STORY OF COTTON
 IS A THRILLER
< Narrative That Concerns the
 Welfare of Millions.

 Rich Manufacturer May Benefit.
 Robert Kenneth MacLea, Consulting
 Expert of the Tariff Board, Shows
 That the American People Are
 MuIcted of ssS. .000,o 900 Year.
 New York, Aug. Did you ever hear the story of cotton?
 It Is as thrilling as a narrative of adventure. It Is as interesting as a notwithstanding particularly because 1t concerns the welfare of millions of people who wear cotton goods. It is interesting because 1t 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.
 It has been reasonably calculated that because the cotton tariff is fixed by the Payne -Aldrieh law the Ameri- can people are paying sss, ,ooo, 900 more 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 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 se- ries of articles published in the New York World. Mir. 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 MT. 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 PayneiAl- 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 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 York

firms of R. B. MacIea & Co and Con- verse & Co.
 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- nlyzed 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 It. and MT. 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 woman.
 One hundred cloth samples purchased
 
 were made the basis of the tariff boards findings on the cost of cotton cloth produced in this country. MT 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. tifed the delay in reducing the tariff and giving relief from the high cost of living7
 What have the people gained in the three years under the Payne -AIdrieh tariff IN RETURN FOR MORE THAN $5,ooo, 100000 TAXED OUT OF THEIR POCKETS AND INTO THE: POCk+ 0 VT nv 6S GG
 How honestly, impartialIy and thor. oughIy did the "nonpartisan" tariff board undertake its task?
 Several months before the cotton re port was completed MT. 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 mil industry; Such suppressed information as MT. MacLea considers to be of vita. importance to the cotton industry anG 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, a work which the board saw fit not to attempt
 The story of cotton, as written by MT. MacLea and published in the World from time to time, forms one of the most interesting and important features of the present campaign.
