THREE FALSE CLAIMS.
ihey Are Iut Forward by = Projections.
Orgnn but Fully Eefuted

Inc Manufacturers organ of the
Manufacturers club. Of Philadelphia
IN speaking Of the effect of free wool
upon prices OF clothing. said on De-
Gem Der that the workman who was
70 ouy ais clothing at half the old
prices has learned TO his sorrow that
the mischief brooiing light lured him
on under false promises. He has found
lower wages and the cost Of CLOTHING
not materially changed and that
prices are mot ten per cent lower
.han before the change in the tariff"
ltalso says that 1--WE were To Danish
shoadv and give the workman an all
wool suit at "A low price What Il the
real outcome? A larger consurn ption
OF shoddy than ever before, more de-
ception in clothing, less value for the
money"
Lower wages, more shoddy and dear
er goods are the three points claimed
BY the Manufacturer against free wool
and lower duties Are any Of these
ciaims true? Not one.
FIRST. ~ to warcs We can name
over forty wooden al ills in which WAGES
have been advanced since we obtained
free wool. Can the Manufacturers
name a single mill of any Importance
IN which wages are lower no>v than
when wool was taxed Was Brad
streets wrong when il said in Novcm.
Der wool is higher and so is laboror
Next, as to shoiiy. II Is true tina.
we are importing more rags. noils
and waste" than when these were duti !
able, bnt does an anlysis show that
more cheap stuff. called "shoddy.- Is
imported? The treasury reports tell !
Us that the average price per pound Is
row about IL cents This indicates
that instead Of being trashy stuff, such I
rs was imported in 1900 to 1894 our i'm 4
ports IN 1875 consisted OF extensive
waste and noils, equal. in fact. to
secured wool. Good, healthy and du-
rablc clothing Is made from such waste.
We imported about Is 900. 600 pounds Of
this waste in lsej over that imported
III 1921 Add TO this the 100. 900. 900
extra pounds Of wool imported under
lover duties and II is practically Ger.
tain that our people are now better
prepared for cold weather than ever
before
Before leaving these two points we
will quote a letter 81 Mr.. q. Wilfrcl
