Those who turned down President
Taft because he favored reciprocity with
Canada, and voted for Wilson will have
good reason to regret their action if the
re ports from Washington concerning the
Wilson tariff are true. New England
industries and the farmers of this sec
ton will suffer under the free trade
measure framed at Washington. The
Washington correspondent Of the Boston
Transcript says that after the Demo
or ats had captured Congress the South
and West saw their chance to punish
N ew England, of which they have long
been jealous because of its power in Con-
or ess, through her industries. These
are primarily boots and shoes, cottons
and wo olens. They put boots and shoes
on the free list, and have so reduced the
duties on cotton and wooden goods that,
if the word of the textile manufacturers
is good for anything, these industries
will be made Improbable. Free pulp
and paper and free lumber are blows
aimed at New England. The famous
farmers free list struck at group of
iron and steel manufactures produced
with more skill in New England than
an ywhere else. The spirit in which
many of these tariff cuts have been
made may be imagined from the fact
that practically every prominent New
England manufacturer who testified be-
fore the Committee on Ways and Means
peatedly before he was permitted to
finish.
