Letter from Emil Gribeschock to United States Tariff Board

Emil Gribeschock presents his arguments to the United States Tariff Board regarding why woolskins and other wool products should have the import duties changed in order to promote American industries. The tariff as it currently stands “has created an absolute unnatural state of affaires [sic],” and should be changed so as to no longer produce a loss for the United States. He compares the wool industry to the feather industry, which went through a similar change, as a means of proving his point.
