and joked with all of them, spoke

His words proved a bombshen. His

felt that they had sat unexpectedly

ton had sent them so far in the air
that they could Hot see soft spot upon
which to fall.
Tafts statement was approved by the
country. Then he invited the conferees
10 dine with him at the White House.
A free exchange of views occurred.
When the dinner ended, Taft. believed
he had secured what he desired.
He was mistaken. The next day the
conferees found they could not give
him all he wanted
They could not give him this. they
could not give him that. The. presi-

NO GAIN TO THE CONSUMER
TARIFF RAISES THE PRICES
Downward Revision" Merchants, Say, Will
Not Reduce the Cost of Living

That the downward revision" OF
the tariff win not and can not have
the slightest downward, effect on the
present cost of living is the consensus
OF opinion among the leading San
Francisco merchants In the price of
clothing the prediction of a material
rise is made for the coming year.
The local critics OF the bill point
out that the compromised tariff in no
wise touches the old prohibitory rates
On the contrary. there is even an ad-
vance in cotton goods and the cheaper
grades OF stockings. While there is
material reduction in leather and in
boots and shoes, the shoe trust is not
seriously threatened. inasmuch as it
has already cut heavily into the foreign
market
OLD EVILS UNTOUCHED
ID. #. SchIesfnger, assistant manager
and head buyer for the Emporium.
says that the oppressive sections OF
the Dingley bin are untouched. He
is thoroughly familiar as an importer
with the old tariff and has watched
the new bill closely.
The evils of the old measure" he
said Yesterday, are untouched In
London, from where / have just re-
turned, mems clothing costs about one-
third OF the local price and is Of bet
ter quality. The tariff on cloth. gloves
and the like is not arranged to pro-
tect our own factories, but to shut out
competition. Mems 81 English gloves
sell in London for IS cents. To cap it all,
the tariff Will increase the price of all
cotton goods, which are too high now,
for cotton is the cloth of the poor
people. Silks, furs and. laces almost
necessities among people of average
means. viii be immensely increased in
cost. As 10 shoes, the tannery trust
and shoe trust are not likely to make
material cut, il any. 1 believe; also,
that there VIII be sharp advance in;
wooden goods IN the coming autumn"
PRICE OF MEMS CLOTHES
George Roos of Roos Brothers said:
In the new order there is marked
advance in the price of mems clothes
over those OF last spring. THefe is
likely 10 be. an advance of 10 or 20
per cent in the coming winter. This
is due 10 some movement or to market
conditions that / haven't looked into,
but we have seen the tendency for

DUTY oNtI.ACES
Louis samuels of samuels lace house,
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1909-08-01

which sells only 40 per cent bf domestic
dress goods and silks 70 so per cent of
foreign make, puts the case this way:
The foreign goods awili still remain
popular because of their superiority to
the domestic in wear and finish. The
60 per cent increase in the duty on
laces will be felt Immediately, because
lace is not manufactured in America.
Lace making is an art handed down
from generation to generation in GER
tain parts of Europe. Americans
haven't the time and patience to be-
come l#e makers. 1t is not desirable
that they should, for the work is
drudgery of the hardest kind. Even in
machine made lace America has been
unable to make inroads except in the
cheaper grades, and then to only a
small extent. Whether the government
will profit by these heavy increases in
duty is doubtful Travellers now re-
turn from Europe with strings of
trunks. Some extreme cases of this
kind have been held up lately. But the
practice remains. This hurts home
trade. and is why the retailer does not
favor an extreme tariff"
This view is shared by Joseph Mag
min and Manager Row Of L Magnin Sc
Co.
ADVANCE IN LIQUOR
Goldberg, Bowen & Co. have followed
the new bill closely, but not because it
will reduce the cost of groceries. The
small reduction in bacon, ham and
meats, with which America supplies the
world. is not likely TO affect prices. But
the firm does expect an advance in for
eign wines, liquors and champa,gnes
unless the exporters reduce their price
to fit the tariff Household goods will
remain the same.
DRUGS, HARDWARE AND OIL
To what extent the drug and hard
ware businesses will be affected is yet
TO be determined. The price of coal oil
Will not be lowered. according to w. F.
Porter of the Associated oil company
unless there is a big increase in pro-
duction in Mexico.
IN OTHER LINES
The Iron. tanning company expects a
temporary weakening of the hide mar
ket, but not of leather. The reduction
of the duty on bituminous coal % cents
the ton will not greatly cheer house
holders. Philippine tobacco given free
entry is limited TO such amount ac
eording 10 men in the trade, as may
be readily absorbed by the tobacco
trust. Building contractors are in
doubt as to how the changes in the
lumber schedule will affect the cost of
building, but incline to the belief that
lumber prices on the coast are regu-
lated not so much by competition as by
definite understanding among the
lHhlbermen.

Payne Explains Measure

Chairman Payne arose The reception
accorded him by republicans was most
fsttering. When quiet was restored,
Payne expressed the view that the bill
would be acceptable to the people. He
declared his conviction that il fully met
the requirements ana pledges Of the re-
publican party and the president, and
~ the same time would not stop a
single wheel OF industry, would close
no factory and would deprive no man

Payne took up the various schedules
which had created a wide diversity of
opinion among the conferees and dis
Cussed them in detail.
Payne appealed to his republican COL
leagues TO stand by the bill. saying
that If they wanted to drive their party
into chaos they could vote against it.
But he said il would be a delusion to
vote against the bill upon the idea that
the Dingley rates would be. continued.
