CONGRESSMAN FLOODED !
WITH KICKS ON TARIFF

but they are luxury which has
become quite general among young
women not belonging to the class
of millionaires. The same is true
of artificial hair, of feathers on
hats and even of perfumery. Mr..
Payne regards gloves as Injuries,
but the average woman says they
are necessities. She does not like
to be taxed additionally on these
incidents Of her wardrobe.
And did you know that there is
duty which prohibits importation Of
hooks and eyes? The Payne bill
has not revised this tariff down
ward. 1t remains as before.
The announced reduction In the
sugar tariff has become standing
joke. One-twentieth of one per
cent a pound is the amount of this
reduction. "A blow between the
eyes to the sugar trust" is what a
more or less disingenuous member
Of the ways and means committee
labeled 1t.
The amount of sugar eaten an
nually by each individual In the
country is exactly 80 pounds. Ac-
cordingly, in order to save up s
cents on this reduction in the price
of sugar (presuming the reduction
should appear in the retail price, 1t
would be necessary, as Champ
Clark points out, to eat sugar at
the maximum speed for Is months.
Careful study Of the Payne bill
shows beyond any possible ques-
ton that it's total consequences are
a revision of the tariff upward, not
downward.
There Is no reason to believe or
hope that the senate will make the
bill any better in this respect. 1t
has been the practice in past years
for the senate to really write the
final tariff act, but in both the Will
son and Dingley bills the amend
ments added by the senate were all
in the direction of greater favor to
, the trusts and heavier taxes on the
people. When Mr.. Aldrich gets his
hands on the Payne bill he will
show what he can do in the way of
further revision upward.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 81.
The increased tariff taxes pro-
vided by the Payne bill appear to
have stirred up opposition in every
nook and corner of the country.
Not in years has there been such
opposition to any measure. Every
mail Is flooded with communica-
lions to senators and members of
the house, some of them SO warm
that asbestos envelopes would be
the only proper covering. - =
1.-The cost of living for the aver
age man is increased; the advan-
tage of wealth and power is also
increased"
In these words Representative
Champ Clark, leader of the minor
ity in the house of representatives,
and spokesman of the minority
members of the ways and means
committee, has accurately summed
up the provisions of the Payne bill.
He adds:
Heavy taxes are laid on coffee,
tea and substitutes for coffee,
which, with cocoa, butter, mustard,
pepper, cinnamon and all sorts of
fiavors for foods, are declared to
be luxuries. While figs, lemons,
ETC., are raised in pri ce without
hope of increasing the revenue,
barley is reduced Is cents and bar
ley malt 20 cents, the reason for
which it would be interesting to
know"
The reason for the decrease in
the duty on barley Is the brewing
trust. 1t is the same reason which
moved certain democrats to vote
for Cannon and the old rules. A
living, moving personification of
the reason was G. j. Vopicka Of
Chicago, of the brewers organiza-
ton. He lived and moved among
the members of the house during
the insurgent fight. The brewers
anu the whisky interests upheld
the rule of Speaker Cannon. They
received their "quid pro quo" Here
is part of it in the cheaper malt.
The increased tax on stockings,
gloves, cotton goods, hat pins, mil
linery, feathers, soap, perfumes and
other articles of the toilet have
stirred the women. Most of these
things are regarded as necessities.
The ordinary cotton stocking GER
tainly is such. AS the average
child or woman requires about Is
pair year, the increased tax on
stockings is no slight addition to
the cost of clothing. Hat pins
may be looked upon as luxuries,
