Why do you retain the prohibitive
tax on sewing machines? A ma
chine sells in this country to the
poor working man who earns his
bread by daily toll at $40 to $50.
I am informed by men who have
been in the Oriental trade that the
same machine is laid down in the
Orient at $S25 wholesale price. If
that tax is not in the interest OF
protected monopoly, why did you
keep it in the Payne bill? You got
no revenue from it, not a dollar.
You levy tax without dollar OF
revenue and keep it there in order
that you may have tariff wall be-
hind which monopolistc combina-
ton may thrive and flourish. If this
bill passes it will allow free COM
petition between the meats of Ar
gentine and those sold by the Beef
Trust. There is no question but
that, the price of meat affects great
combinations which control the meat
products of this country. These
combinations fix the price of meat
according to the demands of the
market and the necessities Of the
case. This is the only way we can
secure competition in meat prod
ucts. I believe this will reduce the
cost of meat products and hence
the cost of living"

manufacturer and the American
producer are entitled to a large per-
centage OF the American market,
but they are not entitled to mo-
nopoly. They are entitled to a fair
opportunity to dispose of their goods
at home, but they are not entitled
to have the tariff wall built so high
that it prohibits competition and
gives them a chance, by combina-
tons at home, to exploit the Amer
lean people for the benefit of them
selves. A reasonable reduction of
the tariff to a competitive basis,
where there is a chance for fair
competition to regulate prices, will
not only be beneficial to the Amer
lean people, but will increase the
revenue at the customs houses.

Chemicals.

The Underwood bill revising the
Chemical Schedule passed by the House
at this session of Congress made a
thorough overhauling of this very anti
quated schedule. The bill not only cor
reefs the numerous defects in the CLASH
fcations of the schedule, but makes a
systematic adjustment of rates in the
light of the present industrial condi-
tons of the various businesses, as we'll
as in the interest of the consumers.
To this end careful study was made
of the chemical free list, and low rates
of duty were levied upon non-competl-
tive articles not produced in this coun-
try, with the view of having them share
in equitable taxation for revenue pur-
poses. The chemicals used in the tex
tile industries were given special atten-
ton, an adjustment being made in &C
cordance with the revision of the cotton
schedule proper. This plan was also
observed with regard to the wool IN
dustry, the paper industry, and special
consideration was given to the interest
of the consumer, in the matter OF the
chemicals and drugs used for medicines.
The revision of the chemical schedule, II
enacted into law, would effect saw
ing to American consumers of about
S17,000,000, and at the same time the
revenue to the Government would be
increased by about S4O0OOO0. (Sec

Underwood's Speech.

In his speech on the Free List Bill,
delivered in the House of Representa-
tives, May 2, 1911 Congressional Rec
ord, PIP. 794 to 1867, Mr.. Underwood
said:
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1912-04-20

about IS per cent. Taking
the figures of domestic consumption
based on mill and import values,
an increase of Is per cent amounts
to S2O9, 5o3,673 for 1910. This would
indicate that the American people
pay annually about $2O0,OOO,O0O
more for their cotton goods by rea-
son of the present tariff rates. The
total amount of duties collected on
all these manufactures imported in
1910 was $3S,077,S44 in 1909, $751;
O6O,4O1. Hence, it would appear that
the people pay from S. to s. for
every 81 paid into the Treasury in
duties on cotton manufactures"
In his speech on the Cotton Bill, de-
livered in the House of Representatives
July %, 1911, Mr.. Underwood said:
1.-THE difference between a pro-
tectivc and a revenue tariff is that
a revenue tariff never enters the
domain of protecting profits, but
must act from that point downward.
A protective bill begins to protect
small! profits, and goes up as the
Payne bill did until it protects enor-
nous profits. With that definition
in view, I believe this (cotton) bill
is along the line of 4 revenue tariff"
AS clearly pointed out by Mr.. I'm
1erwood in this speech, the effect OF the
bill would bring substantial relief to the
struggling for an existence by
materially reducing the price of clothing
and hence the cost of living.

HOLY NAME IN
EXTRA PERIOD

In their first encounter of the sea-
son the Holy Name basketball crew
triumphed over the Puritan Juniors
on the Kozusko court in the prelim-
mary attraction to the Oak-Se-
warren battle Saturday night. The
final score was 17-15, and the battle
was won only after an extra period
was played.
The Puritan Juniors played a game
uphill fray, coming from behind an
SO score and creeping up until they
were on even terms with the Holy
Name aggregation, when the referee
blew his whistle at the end of the
second stanza.
Smith was the hero, dropping four
through the net, while Riedy's foul
shooting was one of the bright af-
fairs of the game.
This is how the teams worked:

BROOKLYN TEAM SHOWED CLASS

Canton were going at a Whirlwind
pace, passing all around their oppon-
ents.
Bill Reynolds played the best
game Of his career in this city Sat-
urday night. Not only did he out
jump his opponents at the pivot, who
was his equal in height, but he also
showed crack form In floor work and
passing. Not once during hostilities
did he ease up. Eddie Regain played
a whole game and proved the great
est scoring factor of the fray. Be-
sides dropping the pellet through
the ring five times, he also took part
in the passes and showed all around
clever style. Jimmie Canton was
his usual self, going at top-notch
speed every moment and being re-
sponsible for many of the field goals
which were gained by the aid of his
floor work and passing.
Durham and Captain McCreery
were out Of the game as they were to

Just as they had been vanquished
by the Christ Church Cadets, No
vember 16, the Riversides conquered
and put to rout the Good Counsel
Heavyweight Five, of Brooklyn, Sat-
urday night on the Auditorium court
before the most enthusiastic audi
nee that has witnessed a basketball
game here this season. The spirit
was probably brought out because
the tussle was nip-and-tuck every
moment and afforded more speed
than any other fray yet staged here.
The final tally was 22-13.
After being outpointed although
not outplayed in the first period of
the game by a 1875 score, the River
sides came back SO strong in the sec
ond and final administration that
they wholly surprised their heavier
and bigger opponents to such an ex-
tent that the visitors did not score
one field goal in the last half.
And let us whisper right here that
the Good Counsel bunch were no
'slouches." They worked hard and
showed class but as 500 as they
approached any position near their
goal every one of the five River
sides dashed with determination and
intent to down and defeat and that Is
what happened. Allen and Burns,
the two crack guards of the locals,
simply swallowed their men, so to
speak, not only keeping them from
scoring but giving them few chances
to see the sphere.
In the first half the Rivies could
not solve the formation of the Coun-
sci forwards and as a result, Sweeny
the left forward, dropped three field
goals through the net. But there
was nothing to 1t in the second
frame. While Burns and Allen were
doing masterful guarding, lanky Bill

Across the Raritan several miles
above Tottenville, n little burg
formerly called Pleasant Plains, was
beset by a lot of warriors and about
two hundred of their followers yes
terday afternoon, and while their
stay there lasted but three hours,
it was sufficient for the visitors to
rob all the honor that the lonely
innocent burg ever knew. The name
now attributed to that little section of
Staten Island domain will be known
hereafter to sporting fraternity in
these diggings as Unpleasant Plains,
for gloom and sadness will reign in
the hooks and corners in the town
supporting the green and white for
many oon to come. And all be-
cause the Dexter football eleven, of
this city, imbued with a spirit of re-
venge because of sneers passed at
them and because of comparisons
made In which their ability was not
admitted, swamped down upon the
Royals On the Pleasant Plains grid
iron yesterday afternoon and gave
that bunch of pigskin hooters the
worst lacing ever handed out in these
parts. 1t was 51-0 in favor of the
Dexters, who supported the crimson
and white, and never once in the tus-
sic did King Brogger's squad of toss
ers fail to continue their consistent
plunging and battling. The Royals
were simply beaten, battered, slash
ed uppercut and minced. However,
the Staten Islanders stuck to their
task like Trojans, determined to do
their utmost, no matter how little 1t
accomplished.
Hope of victory was remote I'M
mediately after the referee blew his
whistle and from that time until the
end of the warfare, desperately but
vainly did the green and white
sweaters attempt to evade the GRIM
son lot and nea the Dexter goal
post. The fates seemed to have de
creed that no one shall cross that
goal line made sacred by not having
been trodden owe in five long and &C
tive years. The Royals were beaten
yes, walloped. But they were no
cutters. They tried hard and game
ly, but could not resist the attack of
such human bullets as Tody Booz and
Byrne Toolan. These warriors just
plunged through their line of green
sweaters never needing the approach
of n of their opponents and always
registering a gain. Only once did
the Dexters fail to make their downs
while the Plainsant Plains crew scor-
ed their downs but two times. Every
