Beauties OF the Dingley
Bid,

Some of our benighted Repnbil-
can Pensioners who believe the
Dingley tariff bill has been passed
and is a law already will be panied
to learn that as the measure is sholn
MP more thoroughly every Gay, The
fight that is being made against it be-
comes more vigorous, and the liberal
provision made for the sugar trust
and incidentally for The cane and
beet raiser may be somewhat shown
of its fair proportions. The pet
measure of trusts and monopolies, it
grows 10 responsiveness the longer it
is studied. The protective duly on
staw mating, which is used so large,
ly by people of small means, is one
repugnaot feature of the hill. Speak.
ing of this that staunch Republican
paper the Springfield Republican
says. "And what for, il there is no
straw mating industry in this coun-
try TO be developed? The reason
is plain. The ing,aih carpet manu-
~lacturers demand lie change 10 their
interests. They want people 10 ne
compelled 10 buy their goods instead,
The market for ingram carpets has
been reduced somewhat by he pre-
ference for mattings. This must be
stopped, and so Mr.. Dingley propo-
SEES to stop it by doubling the price
of straw uattings. Meantime, also,
the prices OF ingram capets are TO
be advaneed-must be, because oil
the demands Of the wool growers for
a high duty on carpet woods not p'o-
duced in this country, if the people
who prefer etaw mattings are taken
nv the throat end compelled TO pre-
fer ingtain carpets, the ingram man.
ufacturets can the more easily over
come the disadvantage oil high wool
duties. There is q method in all
tariff madness, and here is the meth
Cd Of this particularly mad and
uncomfortable proceeding. II Is a
case Of taxing a popular preference
into submission to the wishes OF a
single selfish interest. It is like
taxing wheat to compel people to
eat corn, or meat 10 compel them TO
eat fish, or wool clothing to compel
them to wear cotton, or wooden
houses to compel them TO build
brick and so profit the brickmakecs
1t is an unmitiga,ed outrage. and
will and and ought 10 cost the Re.
publican party thousands of votes"
