A TIMELY REVIEW
OF TARIFF HEARING
Every Citizen Interested in Provisions of the New Tariff

Washington, Mar. 15.-Fully 800

various hearings which began on No

nearly eight hours. His testimony,
while witty and entertaining. did not
offer the tariff makers much specific
information regarding the cost of
manufacturing steel rails and other
articles of steel. He dealt largely in
theories and deductions and avoided
figures, claiming that he was not ia
miliar with the details of the steel
business at the present time. but
spoke from his general knowledge
gained in the business before he re-
tired to private life.

representing the American Newspa-
per Publishers Association, and de-
fence of the international Paper
Company by Chester w. Lyman, the
assistant to the president OF the com
pany, offered one of the sensations
of the hearings. The ways and means
committee, while taking the keenest
interest in the testimony, was pre-
disposed to depend upon the report
of the special committee which CON
Quoted hearings on wood pulp ana
print paper last year for the intor-
matiou upon which to base its con-
illusions regarding the paper and
pulp schedule.
The proposition to have the values
of articles upon which an ad yalorem
duty is imposed determined by the
Wholesale prices in this country as
well as the cost at the place of pro-
duction was first discussed at the
hearings given the pottery interests,
This method of collecting the duties
would permit the appraisers to call
upon witnesses in this country for
information, which, under the pres
ent method of collecting ad valorem

advanced as a means for preventing

duties have been imposed. Several
cases of differentiation were present
ed to the committee by the pottery
manufacturers, who favored an in
crease in the duties on the better
grades of china.
The importers advanced arguments
for a reduction of 2 5 per cent in the
duties on pottery.
As at all former tarin hearings.
there was a fight between the shoe
and leather manufacturers of New
England and the cattle raisers of the
west. The leather manufacturers
were loath to admit that their in
dustry could stand a reduction in
the duties on shoes and other leather
articles. but urged that the raw ma
terial should be placed on the free
list. An amusing incident occurred
when one of the shoe men admitted
that with free hides the shoe manu-
facturers would be able to compete
with foreign manufacturers without
tarin protection. This caused the
leather manufacturers to assemble
their forces and present arguments
to show that the duty on the manu-
factured article should not be re
duced.
Elisha w. Cobb, manufacturer OF
heavy leather, of Boston, Mass, told
the committee that the tariff on hides
accrued only to the benefit of the
packers, and not to the farmer and
cattle raiser. He declared that the

gagged in the tanning business and
look forward to the time when they
will have complete monopoly in the
hide business and in the sole and up

The wool schedule was the occa-
sion for more contention than any
other, and during its consideration
there was much criticism of the
methods by which tariff bills are
framed While William Whitman Of
Boston. representing the national
wool manufacturers. was on the
stand. Representative Clark of Mis-
souri, placed in the record a pam
phlet which purported to inform the
ways and means committee "how tar
if laws are framed. The name OF
the author of the pamphlet was given
as Frank p Bennett of Boston.
The place you get in your work
is not in the house of representatives
or in the ways and means committee.
but is in the senate, isn't it2' was
one Of the characteristic questions
asked by Champ Clark Of Mr.. Whit
man.
The wool growers OF Ohio and the
Western states declared emphatically
to the committee that further pro-
lection must be given the industry
or the wool growing business would
be entirely wiped out. The woolen
manufacturers also asked that the
present duties at least be retained on
their product. There were several
supplementary hearings on the wool
schedule, all of which indicated that
the various branches of the industry
differ rs to the proper classification
and differentials to be established in
the tariff. The carpet manufacturers

declared that the classification in the
present tariff is unjust to their in
dustry and similar claims We're made
by other manufacturers There was
much testimony which shed consid-
cradle light on the methods employed
in the manufacture of WOODEN fabrics.
indicating that much so-called pure
wool clothing contains considerable
shoddy and rags. This called forth
the suggestion from Representative
Clark that there should be a pure
clothing law similar in its objects to
the pure food law
The admission from tine Philip
pines free OF duty. Of 100000 tons
of sugar was the first proposition on
which the ways and means commit
tee agreed. This action was taken
by the committee following a confer

by Edwin +. Atkins, OF Boston, that
there was great danger of an insur-
rection in Cuba ii the tariff on sugar
is not reduced and the arguments
made by Claus Il. Spreckles. of New
York. in favor of n reduction in the
duty we're the striking features of
the hearings on the sugar schedule
Secretary of War Wright appeared
before the committee in favor of free
sugar from the Philippines. He de-
clared that the so-called sugar trust
was understood to own 81 per cent

cries and that that is possibly the

quire tariff protection. and said that
If the duty on steel should be re-
moved, the United States Steel Cor
poration, of whose board of directors

monopoly of the market. The cost
of labor would be reduced. he said,
of the tariff on steel was taken off
entirely. In the course of his testi-
mony Judge Gary declared in favor
of government control of .manufac-
turers to prevent them from charging
a price which would give them more
than fair return on their invest
ments
Mr.. Schwab. who was formerly the
president of the steel corporation

Gates for the protection of the steel
industry to appear before the com

of members of the committee were

oped in Germany.
The agitation for free lumber by
those in sympathy with the move

An Era Il Prosperity. !

The official figures for the month
of June given out today by President
NJ. q. Justice show Keokuk and the
Central Association in the midst of
the most prosperous season Of or
ganized baseball in this part Of the
country. The figures of Keokuk alone
stand out as true evidence Of the
condition of the league and the pat
ronage afforded by the people of that
great world Of fandom which is adding
to its members day by day and year
by year.
The figures show that during the
month Of June. 1909. an increase in
the attendance figures over that month
of the preceding year has been 5,013.
Of this increase nearly 5000 is cred
tied to Keokuk
