Cats AND THE TARIFF

Ex-Governor Cats at the Atlanta
Tariff convention is reported to have
said that the industries Of Florida
are languishing on account of for
eign competition and that a "protec-
tive tariff is the cure-all.
What industry is languishing?
Surely not our phosphate for it has
no foreign competition; nor has our
naval stores: nor lumber: nor corr,
ror cotton; nor sweet potatoes; nor
strawberries; nor peppers; nor okra,
etc. and if our orange and groE e
fruit Industries were languishing the
Ian:.s growing these fruits would no.
be commanding five thousand da,iars
per acre.
Al protective tariff to the Florida
farmer will not increase his prices q
single penny but will increase the
price on every implement he uses on
his farm and on every rag of cloth
ing he wears from his head to his
feet and on all his household and
kitchen furnishings.

PROPOSED DUTY ON HIDES

Mannafcturers as rule insist on
auty on what they sell but object 70
# ON what they buy. The Pnliauei-
phia Record says:
,rha Naiona. Boot and Shoe Manu-.
facturers' Association, IN conVelllio !,
assembled, has unanimously cohcuile 80 u
with the tanners in protesting against
the imposition of duty on hides. Inc
old Republican gag about the foreign
or paving the tax doesn't go IN Dusl-
ness. The tanners know that they
wpuld have to add it to the price or
Leather. The boot and shoe manufac-
turers know very well that if the price
Of leather covers the duty on hides
they will have TO add it to the price
CT the shoes. The people have COM
planned Of the high price of shoes, and
the manufacturers would like to get
the price down to a point at which the
public VIII buy. A tax on hides will
raise the price of all domestic as well
as imported hides, and add about 81
TO the selling price of each pair of
shoes.
There are a thousand times as MANY
men in the United States selling hides
as there are buying them and so but
for one thing a duty on hides would
not increase their price despite the
faet that we import thirty times as
great value of them as we export
But the packers sell as many hides
as all the balance Of the people of the
United States put together and the
BUYERS outnumber the packers prob
ably thousand to one. They would
stand together and dictate the price
they would get and individuals who
sold hides would probably get some
of the benefit of the prices they could
command. A duty on hides would in
crease their cost. that would increase
the cost Of leather and that the cost
of shoes.
Hides, leather and shoes are now
all on the free list and the great in
crease in the price of hides and leath-
err and the greater increase in the
price of shoes has been due to the vast
need OF shoes for the soldiers who
have been fighting in Europe. war is
terribly wearing on shoes.
The man who kills beef now and
then would get little more for his
hides and pay five times as much for
MS shoes. The big packing corpora
tons don't wear shoes but sell hides.
A duty on hides would add millions
to their treasures and the millions
they would gain would come out of the
pockets OF the American people. A
duty on hides would necessitate one
on leather and another on shoes and
the people would pay.-Times-Unio

MAKING IT HARD FOR HARDING

1t is apparent that there exists in
the republican party as well as in the
democratic party groups of politicians
bent on making it as hard as it can be
made for Mr.. Harding to begin his
administration under anspicious con
ditions.
The element in the republican par.
ty is that which was disappointed with
the results of the Chicago convention.
In some instances the black flag of
defiance boldly has been unfurled
but in most cases the intimations of
hostility are being made in subtle
ways.
In number of publications, domi.
mated by forces that were sorely dis
APPOINTED by the nomination of Mr..
Harding. there have recently appear
ed dire warning to him as to his ap-
pointments to the cabinet the Out
look" which has been the holder In
this particular, is much affrighted
that Mr.. Harding may attempt to pay
political debts in naming cabinet Of
ficers. If aThe Outlook had honestly
spoken its mind it would have said
that it didn't want Mr.. Harding to
appoint Harry Daughtery, Will Hays
and a few others. who have incurred
its displeasure, to any places of re-
sponsibility. If permitted to have its
way aThe Outlook would pick cab
met from among it's notable contribu-
tors, most of whom left the Chicago
convention in sack-cloth and ashes.
Mr.. Harding will pay political debts
in his appointments. He would be
an migrate if he did not. Every pres
ident we have had has rewarded the
men who. through long years of in
timacy and sound advice. helped to
fit him for elevation to the presiden-
,cy. No man is made by pursuing a
lonely course. Mr.. Harding has had
the benefit of the advice of many
good men. Some of these have been
closer to him than others He knows
them, respects their ability and, if
he chooses them for the cabinet, will
do so with the confidence that they
VIII prove loyal to the country and to
the administration.
Mr. Harding is of stern mettle. His
success has been achieved through
association with strong men. AS must
be really confessed. some of them
nroved themselves mighty clever pol
iticians. If being clever politician is
an offense, all of our presidents have
been offenders. Miami Herald.
