The following committee was appointed to
present TO congress the memorial OF the
farmers congress under course o, prepara-
ton: Messrs. h. f. Clayton OF Iowa, T.
J. Clardy OF Kentucky, W. b. Powell Of
Pennsylyania and William Lawrence OF Ohio,
PROTECTION FOR THE FARMERS.
The memorial which is to be presented to
the congress and which was adopted without
change is being written by Judge Lawrence.
chairman OF the committee. The memorial
covers the whole subject OF protective duties
relating to agricultural interests 1t quotes
from the address Of President Clayton OF the
congress, the statistics which he gave show
ing the operation Of the Wilson tariff bill
as compared with the Mckinley bill OF 1890.
1t then says that in order to give effect to
the policy Of protection three things are to
be observed:
First-That American farmers can supply
nearly all farm products in sufficient amount
to meet the needs OF the American people.
Second-That as to farm products there
can be no combination or monopoly to exact
eNorbitant prices.
Third-It results from these facts that as
TO such farm products the duties should be
such as to secure to American farmers the
whole American market Among the prod
ucts on which such duties are to be re-
quired are: Cotton, hemp, fax. wheat corn
barley, oats. potatoes hops, dairy products,
garden vegetables. poultry, eggs. live stock
for food, many kinds OF tobacco, apples
and other orchard fruits. AS to sugar. wool.
and rice, which the American farmer can
not sufficiently produce TO supply all our
needs the duties should not be prohibtory
but they should be amply protective so that
In due time we shall be enabled to supply
ALL
The memorial then quotes statistics to
show the effect OF the wool act of 1894 and
II recomme ends that congress shall enact
the wool tariff law recommended in Decem-
Der last by the National Wool Growers
association at Washington. The memorial
further says the Dngley tariff bill now
pending in the senate unjustly dscriminates
in favor OF the wool manufacturers and
against the wool growers II insists that IL
the Dingley bill is to be passed. it shall be
amended In four particulars; to provide first
that the skirting clause in the act Of 1890
shall not be applicable to the bill: and
second. that the provision that It shall be
continued in operation until 1898 be strick-
en- out; third; that the duties on wooden rags
shoddy and adulterants shall be made pro-
hibitory; fourth. that wool and woolen man

shall not remain in bonded warehouses more
than ten days.
Several other minor features 10 the memo

Opposing the DingIey Measure.
NEW YORK, Nov. ll.-Senator John Sher-
man OF Ohio, who is at the Fifth Avenue
hotel, talked freely with an Evening Post
reporter today about the outlook for legisla-
tion In tha next congress.
1T will be necessary to pass tariff
measure at once" he said THE DingIey
bill with some changes will do for the pres
ent. The democrats made a great mistake
in not permitting that bill to pass in the last
congress. 1t was only temporary measure.
intended to raise the revenue that the gov
ernment absolutely needed and IL the demo-
Gratis had let 1t go through, there would
have been no necessity for bond issues and
the democratic administration would have
escaped great deal of censure and criti-
cism that was heaped upon it,"
II doubt" he continued, "if the demo-
cratic senate will oppose the bill | am sure
the silver senators would not obstruct legis-
lation. | understand all the silver men ex-
cept Teller and Dubois are opposed to a
policy of obstruction. II the Dingley bill is
passed at the coming session of congress
there will be no necessity for an eXtraor-
dinary session OF congress after March T.
considering everything. | think that the out
look Tor the passage of the bill is bright
1T is doubtful If the republicans will have
a majority in the senate. Nobody can tell
yet whether republicans or democrats will
go to the senate from Kentucky and North
Carolina. Until these states elect their
senators 1t will be impossible to say which
side will have a majority"
The senator was then asked II he knew
anything about the makeup of President
McKinley's cabinet and If he might take the
treasury portfolio again.
Mckinley is the only man who knows
anything about the cabinet yet and | have
given no thought to cabinet matters" ne
