made by men thoroughly acquainted
with the intricacies OF the trade. that
this part OF the bill constitutes one
OF the most unreasonable series OF
advances I'm the whole measure. The
increase is heaviest on the cheaper
grades-the ones the poor must use.
The class Of stockings bought by the
rich valued az more than s. per doz-
en- pairs are in both the Dingley law
and Payne bill under a 55 per cent
duty. That is, the socks of the poor
man pay So per cent tax: those OF the

turers needed no more protection. In
1890 the United States imported from
Germany S6.Ol6.OOO worth OF hosiery
and made Sl9.l62OOO worth. The
imports were then a little over a third
Of the home product. In 1908 we inn
ported S6.645OOO worth OF hosiery. and
made $5OOOO.OOO worth. The imports
were a little over One-eighth the home
product. which. IL Is being pointed
out, Is striking illustration of the fact
the American manufacturers are not
being run out Of business.
Yet the American manufacturers OF
the New England district went before
the Ways and Means Committee, com
planned that their present protection.
which averaged So per cent. was not
sufficient. demanded that they be
given 20 per cent more. They said
they were on the verge OF ruin; the
Germans were driving them out Of
business In the home markets. In con.
trast to this situation the figures show
American manufacturers are driving
the Germans out Of our markets.
The manufacturers also told the
that hosiery mills In this
country are generally closed down or
working three or four days a week.

Women are interested in the price OF

Many OF the largest Republican
