TO MEMBERS OF
THE SEWING CIRCLE

Do YOU wear corsets? If so, you are
one of the women that the Fordney-
McCumber Republican tariff bill will
COMPEL to pay $58,0OO,0O0 in taxes a
year. The proposed duty under the
Fordney- Nc Cumber bill is GA per cent
or 81 times the wage cost. The pres
emit duty is 80 per cent on plain cotton
corsets or nearly twice the present
wage cost of 17.3 per cent. The Fair
Tariff League, to whom you are in
debted for the statistics herein esti-
mates that the proposed duty would be
a possible tax of $29,000,0O0 for the
manufacturers, and cost women at re-
tail price twice this, or $58,00O,OOO.
This tax is for manufacturers-not
for revenue. In 1919 the government
collected only $4,000 on corsets; only
$4,000 in 1920, and 1921 only $4,000.
The Fair Tariff League, which has
made special study Of this bill, says
that the proposed duty will shut out
imports and compel women to buy
from domestic manufacturers at any
prices they dare charge. A domestic
manufacturer who is prosperous says
ats an outrage" However, some cor
set factories are hard up, but so are
