PROJECTIONS

n H. HEDGES of Ventura, who
has called attention to the fact
that the price of leather has
been increased so greatly by tariff that
cobbIers and shoemakers who do BUSH
ness on a small scale have practically
been deprived of a means of livelihood,
wrote letter on the subject to Con-
gresham S. C. Smith. That gentleman
made the following reply: Dear Sir:
] am in receipt of your favor of recent
date with reference to the duty on
hides, and will be pleased to keep the
same in mind when we take action on
the tariff bill. If the present duty is
responsible for the great increase in
the price of leather 1 am certain that
the law should be changed. Hoping
that we shall be able to give you relief
without injury to the stock growers
] am yours very truly. S. c. Smith,
Upon receipt of this Brother Hedges.
who is convinced he has right on his
side, spanked up and sent the following
tart epistle to Congressman Smith:
"Dear Sir. Your expression, hoping
that we shall be able to give you relief
without injury to the stock growers,
does not surprise me. If legislation can
be enacted that will not interfere with
or Inconvenience the cattle barons and
packing trusts then some relief might
be extended by our national congress
to the common people and mechanics
of my class. We have so long been
used to this class legislation that we
hesitate to ask any favors' or consider
alton at the hands of our lawmakers.
Again expressing my total lack of sur
prise at your attitude upon this tariff
issue 1 am very sincerely, o. H.
Hedges"
Mr.. Hedges scores a point when he
calls attention to the fact that for
some reason many of our honest and
worthy lawmakers have become firmly
possessed by the idea that instead of
making laws for the greatest good of
the greatest number the lawmaking
bodies should enact them for the bene-
ut Of people with most possessions; in
other words, that the aim of lawmak-
ing is the protection of property rather
than people. In comparison with the
vast multitude of cobblers, shoemak-
ors and workers in leather whose earn
ihs ability is being affected injuriously
~ the tariff on hides, which has given
the beef trust new source Of profit
fhe number of citizens who might be
affected by the reduction or removal Of
the duty is small, and they are finan'
ciaIly in a much better position r.
stand q loss than are the cobblers
ahoemakers and leather workers.
We think Mr.. Hedges attempt e
have his trade and his source of in
come protected by a removal Of thu
duty which enables the beef trust t.
make leather expensive affords an adj
ns,rable illustration of the high tariff
axstem in actual operation. In this
instance. as in others, 1t has the effect
Of protecting a privilege and Of attack
ing and injuring a defenseiess class o
Anerican citizens. More power to tbs
tobblers. Let them all speak up, and
us may yet whip the beef trust and it,

An Varieties OF Chinese
Are Equally Objectionable

the race question, the Chinese are far
the most important, simply because the
most numerous. The Hindus are not
important yet, and their inability to
take care of themselves in this coun-
try may prevent them from ever be-
coming important. The Japanese ques-
ton is the least serious. in the sense
that it raises no questions but the race
questionable Japanese in every other
respect is a desirable immigrant-but
1t is by far the most acute of pending
lions must be solved within the abso-
lutte principle that immigrants of the
same race can be assimiliated into one
homogeneous population, but that the
presence of populations of different
races means caste, or, what is more,
mongrelization. We have the caste in
the south, and are getting the mon
grelization in Hawaii. One of each is
all our institutions can endure.
