The story Of cotton is a companion
piece to the story of Schedule K-the
woOlen schedule-declared by Presi-
dent Taft to be infamous and indefen-
sible
The findings Of the tariff board with
regard to the woolen schedule were an
alyzed by Chairman Underwood Of the
ways and means 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 its own
investigation concerning 1t. ard 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. analyzed In their relation
to the interest Of the consumer and
the facts translated into the language
OF the everyday man and woman.
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
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.

What have the people gained in the
three years under the Payne Aldrich

ETs OF PROTECTED PRIVILEGE?
How honestly, inpartiaIly and thor
cushly did the "ncnpartisan" tariff
board undertake it's task7
Several months before the cotton re.
port was completed Mr. MacLea de
clares that he discovered sinister in.
fuences in the tariff boards working
to eliminate findings most damaging
to the favored few in the cotton mill
industry. Such suppressed informa ton
as Mr.. MacLea considers to be of vital
Importance to the cotton industry and
the public has been presented in the
World. He has also explained what
the mass of figures of the cotton report
signifies and presented some of the
most important of the conclusions to
be drawn from that report, work
which the board saw it not to attempt.

Mr.. MacLea and published in the

STORY OF COTTON
IS A THRILLER
4 Narrative That Concerns The
Welfare Of MIIIons.
SHOWS EVILS OF PROTECTION

Whole People Robbed by a Tariff That
Rich Manufacturer May Benefit
Robert Kenneth MaeLea, Consulting
Expert Of the Tariff Board, Shows
That the American People Are
Muleted of sss,oo0,ooo Year.
New York, Aug. Did you ever
hear the story of cotton?
1t is as thrilling as narrative of
adventure. 1t Is as interesting as a
notwithstanding particularly because
1t 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. It 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 10 fixed
by the Payne -Aldrich law the Ameri-
can people are paying $33 more
every year than they should pay for
their cotton goods and that q saving
Of this amount could be accomplished
by a reasonable reduction in the pres
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, but at the same time
an opponent Of tariff graft and favor
itism To this work Mr.. 3MacLea has
brought 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 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 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
