THE WOOL MANUFACTCRER
They Urge Retention Of the Present
just and Satisfactory Tariff.

New YORK, Jan. 12-The National As
soc!atiOn OF Wool Manufacturers began
their twenty-siIth annual meeting here
today. President Whitman declined re-
election and Rufus 5. Frost was chosen.
5. D. y. North. Of Boston, was chosen sec
rotary. The resolutions adopted decla
the belief OF the manufacturers that the
existing tariff has proved advantageous to
wool growers, manufacturers and con-
surners OF WOODEN goods. The proposed
economic change is not in response 10 any
demand from the industry represented, 80
per cent. OF the manufacturers Of the
country having joined in protesting
against the passage OF the free wool bill
now pending IN congress, and which pro-
test is reaif.med. The attention OF con-
gress IS invited 10 the fact that wooden
goods are manufactured near.y q year IN
advance of the season for whose wear they
are adopted, aud in consequence the only
law simultaneously removing duty on
wool Will compe the whole domestic pro-
ductIon OF the season manufactured from
duGy-paid Wool 10 compete II the markets
with foreign goods manufactured from Tree
wool. The Springer bill discriminates
doubly IN this respect By admitting aE re-
duced rates, simultaneous with the repeal
Of WOOL duties, al foreign goods imported

year should eiapse after the wool duties
disappear before the compensatory duties
are repealed.
The resolutions ask at the hand OF con.
gress the most careful examinations Of all
the conditions surrounding the industry
IN this and other countries; assert that
experience has shown that simple adj
ya.orem duties are invariably accompanied
by systematic underyalualions, and urge
upon congress the i'm portance OF main
tanning a specific form OF duty or some
part OF ii in the schedule. They protest
against any measure OF tariff revision
which singles out particular industry.
