The National Retail Dry Goods Asso-
citation announces in its statement that
il has had n committee at work for
weeks studying the features of the
American valuation plan. with the re-
suit that at the regular meeting OF the
organization ON October II last, the
following resolution was adopted:
"ResolUed, That we, the directors
OF the National Retail Dry Goods Asso-
citation, as American citizens and mer-
chants. representing more than twenty
two hundred of the leading retail stores
of the United States, employing approx
imately four hundred thousand people
and distributing in the aggregate nearly
$4,000, 100000 worth OF commodities
yearly, mindful OF our responsibilities to
our country, to american commerce and
TO the great body of American con-
sumers, hereby record our unqualified
disapproval of the American valuation
plan and recommend vigorous and i'm
mediate opposition thereto by our mem
bers and others who may see in this
plan. as we do, menace to the future
prosperity and wellbeing OF the Ameri-
can people.
The statement continues 10 anaIyze

favor OF g. liberal protective tariff on

findings:
l. That the plan Will increase re-

duty upon Imported goods by increas-
ing their own prices.
. That the American public,
which holds the retailers responsible
for prices at which merchandise is
sold for consumption. will prefer a
tariff law which plainly shows what
the duties are.
8. That the plan will aggravate
rather than halt foreign exchange
depreciation.
4. That the plan will reduce for
eign buying to Guesswork because
the plan is indirect complicated
and indefinite.'' because the Aineri-
can buyer purchasing goods abroad
viii have no knowledge of what the
final landed cost OF the merchandise
will be.
). That the adoption OF the plan
would seriously interfere with the
Improvement OF certain fundamental
conditions which must be achieved
if there Is to be a restoration Of ma
tional prosperity and the relief of
widespread unemployment.
6. That the plan will hinder or
prevent the international exchange
Of raw materials. products and mer-
chandise at a period in our national
life when such exchange Is more es-
sential than ever before in the his
tory Of the country.
Z. That the plan will be detrinlen-
tai to the best interests of American
farmers and growers because it will
force European nations to buy their
wheat, meats and other foodstuffs
from South America, Australia and
Canada: their cotton from India:
their oil from Mexico and many
manufactured products from Great
Britain. France and Germany.
The National Council Of American
Importers and Traders announced also

Economists and Bankers Also
See Bad Results From Per-
centage Scheme.

Two important organizations in the
retail field. the National Council OF
American Importers and Traders, and
the National Retail Dry Goods Asso-
ciation joined yesterday in condemninG
tho American valuation plan in the
proposed Fordney tariff. The chief
objection 10 the plan, under which
terms of percentage on the domestic
wholesale selling price, stressed by
10th organizations is that retail prices
would inevitably be increased. The
other common objections are that the
plan will tend to encourage specula-
ton, rctard importation and accen-
tliato the unemployment problem.
The opinions of six leading econo-
mists, bankers and merchants arc en-
bi'aced sir. & statement issued by the
National Council of American I'M
porters and Traders.
They are summarized as follows:
Prof. Henry r. Seager OF the de-
partment of economics at Columbia
University says that IL would encourage
speculative manipulation OF prices. Jesse
J. Straus of r. II. Macy & Co. declares
that we cannot sell to Europe if we do
.iot buy, and that we need the markets
of the world 70 help in the solution of
our unemployment problem. The Ameri-
can valuation clause would further dis
arrange exchanges and repress inter-
national trade. Ancell IL. Ball, presi-
dent of Best & Co., absolutely opposes
this measure because 1t Will defeat the
natural trend of prices downward and
Drolong the period Of business depres-
sion with deleterious results TO the
country at large. d. It. Kelly of Chi
cago believes that the American value
ton plan will not only result in higher
prices but will stifle competition. He
declares America should protect her
manufacturers against cheap foreign
labor but not to the extent OF elfmina-
ton OF foreign competition.
Hurt Foreign Trade.
&c. II. T. Deans, vice-president OF
tiie Merchants Loan and Trust Company
of Chicago, opposed this measure on the
ground that it will undo what the other
branches OF the Government have been
striving for--the development of our
foreign trade and the reduction OF living
costs at home. Franklin Simon opposes
the measure because its cffectuation
will open q channel for unlimited liti-
cation. 1t Will not procure additional
revenues and will furthermore make

EXPIRED HATRED

Our hatred of the Germans,
A few brief months ago.
Inspired our songs and sermons
Filled every tale of woe;
But now we all are jumping
To keep our rolls from slumping;
We are so busy humping
The hatred has to go.
We used to hate kaiser,
The author of all our crime;
But now, if we're not wiser,
At least we have less time;
We have to WELD our axes
While yet the summer wakes,
To pay our income taxes,
When comes the winter time.
IN glad that angry passion
I Forsakes the human breast
That we, in kindly fashion
Can let old spectres rest
That we grow tired of hating
And keeping teeth a-grating;
| The rows
OF beans are waiting for noes,
And hoeing's best.
When Kaiser Bill first started
His well known saving stunt.
| viewed him granite hearted.
And hoped his saw was blunt;
| hoped the wood was knotted.
With rusty nails be spotted,
And that the Job dod-rotted
Would wilt his martial front.
But now l see him saving
, Which is the worst of jobs
F And seem to hear him drawing
His breath in gasping sobs;
: ] pause in my home brewing
| To wish him easy hewing;
For what's the use pursuing
s With hate that poor old nobs
6 I used to hate the Germans
From eight o'clock till ten,
And after Sabbath sermons,
II I'd hate them DER again;
But old time hates are breaking
And gentler thoughts are waking
. While l am busy raking
J. To earn some iron men.Walt Masc
