Throwina . Tub to the Whale.

Chicago Tribune: q revision of the
drawback law. such as the secretary of
the treasury offers as a substitute for
tariff revision, will enable manufac-
turers who use certain mn
ported dutiable raw materials to
enlarge their sales in foreign
markets. but will not enable them TO
sell more cheaply in home markets.
1t is well 70 aid those manufacturers,
but that In not enough.
AS the law stands, the man who can
show to the satisfaction of treasury
officials the quantity of foreign duti-
able materials used by him in goods he
exports gets a drawback of SO per cent.
of the duty. That Is a simple matter
In the case OF a tanner who buys Ar
gentine hides and converts them into
leather which he exports. 1t is not q
simple matter with the shoemaker who
may use in each pair of shoes he eX-
ports q little of the leather made out
OF those hides. The process of "identi-
ficatIon" of that leather is not an easy
one.
Why not repeal the duty on hides al
together, and thus cheaper leather for
Americans as we'll as foreigners The
only beneficiaries Of the duty are the
great packers. It was imposed to
please the cattle r~aisers, who thought
1t would help them. They sowed and
others leaped.
The drawback provisions of the tariff
act may we'll be liberalized, but that
will not be tariff revision. That viii
not be aiding the consumers. That
will not be striking at the rusts and
pools which will sell cheap abroad and
high at home while the tariff is un-
revised. The rail pool. which is glad
to sell steel rails abroad AZ from SIG
to $21 a ton, charges $2S a ton for them
at home, because there is a duty of
1854 a ton. Whatever amount is taken
off the duty will be taken off the price
asked railroads for rails.
The suggestion of drawback revision
is merely throwing a tub TO the whale.
1t is an effort to get the popular mind
away from the tariff revision. 1t will
10 work. The consumers are thinking
of their own grievous burdens due TO
certain monstrous features of the tariff
rather than of the restrictions it i'm
poses on some men who use imported
materials in making goods for export.
Those men would be pleased to see
tariff revision confined to them. The
manufacturers who use alcohol are arx-
ious to have the lax taken off it when
employed for their purpose. They
would be content to have tariff revision
stop there. What is demanded, and
must be had, is revision for the benefit
of the whole people and no a few
manufacturers.
