contending that the senate rates would
be most oppressive upon manufacturers.
The senate classification OF third class
wools Is especially objectionable to the
carpet manufacturers and Senators Pen
rose and Quay have been active during
the day In their efforts TO secure an ad-
vance to IL cents In the value of wool
that may be admitted at four cents. The
senate schedules make 10 cents the figure
OF demarkation In value. fixing a duty of
seven cents pound on all wool above
that price. The Pennsylvania senators
say that under this classification 70 per
cent OF the carpet woods would be made
10 pay seven cents duty and the result
would be 10 close out many OF the carpet
makers. There Is a proposition TO COM
promise the difference by retaining the
senate classification. but allowing u
drawback On all woods which It can be
proven are used in carpet making on
which seven cents may be paid. The
house Is also standing for its rates on
first and second class woods which were
reduced by the senate, with a good pros
pect OF success.
