High Duties On Buttons.

The button manufacturers, present
and prospective, are unusually greedy
IN their demands for tariff duties Mo-
Kinley duties are entirely too slow for
the button infants. Tho following Is
part Of statement made by button i'm
porters:
The proposed duties ON buttons, as
per schedule Of the finance committee
Of tho senate, arc as q yule prohibitory
and would prove q severe hardship on
goods used by tho poorer and middle
classes, and also 10 manufacturers OF
various garments used by tho inaas Of
our people. such as low priced shirts.
underwear. clothing. etc. The follow
Ing data will give some idea of the In
equalities of the proposed duties:

duty of one-twelfth Of cent per line

that mako up the great bulk of the i'm

which example has grown into a Gus
tom with protected interests-and aek
for "more" Possibly also he might
form political trusts or combines to de-
mand "more" and raise millions Of dol
lars to send lobbies 10 Washington to
bribe congress. While protection is In
order export duties are tho fsrmer's on
ly hope. With them he may hope not
only to change his losses to profits, but
also to regain thnt power and position
which wero once his, but which have
long since passed into the hands Of tho
manufacturers.
Second. 1t is also fitting to recognize
tho laboror In the distribution Of tariff
profits. Like the farmer, be now puts
his hand into bis pocket TO help swell the
profits Of protection, practically none
Of which comes his way. II Is not an
easy matter to equalioo the benefits
Of protection 30 that the workingman
shall get bis full share A probibitive
duty on imported labor might In tho
course of time afford soino protection
by restricting the supply Of labor, 30
that manufacturers could carry out
their good intentions Expressed when
asking for higher duties) and pay
American wages to American work
ingnen.
At present the condition Of working
men IN tho protected industries Is pitia-
bic in tho extreme. The Philadelphia
Ledger, good Republican paper, told
us about May that IN the protected
iron and coal industries of Pennsylvania
the wage rate has been reduced 30 low
that it is scarcely sufficient to provide
the necessaries of decent, sanitary liv-

contend, not against tho employers for
the highest wages, but among each
other for tho lowestT' "As appears by
tho testimony presented to the legisla-
tive committee, " Z" y they herd In squa-
lor, subjects of abject penury, and are
beset by disease, dirt and hunger" The
Ledger thinks our immigration laws
are defective and improvident" and
suggests that Ito properly protect
American workmen congress should
pass an immigration as we'll as tariff
bill" This is good idea and should
be acted upon at once. The only wonder
is that somo of tho good manufacturers,
IN their anxiety to protect and raise the
wages of their workingmen, did not
think Of this plan before. Then, If they
should have law passed which should
make it compulsory for them to give at
least one-half Of their protection and
monopoly profits to their employees,
protection would begin to be an all
around blessing, The manufacturers
might still be getting the lions share,
but they would not get all

I have talked with tho farmers IN 70

PERFEcTINo PROTECTION.
Two sligas Changes Suggested In the In

Two Sligat Changes Suggested In the In
forest OF Farmers and Laborers.
Tho senate Is now engaged in remedy
ing the small imperfections Of the Ding
ley bill, which, as oil good protection
lists assert, Is ono of the best tariff bills
ever drafted. 1t distributes It's blessings
to alEfarmer, laborer and manufao-
turer. Without doubling the good inten-
tions of the makers, we wish to suggest
inc or two minor details which might
possibly help the bill to fulfill tho ex-
pectations of It's authors:
First. st.-Lubin's 3 export bounty scheme
might enable the farmer TO got small
slice Of the benefits Of protection. OF
course the farmer doesn't oxpect-espe-
cially at first-to get as much of the
benefits as the manufacturers have been
getting for 80 years. A protection Of
about 30 per cent--that Is 10 cents per
bushel on wheat. 3 cents on corn, etc.
would satisfy him, while II takes four
times as much to satisfy ordinary tariff
infants.
This small export duty would not
make good the farmers loss because Of
import duties ON manufactured prod.
ucts. saying nothing about past losses.
but In course of time, after his industry
had felt the stimulating effects Of real
protection "what protects" the farmer
might muster up courage enough to fol-

These buttons ore not made here, nor

cause little or none Of the raw material
required has been found here; second,
because the total sales being limited to
this country would not warrant the
investment Of tho necessary capital In O
plant needed to make the vai iious styles
wanted. 1t is evident that the intention
is to exclude these goods In tho interest
of some higher cost goods. The proposed
duty would be real hardship and bear
heavily on the class Of people who buy
