ton and Wyoming Of all tho other
states, there are 10 votes favorable to
free wool and 20 in favor of dutiabia
wool, giving a total Of 81 votes for pro-
tected WOOL and 81 votes for freq wool
in the United States senate AL further
analysis Of the north er1i1 states would
show that the wool prod ing states are
not fairly represented inag the senate by
reason of the solid southern vote against
dutiable wool, they being among the
smallest producers Of sheep and wool III
all the territory of the United States
The estimated wool product Of, 1898
was S01 1900, 900 pounds, The southern
states Aproduced off, unwashed, wool 20
per cent? Of the washed wool, III per
cent. The Pacific states produced of
unwashed wool 81 per cent, and of
washed wool S6 per cent All the 9TH,
er states produced Of the washed wool
So per cent and Of the unwashed 40 per
cent twill be, seen that the southern
states, in their representation in the
United States senate, with the control
hing vote0f the senate s majority, only
represent about one-ffth Of the entire
wool interest Of the whole United
States Thus it will be seen that four
fifths Of the interest in this great agri-
cultural business Of the United States
are made to suffer by the action Of this
small producing minority. an

had reference directly i'll his remarks to
the income tax feature Of the Wilson
bill. He might have very, properly said:
