increases with complaeeney, not to say
downright satisfaction. Mr.. Clark and
his colleagues have allowed. themselves
TO assert that the bin is a sectional meas

prevailing in New England over free coal
and free hides and the higher cotton
duties. But it happens that the higher
cotton duties ft In precisely with the
Southern cotton manufacturing situa-
tion, particularly the 40 per cent
increase in the hosiery schedule. over
this particular schedule we are sure

are barking their own shins when they

intimate that New England is being Ia
vored at the expense OF Southern cattle
growers?
In remarking that the bin is sectional
because It does not lift any burden from
the shoulders OF the Southern farmer,
the minority appears 10 have overlooked
free cotton ties, which used TO be
slogan Of the old tariff reform days Ig-
nored also are the duties which protect
the Southern sugar, tobacco, and rice
plantations. the Southern fruit and pea

man. On the whole. the South appears
TO fare pretty well in the Payne revision.

Representatives from that section insist
upon IT, For instance. the Louisiana
rice growers have reached an agreement
with Mr.. Payne that the provision for
the free admission OF Philippine rice
shall be amended so as to impose a duty
on rice imported into the Philippines
whenever any Philippine rice appears in
the American market. This viii punish
the FiIpinos should they dare export any
rice TO this country by compelling them
to pay a higher price for the rice they

But. Of course. the southern consumer
fares no better than the Northern or the.
Western consumer. The Payne bin IS

protection Of American industries Tn

Minority View Of Tariff Bill.

The minority report on the tariff bin
takes up cudgels in behalf OF the neg
lected consumer. who has been left clean
out OF the reckoning in tariff revision
so Tar. That the new duties will tend
to increase the cost Of, living, as the mi
nority say. is quite probable A table
prepared by the experts Of the WAYS
and Means Committee shows that the
average ad valorem rates imposed by
the Payne bill are 156 per cent higher
than the rates in the Dingley law, the
most considerable Increase being in the
duties on food products, and the principal
decrease being in the lumber schedule
Considering the bin as a whole, therefore.
the idea that 1t IS a revision downward
IS preposterous. Notwithstanding free
coal. free iron ore. free hides. and free
lumber. wood pulp. and print paper.
These affect the manufacturing con-
sumer principally. Whether free raw ma
terials mean better prices for the man
who buys for personal consumption Is
dubious. in view OF the maintenance Of
high. and in many cases prohibitive, du-
ties on importations, thus protecting the
home market and enabling producers to
uphold domestic prices. We are inclined
10 think that the minority's point that

had hoped for some relief to the ultimate
