What More Can They Ask?

The American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter has been denouncing the Reform
clubs proposed tariff bill because it
leaves duty of only 25 per cent on
wooden goods. This or any duty Of less
than 40 per cent would not only ruin
the wooden industry, but would send the
party that should pass such bill to
obstruction on toboggan slide" Some
one who signs himself Inquirer" upsets
all these calculations and completely
stumps the editor by the following letter,
printed in The Wool Reporter of April IS:
"What class of goods would it be pos
sible to make with a IS per cent protec-
ton? The United States census of 1890
gives the wages paid to wooden mill op-
eratives, SIT ,5S1 ,525; cost of materials
used, $209,971 1924; value of products,
1916, Oh, 1924. This is 21.9 cents for labor
and 81 cents for stock to the dollars
worth Of goods. If free wool should re-
suit in a reduction of 20 per cent in the
cost of stock and the wages should re-
main the same, our stock and labor cost
would be 62.8 cents. English stock same
cost and labor cost assumed at one-half

on which the tariff would be 1919 cents
that is, his labor plus his tariff would
be more than our labor.
eff we do not pay more than so per
cent more wages than the foreigner, his
tariff would be 1870 cents, making his la
Dor and tariff 2S.4 cents, or about 25 per
cent more than our labor cost. If free
wool did not lower the price of it, his
tariff would be more still-that is, our
advantage would be more than in the
supposed case. These figures cover all
wooden goods made i'll the United States,
and the foreigner could not compete with
us if we were protected % per cent.
Still he might on certain lines. With
this in mind asked a very well known
manufacturer of dress goods and medi-
UNI quality cassimeres for an estimate
Of the labor and cost Of his goods. His
figures were much larger for stock cost
and a trifie lower on wages. His esti-
mate was: Stock, IS cents; labor, 90 cents,
and probable reduction of 10 cents in
the cost of stock in the case of free wool.
This would give us 6 cents per pound ad-
vantage if we now pay double the wages,
or cents if we only pay one-half more.
It we pay three times the wages the for
eigner does, we would have an advantage
through the tariff of 2 cents per pound
even then. What is the matter with
tariff rate which gives such showing
as this?'

Lobby In Extra Session,

The New York Evening Post, discuss
ing the need of an extra session of con
gress, which President Cleveland Las
said he would call early in September,
makes some plain and truthful state
ments. It says:
what is true of the monetary cues
ton is true of the tariff question. What
an old story the latter will seem five
months from now, when dilatory con-
gress sets about doing what an over
whelming majority of the people voted
should be done-frst three years before,
and again, and more emphatically, ten
months before. The impetus and enthu-
siasm of a successful campaign will have
become thing of the past and will be
very hard to revive. Meanwhile the men
who want the tariff to remain as it is are
not idle. Their work is always in order.
The lobby has long been called in extra
session. Already do we see half hearted
Democratic congressman rise here and
there to remark that it is going to be a
very difficult thing to say what is a raw
material and what is not, and that il
may be all very well to revise the tariff
on some other fellows goods, but that
their own districts must not be touched
These difficulties may all be over
come We believe they will be. But we
cannot blind ourselves to the fact that
they have been unnecessarily intensified
by delay"
