This would be fully 25 per cent reduction on the existing specific duties. and under this rate itwllbe barely possible to make these goods In the United States. And since only our foreign competitors have in view the abolition of this duty.and the manufacturing community of this country Is vitally interested in its maintenance. themodification proposed of. 20 per cent ad valorem would mean. as said before. the complete stoppage of this business in the United States. Therefore. in view of the various lengthy petitions received from the mills in this country and signed by the numerous working people. as well as the representative citizens of the various cities and towns in this Union. we would most respectfully submit this matter for your careful consideration. believing that you will do our American interests and the working people engaged in this business justice. and protect them against the India coolie labor. Yours. respectfully. JOHN W.
