WATCH MANUFACTURERS FIND
THAT REDUCTION is BUT A
MERE MYTH.
Offers No improvement in Present
Conditions, But Favors the
Watch Trust.

WASHINGTON, April .3-(SpeciaD
Now come the independent watch
manufacturers with statement to the
effect that in addition to all the other
"jokers" in the Payne tariff bill, there
is also one in the watch schedules
When the tariff bill was reported
the ways and means committee gave
everyone to understand there had been
real reduction in the tariff on watches.
However, the column where the net
reduction should have appeared, was
left blank The phraseology in the bill
relative to duties on watches was, like
that concerning coffee and number
of articles, so complicated as. to be
meaningless to the average person.
Watch dealers have now had time to
investigate the watch schedules, and
report reduction ON wathces is as much
of myth as reduction" on other ar
ticles claimed by the trainers of the
Payne bill.
The duties on watches appear to
have been revised solely in the inter-
ests of the watch trust, the revision in
the Payne bill offering no improve
ment over the present condition, which
permits American watch manufacture
ers to exact larger prices for their
goods in the United States than they
receive after paying transportation to
foreign countries.
Walk into any jeWelry store in the
United States and ask to be shown
the best watch made by the American
Waltham Watch company, of Waltham,
Mass, and the dealer will display a
Waltham watch known as the River
side Maxmus." The price will be SIS,
or you may possibly be able to buy
the article for $50. But under no cir
cumstances can you purchase he
watch mentioned from a retail dealer
for less than $50, because he is under
an 'ironclad'' agreement with the trust
to maintain that as the minimum price.
Seventy-fve dollars for River
side .Maximus' is $32.70 more than the
same watch sells for in England, Egypt
or Australia This is because the duty
on watches is so high the watch COM
bine is in a position to exact practical
ly any price it desires.
Several New York dealers, however
have found a way to beat this game.
They are buying American made Wal
than and Elgin watches in England,
defray all shipping expenses, bring
them back to this country duty free
(American- made goods being duty free)
and are underselling other dealers by
one third. The SIS Riverside Maxi
mus" for instance. is being retailed

company contract, a retailer cannot sell

These facts were in the possession
of the ways and means committee, be-
ing obtained in the congressional rec
ord in the speech of Rep. Henry d.
Rainey of Illinois. Raineys revelation
of how the watch trust, composed of
the Elgin, Waltham, Crescent and Key
stone companies, extorted exorbitant
rates for their product under the pro-
much as it is probably the only tariff
speech made on the floor IN recent
years to which no republican attempted
to answer.
The reduction" in watch duties, as
contained in the Payne bill, are eX
planned by Charles A. Koone, of New
York wholesaler of watches and dia-
monds, in a letter to Representative
Rainey.
1.-The master hand of the watch trust
can be plainly discerned in the new
tariff bill" says Keene. However
none but an expert can figure out
whether the tariff is to be lower or
higher
"Only three styles of movements
have been affected at all, and as usual
the burden falls on the labOring man
as follows:
Watch movements having not more
than jewels-The old tariff was 80
cents each and % ad valorem. The
new tariff is to be 70 cents each
straight, and this is the way the re
duction really comes out: Starting
with a watch that actually costs so
cents to produce in Switzerland, the
duty comes out according to the old
way of figuring. AZ 1-2 cents each or
80 per cent. The new way it comes
out at 20 cents each for 140 per cent.
Movements having more than
Jewels and not more than IL jewels
Starting with a movement that costs
s1.25. The old way it comes out at
81 IA cents or about IS per cent; the
new way at $1.35 or about 10S per cent.
The Is jewel, starting with move
ment that actually costs $3.50; the old
way it comes out at Slip or about IS
per cent; the new way $1.S5, or about
1875 per cent"

4 FEW AWFUL POSSIBILITIES
THAT MAY NOW BE MADE
REALITIES.
No Duty is PLACED on Bin'trobenzoi,
Dianisidin, DiphenyIanin, Ben
zaIdehyde Ortoluidine.

/ WASHINGTON, D. c., April B.
They say that there will be strenu-
Gus opposition to the passage of the
Payne tariff bill as it now stands. Ger
tain infant industries plead that their
existence is imperilled by para
graph here and there in the bill; and
! it is known that lobbyists are as thick
| at the capitol as bees around a hive
| in clover time.
| Therefore the bill merits careful at
tention. But as a precautionary meas
ure it is recommended that the seeker
after knowledge provide himself with
dictionary, an encyclopedia, pro-
nouncing gazetteer, glossary, and a
pharmacOpea.
Then, when the daily press recounts
the desperate struggle on the floor OF
the house or senate as to the duty on
binotrotoluol, myrobolans, fenugreek,
mangel- wurzel cudbear, malts- book
mgs, or zaffer, the subject under dis
rcussion can be better understood.
BY careful reading of the bill one
finds that it is impossible to purchase
dragons blood in foreign countries.
Heretofore one might have supposed
that this commodity was exhausted,
and that the animals themselves had
become extinct, along with the dodo.
For those who want it, balm of Gilead
is obtainable abrOad-at least the tariff
bill says it may come into the United
States free of duty. Blues are also
a foreign commodity, so the bill in
forms us-perhaps for those prone to
mental exhalation. Apparently lakes
also can be imported. Then there is
bibulous paper, which certainly ought
to be popular in dry communities.
But just imagine what wild debate
will ensue when that paragraph of the
bill is reached letting in without a
cent of duty such things as annatto
roucou and rocoa! And what a bitter
fight will doubtless be waged on the
floor against placing divi-divi, gambler,
cerium and resorcin on the free list!
Then there is paragraph SOL. which
lets in absolutely and entirely without
any levy the following: Iridium, os-
MUM, palladium, rhOdium and ruthen-
ium and native combinations thereof"
California. so some members say, is
already up in arms against the awful
possibility of the passage Of one para
graph, which it is asserted, will flood
the nation with cheap Oriental pro-
duct That paragraph is the one adj
hitting free, without reservation, the
obnoxious munjeet
The worst catastrophe of all, how
ever, will occur if paragraph SIS is

tents of a can of food to be judged
