PROTECTION OR FREE TRADE
is SLOGAN OF WOOL MAKERS

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Declaring
that there is no middle ground, that either
protection or free trade ust rule this
country, William Whitman, presidents of
National Association of Wool Manufac-
turers. in a letter to the tariff framing
committee of congress, replies to the ar
guments of the advocates Of tariff COM
mission.
1.-The very nature of the tariff problem, y
he says, "imperatively forbids bi-parti-
san or non-partisan consideration and
the only way in which the tariff can be
taken out of politics is by, settling the
tariff question as we have apparently set
tied the gold standard question, and that
is by defeating the free trade party so
will have to do as the free silver party
overwhelmingly at the polls that II
has done, and abandon its cause as a
hopeless fraud and delusion, condemned
and abhorred by the American people.
Mr. Whitman declares that the idea OF
adding another and a separate organiza-
ton to duplicate the work already being
done by capable and experienced men is
simply prepcsterous.
"a permanent tariff commission anxious
to justify its existence by incessant &C
tivity," he says, would be a vertiable
plague to the country's business. Pres
ident Taft is right in declaring that we
can have no full prosperity until the pres
emit tariff revision is completed and after
that is done what the business of the
country wants is absolute rest for at least
ten years from tariff agitation"
