Manufacturer Explains Mills Bill Impact on Wool Trade

He says removing duties would restore foreign trade, provide steady 300-day operation, and lower prices for buyers, noting prewar prosperity with 20 percent duties and warning high tariffs since 1874 hurt exports and raise domestic wool prices.
