On this question of free wool nothing
could shake the solid Democratic column.
The senators from Texas were appealed
to by kilograms from representative men
In the great state to give them some
protection, but IN vain. Brice was, as
has been shown, adamantine in his
firmness against any such appeal, al.
though Ohio is the greatest wool pro-
ducing state in the union. According
to the statement Of the department of
agriculture there were in Ohio on Feb.
10, 1893, 4,37S,7 sheep, while in Texas
the number was 4,334, 537, but the value
of the sheep in Ohio was more than dou.

while those in Texas where valued at
$6,924, ,445.
All that it was necessary for Brice to
do was to state his desire for duty on
wool, as he joined German in doing for
a duty on iron ore and coal, and this
great industry of the state of Ohio
would not now be in the languishlng
condition it finds itself. But SO far
from doing this was he that he showed
his determined hostility to the duty by
insisting on recording his vote against
it at every opportunity. = Mansfield

dustry Of wool, and the determination
Of the Democratic party, and especially
Senator Brice. not to permit anything
but free wool to pass in the Wilson bill,
we have examined the Congressional
Record, and from that official document
give briefly the facts as they occurred.
On June 15, 1894, the tariff bill was
being considered in the senate in com.
mittee Of the whole, and the wool sched-
ule having been reached. the Republican
senators made stand for some duty on
that important article.
The Record.
The first proposition of the Republic
ans was to insert in the bill the wool
provisions of the Mckinley law entire,
leaving the duty as it then existed.
While the vote on this amendment was
being taken Senator Brice announced
his pair with Mr.. Wolcott, but said: 81
transfer my pair with the junior senator
from Colorado (Mr. Velocity to the
junior senator from Wisconsin (Mr.
Mitchell), so that the senator from Wy.
oming (Mr. Carey) and may vote. I
vote nay" This speech, repeated sew
eral times, was the only one Senator
Brice made on the wool question during
the entire tendency Of the bill. The
amendment was rejected by the vote of
81 nays to 80 yeas, the Populists joining
the Democrats in voting against it, and
the Republicans voting solidly for it.
An amendment was then offered to
allow a duty about one.third less than
the rate fixed by the Mckinley law, but
this was defeated by the same vote, Mr..
Brice repeating his speech and voting
nay.
1t was then proposed to allow one.half
the Mckinley rate. On this amend
ment the Populists united with the Re-
publicans, but it was rejected by the
close vote of 35 nays to 33 yeas. Mr..
Brice again transferred his pair to vote
in the negative. If he had favored even
this small duty and voted for it the re-
suit would have been tie.
Senator Sherman, wishing to secure
if possible some duty ON wool, then
offered an amendment to allow 40 per
cent on the value of the wool, but this
was also rejected by vote of 35 nays to
90 yeas, Mr.. Brice still voting in the
negative.
l. Mr.. Sherman then modified his
amendment, substituting 80 for 40 per
cent In offering this amendment he
called the attention of the Democrats to
the fact that even the Walker tariff of
1848, the pride and boast of their party,
allowed duty Of 80 per cent on wool,
and he made an earnest appeal to the
Democratic senators to give the farmers
the benefit Of at least this small duty,
but it was Of no avail, the vote being "a
nays TO 30 yeas. Mr.. Brice still voting
nay.
Sherman's Efforts.
On the Sd of July, the consideration
of the bill in the committee Of the whole
having been concluded, it was in the
senate and the final vote on its passage
was about to be taken. At this stage
Mr. Sherman made another effort for .
duty on wool He renewed his amend
ment to allow 80 per cent and made an
earnest appeal in support OF it. He said
lie was III hopes Of attracting at least
one or two Democratic votes, and thus
secure some protection to wool. He
