The Pavne tariff hill

The Payne tariff bill, when it
becomes a law, is expected to pro.
duce more revenue. To accom-.
plish this imports must necessarily
be lar gely increased, and when
foreign goods enter more freely
than before into the United States
it can only result in the curtail-
ment Of home production to make
room for the increased importa-
tions. Reduced home reduction
will have serious effect upon
American labor by putting it out
of work. There are more sides to
q tariff for revenue than that which
reflects the condition of the nation.

pie Of America would be better of
with more work than with treas

Elvins On Lead Duty.

Representative Elvins, of this
district, expresses himself as fol-
lows on the tariff on lead and barry
tes, as proposed in the new tariff
bill:
1.-THE tariff on lead ore is the
same as in the Dingley act, but it
has been changed on metallic, or
pig, lead, from q cents, which it
is under the Diogley law, and is
pow i46l&ded in the paragraph
with ls allion and lead ore at II
cents D. ound.
1.-THE lead which has been i'm
ported into this country, principal
ly from Mexico, came in the form
of lead bearing ore. That is, the
ore contained lead, silver and other
metals. Now. what is meant by
II cents on lead in ore is that if in
1000 pounds of ore imported from
Mexico there would be 100 pounds
of lead. the II cent duty would be
on the 100 pounds of lead and
would amount to 81. SO in taxes to
the government. Under the pres
ent law the II cents applies to the
manufactured lead as we'll as to the
lead in ore.
1.-THE effect of the bill would be
to encourage the establishment Of
lead concentrating mills and sme't
ers in Mexico, because if the lead
there produced were concentrated
and smeIted in Mexico, where, on
account of the difference in the cost
of labor, it could be done much
cheaper, it could then be imported
into this country and sold at less
price after the tariff of i cents
yer pound is paid upon it than we
of Missouri can pro6tably sell the
lead mined and smeIted there.
However, in view Of the fact that
there are 40 great concentrating
mills and great smelters now in
Mexico, it is to be hoped that the
tariff as proposed will not serious
ly affect the price of lead 10 this
country, nor stop the production
of it for some time to come, or at
least until such time as Mexicans
or American capital going to Mex.
leo begin building smeIters.
"In view Of the general senti-
ment over the country for q reduc'
tion of the tariff, and in view of
the fact l have mentioned concern
ing the establishment of mills and
smelters in Mexico, the lead seized
ule has Jared very we'll indeed at
the hands of the committee, and
we Missourians ought not to COM
plain on that score. We do have
a complaint to make, however, in
the matter of the tariff on barytes,
or tiff" which is left in the bill
lust as it is in the Dingley act,
which is not right. We wanted a
specific duty of IS on crude barry
tes and $12 ton on the manufac.
tured article. What we got was
Is cents a ton on crude barytes
and $5 a ton on the manufactured
article. Washington County, Mo. j.,
produces practically one.half of all
the barytes produced in the Unit
ed States and the industry is Ian
gushing and dying for the want
of protection against the cheaper
article imported into this country
from Germany, where it is produc.
ed by cheap labor and shipped
here by means of cheap transpor-
tation, coming as ballast in ocean
vessels. We have hopes of getting
this schedule corrected to TT the
conditions in Washington County,
and that opportunity may come
through a committe amendment,
and If it does not come that way,
the merits of an amendment to in.
crease the tariff will be fought out
lon the floor"

The Tariff Bill.

1t is difficult to 90 over the
schedules of the tariff bill prepar-
ed by the Ways and Means Com
mittee and estimate what effect it
will have in making the cost of
living a lighter burden upon the
laboriDg man in America, probably
not much. If any person expect
ed bill that would kill the trusts,
or that any bill could kill the
trusts, be will be disappointed.
The theory that putting trust made
goods, or monopoly goods, on the
free list will have that effect will
not be put to the test. Hides will
be admitted free, and 80 will iron
ore, coal and wood pulp. There
is little reduction on third class
wool, but none on first and second
class. Steel rails are cut one-half
and structural steel forty per cent,
but tin plate and other steel pro-
ducts are reduced but slightly.
Lead in ore is reduced, but zinc
ore is taxed at $40 a ton.
Slight reductions are made on
quite a number of things used in
manufacturing. On the other
hand there is an increase on some
things thst might be classed as
luxuries, for the purpose of in
creased revenue, a result which
may also follow the reduction or
some other articles, if enough
greatly to stimulate importations.
Print paper is reduced one-half,
also lumber so per cent. 1t would
be far better for the country il
lumber were also admitted fret
| and some check given to the de-
| structiou of our forests. A duty
of 8 cents pound is levied upon
tea. Coffee remains free. The
| reduction in sugar is 80 light no ont
but the importers will ever know
it.
On the whole it is more of q
revenue tariff than the present one
Necessit ' for more revenue is 81
great th,,t the bill contains a pro
vision for taxing fnheritances, ant
for issuing treasury certificate
when needed to the amount o
$3.50, 100000. The bill is to go in
to effect Immediately upon becom
ing law, unless Congl ess change
that provision, which it is not Ike
ly to do.
This is the bill as the Ways ant
Means Committee has reported III
Every interest in the country IN
favorably affected by it, or dissat-
isied with what it does not do, will
now begin to work upon both the
House and Senate to get the sched-
ule changed up or down, and what
the final outcome will be no one
can predict, save that there will be
little visible change in general con.
ditions as result of it, except.
possibly, an effort to reduce wages
in the steel industry. There has
been such an effort to compensate
manufacturers in one way foe what
they lose in another, except II
steel, lumber and paper, that there
will be little excuse for walse re
duotions. ST. Louis Star.
