A PROTEST..

Those who have been trying to fix up the
tariff in Washington will be lucky If they
escape with any hair on their heads, or even
with their heads. Protest after protest ia
being made, and there is trouble all around.
One Of the Connecticut industries which will
be affected by the change is the carpet indus
dry, and vigorous protest has been made.
After calling attention to the wrong of the
proposed increase of rates on third-class
woods, to 81 cents to 8 cents, the protest
goes on to show what the bill further does to
crush this important industry, by making
the proposed duty assesaable upon the value
at the last port Of shipment-which charges
are by the present law exempted-and it
points out that by the action of the pro-
posed bill large proportion of un-
washed carpet woods now dutiable at ~
cents pound will be subjected to duty of
8 cents. By the restrictions and definitions
of the Mckinley bill touching washed and
secured woods used for carpets, the chief
grades will be made to pay a three-fold in-
crease In tariff rates. Camels hair and it's
products are now free; under the Mckinley
bill these articles will be subjected to tax
that is prohibitivs. One or two other grades
or articles also, imported by carpet makers,
will be prohibited under this crushing bill of
''proteetion." The protest continues: It is
our judgment. as carpet manufacturers, that
tho practical effect of this bill. !. will be
to increase by about three-fold on the aver
age. That is to say, to add ~ fold to the
duty charges of the war tariff; thus making
necessary enormous compensatory duties on
carpets in order to permifthe American man.
ufaoturers to continue to hold their market
against foreign competition.
And 80 forth and 80 on. Of course in any
