New England
Tariff Bill
West and South Pay Tri-
butte To Eastern
Manufacturers

Washington. D. G., March lS.-The
tariff bill introduced in congress yes
terday Is strictly New England bill.
From whatever standpoint Il is consid-
cred. the inevitable conclusion is that
Il is framed for the advantage OF the
manufacturers.
= The West and South will find no
benefit in the schedules. The Demo
cratic sections that clamored for a
tariff revision downward, and forced
the Republicans to act, have been
chastifed by the Republicans.
The products OF the farm are dis
criminated against and the South es-
pecIally suffers Hides are placed IN
the free list, duties on wool are re
duced. cotton seed oil is on the free
list and products Of the live stock in.
dustrles are restricted in foreign mar.
kets. And while 4 IS true that the
tariff on manufactured articles is in
a great many cases reduced, It is
not at all in proportion to the reduc-
tion on the raw materials.
The reduction in iron ores is Of such
a nature as will hurt the independent
operators OF the south. but not the
steel trust.
The demand Of the West that lumber
be placed on the free list was not heed
ed. though cut Of about 50 per cent
was made.
Placing raw materials which are pro
duced in the South and West on the
free list. only makes those materials
cheaper to the manufacturers who Will
sell his protected wares no cheaper,
thus the farmer gets less for his prod
ucts and pays the same for the same
product manufactured that he does
