Says Woolgrower Misled.

In order to complete the opportunity
OF thus avoiding the payment OF the
tariff on foreign wool and yet main
tain nominal high tariff to de-
ceive the woolgrower. congress pro-
vided In all of the Republican wool
schedules for what is called the
"skirting clause" This permits the
manufacturer. not only to import the
cleanest woods raised, under the
classification OF the diruest. but to
cut off from the clean fleece the tag
locks and the under part OF the
fleece, which carries most of the
carefully to examine the law and It's
workings Is led 10 believe that he
has a high protective tariff on his
wool. but clearly he has not.
The Republican tariff makers. how
ever, on the other hand, have treated
the manufacturers. who give more at
tention to tariff making. very differ
entity. In order fully to protect them
the tariff on manufactured woolen
goods i5 based upon the theory that
So 2-3 per cent of the wool imported
is actually dirt and therefore that
the manufacturer has to pay a tariff
OF II cents pound on wool In the
fleece, which shrinks Sc 2-3 per cent.
or 33 cents on clean wool. so the
manufacturer is given this SO cents
per pound on manufactured woolens
to offest the alleged protection given
TO the wool raiser: but that Is not
enough. and so a compensatory duty
Of Al cents per pound on woolon
goods Is added TO offset the differ
ence in the cost OF labor Thus the
manufacturer is given a double pro-
lection.

sachusetts, one OF the great wooden
manufacturing centers of the United
states. The accounts OF the strike
and the condition OF the laborers In
these mills has been recently pub
lished in the press dispatches, which.
with the report from the congress
slonal investigation, shows that the
iaborers In these wooden mills are
no better OFF than are tho laborers In

condition In Massachusetts In the
employment of ,hls highly protected
industry, as they do in tho cheap Ia
Dor centers of Europe. And yet there
can be no tariff legislation without
the eport OF a standpat commission.

and abroad, after the presidents

facts existing at Lawrence were not
given TO the public,
What could exhibit moro completely
the injustice Of the Republican t1o-
ory OF protection? They have given
to the manufacturers excessive pro-
lection. avowedly for the benefit OF
labor and the real beneiiciaries have
reduced labor In woolen mills to much
the same condition that prevails in
foreign mills.

Wages on European Basis.

II has been my observation that Ia
Dor is paid less In the highly pro-
tected Industries OF this country
than those which are unprotected.
and that labor unions, rather than
the tariff, maintain the higher wage
scale. These workmen at Lawrence
we're not members of labor unions.
1t is g. very plausible slogan which
the Republicans have finally adopted
that the protective tariff must at
least be sufficient 10 equal the differ
ence in the cost Of labor at home and
abroad, but 1t Is devised to deceive
just as was tile cry twenty years
ago that 'the foreigner paid tho
tariff tax" After that was exposed
they adopted the campaign cry shat
we needed to protect infant indus
tries" This they have worn out, and
now II IS the difference in the cost
OF labor at home and abroad THIS is
now 10 be the mask by which the
laboring men OF the country are 10
be deceived and the manufacturer
given protection, even when Ameri-
can made goods are sold abroad to
foreigners cheaper than they are SOLD
at home to Americans.

the many glaring frauds perpetrated
upon the American people Ia the in

against the many consamess. co
not think that schedule *" is any
exception 10 the general rule under
which the Republican party has acted
as the consistent servant OF the
classes against the masses.
Wool growing Is one Of the leading
industries Of our state, and one In
which / am materially interested. bur
I have never failed to protest against
thia injustice whenever an occasion
was presented.
The Democrats recognized that
President Taft was an uncertain
quantity on the tariff question, n
there has been anything in his ad-
mtnistration In which he has ex-
hioited great weakness IT has been on
the tariff question. One OF the most
prominent leaders and observers OF
the Republican party in Utah. and
one at present very unfriendly to
President Taft, aptly said during the
discussion OF the Canadian reciprocity
question that President Taft was
jellyflsh' because he was so eAsily,

Growers Fear Distortion.

Neither my time nor your space
will probably permit OF an extended
discussion OF the subject. II a wool
grower makes a frank admission OF
tho truth favorable to the reduction
Of the tariff on wool it is liable to be
discounted and used unfairly, which
l think prevents some woolgrowers
from frankly stating just what they
do believe on the tariff issue, gnd
leads them TO demand more than
they expect, or really need, in the
belief that such q course VIII better
enable them 10 obtain e fair tariff
on wool.
call particular attention to your
criticism Of The Democrats In con-
sress for not waiting for the report
OF the tariff commission before at
tempting any legislation on the wool
question.
The Democrats In congress, under
the able leadership II Champ CLARK
and Oscar w. Undo cewooj, merely de-
mand prompt action and u square
deal, that the.e saal! be no discrirnl-
nation against this Industries OF any
section, and no flvors extended that
do not clearly benefit all. that tariff
taxes. Ike all other taxes, shall be
reduced as near IL Il minimum as
the revenues of the government will
permit. that the gross abuses that
not only have bc,n tolerated. but
wickedly adopted and psrpetrated by
Republican administrations, in the
interest OF the few and to the det-
pealed, and that without waiting for
a report OF a commission appointed
by power interested In delay and
reaction.

Opposes Discrimination.

The Republicans Of Ciah are ihus
able 10 make a very speciCus arGu-
ment TO the people of Ctah. because
we are interested In the production
OF what is called raw materials and
sugar. We properly take great ptide
in our local Industries, and there Is
no reason why we should not Per
sonally / conceive II to be the duty
of our representatives in congress To-
see that in the reduction OF the tariff
we should not have the commodities
produced IN our locality discrlmiaated
against, and put upon the free list,
when the products Of the east arc
put on the protective list.
/ am pleased that the Democratic
majority In the house OF representa-
lives Is opposed to any such policy;
that they insist that the tariff shall
be revised so as to not discriminate
against any locality or industries.
They further propose to reduce the
bears most heavily upon the masses,
because II is the masses who are un-
able to dodge the payment of taxes
and II is the classes that always
manage to do so.
I am sure that q 20 per cent ad
valorem duty based upon secured
wool. which will eliminate most OF
the opportunities for fraud in avoid
ing the payment OF the tariff, will
provide as much protection to the
woolSrowers OF our country as any
bill that could be now or will here
after be passed; 1t is as much as the
woolgroWer needs and he should well
come 1t. 1t may be true that the
Democrats would. If they could, re-
duce the tariff to 20 per cent ad
valorem. but even that would still
leave a substantial amount of pro-
lection, 1t would by no means be
such radical reduction as Repub-
lican newspapers claim.

CompensatorY Duty.

One OF the main reasons for the vio-
lent agitation for a revision OF sched-
ule * Is the fact that II provides
the manufacturer q compensatory duty
on imported cloth OF "a cents per
pound. under the assumption that I'm
ported woods shrink Sc o-3 per cent.
and that four pounds Of wool are re-
CURED TO make one pound OF. cloth,
which Is by no means true, and un-
der the further assumption that the
tariff has increased the cost of each
pound of wool to the manufacturer
II cents. Therefore. on the four
pounds or wool required 10 make ono
pound OF cloth he is given a compen-
satory duty of ~ cents. when as a
matter OF fact much Of the wool In
the grease which is imported does
not shrink more than 20 or 30 per
cent With such woods the Importer
docs not use two hounds of wool in
the grease TO make one pound of
cloth, and yet he is given protection
FOR four pounds.
OF wool TO make one pound OF cloth,
except In the case OF woods which
actually shrink Sc 2-S per cent. and
these are never imported. In fact,
the woods imported are such that
two pounds will make a pound Of
cloth. and on this cloth the manu-
facturer has his compensatory duty
OF "A cents under the assumption
that four pounds Of wool are re-
auired. ANY one who has studied
the compensatory duty as Il now ex-
lists recognizes It's unfsirness. There

me administration, Lnrouga oend-
tor Smoot, last January announced
that the Republican wool schedule
would provide for specific duty Of
20 cents per pound on clean wool
This is not a very material difference
from 20 per cent ed valorem duty
on secured wool Personally, l favor
the specific duty, because 1t Is more
easily enforced.
Wherein have the Democrats thus
far shown disposition to destroy
the wool industry Of this state, even
from the standpoint OF the protec-
tionist2 AS a matter Of fact. there
are some Republicans In congress

You say that the tariff board is

true but was II not appointed after
the failure OF the administration to
revise tho tariff downward? Why.

The measure passed was clearly a
material reduction, and yet not so
radical as violently to disturb busi-
ness. In fact. many woomen admit
that It was satisfactory to them in
view OF the agitation that existed
and which was inconsiderately start
ed by President Taft.
The leading woolgrower in con-
gress.. Mr.. Kent OF California, a
progressive Republican. voted for the
Democratic wool bill which the presi-
dent vetoed last year. AS President
Taft urged the imperative need of
the Democrats be condemned for act
ing promptly and passing such an
act? And why should President Taft
be permitted further to delay action?
And, above all. why should you con-
denim the Democrats for reintro-
duclng the same measure after the
tariff board has reported. since you
make no attempt to show that the
bin was inconsistent with the report
Of the tariff commission? Why not

Real Reduction Slight.

While the 20 per cent ad valorem
duty on wool reduced the nomIal
tariff from II cents per pound on
wool in the fleece as II comes from
the sleeps back, to probably about
or cents, the actual reduction OF the
tariff on wool was comparatively
slight, because about 5 cents of tho
il cents tariff has never been paid
by importers or manufacturers at all;
and the trainers OF the Paine Aldrich
bill we'll knew that the loopholes for
fraud In shedule "K'' were such that
the manufacturers could avoid at
least cents OF the II cents The
Dingley bill contained the same op-
portunity for fraud and so did ITS
predecessor, the Mckinley bill This
was knowingly tolerated and provided
for by permitting the importer to
pay only one-third OF the 33 cents
which must be paid on clean wool.
