THE WOOL SCHEDULE.


searching the musty tones of the
Congressional Library for a complete
record of the wool schedule which is
probably better known as Schedule K.
1t is an interesting bit of history and
although it is now nearly half a CEN
fury since the matter of putting a
tariff on wool was first urged on Con-
gress by WOOL growers and wool man
facturers, still Schedule K occupies SO
much attention at the present time
that it is safe to say there will be
very few political speeches made in
the next ca,anaign in which reference
to it will not be made.
The first attempt to influence Con-
gress to put a tariff on wool was made
in 1856. At that time representatives
of the wool growers and wool manu-
facturers met in Washington for the
purpose OF recommending to Congress
that action be taken in the matter.
The following year, 1867, a Republi-
can Congress passed a law which en-
bodied the Recommendations made by
the representatives of wooden interests
the previous year. Three years later
began the agitation for revision of
the tariff The National Wool Grow
ers Association opposed any change III
the tariff effecting wool and wooden
goods, but expressed desire to have
as the agitation for a tariff commits
sion got fairly under way, the presi-
dent and secretary of the Wool Grow
ers Association approached the presi-
dent of the GIFTED States to obtain as
surances as to the personnel OF the
commission.
A tariff commission bill was drawn
up which received the approval of the
wooden interests and was passed in
1882. Then, note what happened:
John L. Hayes, the secretary OF the
National Association of Wool Manu-
facturers was made president OF the
tariff commission and later chairman
of the committee which prepared the
wooden and worsted schedules. The
result was the passage of tariff bill
which increased some of the rates in
the wool schedule and reduced few
others. This, however, was only a
semblance Of a reduction since it did
not help the consumer Then followed
the agitation for a revision of the tar
iff resulting in the Mckinley bill of
1890 which was little or no improve
ment over it,l predecessor. In 1894 a
Democratic Congress passed the Will
son bill. This bill effected a COM
plete revision of schedule K, removing
the tariff on wool and placing ad va
loren duties on wooden goods. Three
wears later the Dingley bill was pass
ed. the secretary of the National AS
ISOLATION of Wool Manufacturers be-
ing admitted to the secret sessions OF
the Senate Finance Committee while
the bill was under consideration.
The history of the subsequent tar
if LEGISLATION. is too recent to need
recounting. In almost every instance
the legislation has been such as to
favor the special interests. The prem
ises made have been open and fair
enough but they have not been kept.
It is now up to the people to pay more
attention to the character of the cam
didates and the record OF the party
making the promise than to the Kind
of promise made:

recent Associated Press dispatch
says: Omitted States Senator Joseph
w. Bailey today confirmed the report
that he would retire from the senate
at the expiration of his term in 1913
and would locate in this city. Mr..
Bailey said he and his son, now a
student in the law department of the
University Of Virginia, would open -
law ,ffice here. In a statement MIR.
Bailey cancelled all speaking ap-
pointments in the state. He said that
should he fill the engagements al
ready scheduled his enemies would
say he really intended to stand for
recollection in 1913 and would point to
the fact that he was addressing Texas
audiences as confirmation Of the
charges"
MIR. Bailcy's friends wish him sue
cess with his law practice-at least
enough so that he won't undertake to
get back in the Senate again.

in California, heard Of the change in
dates and the renewed effort, he tele-
graphed to the committee to change his

MADAME fAvARD
BUR|EDAT KEOKUK
FORMER IOWA WOMAN Member
OF FRENCH NOBILITY DIES
IN CHICAGO.

Keokuk, May Madame Louise
des Combes Favard. member of line
of the French nobility which goes back
several centuries, died at the home of
Mre. Mary H. Knowles, 1864 Oaken-
valid avenue, Chicago, Sunday. She
was Sc years old, and lived in America
since her family came to Nauvoo, ILL.,,
fifty-seven years ago, to found a
Frensh colony there, later moving to
Keokuk.
Madame Favard lived in Nauvoo,
where she was married, until the col
ony was broken up. She had lived in
Chicago sixteen years. To the last
she retained the position among her
people to which she was entitled in
the old days in France. She sought
only the acquaintance of the French,
and until few years ago held recep-
tons in her home according to the
traditions of her family. At these she
was the center of animated discussions
of daughter, Mile. Berthe des Combes
Favard, teacher of French in the Chi
