pyramid. IhCy nave the opportunity
to include also specific and ad valor-
en- duties which the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber law places on wooden fabrics.
Although a mans suit Of clothes or
woman's dress may not have a fibre
of imported wool in IT, the "protec-
t!on" on fabrics brought into the
country furnishes a pretcxt for rails
ing prices on domestic woolens, which
are made to bear the tariff burden the
same as if they were manufactured
abroad and sold here. Instead of
$3.6S on four yards of cloth in a suit
of clothes, therefore, the new tariff
will make the cost OF it something
like $3.50 or IS.
And Still Increased
| The American Woolen Company
! Cthe Wool Trust) recently advanced
the prices Of it's manufactures from
| 10 TO 45 cents a yard This was in
anticipation Of tho new duty of 81
/ cents a secured pound on wool. TAX
/ ing the average of these increases
/ 271k cents a yaru--and pyramiding
! that as is done in the case of the duty
on raw wool, the result would be this:
on cloth previously priced at
s1.25 yard. the average in
crease of 27la cents would
make the-ncw price. ce......s1.525
| The clothing manufacturers
markup would make this. 1.945
The middleman's markup would
make this. s..........,...... 2'4l
The retailers markup would

Thus it will be seen that If this in
crease in price had not been made by
the Wool Trust, four yards Of cloth
that will now cost the consumer
s13.92 would have cost him only
sll.75. In turn, had the Republicans
not imposed, an excessive duty on
wool the trust and all the other profi-
teers would not have had so fine an
excuse for levying a toll Of so or go
per cent on every woolen garment
worn by American men, women and
children.
Ruthless advances in the prices OF
wooden clothing is not the only and
perhaps not the worst evil for which
the new Republican tariff will be re-
sponsible. Along with the higher
prices will go poorer qualities, foi
most fabrics will be mixed with shod-
dy and sold for wool and at the price.

enough to bear the burden of the new
