Tariff Hearings 1896 97 PDF Download

Excerpt from Tariff Hearings Before the Committee on Ways and Means: Second Session, Fifty-Fourth Congress, 1896-97 Mr. Mcmillin. Reduce the number of dogs; you say there are too many dogs. Mr. Clark. That is only in a certain portion along the eastern bor der, along the Monongahela River. If we had a tariff on which we could live we would see that some dogs did not live, perhaps. Mr. Wheeler. I will ask one question for information. On page 10, we see manufactures composed wholly or in part of wool, worsteds, hair of the camel, alpaca, or other animals, and then it goes on to say of a Specific value not exceeding 15 cents per yard, and in 1893 there was imported yards. Now in 1895 it was very much less, yards. N ow I would like to ask was not that deficiency made up by American manufacturers? Thel chairman. 1896 is the full year; for 1895 there are only ten mont 8. Mr. Wheeler. What I referred to is the cheaper goods worn by what is called the common people of the country. And let me ask this question too: Is it not true that giving free wool has gone very far to clothe the laboring people of the country at a very much less cost?
