1t is said that President Roosevelt
has demanded an explanation Of OF how
the bill imposing IN surtax Of 100 per
cent on the classes OF cotton goods used
by the poor people OF. the Philippines
reached him without any one pointing
ont that it would do the Philippines Il
great injustice"
This does him credit, even though it
comes too late to help the Filipinos
against The tax and the surtax. But
with equal REASONS he might demand
an explanation Of the effects Of surfaces
at home il he has not yet learned how
they do a "sreat injustice" to those who
are compelled to pay them without be-
ing allowed to know how or why.
For example, seamless cotton stock
inRs for and hose and holf hose
for men are first taxed a reasonable
tar Of Is cents on the dollar Of
value. For the benefit Of monopoly
a surtax OF from 50 cents to 81 II dozen
is then added in addition to the tax OF
Is cents on the dollar Of value. The
surtax has another operation. 1t is
usually specific" That is; it is not a
tax on the value OF the goods, which
rises or falls with the market, but q
fixed tax OF so much a dozen, a yard, a
pound, n bushel or a ton, which rs u tax
on value increases its percentage rs the
value OF the article decreases in opcr

On clothing, on articles nf iron, tin

into general use, we have this system oi
taxes with surfaces, or taxes laid on the
top OF taxes, added for tho sole purpose
OF supporting monopoly prices in the
