conclusion Of the sorry farce the mat
ter is exactly where General Lee left
It in his report Of last February His
position now, as then, is that Ruiz died
because he was deprived OF treaty
rights, and that Spain is responsible
for this result of most asgravating
case of brutality toward an American
citizen on the part of Fondesviela and
his subOrlinatcs. General Lee and Mr..

REBATE ON LEATHER.

While the tariff conference have reduced
the tax on hides from 20 per cent. ad valorem
to 10 per cent, they have also inserted a pro-
vision for drawback which is intended to
protect the leather manufacturers in their
export trade. 1t is stipulated that "upon all
leather exported made from imported hides,
there shall be allowed drawback equal to
the amount of duty paid on such hides,
to be paid under such regulations as the Sec
rotary of the Treasury may prescribe. Upon
the theory, dear to all protecIionists, that 'the
foreigner pays the tax, this rebate is wholly
unjustihable. Why should the government
pay to the manufacturer of leather and leather
goods a rebate which he has not earned, in
asmuch as the foreigner who sent the hides to
the United States paid the duty imposed by
the tariff law? On this theory the Secretary
of the Treasury will give to the leather inter
ests & bonus of 10 per cent. on goods made
from hides upon which no tax has been paid
by the manufacturer. On the other hand, If
the protectionist sensibly repudiates the alb
surd doctrine that the foreigner paws the duty,
and admits that the manufacturer will pay it
and add the amount of the duty to the price
which he charges the consumer, the rebate rat
constitute an indefehSi6te Discrimination
against the american consumer Of leather
goods In order that the New England manu-
facturer may compete with foreign manufacture
ers in the markets of Europe the government
will give him rebate on all the goods which
he exports equal to the amount of the duty on
imported hides, while the 10000, 900 OF
Americans must consent to pay higher price
for their shoes in order that the American
manufacturer may be protected. Why
should we not get shoes made by our man
ufacturers as cheap as they are sold abroad
