"a License to Steal.v

That must have been embarrassing
information to the United States senate
which Statistician Carroll D. Wright
furnished that body last week concern
ing the labor cost Of lumber in this coun.
try and in Canada. His figures showed
that, while the average wages in Canadi-
an sawmills is $1.41 and Sill per day
here, the average labor cost of 1000
feet of lumber is SIPS in Canada and
only "a cents here. The decreased cost
of production in this country is attrib-
uted to the superior machinery used.
Of course, the figures prove the free
trade contention that the rate Of wages
paid does not indicate the cost of pro.
duction-that low wages are very often
more expensive to employers, and vice
versa. But these hard facts furnished
by an officer of the government will not
fdissuade the lumber barons from their
purpose to get a tariff on Canadian lum

Single Taxer.
Under the Mckinley bill Of 1890 lin
ems were assessed 35 per cent, with a
few exceptions as high as so per cent
I'D valorem. Under the rates proposed
by the senate a large proportion of the
goods in everyday use will be assessed
from 65 to IS per cent. and in some
instances over 100 per cent. The fol-
lowing table shows some Of the changes
in the cost of medium and low grade

Colored canvas for dress lin

Linen for butchers aprons. 65 1912 2212
The domestic manufacturers in whose
interests these changes are supposed to
be made have stated that they do not
desire over 50 per cent. duty on linen
goods, and n of the principal manu-
facturers of linen and cotton handker-
chiefs in America (of Acheson, Harden
g. Co., Passaic, n. J.) states hat he does
not desire any advance of duty on his
goods.
The gross injustice of these duties
can be appreciated when it is remem-
bered that, owing to climatic condi-
tons, good fiber flax cannot be grown
or linen manufactured successfully in
this country, and when it is further re-
membered hat the kind of linen taxed
is the kind that is used by the poorest
classes, while a much lower duty is put
on the finer grades.
