WOLLENS LOWER. HE SAYS
S. VI. MlLiken 4Sstrts That Present
Tariff FdrOrs Consumers.

S. NJ. Mlken. or Deering. Miliken q Co VINO
are among the largest woollen goods manufacturers
in this country. yesterday that Il was an ex-
cellent thing for the consumer that the rates on
Woollen fabrics had been changed in the new
tariff
Many claims have been made Mr.. Milnken
said. that the result OF not lowering the woollen
goods tariff would be an immediate increase in
prices. and that the tariff should be lowered so
that YoOllen fabrics would be cheaper for the con-
sumner. Instead Of this being true. lock for lower
prices for woollen goods very soon. ! think this
VIII be the case. / expect the raw material to
go down. Wool Is too high, The price must
40 down, and when # does get a proper level
the price Of the manufactured article will 90 down
But the idea that a low tariff would mean
cheaper woolien goods is altogether wrong. Under
the Wilson tariff, which the lowest tariff this
country has known for many years. Woollen goods
were higher than they have been at any time since.
The reason is that under low tariff American
manufacturers cannot compete with foreign made
goods And when there is no competition prices
20 up Under a reasonable tariff. such we have
IN the new law. the American manufacturer can
afford 10 run his looms high grade products.
Then there is competition and prices go down.
1t seems paradoxicsl to say that when the price
Of foreign made woollen goods Is SO low that the
American manufacturer cannot go into the market
the consumer pays more for his cloth But this Is
easily explained. manufacturer who is making
high grade goods must keep his looms constantly
on that work He cannot make cheap goods one
day and high grade goods the next"

NAY KILL CUBAN TREATY.
BrOuSSard Says President Must
.4brOgdte 1t Under Ne7c Las.

Washington. Aug. 6.-President Taft must abrO-
gate the Cuban reciprocity treaty or, 1t is said, he
Will be unable TO grant 20 France. Germany and
other sugar producing countries the advantages Of
the minimum rates Of duty OF the Payne tariff law.
This is made the subject Of letter sent to-day
70 the President by Representative Broussard. OF
Louisiana.
The Cuban treaty contains clause which stipu-
lates that the Dingey rates of duty sugar snail
not be reduced by treaty convention long
as the treaty remains in force. according 20 Mr..
Broussard. He contends that the President before
issuing proclamation putting into effect the min
imum provisions OF the tariff law against a
foreign country. would have into an agree
country did discriminate against American
products. Mr.. Broussard says that such agree
ment would he in the nature Of a treaty con-
vention in the meaning ~ the Cuban treaty. and
would therefore he I'm violation Of its terms.
The Payne Law, under its minimum provisions
makes reduction OF 500 ~ a cent a pound In
the Dingley differental on refined sugar and Mr.
Broussard expresses the conviction that a procia-
nation issued by the President putting in effect
the lower duty and based on an agreement with a
sugar producing country would he I'm contravention
with the terms Of the Cuban reciprocity treaty.
Mr.. Broussard believes the only solution Of the
situation is 10 abrogate the Cuban reciprocity
treaty. The effect Of this. he said. would be 10
make the duty on sugar from cuba high II
is on sugar from other foreign countries. Cuban
sugar now comes in a reduction Of % per cent
in the regular duties.

lingering illness from the bursting
of an abscess in his chest The boy
was real sick last fall with the
measles and he never appeared to re-
cover wholly from the effects of that
sickness. He was sick several times
during the winter from which he
would recover, but it would only ap-
pear to be temporary. He finally ha6
a gathering in the head near the ear.
He was taken to Riverview hospital
and operated upon. This relieved his
condition and he was some better
for while, after that, but was taken,
sick again and died as above stated.
The funeral service was held from
the home at 2:30 o'clock Monday
afternoon, June %, Rev. Richard
Evans officiating. The remains were
laid at rest in Forest Hill Cemetery.
The floral tributes were many and
beautiful and a large number of
Perry's little school mates and
friends were present to pay their
last respects to their class mate and
friend. The following relatives were
present to attend the funeral SER
vices: Mrs. VIM. Sharp of West
Allis, Mrs. John Cushman of Arnott,
Mr. and Mrs. Guy Morrill, of Stew
ems Point, Mrs. Grace Clark of Plain
field. Mrs. Chas. Hall and Mrs Grim
of Amherst and Mrs. Brawley of
