Display of Tariff Exhibits

the name of the importer and the
name OF the country in which the art
icle was made. In support OF his con-
tention that such requirement
should be insisted upon so that a pur-
chaser In this country could know
Just what he was buying. Mr.. Lodge
produced a small medal. about the
size OF a dime. upon which, in perfect
ly legible characters. was stamped. on
one side. the fact that it was made
at the United States mint in Phila-
delphia. and, on the other, the COM
plete Lords prayer.
smoot, of Utah. contributed large
~ to the gayety of one days session,
and. incidentally strongly bolstered
up his argument by exhibiting razors.
Upon these the pending bill puts
higher duties. Mr.. Smoot showed
that his razors, which we're marked
on the box to sell for So each, were
Imported at a cost of less than $f2 a
dozen, and he declared that it would
make no difference to the individual
purchaser If the tariff on razor
should be Increased even 200 or 800
per cent they would not have to
pay any more for them. Mr.. Smoot
was SO earnest In the way in which
he brandished his razors under the
nose OF one of the southern senators
to whom he had taken it for examina-
ton that he was jokingly accused by
a fellow member Of having terrorlzed
him into submission. Smoot also
showed samples of wooden cloths.
Flint. Of California. produced
samples Of French chinaware which
cost. duty paid. at the port Of New
York. about $40 a set and which
were on sale in Washington stores
at $50. This was to illustrate his
argument that the tariff was not re-
sponslble for the high rates that con-
sumers have to pay so much as the

ltailers all Of whom have to have
