THE WOOL GROWERS. their ITatiocat Mans Meeting at Chlcaffo-, Address to the Wool Growers. CmcARO. May 21. The National maw meeting of the wool-growers of the United Stales was resumed at ten o'clock yesterday morning. The committee appointed to pre pare an address to the wool-growers of th tountry submitted the following: rtho Wool-Growers and ShtW Rreeden: of the I tilted Stutes: CJESTi.r.MKx:-At the National Conven tion o tlie Wool-Growers and Sheep Breeder of the United States held at Chi cago on the 19th of May, IStH, and lii?h was attended by delegates from f.ventv Stales, a committee was appointed to draw up an address to the wool powers of the country for the pur ine of mousing them to a projcr realization of the necessity that exist-, tor immediate and energetic action, if they would rescue that great industry in which they are en cased from the present depressed condition, and imjM'iiding dangers of a still more seri ous nature. The members of the. com mittee firmly believe that the existing sad condition ot the interest you repre sent has been brought about largelv. if not altogether, by adverse Congressional legisla tion, and that it WIM. NOT JVOAIX UK ri:osini:or5 until C vs shall reverse its action at tho la.-t es'nin, and re-tore the rate of duty to that which prevailed under the tariff of lbT, by which for the first time in the history of this country equitable relations were established in this industry between the duties on wool and those on woolen good?. It can be conclusively shown that the tariff act of that 3 ear gave to American producers of both wool and woolen goods steady markets, a sure expansion of pro duction, and through this expanded pro duction it gave consumers cheaper wools and woolens than were ever before known in America, and In ought the priecs fr.r all goods of ordinary wear. and of many for fine and luxurious wear, lower or as low as an. known in Europe or elsewhere The reiioal of the tariff ol 1SG7 on wool and woolen was not asked for, as has been al-leia-d. by the conservative business senti ment of the country, or by any considerable number of the American people. It was brought about wholly through the eflorts of iiiiniters and others interested in securing in the United fct.its a market for foreign wools, aided by a few parties who desired U make use of the foreign product as a whip to suImIuc the American market and menace the American producers, upon whom they wT" necessarily compelled to rely for nine-tenths of the wool required in this busjiie-vs. These combined intiuences, rXPATKIOTIC AND UXAMEItlfWX. as :'cv w ere. led to the passage of the unwie. a'wirtive and suicidal tat iff act ot lss2 to winch we finnlr believe may be attributed the present depressed condition of the woolen industry. You have doubtless, gentlemen. It cud much of late touching the soundue-s ot the policy of putting raw materials of utauufaetuie including wool on the five list. We tnist that you will roent such a piopo sition whenever and by whoever it i& made willi inJigir.'tion which it jrreatly merits. Whl is the finished product of a million Hocks whose owners have by years of iutel-1L- 'lit aid patient labor anil the expenditure of lartte suiik of money bmugitt their pro duct to the present too high standird of e !!' to class it simply as "raw material:" as soinethin-i that h.is Ih-oii pnaiu.-e-.l al most without cost or ependituie, t'.ine and la.or and it is an in'usticeaisuii-t which we trust you will enter att ciFccthe protot. A nruments used in the defense of the prin ciple of protection apply at least as forcibly to wool as to any article on the tariff schedule The crowing of wool is equally th'.' same with glowing of food and foiests and w itii the manufacture of iron and steel, and the maintenance of the commercial nurine and n.tvy. -also of the National ittiiitia. which is the priinaiy element of Nat'onal defence in war and of financial se curity and indeiKrndence. which, if placed at neglect or loss, would ni:RAN;n oot i:vrn:i: mom:tai:v systkm, and place the cnliie country and all its in-teie-ts in a condition of industrial and eolo is1.1I asa!.tze to foreign producers, which w id be equally fatal to 'the happiness and iin!'e-.imiMg to the dignity and honor of the Nation, whose annual increase in wealth i now three told more than any other nation, and whose papulation now iri es it the second rank among civilized enipiics, and first aiimw the self, tree-governing and enlight ened peoples.' The appeal finally declares that the wool-growers have a perfect right to ask Congress for a lestoration of the policy of piotcclion. and con eludes in "the following terms: '-Ve es liecially ak you to sustain at the polls for lec.slative oliices only such candidates as are in faior of adequately protecting and -ncour:ig:ut: the srreat industry of sheep husbandry by oting to restore the woo' tav.ir of ibf7, or rates of duties, at least, as piotective as those embodied in that act."

Bport of the Senate Committee A Tte liew of the l'tspnent Telegraph S.vtem Extraordinary 1'uwen of the Woktern Union. -; TVAsinjfQTOK, May 23. The report ol the Senate" Committee on Post-ofiices and Post-roads on. the subject of iostal tele eraph has been completed by Senator Hill. It gives a history of the increase of debts, rentals and cipital stock of the Wcstcrr Union Company and the value of its prop rty, leased and otherwise, and says the cap ital stock of 580.000,000 has arisen to nearly the whole of it from stocks, dividends and from purchases made of lines of other com panies, which were laid for by issues of stock. It is evident, the report continues, the prices which the Western Union paid in its slocks for competing lines were vastly in excess of either cost or earnings. It was claimed before the committee by the West ern Union that it had fiom time to time ex pended out of its current earnings consider able money on construction account; that is to say, in addition to its hues and equip ments over and above their maintenance. This may be true to some extent, but cannot I be hue to an extent justifying the enormous stock dividends which tlie company nas made, nor was the appropriation of the cur rent income to the construction account suf ficient to prevent the payment of munificent cash dividends to share holders, who received in that way from 1SG7 to IS:!, both inclusive, S34.000.000 in addition to stock dividends of 520,807,190. As the process paid by the Western Union in iLs own stock do not furnish even an aj proximate idea of the actual cost of the lines which it has puichascd from other companies, and as Representatives of tha Western Union, which alone iosseses tlie information, have given no definite or de tailed account of tlie amounts of money it has itself expended in the construction of lines, the committee have endeavored to ascertain what it would now cost to repro duce lines equal in every respect to those which the Western Union have acquired on all ways. The committee believes it to be a large estimate to assume that the number of miles of wire actually used and necessary to its business of transmitting telegrams is 50000. Theconnuittee believo also that tlie average" co-t ot" tlie .wire, in cluding poles construction and in struments for telegraphing would not exceed seventv dollars p-r mile, which would make the total cost 24,500,000; The exact excess of capitalization of the Western Union lHjond the actual cost of its lines, and beyond what it would now cost to re produce similar lines cannot be determined. That it is enoimons is entirely plain and undisputed. In reference to inquiry whether this excess of capitalization, arising from cto.-k dividends and fiom putchasesof other lines at inilatcd juices paid in stock, has operated injuriously in the way of increas inir lite chan-e of the Western Union for the transmission of teli-.;rauis the com mittee deem it sufficient to say their own conclusions corresjond with the opinions of the country that iLs effect, in that direction cannot lie a matter of doubt, and that it has b-en very great. The swollen capitalization of the Western Union ha create! at 0110 and the same time a cover, an inducement, and in some senses a necessity for excessive charges lor tc!eirruin. ni loin: and o far as the public has been made to bclietetho nominal capital was a real one, it has ten ded to induce acquiescence in excessive chanres, while the ej,oswe of the actual nature of the nominal capital does not di minish the pleasure of the motives which impel the mananer of the company to keep up the charges which are essential to the maintenance of tiie present dividends n'-on the immense mass of its watered stock. For the purpose-of relieving the country of the harden of the charges for telegrams, which are loo high. if makinc their charges more equal as between diffeivnt localities anil different classes of telegrams, and of guaid ing against tiie mischief and dangers of having the control of the telegraph business of the country in th" hands of a pri vate company which enjoys a practical mo nopoly, tiie committee have rejMirtcd the ac companying bill. Tlie report savs the con-, stitutional right, of tlie Government to establisira postal telegpjih ,is undoubted and that there are"oliv:ous and sufficient answers to the objection that such a line will ojierate injuriously upon private telegraphs. The rejMUl asserts that the passage of the jiostal tch'graph bill will reduce the average charge per telegram from thiity-nlne cents to twenty-live cents immediately and to twenty cents in live years, and secure uni form charges irrespective of the amount of ! business in different places for telegrams to newspapers- anil to commercial news asso ciations, and continues as follows: Under the present telegraphic system the pos sibility of a species of censorship which is one of tiie most alarming dangers which menace the country arises in two dis tinct ways, each of which requires a sep arate consideration. The first is the tower which telegraph companies themselves have in manipulating news "for sinister pur Hses,," and second is the same power pos sessed bv the Associated Pi ess ami other j similar associations, not themselves owning teiegrapn lines, out mai;mg special com pacts for the transmission of telegrams over lines owned and managed by others. It will appear that the power of the telegraph com pany in this respect will be entirely taken away by tlie pending bill, and that the jiower of the Associated Press and similar assoeia tiouf will be gteatly 1 educed. For the pur- I po:-e the report says of giving fabulous for tunes to its inside managers and their iriends Hie Western Union need not send untrue marked quotations. It has only to give true quotations a single hour, or less than that, in advance to those whom it means to favor and tlie work is effectually accomplished. No such iKJwer should he allowed to exist in this country. If no iKist abuses can bo shown to have occuned, or even if .believed there have been, in fact no abuses of it, tlie temptation to abuse it is enormous, and will sooner or later prove irresistible. Tho hill will effectually take the jwwer away from the Western Union or any other pri vate telegraph company by the low rates which it secures to everybody, and by still lower rates whicii.it secuies h commercial associations. Competition in furnishing commercial and financial news to all poinU and places is not to be expected under Uiia bill, but it will be sufficient if it insures, as it is sure to do, competition in furnishing such news to more imjKirtant places whereby the field for profitable Liiiiering with pub lic intelligence will be so narrow that the temptation will no longer constitute a sen lible danger. n t A Wetl-Knoiru Xcw Yorker Dead. New York, May 23. While sitting upon 1 lounge in his office in the Mills Building, Horace S. Taylor, of the firm of E. P. James Co., bankers, fell over without a aioment's warning and expired. He was a large and elderly man, and had been suffer ing from heart disease for several years. Just before he died Mr. Taylor was con versing pleasantly with his physician, Dr. William Young, and two other gentlemen. He did not complain of feeling badly. A street rumor attributing his death to sudden md startling information concerning tho stock market was emphatically denied by his friends. He was a well-known Fre mason. s.

Another series of events, of a widely different but scarcely lcs"importanr. character, were to date from the lDth of April, 1775, when the tirst shot "was fired in the American Revolutionary war at Lexinon. The day has also been illustrated by the death of several notable personages e. g.. of Byron (of whom Disraeli's Lord Cadureis" is perhaps tlie most appreciative sketch ever conceived) in 1.S24; of Christian of Sweden, 1089: of alelauehlhon, 1560.
