Fruit for Fair.
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.
