VOICES OF THE PRESS.
The Duty on Hides.
american EcOnomist)

tAmcrlcan F.cOnomlSt.)
In replying to the assertion of the
Waterville "Sentiner' that the Tariff
on hides adds 10 cents to the price of
every pair of shoes and costs the
people of Maine $4,000 a year more
than under the Wilson law the Kennr-
bee journal" makes the excellent
point that shoes are as cheap today as
they were in the dismal period of 1895
1897. The "Journal' might have gone
farther and shown that the Tariff
affects only the heavier hides used in
making sole leather, and that tho dupy
of IL per cent cannot possibly increase
the cost more than cents pair
This cost comes out of the manu-
facturer'S profit and not out of the
consumers pocket. Yet large num-
Der OF shoe manufacturers have be-
come enormously rich, ana are getting
richer very fast in spite of that Il pei
cent, duty on hides. Rightly the
"Journal' contends that this duty
should be retained because the
farmers want it. Abolish the duty on
what the farmers have to sell and the
farmers would very quickly demand
the removal of duties on what they
have to buy. That would mean the
end of all Protective duties Though
they apparently have not sense enough
to see il, those who urge the removal
of the duty on farm products practi-
cally advocate Free-Tradc That is
the size of it.

The State PRINTING.


Two years ago, when the contracts
We're awarded, tn" Sentinel was s'.c-
ccssful in securing The miscellaneous.
or Class B, printing. We cnn;cnG"d
that in this class the official ballots
should properly be included. Thy
were however, given IL the ktnncbnc
Journal and when we complained
about the matter, the Journal curly
Informed US that. under the law"
the official ballots We're not state
printing at all but were Il sort of an
adjunct of the Secretary of State s
office. The law has not been changed
and yet. under Class b, in the n,~'
specifications we find the official ballot
where, as we claimed. it legally be-
longed in 1905.-Waterville Sentinel
The foregoing statements are about
as near the truth as the Sentinel
usually gets when it undertakes to de-
part from its peculiar field Of humor
and deal with alleged facts The
Journal has stated that when bids for
the State printing were called for two
years ago the printing of the
Australian ballot was not included for
the reason that under the Statute law
it was left in the hands of lhc
secretary of State. The Sentinel
claimed that it was entitled to this
printing under the Glass B division,
when, as a matter of fact, the ballots
were not put into any class of the
State printing contracts.
1t now asserts that it has been
''vindicatcd' in this position by the
fact that in the new call for bids the
Governor and Council has included the
Australian ballots in one of the
divisions of Glass b. THE law" it de-
clares has not been changed" This
statement is absolutely incorrect.
Whether it was due To the ScntinelS
pr"vcrbial ignorance of public matters
or to its disposition to misrepresent
facts for the purpose of making
political capital makes little differ
ence. The plain fact is THE LAW
WAS CHANGED BY THE LAST
legislature giving the Governor and
council absolute control over ALL
THE PRINTING AND PRINTED
SUPPLIES FOR WHICH TIE,
STATE SHALL BE HOLDEN TO
PAY" Chapter 80. of the laws of 1907,
approved March 6, 1907, reads as
follows:
An Act to further define State Print
ing
Section l. The terms state printing
ana miscellaneous printing, as used in
chapter one hundred fifty-five of the
public laws of nineteen hundred and
five shall be deemed to mean all the
printing and printed supplies for which

| required in the execution of the state

seem as if its readers We're justly
entitled to know the foregoing facts.
