THE WOOL TARRF A FAILURE.

On Wednesday of this week the Ohio
Wool Growers Association met in
Columbus and was addressed by tie
president, Judge William Lawrence.
Judge Lawrence said,the wool tar.f of
the act Of July "a, 1897, as measure Of
'full and adequate protection" is a f il-
ure and In practice fraud He claimed
prices of wool are lower than in any
perioi in the last forty years except tor
briet time under free wool.
The speaker claimed that the present
tariff law was intended to bethe best for
the manufacturers they ever had and
better for them than for wool growers.
He said Fart of the prohibitive duties
should be taken from manufacturers
and should be given to wool. He claim
ed that prices are fixed by the manu-
facturers and imported woods are sup
planting the American product.
Resolutions were adopted by the as.
soCistion along the lines marked out by
Judge Lawrence in his speech.
Although the manufacturers have the
advantage in the tariff schedule, as
Judge Lawrence says, yet they don't
seem to have profited thereby, for the
wooden mills have only been running
about half and then without profit.
Gold standard and tariff have not given
the mills nor the wool growers pros
perity.
