cnrcfui inquiry throughout tne repuuh-
can side OF the house of representatives

to restore at least portion OF the duty
on wool and increase the duties on the
entire schedule OF woolen goods.

ton asked for Il cents pound on I'M
washed meriuos "a cents on washed and
&c cents on secured, with duty of
| cents pound on carpet wools. such,
| duty would have to be accompanied py
! compensatory rate of Is cents on the
higher grades of woolen AMI worsted
| cloths IN addition to the protective duty
| imposed by The recent tatlu act
| The wo5l-grOwers' association and the
manufacturers of WOODEN goods nave
gether. The latter would be perfectly
willing to have the duty on raw WOODS
| Increased, as suggested, provided they
! receive the compensation of an equiva-
lent amount. In fact, they would be Will
Ing TO have merino WOODS taxed as hlGh
as ~ cents pound If they could get II,
50 high duty as GEMS a pound upon
| carpet woods, because they have 10 com
