LESSON ON TARIFF
HOSIERY SCHEDULE SUPPLIES
CLEAR ILLUSTRATION OF ITS
PRACTICAL EFFECTS.
PROTECTION RATE TOO HIGH
Labor Cost Of Production In This
Country Little More Than In Eu-
rope notwithstanding Difference
In Wages,

We have received the following ap-
peal for light on the tariff:
Is this the Democratic idea of the
tariff: That II the tarifr is taken off
hosiery the American product will be
undersold by the German because IL
can be produced cheaper in that coun-
try than 1t can in the United States?
Would this be true of all things now
carrying tariff?"
so Tar as we are aware, the Demo-
cratic party has never made any dec
laration on hosiery, but we are glad
that item was specified. because it
affords peculiarly clear and intelli-
gible illustration OF the practical ef-
feet of the tariff. Hosiery worth a
dollar a dozen pairs in Germany is
taxed under our tariff so cents and 15
per cent. or rs cents. Omitting
freight and commissions and Incl
dental charges, this hosiery, then.
could be sold here for $1.75 dozen.
The census bulletins show that in
hosiery the wages constitute about
one-fourth of the value of the prod
uct. On domestic stockings worth
$1.76 dozen, therefore, the total
labor cost would be about A cents.
The position OF the manufacturer.
then, Is that where he pays "A cents
to his working people he gets rs cents
OF protection. The Democratic party
does not believe that he needs any
such rate of protection. The labor
cost of production in this country is
little more than 1t is in Europe in
any line. and In many lines It is much
less. In the last fiscal year we ex-
ported more than billion dollars
worth OF manufactured goods. In
July more than half of the exports
were manufactured goods. OF course,
II 1t cost more to produce manufactur-
ed goods here than In Europe we
could not export on any such scale
as this. The employees in our machine
shops get better wages than the men
In foreign machine shops. and yet we
exported machinery to the value of
$115.000.000 In the last fiscal year.
or course. the Democratic party
does not believe that lowering duties
would close our mills and throw all

did it would not advocate reducing
duties. The reports OF the tariff
board show, what students of eco
Monies knew before, that the labor
cost OF production is often lowest
where wages are highest There is a
book on the efficiency of labor, or the
relative costs OF labor where wages
are high and where they are low, by
Jacob Schoenhoff. There is volume
of lectures on Work and Wages" by
Lord Brassey. and another book by
him on similar subject, which. of
course. have no specific reference to
our tariff, but are all the more val
liable for that reason. They are dis
cussions OF the greater economy of
high-priced labor. Lord Brassey's ia.
ther built railroads in every part of
the world. and he found that It made
little difference In the cost of con-
struction whether he paid shilling
In India. four shillings In France or
six shillings In England; II there
were any difference the cost was low

The thing the Progressive so warm

on through the familiar formula as
to "equaiizing conditions of competi-

thing which the Democracy is espe-
cially anxious to smite between the
eyes. The difficulty Of merging the
honest and sincere portion of the
Roosevelt following into the Wilson
following is precisely the difficulty of
fusing two companies when the evil

McHara,s View Of Roosevelt.

McHarg may have deserted Roose-
welt because he would not follow him
out OF the Republican party and he
may have substantial reasons for de-
serting him. 1t is to be remembered
that McHarg went into Roosevelt's
service after denouncing him as the
most dangerous man in our political
life. and declaring that he would not
vote for his candidate for governor of
New York two years ago

NOW in SIGHT

Fourteen thousand dollars should
soon be made available by the action
to be taken on Saturday noon, at
which time the city and county Board
OF Supervisors will meet and pass to
a second reading a, special appropria-
ton for an armory building.

tional Guard
The appropriation will pass a final
reading and be available by the latter
part of the month.
The matter of selection of the lowest
bidder for complete set of brass band
instruments will be determined follow
ing the recommendation of the ways
and means committee. Two local firms
entered the lists to furnish the MEM
bers of the city and county band with
a new equipment of instruments.
The meeting to be called for Satur
day is expected to bring to the fore
several bidders among local contract
ors, who will be in the market to fur
nish curb for Kalakaua avenue, for
which Improvement the board has
passed an appropriation of three thou
sand dollars. The award of the con-
tract will be determined by the road
committee.
Contractor John H. Defries, who sub
mitted the lowest bid for the con-
struction of the Moanalua Puuloa road
is expected to be awarded the contract
for this strip of three miles of high
way at the next meeting of the board.
Labor claims and general expense
bills which have been accommodating at

NO theory as to the identity OF the

it is thought by some that the skele-

There is also a theory that perhaps

There were no personal effects of
