TAKING POOR MANS
COAT OFF HIS BACK
Concrete Illustration Of What a Re-
publican Tariff Really Means
Causes Workers to Think.

Concrete examples OF how q pro.
tective tariff operates are causing the
working man, the poor man." to do a
lot of thinking nowadays. He is be-
ginning to understand whether It is
not about time to call a halt on the
Republican practice of taxing the coat
on his back and threatening him with
the loss Of his shirt and his socks If
he does not submit.
All through the present tariff law,
pacsed by a Republican congress- and
endorsed by a Republican President
as THE BEST TARIFF BILL EVER
PASSED, are to be found discrimIna-
tons, the higher duty on the cheaper
article, the lower on the shoulders
OF those least able to bear 1t the great
or burden Of the protective system.
Here are some Illustrations:
The cheapest wool blankets bear a
duty OF 165.42 per cent the dearest,
1O4.55 per cent.
Flannels, not more than 40 cents a
pound. are taxed at 1887 per cent;

dearest. 2e.s per cent.
Uncut diamonds bear a 10 per cent.
duty; imitation diamonds, 20 per cent.
The humble firecracker bears a
s7.o2 per cent. duty, while elaborate
fireworks bear but 70 per cent.
Mating. smaller and cheaper grades,

These are only a part Of the dis
ordinations, cleaned from a swift
oonning Of some Of the schedules. Re-
1uoed to simplest terms, they mean
hat the poor man is taxed higher than
he rich man.

DOLLY CAMERON AND THE
HAWLEY WILL MISSING

New York, Feb. 16.-"Dolly"
Cameron, who vanished with a will
said to have been left by Edwin Haw-
ley, the railroad king, is giving no
end of trouble to relatives of the late
millionaire. Everything in the Haw-
ley estate has been brought to a
standstill and until Miss Cameron is
found or presents the will for pro-
bate no business can be transacted
and none of the relatives can estab-
lish any claims to the estate. 1t was
said today by Chauffeur Peterson,
formerly employed by Hawley, that
Miss Cameron had found will which
made her one of the chief legatees.
In this event she has less than go
days in which to file her claim. Mean
while she is believed to have been
advised by her attorneys to disap-
pear and keep the relatives worrying
until the psychological moment for
her coup to be sprung. According
TO Peterson, the will deeds both the
Hawley town house and the estate
at Babylon, together with an income
sufficient to maintain them, to Miss
Cameron. Miss Cameron for / . years
was a constant visitor at the home
of Edwin Hawley in the summers,
spending four or FIVE months with
him at the estate in Babylon. Hawley
was known to be very partial to her
and introduced her as my niece,
Miss Cameron" She virtually has
been the head OF his domestic ar
rangements ever since before she was
II years old and perhaps was nearer
to Hawley than any other person.
Her friends in New York declared
that they believed she still was in the
city and would come forward when
the proper time arrived.
