McKinley Bill Injuries Trade.

Ex-Mayor w. L. Douglass, Brock
ton, has this to say about the tariff
question and its relation to the shoe
and leather business: "As is gen.
orally known. the shoe industry has
free hides, which has not only prov
ed a great benefit to it, but also to
its very important adjunct, the tan
ming industry, both of which have
enjoyed unprecedented prosperity
since hides were placed on the free
list. Statistics show that there has
been an increase of 10 per cent in
the shoe business and 125 per cent
increase in the tanning industry.
Wages are higher to-day in the shoe
trade than they ever were previous
to the removal of the duty on hides,
and what is true of these two i'm
portant branches might be told of
other lines of business if the letters
of the alleged protective tariff were
removed from American labor. In
regard to the Mckinley bill, a more
unjust and unreasonable piece of
legislation was never enacted, for
it protects not the workingmen, but
the monopolist and the capitalist,
who are the first consideration,
while the workingman is left to
protect himself in another way.
Personally have had a touch
of this experience, and from the
first introduction of the Mckinley
bill | believed, as | do now, that
it would materially affect the pros
perity of the country at large, more
especially that of the shoe business.
Before the passage of the Mckinley
bill my business was increasing,
and after its passage my business
decreased to an alarming extent,
falling off within two weeks 30 per
cent. On the discovery of this |
Immediately set out to find the
cause, and soon learned it was the
Mckinley bill"
