Wool Schedule
Adopted by House,

Washington, May 1.-The wool
schedule was passed without amend
ment by the House, Saturday, in its
consideration of the Underwood tariff
| bill. Ii went through with little ex-
element, its passage. causing scarcely
a ripple on the smooth waters of the
Democratic tariff program.
The Republicans concentrated their
attacks on the schedule by presenting
Il blanket amendment as a substitute
for it.
This substitute, prepared by Repre-
' sentative Payne, proved rate OF IS
cents a pound on raw wool placed on
the free list in the Underwood bill, and
comparative rates based on duty Of
| is cents a pound on the wool contents
of the various stages of manufactured
Woolens. The Republicans vociferous-
| ~ proclaimed their substitute to be in
conformity with the report which the
tariff board made on the wooden indus
try two years ago. The Democrats as
emphatically declared that it was not.
An expected detection from party
lines by Democratic members repre-
sentins wool growing states, failed to
materialize in the votes on raw wool.
The Republican substitute was defeat
ell and the Underwood schedule passed
"A 10 1873. With the silk, paper, and
sundry schedules still to be passed
Rep, Underwood hurried the House on
after the wool fight with the worst OF
the tariff wrangle out of the way.
The Republican attack on the I'm
derwood wool schedule was bitter. AZ
ter three hours of general debate Re-
publican Leader Mann and Democratic
Leader Underwood summed up the dis
oussion.
| Several years ago." said Mr.. Mann
we Republicans provided for tariff
board. We propose to stand hy the
report of that beard and present q

formation ascertained by it. For years
The wooden schedule has been a point
of controversy and for the first time
in the history of our tariff making we
propose scientific wooden schedule
and we will appeal to the country to
support tariff based on real informa-
ton"
