SEATTLE. FRIDAT. JUNE IL.
WHO PAYS THE INCREASES

The foreign manufacturer, rather than
the domestic consumer, pays the increase
in tariff duties which was provided by the
Mckinley law on several important arti-
cles OF manufacture. The reduced prices
for hosiery made by the manufacturers OF
Chemnitz, Germany, is case in point.
The Dry Goods Chronicle of New York
city saws that since the new tariff law has
gone into effect, ''in order TO retain our
trade the manufacturers of Chemnitz have
made reduction in prices of low-priced
goods of 35 20 40 per cent. below those of
year ago. They reduced the wages Of fac
tory hands 10 an extremely low rate, and
also the wages of case (boxl makers, cot
ton spinners and label makers. The fall
in the price of cotton helped them to OBJ
tain the raw material at much lower
rate, especially the lower grades. But
apart from all these conditions, they have
been willing to accept profit of only IL
to per cent, instead of s to 10 per cent,
as formerly"
These facts are conclusive as to whether
it is the foreign manufacturer or the do
mestic consumer who pays the increased
protection placed on hosiery. The in
creased tax On the German hosiery forced
the manufacturers to cut prices down on
the German goods, while at the same
time the increased protection opened
American factories and increased the EN-.
ployment of American labor and capital.

The action of the state Democratic ex-

vention for August "a. when the farmers
must be in the field. has aroused storm

them out of the convention, while as q

was to gain time to beat Lewis. In New

weight of numbers had the word been
given. At Williamsburg bloody, blum

Oaks. straddling the river with
our army, We lost GOO men,
another bloody blunder. Then came the
"seven days battle before Richmond
when the army was rolled back from Rich

loss of 5000 killed and wounded. Moth

complete destruction but the fact that

as ordered by General Lee, he would have
joined Longstreet, Charles City Cross
Roads would have been taken and held
and our army cut in two. The first CAM
paign of the Army of the Potomac was an
utter tactical and strategic failure that
cost the army by battle and disease at
least 90. 900 men from May % to July 2, 1s62.

on Pope, who commanded some % 900

fought drawn battle at Antietam that cost
Us - 600 killed and wounded, besides IL 900

THE heirs of the Italians who were
SO brutally killed in New Orleans a
year ago, have instituted suits in the
United States Circuit Court against
the city for damages amounting in
the aggregate to $4,000. 1t would
be good lesson, not only to New Or
leans but to the entire country. if the
court would allow the amount in full.
1t might possibly cause communities
to pause and consider the consequent
ces a little more thoroughly before
they proceed to disregard the law en-
tirely. The New Orleans mob was
not one which gathered upon the i'm
pulse of the moment. 1t was the re-
rult of cool, almcdeliberation upon
the part of it's leaders. The city au-
thorities were aware that some move
ment of that nature was on foot, and
had they taken proper precautions.
might have prevented the result
which followed. But nothing of the
kind was done: on the other hand
they rather excused the action of the
mob. Should the city be compelled
to pay these damages in full, it would
be nothing more than just penalty
for the long period of lawlessness that
has corrupted the channels of justice
there.
