The new wool tariff is so outrageous
that il will take almost billion dollars
each year in additional prices, over
what they should be from the pockets
of the consumers This amount alone
in four years, would pay the entire bill
for the soldiers bonus. The people,
who would like to see the boys get the
bonus, will have to pay this bill, and
yet the soldiers will go without their
rccompenSc. One of the most ironical
frauds in the wool tariff is the fact
that it taxes as pure wool every fake

an insult which even sheep should re-

shirts usually contains from so to 50
per cent of shoddy and the remainder
is cotton. Many folks think the word
shoddy merely means poor grade OF
wool. That is correct as far as il
goes, but the fact is that Shoddy is
made from the ragpicker's rags. pulled
to pieces by machinery and again spun
and dyed. The long fiber and the life
of the original wool are gone and the
garment in which it is used is of short
life, poor quality and of little warmth
