What the People Pay.

The people of the United States pay
a Subsidy in artificially high prices to
the wool industry of at least $1O4. 00O.-
600 a year according to the calcula-
tions of Hon. Oscar W. Underwood, of
Alabama. chairman of the Ways and
Means committee of the House of
representatives.
1.-THE Payne-Aldrich tax of 81 cents
per yard to say nothing of any increase
IL tax as it passes to the jopber, make s
not less than $l04. 100000 paid each
year to subsidlze the wool industry of
Amreica," says Mr.. Underwood.
'Now. the entire actual duties paid
the United States on ,all imports of
wcolens and worsteds in 1910, amount

means that of the S1O4. O0O,O extort-

A N01=Partsian PluHd erbund.

The American Protective Tariff
League has adopted the following
resolutions: Resolved, that we
strongly recommend that our members
and connections work and vote for the
defeat of any candidate who is not a
protectionist, and work and vote for
the election of all candidates of what
sOever party who are protectionists.
Here we have TIE plan of the plum
derbund. There is no partisianship in
the American Protective Tariff
League. While it ordinarily works
with the Republican party it stands
ready to belt any Republican who is
not willing to take his orders from the
tariff barons; 1t will render assistance
to any Democrat who is willing to be-
tray his constituents into the hands Of
the tax eaters. How long will it take
the consumers to learn the real charac-
ter of the man who makes his money
out Of protective tariff. How long
can the consumer be misled by the a2-
peal to his patriotism when the protec-
tionist has no thought beyond the
amount Of money that he can squeeze
from the public through the operation
of law.
1t is high time that the farmers, me-
chanics. merchants and the general
public get together and resolve to cp-
pose protectionists and to favor those
who are pledged to a reduction of the
extortionate tariff rates.

 Los Angeles, Cal.-The seventh week of the McNamara murder trial closed in a cloud of sicknes and death that has been spreading since the first juror was selected.

 While not wiling to cypress final opinion upon the proposed plan for financing the cotton holding move ment in the South, as given out in New York, until more fully inform ed as to the details, Governor Dona- ghey expressed himself as favorins the project so far as il had been out lined. lie analysed the proposition as 1t has been reported, and, while he expressed the belief that the men who propose 10 furnish the 50,000. 000 will make a good profit upon their invest. ment, he was inclined to think that the growers would reap considerable benefit from the movement
 The main thing to be done is to keep the cotton off the market said the governor Any means to this end will be of advantage to the grow CT. Under the plan proposed perhaps the man who is forced to borrow on his cotton may not reap as big profit as the man who does not have to borrow. l think that the holding movement by the farmers has already accelerated the price of cotton, as< without such a movement the price would have been much lower. In spite of heavy receipts and bearish re- ports, cotton is now going mp. some thing which has been almost unknown during the harvesting of a heavy crop.
 Tn my opinion, without any assist anee at all, cotton will be worth con- siderably more in February and March than 1t is now, but with $50 0000,000 scattered over the South to take care of the remainder of the distressed cotton I think much good may como from it. I do not believe there will DC 13.500 0000-bale crop, but, admit ting that the crop will reach that igure, there will be a demand for all of it at a big price so it can easily be seen that any movement which tends to keep the cotton off the market will increase the price"
