Manufacturers Oppose Reduction.

Protectionists and tariff Tevisionists had
a running fire in the House ways and
means committee yesterday. which was
continued last night. The wool tariff was
the issue and the manufacturers present
ed an almost unbroken alignment against
reduction of duty on woolen cloth and
ready-made clothing, though favoring re-
duction of the duty on raw wool
1t was the most strenuous fight made at
this session of Congress against the demo-
cratic plan for revision of the duties in
the coming extra session.
Your schedule has never been cut in
the memory of living man." suggested

to o. NJ. Stafford. president of a Cleve-

that the tariff could be reduced in the

resentative Harrison of New York sug-
gested that 1t was rather unbecoming
for him in view of the big profits of the
