TARIFF ON WOOLS.
A dispatch of December 9 from Washington says the representatives of Ohio in Congress propose to introduce a bill for the restoration of the duty on gombing wool, carpet, and other similar wools to which they were subject prior to the enactment of the present tariff law. Mr Delano, president of the National Woolgrowers' Association of the United States, endorses the bill, which, in the opinion of its friends, will pass the house of Representatives by a two-thirds majority. Ohio is the chief wool-producing State in the country, and has suffered most severely from the reduction made in the presenj tariff law. There are in that State 46,000 wool-growers, and their loss on sales of wool at their last annual clipping amounted to more than a million of dollars.
