WOOL GROWERS MEMORIAL.


WASHINGTON, Dec. THE National
Wool Growers Association to-day adopted
the memorial to be presented to Congress
next Monday for the relief OF the wooden
industry. The document is lengthy one,
drawn up by President Lawrence, Of Ohio,
and a committee, and was finally Endorsed,
with some notifications. unanimously. The
memorial shows that since the Mckinley
act OF 1890 was passed the prices OF wool
have declined in the markets of the world
some per cent, and that this created the
necessity for protective duties which did not
exist even when the Mckinley act was
passed. 1t asserts that this act was in
tended to give a duty Of IL cents per pound
on unwashed merino wool, double on
washed and triple on secured; that the wool
manufacturers succeeded in getting incor-
porated in the act OF 1890 provision known
as the ''skirting clause" which, with the
shrinkage in the securing Of Australian
woods. practically defes the protective pur-
poses OF the act Of 1880 so that the pro-
visional duty of IL cents per pound is only
equivalent to cents on Ohio washed me-
rfno in competition with Australian wool.
and that the duty Of the act OF 1890 OF 80
cents on secured per pound of merino wool
affords a practical protection Of only 1874
cents per pound. Also that the importation
Of China wool. which completes with merino
wool and wool Of the mutton breeds, was
imported during the last fiscal year
to the amount OF 26,000,000 pounds, at
an import price OF little over 5 cents per
pound. This is said to be a new source of
supply OF foreign wool since the Mckinley
act was passed. and American wool growers
present rate OF duty. The memorial there
fore asks for duty on merino woods and
woods of the mutton breeds of sheep
or ~ cents per pound on unwashed,
double on washed and triple on
secured, thus making but one class
OF these two kinds Of wool. 1t asks for
class woods without reference to valuation
IL declares that these rates OF duty are alb
solutely necessary 10 save the American
wool industry from ruin. The memorial
says that with $50 majority In the House
of Representatives in favor of protection II
cannot escape the duty of speedily giving
consideration. to this subject, and quotes
message in which he says he is ready to CO.
operate with Congress in providing a meas
ure of relief for the treasury.
Sixteen States were represented In the
association. The memorial Is signed by
William Lawrence, president; Frank p
Reporter; A. E: Shepard. of Texas; Calvin
Cowgirl, of Indiana, T. b. Catron, of New
Mexico; Il. l.. Crouch, Of Texas: NJ. +
Greedy, of South Dakota; Joseph Tweedy, Of
Texas; j. r. Dodge and w. L. Wieder, Of
Colorado. These gentlemen compose the
committee which Will present the memoria
to Congress.
