REPUBLICANS DREAD
TARIFF QUESTION.
Fear That Reductions Made by
Wool Trust May Precipitate
Another Controversy.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington. July 26.-Hany Republicans
here are disturbed by the reported action
of the Wool Trust, otherwise known as the
American W0olen Company, in ordering a
startling reduction of prices. ranging from
10 to % per cent. The cut is made, 1t is as
serted, mainly for the purpose of cut
throat competition against Its rivals. The
politicians predict that this action will go
far toward calling for drastic tariff legisla-
ton, and will bring on acute discussion of
the protective" system and its fostering
Of the trusts.
The largest industry in the United States,
next to the manufacture of products of iron
is the making of WOODEN goods. This Is the
most lily protected industry under the
Dingley tariff law. In spite of that. how
ever. the wooden market has suffered Sc
we're depression during the last two years.
During the past few months business has
somewhat improved, and 1t is said that
prices were being fairly well maintained.
Therefore. the announcement of the Wool
Trust that on It's sergeS, ciayS and worstedS
for next spring and summer wear October
delivery it would accept such sweeping
reduction In prices spread havoc In the
wooden market. Tariff conditions are the
same as they were last year. There has
been no material reduction in the price OF
wool. and the raw material Is even now
on the upgrade In price. No improvements
in manufacture have been introduced that
would affect the price. hence the complete
surprise caused by the trusts action.
Effort to XIII Competition.
1t is understood by those in position to
know that the claim of the trust Is that
the wool market has been very low of late
and 1t can afford to reduce prices on that
account. As a matter of fact. however. 1t
is regarded that the act of the trust is Il
plain effort to stifie competition.
AS result Of the wholesale reductions in
prices of the trust. 1t Is said that tremendous
orders have been Withdrawn from COM
Deting manufacturers and transferred to the
trust. One large buyer had ordered 1900
yards from the trust before its prices were
made known, but. upon learning the new
conditions, Cancelled his orders to other con-
Germs ard gave the trust an order Of 49,
Qua yards.
The reduction Is being discussed with much
interest in political circles here. and 1t is
stated that the matter is certain to pro-
woke agitation before Congress at the next
session

THE Standard Oil interests are said to be

completed, it Is said. will comprise the own

Mexican Central Railroad. the Monterey

these will be built a great system of hotels.

1T has been known for some time that
