COST or WOOLLENs IND CLOTHING

The best test Of the effect of the Mckinley
tariff upon prices is found in the record of
wool and manufactures of wool on which the
duty was increased. 1t was asserted during
the Congressional campaign of 1890 that the
cost Of all these products would be enormously
increased to the consumers. But the record Of
retail prices collected by the Senate Finance
Committee proves that the increase has been
insignificant, even if there has been any in
crease whatever, which is extremely doubtful.
These comparisons, it is to be remembered,
relate only to the period from June /, 1889,
to September 1, 1891 the details of the later
comparison to May /, 1892, are not given,
though it shows further fail of As per cent
in clothing at Chicago and Z per cent at Fall
River and Dubuque. But for the present pur-
pose it is enough to show that no substantial
advance had occurred down to September /,
1891.
The committee gives quotations at many
cities for large number of articles in the
woollen list. which may be reduced to nine
classes. Taking all quotations of dress goods
together, the decline was .43 of l per cent
in all flannels Al OF l per cent; in all under
wear 02 per cent; in all blankets IL per
cent, and in all wOoen socks and stockings
there was advance of 10 of / per cent.
These quotations establish substantial de-
cline in the articles which are purchased d-
rectly by the consumers. But in the goods
which are purchased by clothicrs and tailors
and made up for mems wear. some advance APP
pears These are overcoatings, advanced 3.GS
per cent worsted sutings advanced Alp per
cent. and cassimeres advanced .4S of ! per

cent in carpets is not considered as it does not
concern the question Of clothing. Taking all

But the committee states that 1t has the
testimony Of wholesale clothiers that there mas
been no advance in the price OF ready -made
clothing. Illustrations in great NUMBER coWu

when il is considered that difference OF only

makes a much smaller difference IN the cost
of suit ready made. and that an addition of
TX cents or 81 TO the selling price OF $50 SUIT
would do more harm than good lhlS j. an
other case where retail prices do not reflect
the difference in wholesale cost OF materiaiS'
1t is therefore exceedingly doubtful Whe'hef

If not. the cost of woollen goods as whole

Der |, 1891. a small advance OF .oS oil per

doubtedly vanished in the ascertalned decline
of prices since that date. Moreover the COST
of other clothing has decreased. Gloves were
indeed At of 1 per cent higher in September
1891. than in June, 1889, and linen goods as
a whole were .04 of 1 per cent higher averaging
all quotations. But hats were LAB per cent
lower. rubber shoes .6s of l per cent lower
boots and shoes 1 80 per cent lower and cotton
goods LIS per cent lower.
IF all these articles are averaged according
10 the proportions used by the committee even
including carpets with clothing, the aggregate
cost of clothing was 4 of | per cent lower III
1891 than in 1889. If a more accurate allow
ance is made for the relative importance OF each
class of goods in actual consumption the aver
age decline is greater in fact nearly yer

determine whether the precise change has been
n trAe more or less. because there has been al

opponents of the new tariff predicted and de-
ceived tho people into believing there would
be a great increase. In woollen goods alone
the change is insignificant if there is any. In
clothing as a whole there has been some decline.

for declaring the Apportionment act unconstltu-
tional are absolutely without force ; 1t SAID that
the charge OF gross and fragrant inequality was
"a matter which any court in the land VIII
decide rests in the discretion of the Legislature

a rash thing to say, since the Supreme Court OF
Wisconsin had already said that the utmost
limit for the exercise OF legislative discretion was
las close an approximation to exact equality ~
possible and had overthrown the Wisconsin
gerrymander for the very reason that the gross

made in this State existed in the Wisconsin re-
