HAS the duty on wool and wool
ems justified itself?" That Is the
main question in the campaign the
insurgents are waging against the
Ubiquitous Schedule X of the Payne
Aldrich tariff law.
1t has, first, raised the price to
the ultimate consumer-the people
who wear clothes.
Second, 1t has resulted in the
mills. owned by the WOODEN trust,
being filled with foreign workmen,
brought over by the trust because
Americans will not do ,Ae work--so
wearing to nerves and dangerous
to health-for starvation wages.
The trust pays on the average $444
year to its workmen-under
working conditions so mean and
ugly as are usually available to en-
ployes of the trust.
Third, 1t helps the wool growers
of the west at the expense of the
growers of the south and middle
west, but even there the increase
in prices Is but a small per cent of
the amount which goes into the
Golfers of .ne manufacturers.

Whitman is the man who has for
years dictated the wool tariff.
through Lodge and Aldrich he has
written the wool schedules of the
tariff laws of this country since the
Mckinley bill was made law.
Through his agent, S. NJ D.. North,
for long a secretary of the associa-
ton OF wool manufacturers, and &C.
cepted by every ways and means
committee as their authority upon
things pertaining to wool, Whitman
has created such monopoly that
at one time he was constrained to
write the late Congressman Ding
ley, asking the latter to make the
tariff just high enough to prevent
foreign Importation, but not so "un-
necessarily high as to excite unfa-
vorable criticism"
Whitman's chief mill, the great
Arlington, at Lawrence, Mass, he
estimates himself as worth $i2,OOO,-
900. 1t earns from Is to 20 per
cent, and pays per cent dividends.
All but $4,000 of it's capital came
from the earnings made possible
under protection of infant indus
tries
This is the way Ida M. Tarbell,
writing in the November American
Magazine. about the tariff on wool,
views the Infant industries" propo-
sition: IF it is found that infants
cannot grow up, that they simply
become bigger and bigger babies
whom it is going to be increasingly
expensive to feed and dress and
wash, why, it is not in accord with
the protectionist theory to encour-
age this kind" In other words, let
em die.

But early America was not to be

girls were born to woman in
Trumbull county, Ohio. Imagine

But that was not the worlds rec

Among the interesting exhibits

of the various diseases that affect
apples and the best methods OF
combating them. Professor Me-
lander Of the Washington State
college will have charge of the ex-

steadily decreasing. In 1896 the
United States produced over co.
100000 barrels of apples, but in
1909 the production was less than
23,000,000., which goes to show that
there Is no immediate danger of
an overproduction of the delicious
