RELATIVE TO THE TARIFF

Relative to the tariff and tariff duties
as shown recently by the commission
of inquiry, among other things the
boards figures would seem to show
that the "prohibitory duties" do not
affect the American consumer so much
as would be inferred by the use OF those
words; for while the duties on sixteen
SAMPLES of foreign cloth selected by the
board averaged 1874 per cent, the actual
excess OF the domestic price over the
foreign price was found to be 81 per
cent as the result OF domestic compe-
tition.
"At the present time the industry in
general is on competitive basis" says
the report.
The cost of a suit of clothes from the
back of sheep to the back OF man is
computed in the report and the profits
which accrue in the process are traced
TO their sources. For purposes OF COM
putation the board takes suit OF
clothes retailing at 1923 and wholesaling
nj $l6.5O. This is said to represent fair
ly the suit OF clothes worn by the aver
age American.
The farmer receives for the wool In
such a suit 1928 and his profit is So
cents; the manufacturer OF cloth re-
ceives for his product $4.7S and his
profit is % cents; the wholesale cloth
ing dealer receives for his product $l6,
so and his profit is s2.lS; the retail
clothing dealer receiues $28 and his
profit is $3.50.

Harvesting Their Ice Crop
W. Ds EuuJ
Clerk OF said city

The l.. &. Epson Co. began their
annual ice harvest the last OF the week
and are now busily engaged in storing
some OF the finest Ice ever put upin Beld
ing. The ice is being put up at Can
mons pond and is about twelve inches
thick, as clear as q window pane and
rs pure as could be asked for. Mr..
Epson was considerably worried the
first OF the week on account OF leak
in the dam which allowed the pond 10
settle considerably but several men
were employed TO draw in dirt and fill
in the dam and ii is now thought that
the full crop can be gathered.
The Ballou Manufacturing Co. have
placed a couple Of their gasoline engines
at the ice plant and they are doing the
work OF hosting and shaving the ice
in fine shape. The capacity Of the
engines is sufficient for the work and
speaks volumes for the engines. Sup
erintendent Adam Dierstein placed the
engines in commission and Is highly
elated over the success which crowned
Lis efforts although several had claim
that they would prove inadequate for
the work.

AT THE FUNERAL
Was Met by the New Mikado In Per-

From Court.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. !
TOXIC, Sept. 10.-Prince Henry of
Prussia, who will represent the kaiser
at the funeral of the late Mikado Nit
suhito. arrived here today Consid-
cradle comment was caused by the
fact that instead of sending court and
government officials to meet him, as
in Secretary Knox's case, the mikado
met Prince Henry at the railroad sta
ton here in person. He will similar
ly honor Prince Arthur of Connaught,
representing King George of Eng

The distinction is interpreted by
many as lending color to the reports
that the Japanese secretly think SEQ
rotary Knox came rather on COM
mercial mission than one of pure sym
pathy and are deeply offended.
