That the outrages OF the night
riders in Kentucky and Tennessee
resulted from the oppression Of the
America Tobacco Company and
that unless the internal revenue tar
on leaf tobacco IN the hand is repeal.
ed, these outrages will again occur,
was the declaration made by Senator
Bradley OF Kentucky 10 urging the
adoption of his amendment to the
senate bill.
This amendment proposes TO re-
storein the tariff bill the house provi-
sion for the free sale Of leaf tobacco
by the farmer. which vas striker
out by the finance committee of the
senate.
After reviewing the growth Of the
American Tobacco Company. Mr..
Bradley said that. not content with
destroying all competition in the
United States, this concern drove
the Imperial Tobacco Company Of
Great Britain. its chief competitor,
to a compromise and obtain an
agreement by which the Imperial
YIELDED up all competition in the
United States.
"Frsnce. Austria, Italy. Portugal
ard other countries each meanwhile
decreed that the government would
buy and import tobacco as a bust
ness. the profit going into the Golfers
of the government under What is
known as the Reggie system" said
Mr.. Bradley.
"The American Tobacco CON-
any. seeing the danger in this direc-
ton, entered into conspiracy with
the Reggie agents by which the terri
tory should be and was divided. all
agreeing TO pay the same fixed price
and allotting the territory into we'll
defined districts. so that there could
be no conflict Of interests.
Thus the producers found them
selves powerless and hemmed in on
every side, continued Mr.. Bradl
and after appealing to congress with
out effect as a last resort organized
the pooling societies. which resulted
in saturnalia of crime in Ken
lucky and Tennessee. While de.
nouncing the nightrider outrages,
Mr.. Bradley declared that the tobac-
co leaf growers we're so sorely press
ed that they we're forced to combine
to protect themselves and that the
crimes which resulted we're due to
trusts oppression.

A writer in the American Maya.
zine, who has made carful study Of
the effect of the duty on raw hides
and shoes, comments as follows :
cit was hard enough fer the poor to
buy shoes 10 years ago before the
pingley tariff, but with every year
since il has been harder. In wo-
mans ordinary shoes there has been
an Increase Of something like IS per
cent over the average price in the
years from 1890 to 1899. There
has been a corresponding increase il
all varieties of boots and shoes,
Say that II has been 20 per cen,
and see what that means to your
family of four, which can spend but
$40 year on clothes and must put
S11.81 of II on shoes. But why
should shoes increase in cost1 They
ought to decrease, such has been the
extraordinary advances in shoe
machinery and methods. This hard,
ship comes from the tariff on hides
In 1897 by the Dingley bill. AND
Why a traitf on hidesl Simply tc
compel the American shoemaker
to pay more for his leather"
