cotton schedule to suit themselves.
Or the nine Lippitt-McColl fabrics

average duty from 1861 to 6O33 per
cent In other words, the promised
revision downward" on these goods
was really revision upward amounting
to 64.97 per cent of the Dingley rates.
The remaining thirty EIGHT classes of
all cotton fabrics on which the duty
was increased were not generally the
product of the favored New England
ring. Under the Dingley law these
thirty eight fabrics were assessed an
average duty of 1886 per cent Under
the Payne-Aldrich law they pay Ass
per cent-a revision upward equal tc
26.O7 per cent Of the former rate as
compared with 64.97 per cent increase
on manufactures Of the favored few.
On just three among the 100 samples
was there decrease In duty. These
were the silk and cotton fabrics (silk
mills, that pay more than 100 per cent
duty. On these three samples the re
duction averaged 5.66 per cent on the
former duty-a reduction from ll6. 10
per cent under the Dingley law to
l1O.A per cent under the Payne-Al
drich law On one Of the silk and cot
ton samples there was an increase
amounting to 21.98 per cent. The fifth
of the silk and cotton samples was left

On the forty-flve Of the ninety five
