AMERICAN TARIFF.
FARMERS SEEK EMBARGO. ALABMING WOOL POSITION. A. and N.Z. .WASHINGTON. March 18. Several Western senators and congressmen have presented a request to the President to put an immediate embargo on imports of wool, hides, meats, butter, , lemons, and cotton, otherwise the exist- I ence of some producers in the United States is in immediate danger. Mr. Cameron, senator for Arizona, j stated that more than 100.000,0001b. of I wool had arrived in the United States since November, and 100,000,0001b. more was en route. Local producers have already two years 1 supply available, and a big shear is coming. The Cabinet held a long meeting to consider the request. It is learned that Mr. Harding is reluctant to impose an embargo, but be is persuaded that the plight of American farmers demands in gome form immediate attention. It is hoped that the tariff to be introduced at a special session of Congress, either as an emergency Bill, or as a permanent measure, will obviate the necessity for an embargo.
