Do you wear corsets? If so, you
are one of the women that the Ford
ney Cumber Republican Tariff bill
will compel to pay $4,000, 900 in taxes
a year. The proposed duty under the
Fordney- Met Cumber bill is ga per cent,
81 times the wage cost. The present
duty is 80 percent on plain cotton cor
sets or nearly twice the present wage
cost of 1913 percent. The Fair Tariff
League to whom you are indebted for
the statistics herein. estimates that
the proposed duty would be a posi-
BILE tax of $26,000,O00 for the manu-
facturers, and cost women at retail
pricce twice this, or $4,000, 900. This
tax is for manufacturers-not for rev.
enue. In 1919 the government col
lected only $4,000 on corsets; only
81 900 in 1920, and in 1921 only 10000
/ 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
"It's an outrage" However, some
corset factories are hard up, but sc
are some women.
We make corsets cheaper and bet
ter than anywhere else in the world
In 1920 the exports on corsets were
$50 times the imports.
The 81 per cent tax on these corset
is shown to be wholly unjust by th'
fact that wages in the corset industry
are only 17.3 per cent.
The Fair Tariff League says tina
this corset tax ID because women hav
not known and have not voted.
Are you going to vote for this in
creased tax by voting the Republican
ticket or vote against it by voting tn
! Democratic ticket?

that involved in the wool tax, will
hardly have time to make itself evil
dent at the November election, as the
rates will hardly be in operation be-
fore that time, and consequently the
burdens will not be realized, but fol-
lowing the passage of high tariff bills
in the past the public reaction has
been swift and effective for the time.
But always, after few years, the
beneficiaries of the high tariff, trust
ing to the short memories of the peo-
pie, again come back demanding
more. In the days of Benjamin Har-
rison the Republican Congress passed
the Mckinley bill and was promptly
driven from power. In 1892 Cleve-
land was elected on a pledge to reduce
the tariff; the interests managed to
defeat the will of the people in that
respect and Cleveland was repudiat-
ed. Then followed the Dingley bill
and the Republicans were barely saw
ed from defeat by the coming of the
Spanish War. Then the Payne Aid
rich bill drove them out again. Will
the Smoot bill prove case of history
repeating itself?

The Sugar Conspiracy.
tst. Louis Post-Dispatch.)

tSt. Louis Post-Dispatch.l
There is nothing more shocking in
the whole Fordney- McCumber tariff
scandal than the Herculean labors OF
Senator Reed Smoot of Utah to plum
der the American people for the bene-
fit of the beet sugar growers.
The supreme effrcntery of Smoot
was his attempt, partly by coercion
and partly by bribery, to restrict the
production of Cuban sugar. AS de-
veloped in the New York Worlds in
vestigation. Senator Smoot, through
the kindness of Major General Crow
der acting as messenger boy, made
the proposition to President Zayas of
Cuba that, if Cuba would curtail her
production, lower duty would be
fixed, but if she refused the duty
would be raised. President Zayas re-
fused and Smoot has carried out his
threat. The tariff on Cuban sugar has
been advanced from $1.60 to $1.S4 per
hundred pounds and from $2 to $2.31
on sugar imported from elsewhere.
According to the disclosures, Sena-
tor Smoot had eminent associates in
this grand -larcenous enterprise. An
American with large investments in
Cuban sugar properties is authority
for the statemen that Mr.. Hoover
approved the message to Zayas.
Further. the Secretary of Commerce is
charged with having tried to enlist the
influence OF certain New York banks
in behalf of the beet sugar raid on the
American pocketbook.
1t is argued that Smoot would never
have tried to WELD such an economic
big stick over friendly nelghbor and
protege without administration in
dorsement. The point is plausibly
urged. If true, Senator Smoot will
of course, be fortunate in having SO
distinguished fellow defendant tc
share the public condemnation. Az
for Mr.. Hoover, if it is proved he was
implicated in the scheme, he will bs
out of luck.
| Meantime, waving such obloquy al
may accrue to thesugar conspirators
what of the American consumer? /
is calculated that the Smoot sugal
tariff, if ratified in the conference re
port, win increase the price of suga
. from to IA cents a pound. Th'
financial cost, on the basis of our an
nual consumption of 100000 tons
, will be stupendous, but how can th
4 audacity and enormity of the outrag
be figured?

In an effort to correct objections to
some of the provisions of the present
direct primary system the committee
on Suffrage and Elections of the Con-
stitutional Convention proposes that
the state do away with direct pri-
maries for the nomination of state
and district officers, but elect dele
gates at the primaries, these delegates
to meet in convention and select the
party nominees for office. Our sug-
gestion is that the direct primary for
the nomination OF county officers
shall be optional. The proposition
goes before the Convention, recon-
mended as an alternative amendments.
Ii is not the intention of the commit
tee to derive the people Of the voice
1 in the selection OF officials, but it be-
4 lieves that on statewide elections
delegate conventions will insure the
nomination Of the strongest leaders
for the parties. Instead Of the direct
primary this proposition would pro-
vide for an indirect primary.
