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 or less on 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 as that now
generally expected, the London Spec
tator and o 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
thousand minor industries that may
be named" When a basic industry is
in jeopardy all those resting upon it
are sure to suffer, a fact which the
optimistic free traders will be sure to
appreciate before long, although they
are unable to do SO now.-San Fran

pecial benefit, and once the gates were
opened for such changes, there would
be no stopping
The Dingley tariff law was framed
for the benefit of all citizens and in
dustries, and not to aid any one at the
expense of others. 1t has benefited
the shoe manufactures, without inn
posing any hardship upon them, and.
their business has increased beyond
the fondest hopes of the most optimis-
tic. 1t has also been of inestimable
benefit to other manufactures and the
farmers, stock raisers and laborers of
the entire country, and there is no
reason for changing it, beyond the sell
fish desires of selfish men, who would
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 fa1rest
arbiters would be those who buy and
use the manufactured product. 1t does
not appear that the great body of do
nestle consumers are worrying much
about the duty on hides. They keep.

fitting, best looking and lowest-priced

best consumers the manufacturers
could find if he searched through all
creation Neither is the domestic
consumer of the American shoe pro-
duct very greatly grieved over the fact
that the export price is a trif1e lower
than the domestic price. 1t is the hav-.
ing of the price in his pocket, rather
than the price of the thing itself, that
chiefly concerns him. 1t was when he
didn't have the price, no matter how
cheap it was, that he made trouble.
But that dismal time ended when the
country was given a tariff law that fur

A Classical Irish SCHOLAR.

Mr.. James MacIvor, the librarian OF

for several years with success. He pre-
ferred, however, scholarly seclusion to
the hustle of forensic life, and accept

of university prizes in Arabic and in

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 5 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 manufac-
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.
The only people benefited by this
duty are a half dozen western mil
lionaires, and those affected are not
only the manufacturers but the entire
public as well. The cattle growers or
this country are not benefited by this
duty, as they sell their cattle on the
hoof, and therefore do not handle
hides. While our exports of shoes
amounted to about 81 1000 900 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-
lions were to pass undisputed. Such,
however, is not the case. There is an
other point of view from which the
question bears totally different as
pect. Concurrently with the plea or
the Commercial Bulletin, comes a 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 80 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 Immediately upon
the adoption of the tariff, confirms this
statement
No doubt there are others besides
the shoe manufacturers who would like
the tarin law manipulated for their En-

THE DUTY ON HIDES.
HOW 1T AFFECTS SHOE MEN
AND CATTLE RAISERS
Some Conflicting Vfews-Duty Should
Not BE Removed-Aids the Country's
Internal and Export Trade-Both sides
in the Controversy Heard.

The fact that there are two sides to
every question has seldom been more
clearly illustrated than in the argu-
ment for and against the removal OF
the duty on hides. Here we have the
shoe manufactures of New England
strenuously contending for non-duti-
able hides as an absolute necessity in
the manufacturing interest. Speaking
for 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 duty on
hides or not, as foreign producers
were making shoes by old methods and
therefore could not produce a shoe
with the style of the American article
at a 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 so far as to engage
American workmen to teach their own
the proper way to obtain the best re-
suits. All this has pointed more
strongly than ever to the fact that the
duty on hides must be taken off if our
export trade is to be given a chance
to grow.
''On all hides imported this duty is

INTERFERING
WITH A THEORY

Mrs. Graham is a lady of the old
school. She obeyed her parents when
she was young and afterward success
fully brought up six children of her own
who came when they were called and
otherwise betrayed an active belief in
the theory that the maternal word was
law and the end of all things.
Therefore, Mrs. Graham took it hard
when her third daughter, Susan, be-
came convert to the new theories
on the proper way of disciplining jul
veniles and developing their intellects.
Susan's 9-year-old daughter, Adaline
was going to grow to maturity with
out the humiliation of corporal pun
ishment, without the breaking of her
proud spirit, without the crushing of
her originality into conventional
molds. At least. that is how Susan
explained her theories to her mother
when Mrs. Graham demonstrated at
Adaline's elevating her muddy boots
to resting place on a new $40 Per-
sian sofa pillow adjoining her grand
mothers davenport. Mrs. Graham had
suggested the old-fashioned application
of the back of hairbrush as suitable
to the case, but Susan had cast up her
hands in horror.
