present rate Of duty is found to be pro-
hibitory, because ii keeps out all except
the finer grades.
On cloth the present rate Of duty Is
pronounced prohibitory on heavy weight,
cheap and medium grade cloths, princf-
tory duty which fixes a certain charge

States than it does in England or France.
The present system of fixing the same ad
yalorem rates Of duty ON different grades
Of fabric IL condemned as unfair.
For Progressive Increases.
The board holds that a fair solution
would be the adoption OF graduate
scale under which the ad valorem rate
nriperly assessed on goods Of low value
should then increase progressively ac-
cordins to slight increnents of value. up
to whatever maximum rate should be
fixed.
The boards figures would seem to show
that the "prohibitory duties" do not af-
feet the American consumer as much as
would be inferred by the use OF those
words. for. while the duties on sixteen
samples Of foreign cloth selected by the
board averages 1874 per cent, the actual
excess Of the domestic price over the
foreign price was found to be 81 Dol

Board Indicates New Method
of Arriving at Proper Rates

The tariff boards repor> on sched-
ule X points the way to two great
changes in the present system Of levy
ing duties upon raw wool and finished
cloth. 1t would assess duty on scrubbed
wool-not wool and grease combined-and
suggests a graduated scale OF ad valorem
rate on cloth.
The report is divided into sections

taken up i'm the order in which they come
I'm production and manufacture.
Present System Bad.
On raw wool the board finds the pres
ent system of levying duty bad, and the
duties higher than the difference in cost
of production i'm the United States as
compared with the cost abroad. The
method Of levying duty is condemned be-
cause 1t charges for grease as well a.
for wool and operates to keep out Of this
country the heavy shrinking woolens.

MRS. LAFEEY Is CONVICTED.
Remanded to Be Sentenced on Count
of HIGHWAY Robbery.

Mrs. Margaret Laffey was convicted
late yesterday afternoon by a jury in
Criminal Court No. 2, before Justice Bar
nard, OF highway robbery. She was re-
manded for sentence.
Mrs. Laffey was indicted for entering
the store of J. T. d. Pyles at $50 Park
road July last and at the point OF q
pistol requiring c. NJ. hatfield, the man
ager. to turn over to her the receipts Of
the day. The woman was apprehended
within block OF the store and the money
recovered.
Temporary mental alteration, the re-
suit of an accident two months previous,
was urged by the prisoner as excuse for
her actions. Her son Timothy, sixteen
years old. testified in his mothers be-
half. and was at her side when the jury
convicted her.
Assistant United States Attorneys Haw-
ken and Mudd conducted the prosecution.
The defendant was represented by Attor-
neys w. G. Gardiner and James c.
Rogers.

Model of Thorough Work.

81 venture to say that no legislative
body has ever had presented to it more
complete and exhaustive report than this
on so difficult and complicated a subject
as the relative costs of wool and woolens
the world over. 1t Is a monument to the
thoroughness, industry. impartiality and
accuracy of the men engaged IN Its max
ing. They were chosen from both politi-
cal parties, but have allowed no partisan
spirit to prompt or control their inquiries.
They are unanimous in their findings.
Il feel sure that after the report has
been finished and studied the value OF
such a compendium of exact knowledge
in respect to this schedule of the tariff
will convince all of the wisdom of max
ing such a board permanent in order that
II may treat each schedule of the tariff
as it has treated this. and then keep its
bureau Of information up to date with
current changes in the economic world.
ST is no part of the function Of the
tariff board to propose rates Of duty.
Their function is merely to present find
ings of fact on which rates of duty may
be fairly determined in the light OF ade-
quate knowledge in accord with the eco
nomic policy to be followed. This IL
what the present report dees.
The findings Of fact by the board show
ample reason for the revision downward
of schedule X, in accord with the pro-
tective principle. and present the data as
to relative costs and prices, from which
may be determined what rates will fairly
equalize the difference In production
costs. I recommend that such revision
be proceeded with at once"

substitutes now so frequently employed
in that industry. The fact that such
cheap woods are of such heavy shrink
age that they cannot be imported In
an unsecured state emphasizes all the
more the prOhibitive character of the
present secured pound duty.
That an ad valorem rate is open to
grave difficulties from the point of view
of administration and revenue, in the
case of a crude, bulky commodity like
wool, produced In many remote regions
and finding its way into the markets
through SO many various channels of
trade.
THAT, Furthermore, an ad valorem rate
would give a high duty per pound when
prices, are high-that Is. when the con-
sumer most needs relief and the pro-
Queer is most able to bear competition.
With a low price Of wool the duty per
pound would be low-that Is, at the time
when the consumer has less need Of
competing woods and the producer is
least able to bear competition.

cent as the result of domestic competi-

cat the present time the industry in
general is on a competitive basis" says
the report.
Extracts from the report follow:
''The result of the raw-woOl investiaa-
ton establishes the fact that 1t costs
more to grow wool in the United States
than in any other country: that the me-
rno woods required in such great vol
ume by our mills are the most expen-
sive Of all woods produced: that the high
est average cost of production of such
wool in the world is in the state of Ohio
and contiguous territory, and that the
lowest average cost on similar wool is in
Australia
sit is not possible to state in exact
terms the actual cost of producing a
pound Of wool considered by itself. for
the simple reason that wool is but one
of two products of the same operation.
That In the western part of the
United States, where about two-thirds OF
the sheep Of the country are to be found,
the fine and fine medium woods carry an
average charge of at least IL cents PEI

Higher Cost Of Manufacturing.

1.-The findings of the board show that in
this industry the actual manufacturing
cost, aside from the question Of the price
of materials. is much higher in this
country than it is abroad; that in the
making of yarn and cloth the domestic
wooden or worsted manufacturer has in
general no advantage in the form of SUI
periOr machinery or more efficient labor
to offset the higher wages paid in this
country. The findings show that the cost
OF turning wool into yarn in this country
is about double that in the leading COM
peting country, and that the cot OF turn
ing yarn into cloth is somewhat more
than double. Under the protective policy
a great industry involving the welfare of
hundreds of thousands of people has been
despite these handicaps.
I'm recommending revision and reduc-
ton, therefore urge that action be taken
with these facts in mind, to the end that
an important and established industry
may not be jeopardized.

cents per pound lies against the great
While the board cannot. therefore, I'M
dertake to name an exact figure in that
case. it is certain that the Australasian
costs at large fall materially below the
South American.
THE board finds that the present
method of levying the duties upon raw
wool is defective, in that it operates. by
reason of the varying shrinkages Of the
different kinds of. wool, to prevent the
Importation of many heavy. conditioned
sorts, which. if imported. would add
substantially to the stock of sound
staple available for the manufacture OF
wooden fabrics.
THAT there is no valid reason for the
discrimination that now exists as be-
tween the woods of class ! lmerino and
cross-bredD and class IL (English, me-
dunn and luster). and that these two
classes could properly be consolidated.

Graduate Scale Of Duties.

THE tariff board reports that no equi-
table method has been found to levy
purely specific duties on wooden and
worsted fabrics. and that, excepting for a
compensatory duty. the rate must be ad
valorem on such manufactures 1t is
important to realize, however. that no fiat
ad valorem rate on such fabrics can be
made to work fairly and effectively. Any
single rate which is high enough to equal
iZe the difference in manufacturing cost
at home and abroad on highly finished
goods involving such labor would be pro-
hibitory on cheaper goods, In which the
labor cost is the smaller proportion Of the
total value. Conversely, a rate only
adequate to eQualize this difference on
cheaper goods would remove protection
from the fine goods of manufacture. the
increase in which has been one of the strik-
ing features of the trades development in
recent years. therefore recommend that
in any revision the Importance of a
graduated scale of ad valorem duties on
clothes be carefully considered and ap-
raliod
