the manufacturing interest Speaking
tor this interest the Boston CONNER
cIal Bulletin. in an article entitled
The Hide Duty Must Co. says:
"A few years ago it did not matter
so much whether there was a duty on
hides or not, foreign producers
were making shoes by old methods and
therefore could not produce a shoe
at price low enough to keep our
shoes out OF their markets Now, how
ever, the situation has changed. For
e1gn manufacturers have visited our
factories and seen the results obtained
with up-tO-date American machinery.
This has caused them to fit out their
factories with our machinery, and they
have even gone far as to engage
American workmen to teach their own
the proper way to obtain the best re
suits All this has pointed more

The Dingley tarin law was framed
for the benefit Of all citizens and in

be satisfied to reap personal advan-
tageS, even at the direct expense OF
their fellow citizens.
As between the rival contentious OF
those who produce the hides and those
who make them up into shoes and
boots, perhaps the safest and fairest
arbiters would be those who buy and

THEY BEGIN TO SEE 1T.

The London Iron and Coal Trades
Review says that when the iron and
steel Industries of the United Kingdom
begin to give way, as they are doing at
present, it is not unreasonable to as
sumo that the whole Industrial fabric
is more less the eve of a serious
change This, it says, appears to be the
general expectation in Great Britain
at the present time. When an Ameri-
can writer a couple of years ago di-
rected attention to the imminence of
an industrial change such that now
generally expected, the London Spec
tator and Their British free trade
journals pooh-poohed the suggestion.
They WE'RE unable to perceive, what
this trade journal clearly sees, that
the iron and steel industries '<are the
basis of all the other mechanical in
dustries-of shipbuilding, general en-
cheering, foundry operations, and a
thousand minor industries that may
be named" When basic industry is
in jeopardy all those resting upon it
are sure to suffer. fact which the
optimistic free traders will be sure to
appreciate before long, although they
are unable to do so now.-San Fran

ed the leather manufacturer was
protected. After the hide has been
made into leather the dealer can ship
it to foreign countries and a rebate
Of Is per cent is allowed him by the
government. This makes it possible
for the foreign shoe manufacturer to
buy our leather from to 10 per cent
cheaper than the manufacturers in this
country can buy it, Now when our
producer is Obliged to pay from 5 to
10 per cent. more for leather manufae-
tured in this country than a foreign
buyer has to pay for the same leather
1t is certainly high time that some
thing was done by congress to remedy
such a state of affairs, and the only
step that can be taken is to strike from
the tariff list this unfair duty
"A protective tariff is a good thing
in many ways, but when this protec-
ton dscriminates against American
industries, as it has in this case, the
commodity in question should be placed
on the free list.
1.-The only people benefited by this
duty are a half dozen western mil
nonaires and those affected are not
only the manufacturers but the entire
public as we'll. The cattle growers OF
this country are not benefited by this
duty as they sell their cattle the
hoof and therefore do not handle
hides. While exports of shoes
amounted to about 81, O0O, 600 last year,
it is possible, with the duty removed,
to increase this amount tenfold, but it
can never be done with the duty in
force
This would seem to be conclusive as
to the propriety of placing hides on
the free list provided all the conten-
tions were to pass undisputed- Such,
however, is not the case There is an
other point of view from which the
question bears a totally different as
pect- Concurrently with the Plea OF
the Commercial Bulletin, comes Wig
orous showing by the Helena, Mont,
Record, on the other side of the queS-
ton The Montana editor, speaking in
, behalf of the men who raise cattle,
finds ample ground for the claim that
the tariff on hides should not be taken
off; certainly not, if the tariff on shoes
is to remain on. The Montana man
says:
Just why the reduction of the duty
on hides would increase the export
business is not clear, when the pro-
visions of the present tariff allows
drawbacks on all articles on which
duty is paid, when again exported. The
drawback in the case of shoes is SO per
cent of the duty paid on the imported
| hides.
THE duty has been of great benefit
| to the farmers and stock raisers of the
country, in spite of the denIals of the
shoe manufacturers, who claim the
packers have reaped all the benefits
! The fact that the prices of cattle have
| increased, beginning immediat ely upon
| the adoption of the tariff, confirms this
statement.
! NO doubt there are others besides
the shoe manufacturers who would like
