Anyone having fruit, canned or in its native .-state, for the Box Butte County Fair, should notify Mrs. I. E. Tash, Superintendent of the Fruit De partment, at 510 Box Butte Avenue, Washington Letter. nV TAVKNNKK Washington, August 27. President Taft is advising republican candidates, for congress to promise tho .people further tariff revision, schedule by schedule, the basis of the revision to be equalization of the labor cost of production at home aud abroad plus a reasonable profit for American manu facturers. The platform on which Mr. Taft was elected, it is recalled, also prom ised to equalize "the cost of produc tion at home and abroad", plus the reasonable profit. Before considering new promises, many voters will ask: Was' the first promise kept? Let us see: Taking woolens to begin with, Presi dent Taft himself admits failure. What about cottons? Was the cotton schedule revised on the basis of equal! aation of "the difference iu the cost of production at home and abroad"? Platform Promise Ignored. The labor cost in the production of cotton manufactures in the United States is 26 per cent. (From report of Carroll D. Wright, U. S. Commission er of Labor, Vol. 10.) Granting that foreign goods have no labor cost whatever, 26 percent would, therefore, have been the maximum aver age rate required to equalize the labor cost of production at home and abroad. If the labor cost abroad is one-half the labor cost at home, the rate of tariff required to prevent the foreign manu facturer from having the advantage of cheaper labor would be 26 per cent, the American cost, less 13 per cent, the European cost, or 13 per cent. In stead of an equalizing duty of any sort, the Aldricli crowd protected cotton manufacturers with a duty of from 35 per cent on handkerchiefs to 74 per cent on cotton cloths. The following table, compiled for the writer by Prof. Josiah H. Shinu from the Special Census Reports for Manufactures, 1907. shows in a strik ing manner the failure of the Republi cans to revise the tariff ou the basis of equalization at home and abroad: Article Labor cost Tariff rate (per cent.) (per cent.) Ammunition 20 57 Automobiles 23 45 Rubber boots 12 30 Carpets 22 50 to 75 Chemicals 14 35 to 241 Men's clothing 16 37 to 134 Women's " 26 35 to 155 Coffins 20 35 to 60 Gloves 21 57 Wool hats 25 25 to 86 Stockings 23 36 to 76 Paints 7.3 25 to S3 Salt, bulk 21 go Soap and candles 7 iS to 34 Stationery iG 25to 138 Structural iron 21 3G Women's dress goods 14 70 to 155 Blankets 14 71 to 1G5 Downward Revision Promised. Promise of tariff revision on the bas is of equalization of cost of production at home and abroad plus a reasonable profit was equal to a promise of a big revision downward. Mr. Taft, however, affixed his signa ture to a tariff bill which revised the existing tariff upward at an average of approximately 1.71 percent. Because of the failure of the president to make his promise good, 90,000,000 people are forced to staud a further increase 11 the cost of living.
