Diamonds viii Remain Dear.

The major portion of the present re-
tail price of a diamond consists Of
government taxes, Frank b. Wade
writes in Leslie's. Many years ago
South African statesmen decreed that
any diamond mines which should be
discovered thereafter should pay to
the government GO per cent of their
net profits in each year. The great
Cullinon diamond of over 5000 carats,
which was presented to the, British
crown by the Transvaal government
after the Boer war, in recognition of
the speedy granting of a constitution

valued at 81 100000, cost the South
African state much under that amount
in actual cash, for several hundred
thousand dollars was due the state
as a tax under the above act.

Even those farmers who raise sugar
beets might properly ask in what way
their interests are being protected by
an increase in the duty on Cuban
sugar. 1t is currently rumored that
the contract price paid the farmer for
sugar beets during the coming season
will be from $500 to $3.50 a ton.
The average pre-war price with the
tariff at 1c was s5.57, approximately
the price that will be paid farmers
during the coming season with the
tariff increased GOO.
Very few farmers grow wool, but all
farmers wear clothes. American grown
wool, the product of the American
farm, is one of the chief rallying cries
of the high tariff exponent.
FalIacy of Wool "Protection"
Farmers are clad in mid-winter
mostly in cotton and shoddy, and yet
the wooden manufactures today is
given As cents a pound protection on
the entire weight of the farmers
clothing on the basis that 1t is all wool.
He passes this additional cost on to
the farmer, but gives the wool grower
about %one-third of this As cents in In
creased price of wool.
A foreign piece of mems suiting
weighing eighteen ounces to the yard
is 1870 cotton, 800 wool and 5000
wool shoddy, costing on the present
rate Of exchange $1.O9 a yard. A com
parable domestic fabric costs $1.75.
Under the Fordney Tariff the duty
would be 24% of this $1.75, or 42c;
the weight duty at Soc a pound, 33Ac,
and the landing charge 91ac, making
the foreign fabric cost here $1.95.
Under the present Emergency Tariff,
with it's Acc a pound weight duty, the
fabric would cost sos as against the
AMERICAN price Of $1.75.
The wool grower would get loo pro
lection per pound instead of the i5c
weight duty, the manufacturer keep
ing SOC of the weight duty, but charg-
ing the farmer who buys clothing the
full 45c.
The American farmer should be In
terested to find out why 1t is that his
common agricultural implements man.
ufactured in the United States can be
bought for less by the European farm
err than he has TO pay for them,
thanks to the protective tariff. For
instance, he should inquire why he
has to pay 1891 a dozen for. a shovel
manufactured in this country while
the identical shovel exported a be
bought in Europe for $3.50.
With these facts In mind it Is time
that the American farmer let himself
be heard in protest against a protec-
tive tariff which most cmphatically
does not give him a square deal.
