National Industrial Congress and Wool Growers Meet in Chicago
In Chicago at the Grand Pacific the National Industrial Congress opened with representations from sugar, beet sugar, flour, oil, wool, salt, cotton, ramie, dairy and farm products plus business boards and railroads. J S Curtin was temporary chairman, Louis Bush permanent chair, and a heavy protectionist platform emerged advocating tariffs, inland transport gains, and limits on free trade. The Wool Growers Convention followed with Col. Delano as permanent chairman and strong calls to restore the wool tariff of 1867, form a wool growers federation, and push for Republican or Democratic support at the national conventions.
