their beef (hides being by-product)
is 1T right to put this duty on the
animal and another ON dts hide?
The packer has right to go into
the tanning business, but the COVER
nment has no right to put duty on
the hides that he controls so that he
can get monopoly of the business.
The next step is the manufacture of
shoes. after that he will retail them
as the American Tobacco company
does their goods. He can do this only
through the duty ON hides, without
the duty he cannot accomplish his pu
pose. We mean to fight for our
rights and need your help; the indie
pendent hide man, the independent
tanner, the shoe manufacture ..
need your help or very soon they Wal
be put out of business. The customer
at large needs your help, with free
hides lit means better shoe for less
money or the same shoe for less mon
ey Give us your help. Sit down at
once and write a letter to the Honor
able Anselem j.. M'Laurin and H. ID.
Money, United States Senators, Wash
ington, d. c., and tell them they
must do their utmost to fight for the
people, for free hides, and not be a
party to legislation for the benefit of
the packers. Get two or three of you
friends to write letters-we want the
Senators to understand lit as fight
of the people against the packer"
We presume that others engaged
i'm similar business have received a
fac-simile of said letter and in responS
to the same we would say, but not
anbagonistic to the project, that sur
veying the situation from a view
point as regards our material interest
i'm Affairs of trade in general within
the borders of old Mississippi, the
land of the brave, the home of the
mammoth oaks, which bow with ges-
tWe of frankness and dignity char
acteriStic of the kings of the forest
in response to the zephyr breeze
laden with the health giving ozone
fresh from the Gulf of Mexico, and
which land has the honor of being
the birth place of such learned and,
famous men as our two Senators VIII
by their wonderful powers of oratory
and personal magnetism sway the
sentiments of their colleagues in the
national hall of legislation, that their
action can be depended on at all
times for our advantage. Taking
the whole matter into consideration
we are proud to note the fact that
such implicit confid ence can be plac-
ed i'm our distinguished congressman
to do their utmost in duty i'm our be-
half; i'm view of the fact that their
past political career has been with
out a superior. But if we direct our
few remarks of commenda ton more
particularly TO our Uncle Anse,
yet the readers at a distance will
please remember that We are juStifi-
able in doing so as he is from our
immediate section of country and wei
are especially proud of his great per-
Sonage, and together with the efforts
of the scholarly and national famed
H. d. Money, who ever has at heart
and under their watchecaTe the i'm
terest of their humble supporters, wei
cam assure ourselves that they viii
protest loud and long against any I'M
just tariff legislation. However, pos
Sibly 1T might serve as a stimulus toll
our law makers to note the prevailing
sentiment manifested to that end
but it suffices to say that your ''Un-
Gle Anse" is always there with the
goods" and with his long experience
as powerful factor in the law max
dng body that we can depend on him
and Senator Money to institute pro-
ceedings which will result in mutual
benefit to all of the subjects of such
laws as they may see fit to enact |
and for the betterment of commercial
affairs i'm general
Since concluding our letter the
writer notices i'm the Clarion-Led-
ger that the committee ON finance
has recommended the continuance O
Is per cent duty ON hides.
