Shall Wool Be Free The Question and Meeting Criticized
A bill to place wool on the free list prompted scrutiny of two rival groups led by Willian Whitman and Judge Lawrence. The National Association of Wool Manufacturers and National Wool Growers’ Association formed in 1867 to control tariff policy, while recent meetings showed limited turnout and reservations about the McKinley bill. The Wool Reporter notes claims of large-scale unity despite evidence of selective attendance and political maneuvering. The piece urges public input on wool tax benefiting a few growers and manufacturers.

The writer cites price gaps with English rails and urges fair competition for all regions.
