costs secured than in the English costs,
due partly to the fact that the English
mills were all in the Manchester dis
trict, where wages and other conditions
are we'll standardized, while the Ameri-
can costs were taken from mills cover
ing a much wider area, with much
greater differences in labor and other
conditions. Another reason for the
wider variation in American costs, is
that the English mills for which fig
ures were secured, are all of a modern
and efficient type, while some of the
American mills included were old and
of low efficiency.
Discussing duties in their relation to
costs of weaving and finishing the re-
port says:
RATIO OF DUTY.
1.-The ratio of duty to the con-
version cost bears little relation to the
ratio of the duty to the foreign market
value. Thus, in some cases, duties which
are less than 80 per cent ad valorem,
will be one and half times the total
American conversion cost, while in
other cases duties of nearly so per cent
ad valorem will be only three-fourths
of the American conversion costs. In
the greater number of cases the duties
are greater than the total domestic
costs of spinning and weaving.
zone of the most interesting results
of the investigation is to be found in
the facts included in the report regard
ing the different methods of distribution
in the two countries and the greater
margin which exists between the price
at which the manufacturer sells his
goods and the price at which the con-
sumner buys them in this country as
compared with similar prices in Eng
land. The relation of the tariff to the
prices paid by consumers can only be
understood by fully comprehending the
significance in American trade of the
principle of set prices"

ROOSEVELT Gets HOOK
IN NEW YORK PRIMARIES
Taft Wins 80 Out Of 90 Dele
gates to National Con-
VentiOn
(By Associated Press

NEW York March 27.-Delegates
10 the Republican national convention
favoring the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt were defeated at yesterdays
New York state primaries in every dis
trict where they opposed candidates
designated by the regular Republican
organization and claimed by the follow
ers of President Taft. The Taft cam
paign managers declared today at least
SO of New York's 80 delegates would
go to Chicago favoring the presidents
denomination. This estimate includes
the four delegates at large to be chosen
at the state convention on April 8.
The remaining seven delegates were
designated by the regular district or
ganiZation, but conceded to Colonel
Roosevelt.
Colonel Roosevelt lost the only two
fights his supporters made "up state"
and the returns from the 10 contested
districts in New York city and Long
Island gave his opponents plurality
average more than two to one.
The Roosevelt campaign managers
confined their statements to declara-
tions regarding the confusion that
reigned in New York city from the
failure to deliver an adequate number
of ballots Former Judge Charles H.
DuelI, chairman of the Roosevelt citi-
Gems committee, anu SndlTIldH fAOCnASs
of the Republican county committee,
both declared they would appeal to
Governor Dix for a second primary in
New York city.
Roosevelt partisans charged the fall
ure to provide ballots in all districts
to be Vaccinations of their opponents.
The organization men, on the other
hand, united with the printers in at
tributing the situation to the court ac-
ton brought by the Roosevelt forces
in their unsuccessful attempt to have
the names of their delegates printed at
the head of the ticket. This, the print
ers say, delayed their work a week,
and the monumental nature of the task
made it impossible to get enough bal
lots ready in time for the election
A new primary in New York city, 1T
is estimated, would cost something like
$4,000, since ballots costing $4,000
would have to be reprinted and the
whole election machinery revived
Shortly after midnight President
Taft called State Chairman Barnes and
County Chairman Koenig over the long
distance telephone and warmly congrat-
ulated and thanked them for their vic
tory in the primaries. The president
began receiving bulletins at 10 o'clock
last night and half an hour later was
satisfied that he would have SO out of
the 80 delegates selected. Though OBJ
viously delighted over the result he had
no statement to make.
