protection afforded manufacturers IN
DER the Wilson bill was very consider
bill.
During the years in which the Will
son bill was in force the wooden manu-
facturers suffered Many mills were
compelled to shut down. These were
abnormal years. and it is not necessary
70 attribute the hard times solely to
the tariff act of 1894, but it was at least
an addition to other factors operating
TO 1nJure the wooden business. 1t is
the only experience we have had for
generation of a radical revision of
TINS schedule, and, without exaggera
ting its Importance before giving APP
prevail without full information to leg
lslatlon which makes a more radical
reduction in the protection actually
afforded to manufacturers to wool thar
old the Wilson act.
Nor does this hesitation arise only
for fear of injury to manufacturers
Unless manufacturers are able to con-
unue their business and buy wool from
Democratic wool growers, the latter
Will have no benefit from the tariff that
is supposed to protect them because
they will have to sell in competition
with foreign woods or send their sheep
to the shambles- Hence the wool grow
er is as much interested in the pro-
in his own.
DCtbSE 10 w dAts
1T may be that conditions of manu-
facture in this country have changed
so as to require much less protection
now for the manufac uurers than at the
time of the Wilson bill but in view
of the possible wide suffering involved
by hasty acts based on insufficient
knowledge the wise course, in my judg-
nent, is to postpone any change for a
few months needed to complete the
pending inquiry.
when have the accurate informa-
ton which justified such action shall
duction in schedule K as the measure
of protection already stated will per-
nit. The failure of the present bill
should not be regarded, therefore, as
taking away he only chance for re-
duction by this congress.
More than a million of our country
men are engaged in the production OF
wool and the manufacture of WOolens;
more than a billion Of the country
capital is invested in the industry
Large communities are almost wholly
dependent on the prosperity of the
wool grower and the wooden manufac-
turer. Moderately estimated, 5000 600 OF
the people will be injuriously affected
by any ill advised impairment OF the
wool and wooden industries
Certainly we should proceed prudent
" in dealing with them on the basis
of ascertained facts rather than hastily
and without knowledge to make re-
duction of the tariff to satisfy popu-
lar desire, which 1 fully recognize for
reduction of duties believed to be ex-
cessive.
There is no public exigency requir-
ing the revision Of schedule K in Aug
ust without adequate information rath-
er than in December next with such in
formation Certainly the public wool IS
better preserved by delaying 80 days in
orde.- to make such a reduction as shall
be proper, than now blindly to enact
a law which may seriously injure the
industries involved and the business
of the country in general"

iff board. and stating the good re-
suits he believed would be obtained by
scientific revision. Today's message
continued:
"A popular demand arose for the for
NAL creation by law of a permanent
non-partisan tariff commission In ad-
dition, efforts were made to secure q
change in the rules of procedure in the
house and senate with a view of PR
venting the consideration of tariff
changes except schedule by schedule.
THE business of the country rests on
a protective tariff basis The public
keenly realized that a disturbance Of
business by a change in the tariff and
a threat of injury to the industries of
the country ought to be avoided, and
that nothing could help so much to MN
imize the fear of destructive changes
as the known existence of a reliable
source of information for legislatI re
action. in the deep interest in the
matter of an impartial ascertainment
of facts before any new revision was
evidenced by an effort to pass tariff

the Sixty first congress in which many
of both parties united.

THE board took some months to in
vestigate the methods pursued in 9TH

on tariff subjects and to organize its

investigation began with a force of
forty that has now increased to so.

New York stock MARKET.


Wall ST., New York, Aug. 1S.-STOCKS-
Some very striking gains were registered
at the opening of the stock market. St
Great Northern ia, Southern Pacific IL,
Union Pacific 13s, with gains of a point
or more in Reading, Lehigh Valley,
Canadian Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Rock
Island preferred and United States Steel.
Opening gains were soon increased,
Union Pacific advancing 215 points over
last night. That stock was the barometer
of the list because of the reassurins state
ment issued by the management yester-
day. 1t was noticeable, however, that
the activity which accompanied the rise
was in scant proportions to that which
attended the recent declines. Prices shad-
ed some from the top. due perhaps to
profit taking but the tone continued
strong.
Advances held quite generally during
the early session, subject to small short
recessions as the short interest manifest
ed renewal of activity The Union Pa
cific statement was undoubtedly a factor
in checking the decline. So far as could
be seen, however, it was not productive
of any considerable amount of individual
buying United States Steel was offered
for sale on every fresh outburst of
strength and this fact was associated
with the proposed tariff revision in the
steel industry The critical labor situa-
ton in England was reflected in some
selling from London. The oIR feature
of bond list was a point decline in
American Tobacco As.
The bond market generally was steady.
