Columbus Dalano, of Ohio, representing the Import- J anco of sending representatives of this Htate interested iu tho wool industry to Washington to look after the interests of the industry 5 before the WoyB and Moans Oommittoe anu ; Congress. Mr. Dalano suggested that it would f be politic to eeud as many Democrats as ) could be induced to go to Wrshington, to exert a special influence ' on the Democratic members of Con- , gresa. Col. Beall ntked that tbe lotto- be read by the8ecretary,audMr.Pa'm<r read it, ' accompanying its resding with some chosrful comments, in the manner, he siid, of a ' minister reading a psalm. In the course of , theso comments he referred to the speech at 1 the former meeting by Gov. Jacksaon, and ' said that he had shown himself In harmony ' with tho tarilT views of enlightened West !

The general expression was that to be of servloe they, should lose no lima, as the prospect was that j the Morrison substitute tariff bill would be J reported to Congress this week. remarks of mb. c. b. hart. President Beall said that Mr. Hart, the editor of the Ikteluoksckb, being prtsant, the 1 association would be pleased to be addressed by him. Mr. Hart said: Mr. President and Gentlemen: I am glad to be with you to-day, particularly sinco an 1 engagement in Waauington detalucd uih bs- ! yond my intention and di s'.ro and prevented i my presence at your meeting in February, i But I found great pleasure in raadirg the i published reports of that meeting. I noted some conspicuous deHth-bed repentances and I have been grieved to-day to hear puiong ! yon gantleinen scmo mention of s ibsiqnent 1 backslidings However, I congratulate you on this, tbat > if yoa madu no actual converts yon a; hast got some very promising material on the anxious bench. [Laughter.] It is well for y,u wool-srotftrj.thatat last you are orgarwzjd aind determined to stand up for your interests You ought to bo represented at Washington by gentlemen of yonr association, who understand your industry and know how to preaantit. It is pe:s3uul solicitation, the direct appeal to the individual Congressman, that couuta. You ousht to prerentyonr case to members of the Ways and Meana Committee, and to those centlemen in eaoli house who am ninut Hfculv to b3 heard in the debate. A-NATIONAL INDUSTRY. You meat rrmombcr ibat Congressmen havo to deal with ninny questions, and do not understand all.- You must supply them wi'h what they lack, and furnish to your friends /ads to corabat the arguments of those who are opposed to yon. Home of the men who areso glibly talking down your industry don't know sheep oorrel from sorrel sheep You mu6t inform them. You can not airird to remain on your firms caring for your tl )ckn while men in Washington are slaughtering youraheep. The wool growers are not seeking to put their hands into the pockets of consumers. You at k only what is right and fair. Your industry, ss Mr. Delauo eo well pointed out, is in every 3tata, and in aome dtates it is found in every county. 8h?rp husbaudry is essentially a general and not a special industry, in which tho whole country bas-its stake, and ao the cry of section, locality or c!esj can no; bs raised against you. When I saw that your case had failed before the Tariff Commission I was carious to know how it had happened, and I turnod to the published reports to Bee if the cause . could bo found thera. In my judgment the csbo was not well aud forcibly presented; by which I intend no disparagement of the gentlemen who presented it. The commission wanted facls, figure?, percentages, and you could not give thorn because they had not been prepared. You will find information of that kind demanded in Washington now, and it will pay you to furnish it. NO TARIFF BILL THIS SEtEIO.N. In myjudgment there will be no terifl bill .pooacumio oiniiuu, uui miB qaeauon will remain open. Itvrill no into tlie campaign, and you must provide well-disposed Congressmen with information concerning your industry. I take it that yon do not ask of me a o mfetsionof faith ou the larifl question. Through the columns of the newspaper which,! am permitted to condnct I have endeavored to make my position so clear that it might be eeiily uader6tood. I believe in protecting every home industry against every competing foreigu Industry, whether simple or complex, of the soil or of tho shop. American wool he* as much right to ba protected against the cheaper wools of South America and Auatralia hs American iron haa to be projected against the, cheaper iron of England and Germany. I was invited to make a "short" speech, and it only remains to thank the floatation for its courtesy and its polite attention. TUB NATIONAL MEETING.
