FACTS FOR THE PEoPLE-CoARSE COT
TONS AND CALIC0ES-TARlFF OF 1912

Under the act Of lS42, all goods manufactured
from cotton not dyed costing not exceeding 20 cents
per square yard, shall be valued at 20 cents per
square yard.
All dyed cotton goods costing not exceeding 80
cents per square yard shall be valued at 80 cents
square yard for the purpose of evying duties.
What the practical effect Of that bill upon all
coarse cotton fabrics, such used by the poor
and mddling classes whether plain tndysd cotton, or
dyed eotiOns, called calieoss?
IL was this The cotton shirtings and sheetngs,
costing only about cents yard, and which is the
kind used by the Masses were taxed as cottons cost
ing 20 cents per yard and duty levied of thirty per
cent upon that false and arbitrary valuation making
the consumer pay duty upon this assumed yalua-
ton nearly three times It's actual cost.
As TO dyed eottOns, called calicoes, the same un-
Just principle was adopted. The coarse cslicoes
by farmers and mechanics wives and daughters,
costing about 8 cents yard, were assumed to have
cost thirty cents yard, and duty Of 80 per cent
levied upon this falsely assumed valuation, nearly
POUR TINES ITS ACTUAL COST.
Thus were the masses made to pay Just as much
duty upon these undyed cotton and calico prints,
costing but and 3 cents yard, as the rich paid
upon fine couons actually costing twenty cents a
yard, and French calicoes actually costing 80 cents
per yard, and worn and used by the rich
This was the principle of the act Of l942, so
much lauded by oVer-grown captallsts-a bill that
should have been denominated ian act to make the
poor poorer and the rich richer" and yet the act
of 1896 which has abolished this cruel, unjust, and
iniquItous principle, and placed the duty upon the
quality and cost of the article, is to be denounced
and t0hg GriihmttieianS are eyphsring up how much
party capital they to make out Of this too long
delayed justice to the twenty millions of consumers
in this country.
The wings may rest assured, they are waking up
the wrong passengers, and are calculating without
their host in this matter The people are too intel
lgent and scrunzing, long to be deceived and duped
by political thimble-rggers, or selfish and mercena.

The republic of Guatemala possesses better har-
bors on both seas than Mexico. The established re-
ligon is Catholic, but all sects tolerated. 1t is
said some parts of the country favorable to the
growth of cotton. The coast suffers from the rainy
season during summer, and from the dry season du-
ring winter. The islands along the coast said
to be fertile and healthy. Guatemala after its con-
quest by Span (1524,) excepting the Indian tribes
alluded to, was placed under the government of u
captan-generaIship, which subjected the people to
less expense than those Of the American vceroy-
ates The Indians were subjected to tribute under
Spanish authority, which was abolished when the
country became independent
