STORY OF COTTON
IS A THRILLER
A Narrative That Concerns the
Welfare Of Millions.
SHOWS EVILS OF PROTECTION

Whole People Robbed by a Tariff That
Rich Manufacturer May Benefit.
Robert Kenneth MacLea, Consulting
Expert of the Tariff Board, Shows
That the American People Are
MuIcted of $ss,ooo,oo a Year.
New York. Aug. Did you eve
hear the story of cotton?
1t is as thrilling as a narrative OF
adventure. 1t is as interesting as a
notwithstanding particularly because
it concerns the welfare of millions of
people who wear cotton goods. 1t Is
interesting because it is the dress of
the poor, the universal substitute for
wool and silk. 1t is interesting, fur
thermore. because it is true.
The story of cotton is the story of a
protective tariff for the benefit of rich
manufacturers at the expense of the
whole people who wear cotton goods.
II has been reasonably calculated
that because the cotton tariff is fixed
by the Payne-A Idrich law tho Ameri-
can people are paying $88, 000,0 00 moro
every year than they should pay for
their cotton goods and that a saving
of this amount could be accomplished
by a reasonable reduction in the pros
ent duties.
The story of cotton is told by an ex.
pert, Robert Kenneth MacLea, consult
ing expert Of the tariff board. in a Sc
ries Of articles published in the New
York World. Mr.. MacLea's views are
the views Of a lifelong Republican, a
friend of the protective policy of the
Republican party. hut at the same time
an opponent of tariff graft and favor
itism. To this work Mr.. MacLea has
brought a varied experience. covering
more than twenty years, in the man,
ufacture and marketing of textiles.
He first distinguished himself as an
advocate Of honest tariff legislation by
finding the ~"jokers" of the Payne-Al'
drich act, when the agents of a few
New England mills were permitted to
write their own rates to suit them
selves. He was chairman of the tar
if committee of the New York Dry
Goods Merchants association and IN
that capacity conducted a campaign
which attracted the attention of the
newly created tariff board. To accept
the position of consulting expert to the
board he gave up the management OF
the domestic business of the New Yorl

time to care for them is limited. The
fall calf is also old enough to take care
of itself by spring. when the field work
becomes heavy and the flies trouble

The profit in a COW comes from the
extra amount Of milk she will yield

Calves dropped in the fall always do
better than those born in the spring.
One of the principal reasons for this is
that there is more time to devote to
their care during the winter. Caves
born in the fall are given a ration ron

The story of cotton is a companion
piece to the story of Schedule K-the
wooden schedule-declared by Presi-
dent Taft to be infamous and indefen-
sible.
The findings of the tariff board with
regard to the wooden schedule We're an
alyzed by Chairman Underwood of the
ways and committee and con-
demned as inaccurate. incomplete and
worthless as an aid to legislation.
When the tariff boards findings on
the cotton schedule were made public
the World decided to make it's w
investigation concerning it. and Mr..
MacLea was selected for that purpose.
The World had the findings of the
board on manufacturers of cotton dis
sected from the practical point of view
of business. analysed in their relation
to the interest of the consumer and
the facts translated into the language
Of the everyday man and m
One hundred cloth samples purchased
In representative domestic markets
were made the basis Of the tariff
boards findings on the cost of cotton
cloth produced in this country. Mr..
MacLea used the same cloth samples
as concrete Illustrations of the work
ings of the tariff and from these eX-
posed the very generally perpetrated
fraud of selling American made goods
as imported and showed why the
excessive tariff permits and fosters
this imposition.
Recognizing that the tariff would be
a vital issue of the campaign and that
controversy would center about Presi-
dent Taft's ''nonpartisan' tariff board
and its work, the World undertook the
investigation of cotton and sought an
swers to the following questions:
Has the work of the tariff board JUS
titled the delay in reducing the tariff
and giving relief from the high cost
of living?
What nave the people gained in tho
three years under tho Payne-Aldrich
tariff IN RETURN FOR MORE THAN
$4,000, 900 900 TAXED OUT OF THEIR
POCKETS AND INTO THE POck-
ETS OF PROTECTED PRIVILEGE?
How honestly, impartiaIIy and thor
oughIy did tho "nonpartisan" tariff
board undertake its task?
Several months before the cotton re.
port was completed Mr.. MacLea de.
clares that he discovered sinister in.
