the enect that not more than per cent

WOODS without any distinction, as an

senator discussed the effect OF the Me
kinney WOOL rates, SAYING that tney did
not accomnllsh all mat had been ex-
pected and that they did not offset the
heaNy decline caused by business de-
Mills said 1t was incomprehensible to
him why woolmen demanded high
duties In the face of the experience that
the price OF wool could not be raised
by tariff any more than the price OF
cotton could he increased by duty. The
price of wool had been falling constant
~ for 40 years, in spite of tariff rates.
He quoted statistics showing that wool
had fallen after the composition of the
Mckinley rates and had risen after the
Wilson provisions FOR wool This was
proof incontestable. he declared, that
tariff duties could not affect the price
of wool.
AT one point In Mills remarks. Man
lie interiected the remark.
Generally speaking the senator will
not question that the imposition of n
duty has raised the price To the wool
rrower?"
