this fashion:

iist-no tax upon it?"
Mr.. Devine.-"That's the situation"

IDENTIFY docs not know that leather is
not on the FREQ list, but wo think Mr..
Devine is not so ignorant. A news
paper which knows no mora than this
about tho tariff should not attempt to
discuss tho question. 1t should sock
safety in quoting from the speeches of
free trade speakers. Mr.. Mills, or Mr..
Springer or Mr.. McN1illin would not
say that dutiable article is on the free
list. Since leather is not on the free
list tho point sought to be made on it
is blunted.

pie OF tho fundamental difference be-

They contend that the wages paid in

Leather and tho Tariff

Tho Register lays itself liable to tho
charge OF misrcpresenting Mr.. John
Hall, the leather dealer, when it puts
into the mouth OF SO intelligent gen.
tleman as no is, the following:
Flows the leather trader" asked reporter OF
Mr. John Hall, who is thoroughly posted on all
tho ms and outs OF the business.
Its tlour!shins. Prices Gre cheaper than ever,
and while there Is some complaint on the part
of the tanners that profits are small yet tho
volume OF business Is SO large that the trade is In
healthy condition: Expectations Of leather
are very heavy-I believe England bought about
GO 100000 worth OF leather during the last year.
and the outlook's good"
"Aud feathers on the free list?'
ayes, sir; and tho whole country has been
benefited"
Now, the fact is, as everybody knows,
including Mr.. Hall, who knows all the
ms and outs OF the business, that leather
is not on tho free list, and that the Nc
Kinley bill makes subject to duty lcath-
er band, betting and sole leather, cali
skins, skins for morocco, upper leather
Of all kinds, dressed, and skins dressed
and finished, gloves Of kid and other
leather and all other manufactures OF
leather.
1t appears, as is shown in an inter-
view published this morning, that Mr..
Hall never made the statement attri-
buted to him, and that what no really
did say was that the Mckinley bill made
it possible for tho leather trade to reach
tho excellent condition it is in to-day.
The business was never better and the
people AFRO buying shoes cheaper than
ever before. Tho protection afforded
the shoe business particularly has slim
ulated home competition, and tho price
OF the product has been reduced to tho
consumer, at the same time aGording
increased emplo' nent to the factory
wage workers. Interviews on this point
with shoe men Of this city, published
elsewhere, will prove interesting.
The Register makes Mr.. Hall say that
shoes for the family and harness for the
horses are cheaper than before the Nc
Kinley bill passed. This is true, and
tho following from this weeks issue Of
the Shoe and Leather Reporter confirms
it, not only in regard to leather, but in
regard to many other things
Plenty and cheapness bGa, universal sway all
over the land. or iron, the quantity mined and

Hides have been on the free list for
many years and were, therefore, not ai-
iected by the Mckinley law, as to price.
Leather is dutiable and is now cheaper
than ever That is the situation. When
tho Register sends abroad its able inter-
viewer it should instruct him to be more
careful lest he should out OF the mouths
OF Free Traders extract arguments for
protectionists.
