WOOL.

An Effort to Be Made td Restore the Former Duty. Representative Converse, of Ohio, has introduced in Congress a bill providing for a restoration of the duty on clothing wools, combing wools, carpet and otter''Similar wools, to what they were prior to the- enactment of the present tariff few. Converse had a conference with. Dplhno, President of the National Wool-growers’ Association, at which the latter gave the proposed measure his. indorsement, and Converse said he had no doubt his bill would pass the House by a two-thirGS majority. The wool-growing industry, he.vsald, was closely allied to the agricultural and»farming class interested in the restoration qf the old rates on wool, and this circumstance will give the bin strength before the representatives of the people. His State ws&the chief wool-producing State infthe country, and had suffered most severely from the reduction made in the present tariff law. There were in that State 46,000 wool-growertL and their loss on sales of wool the last annual capping amounted to more than $l,000j)00. The effect of the reduction of .the tariff on wool product has been felt so keenly in Ohio ttaftteth political parties there pledged to work for the restoration of tte did rates.
