern mem
bers of the committee insisted upon
even greater reduction in the duties on
wooden goods. They were confronted
at once by some of the most experienced
and competent democratic manufacture
ers in the country, who told the COM
mittee that such d reduction would be
fatal to the industry. The abolition of
all the specific duties, they declared,
was of itself more than the industry
could safely stand To make further
reductions in the ad valorem duties also
would close hundreds of works, de-
prive many thousand workers of sub
sistence and cripple the production in
this country SO that the domestic de-
mand for wool would be ruinously
diminished These influential demo-
Gratis warned their political associates
that they would drive great host of
voters away from their party by ex-
cessive reduction of duties and would
sacrifice all that the party had gained
in New England and other states by
adroitly recommending tariff reform"
to voters instead of the principles OF
free trade But all expostulation was
in vain. The southern democrats in
sisted, the specific duties were taken
off and part of the ad valorem duties
besides; and, as if to make the bill even
more offensive, shoddy and waste were
also admitted free of duty to destroy
the market for American wool.
This is the bill which democrats Will
have to meet next fall. 1t will every
where be taken as an Interpretation OF
their demands for tariff reform. Voters
will rightly reason that, if the demo-
cratic party obtains the power, ~ Will
not only enact the wool and Boolens
tariff substantially as 1t has cone from
