SAMPLE OF TARIFF ROBBERY
In Buying Cotton Goods We Pay 30
Cents More for Each One Dollar
Than We Should.

A fresh-faced young girl, with a ma
tured woman, probably her mother,
stood examining someicotton fabrics at
a dry goods counter in. a large depart
ment store. The fabrics we're of differ
ent qualities and prices. The girl took
the coarsest-evidently because it was
the cheapest.
What If these two women were told
that the tariff robbed them of the
finest fabric? Yet that would be the
truth. In every dollar our women
spend on cotton clothes generally
dresses, stockings, gloves and other
things-they pay at least thirty cents
more than they need pay because of
the tariff.
Cotton manufactures may be divided
into three grades-coarse, medium and
fine. In the coarser grades we COM
pete with the world in the foreign mar
kets. In some divisions of the me-
dunn grades, we compete to some de-
gree. In the finer grades we not only
do not compete abroad, but we do not
compete at home. The foreign cotton
prints. as we'll as laces and embroider-
les, pay our high tariff and beat us in
our own market.
Why is this?
We are the greatest cotton growers
in the world. We not only grow the
most cotton but the best quality. Eng
land, Japan and other people buy our
raw cotton.
Comparisons also show that per yard
our labor cost is lowest. We work
more spindles and more looms per op'
erative than the lower paid operatives
elsewhere.
Thus we have the advantages in re
| spect to raw cotton and labor.
But we are handicapped in our tariff
on machinery, on supplies and on the
very buildings III which manufacturing
is carried on.
All these handicaps away, 1t is prob
able that we should be sending the
finest quality cotton goods to compete
at the lowest prices in the world mar
kets. At any rate there would the1
not be a Pigment of excuse for an aver
age of so per cent. duty on finished
cotton goods. And American womel
then buying the finest grades woult
pay ever less than they do now foI
the coarsest.-Henry George, Jr., II
the New York World.

to advertise good things. When you see
an article advertised in this paper year
after year o can be absolutely certain
that there is merit to it because the con-
tinued sale Of any article depends upon
merit and to keep on advertising n
have imitators, but limitations are not ad-

manent sale and your dealer would never
sell them If he studied your interests.
Sixteen years ago Aliens Foot-Ease, the
antiseptic Powder for the feet, was first
sold, and through newspaper advertising
n through people telling each other
what a good thing 1t was for tired and
aching feet 1t has now a permanent sale,
and nearly 200 so-called foot powders
have been put on the market with the
hope of profiting by the reputation which
has been built up for Aliens Foot-Ease.

Ex-Governor Folk Of Missouri in
his address at a banquet at Seattle.
Wash, said:
THE Republican party is dominated
by special interests and operates with
them on a profit-sharing basis. We
should not be oblivious to the fact,
however, that we have Aldriches and
Cannons in our own party, and 1t is
the duty of Democrats to lessen their
influence as much as possible.
"A tariff other than for revenue Is
merely a legalized graft. II the Demo
cratic party fails to fight the system
of protection and merely bubbles over
the schedules, then 1t will have no
reason for existence"

Montgomery City.-The decision in
the contest between the saloon own
er and the temperance people here
was in favor Of the former. The tenn
perance people are indignant.
The contest grew out Of the report
from Washington to the effect that
the population of Montgomery City
had decreased, and there was now
only 1888 persons here instead of g.
900.
This news came Just a few days be.
fore the saloons asked for a renewal
of the" license on the ground that
there were more than 1000 inhabit-
ants, and it was therefore not neces-
sary to have the majority of the tax

port from Washington giving the cen.

STARVING Their Goose.

Nothing has been more significant
than the comment of members of the
New York wool exchange to the New
York Evening Post on present condi-
lions in the wool market. There is
depression in the manufacturing in
dustry, and wool is being reshipped
to European points from Boston and
New York. A variety of reasons are
offered to account for the condition,
and not a few of the wool men are
now admitting that the exorbitant tar
if, under which the cost to consumers
has been boosted, is responsible for
the cessation of demand, and the con-
sequent shutting down Of mills.

OPENLY FOR SPOILS
ATTITUDE OF REPUBLICAN PARTY
PLAINLY SHOWN.
Golfers Weekly Makes Public Letter
Written by Subordinate of secre-
tary esilinger Which Admits Of
But One Inference.


In a recent Issue Golfers Weekly
publishes a letter written by a subor-
dinate of Secretary Ballinger of the
interior department which probably
shows the spirit of the Ballinger ad-
ministration of that great branch OF
the national government. The writer
of the letter is w. H. Batting, a
nephew of Senator Hepburn of Idaho,
and the interior department official In
charge of the land office at Occur
d'Alene. The epistle is addressed to
the editor of a newspaper which had
formerly been awarded advertising
patronage at the disposition of the
land oGce.
The letter was sent in explanation
of the withdrawal of advertising pat
ronage from the newspaper in ques-
ton. Naturally" writes Mr.. Batting,
under a Republican administration
such notices go to the Republican
newspapers" That is a frank presen-
tation of the spoilsman's view of poll
tics that might have passed muster In
the day of Andrew Jackson and An
drew Van Buren,, but it was scarcely
to have been expected from an official
of the Taft administration. But Bat
ting goes further, making the test OF
Republicanism support of the stand
pat group as represented by Ballinger
and Cannon. Two of the specific
counts against the offending editor are
as follows:
Il. At the time of the hearing of the
case against the Washington Water
Power company, the Spokesman-Re'
view published an editorial in which
the good faith of Secretary Balinger,
Senator H and myself was ques'
toned In connection with that case
This same editorial was copied Ever
batim, l b%elieve) by your paper.
20. At the time of the contest In the
house of representatives against
Speaker Cannon you published an edi
torial attacking Cannon and also oul
representative, Hamer.
The letter closes with the following
remarkable words:
THE above constitutes the basis o.
my action in not having recognized
your paper as a proper medium fol
the publication of notices. If, how
ever. in the future conduct of your pa
per these political a~crobatics are elm
mated, l will be glad to reconsider thu
matter and extend to you the full con
sideration to which you may be en-
titled"
This letter was written as late al
April IS last, when the Ballinger In
vestigation had been under way TO
months. Golfers makes the common
that s~ubordinates of his may be dis
charged by Secretary Ballinger for to-
much zeal IN the public service, bu
that nothing is likely to happen to Bat
ting for writing this ~disgraceful lei
ter.
Whatever may be the measure @
Ballinger in such matters, the Tai
administration ought to be too sens
BILE and too honest to tolerate such
petty and yet such a dangerous appl
cation Of the spells idea. Batting's et
fort to control the editorial expires
sions of small newspapers through at
vertising notices at the disposal of tn
land office division of the department
is simply vicious. : Chicago Dali

True Figures AS to Rubber Tariff.

When our Uncle Joe told people out
in Kansas that the tariff on manufac-
lures of rubber had been raised 5 per
cent, he meant s per cent. of the
value of the rubber product imported.
To be exact, the duty was 80 per cent
ad valorem and TO- 1t is 35 per cent.
AS we figure 1t, that is an advance in
the duty itself Of nearly II per cent.
And prices have gone up in something
like the same ratio.
