Hides and Leather.
To the Editor of The Press.

To the Editor of The Press.
SrR-What effect, in your opinion,
would the passage of the Wilson bill in its
present shape have upon the hide and
leather market W. II. L.
Mosseryille, Lehigh County, Pa.
The Wilson bill reduces the duties on
leather betting one half. On articles made
of leather and on boots and shoes there is
reduction of per cent. On leather cut
into shoe uppers, yamps and leather suitable
for conversion in manufactured articles
there is o reduction Of Is per cent. There
is cut of 10 per cent. on Japanned calf
skin. On the other hand, degrass and tai
low used in the production Of leather, are
put on the free list. though that will not
make much if any difference in the cost of
product ion. Ground sumac, of which H.
000 600 pounds were imported last year, for
use in production of leather is retained on
the dutiable list at the same specific rate
as under the existing law. What there is
produced of this article in this country
comes from Virginia and North Carolina,
which accounts for the fact of no reduction
being made on the duty on it,
This is a gross piece of sectionalism.
There is on doubt that under the bill some
kinds of leather will be imported to much
larger extent than at present, but the re-
duction in the leather schedule will not in
iure the business as much probably as the
harm that will result from the depression
in other industries in which there is much
greater need of. protection and where
greater reductions have been made. In
Japanned calfskins there was a large in
crease in the last fiscial year in the i'm
portations, as compared with 1892. 1t is
evident that reduction Of 10 per cent.
must increase the importation consider
ably. And what is true of that kind of
leather is true of other kinds.
That the leather business will be injured
by the Wilson tariff bill goes without say
ing. No one business can escape injury
when all others are affected. The existing
condition of business is proof positive of
that fact. An industry which does not
come under the protective tariff must nec-
essarily suffer when other kinds Of business
are hurt The business of the country is
so interviewer that the destruction of even
afew large industries must necessarily affect
all others. But under the Wilson bill the
leather business will receive a direct blow
as well as so many others. Our correspon-
dent can make up his mind that if the Will
son bill becomes law his business will be
sev erely injured. .-Philadelphia Press.

Prendergast Convicted.

Prendergast, the murderer of Carter II.
The verdict of the jury has said it and the
people of Chicago approve it. Ably de-
Tended as the assassin has been. strong as
has been the evidence adduced to save his
neck from the halter, the jury has found
him sane, responsible for his act, and de-
manded that he pay the highest price for
his ofense against the law. Nothing since
the commission of his crime has so irritated
Prendergast, as the comparison between
himself and Charles j. Guiteau. He has
resented it with energy and scorn, as
though the assassin Of Garfield was foul
and creeping thing compared with himself
But in the courtroom in Chicago Friday
afternoon he showed that one trait existed
in common between Guiteau and himself.
He proved himself an unmanly, miserable
coward When Clerk Fitzgerald arose to
read the finding of the jury the prisoner
stood clut ching the back of a chair, eyeing
him with the most intense eagerness. His
long bony fingers nervously clasped and
unelasped the back of the chair, his knees
trembled violently, his face was flushed
and his spiteiul looking mouth opened and
closed as though he would say something,
but lacked the power to speak.
"We, the jury, find the defendant, Pat
rick Eugene John Prendergast, guilty of
murder in manner and form as charged in
the indictment, aud fix the penalty at
death"
Fitzgerald s voice, clear and calm, read
out the finding and died away with slight
emphasis On the final word. Then Prem
dergast revealed himself the utter coward
His face turned pale, he opened his mouth
10 speak, but only faint murmur came
from between his hot and quIvering lips
He moved slightly and would have fallen
To the floor, but Tor the assistance of a
bailiff When the jury was polled he
listened with avidity TO each and every
answer to Judge Brentavo's question, "W as
this, and is this now your verdict"
at is" said Foreman Jacob Sutter, and
at is" repeated every other juror, and
then hope and the last vestige of courage
faded utterly IN Prendergast's breast. He
was half led, half carried back TO his cell,
where, refusing to speak, he threw himself
upon his bunk in the attempt TO hide from
his fellow prisoners, whose expressions OF
satisfaction over the verdict were more
emphatic than graceful and more sincere
than polite.

Greedy on Free Trade.

The late Horace Greedy once wrote OF
the free trade period from 1916 to 1924
"At the close OF the second war with Eng
land peace found this country dotted with
furnaces and factories which had sprung
up under the precarious shelter of embargo
and war. These not yet firmly established
found themselves suddenly exposed to a
relentless and determined foreign compe-
tition. Great Britain poured her fabrics,
far below cost upon our market in per-
feet deluge. Our manufactures went down
like grass before the mower, and our agri-
culture and the wages of labor speedily fol-
lowed Financial prostration was gener.
al, and the presence Of debt was universal.
In New England fully cne fourth of the
property went through the sheriff mill,
and the prostration was scarcely less gen.
eral elsewhere. In Kentucky the presence
of debt was simply intolerable. In New
York the leading merchants, in 1916 unit
ed in memorial 20 Congress to save our
commerce as well as our manufactures
from utter ruin, by increasing the tariff du-
ties"
