THE DinTM CATTLE
Why Free Hides Have Not Made
Shoes Cheaper
PUT MEAT ON FREE LIST
All Threo Industries Aro Related, and
Reductions Should Be Made on All
The Reason Why English Footwerr
Is Being Imported.
Now that the remofti of the dutj
on hides has nm in 4m the expected
relief to tin ni.unier, since the price
of shoes Is ilsing and not falling, the'
protectionists aro gleefully shouting,
"I told you so!" Senntor Lodge, the
man who Is to make an Impartial in
vcstlgatlon of the high cost of living,
argued Jauntily the other day In the
senate that because the removal of
the duty on hides has not made hides
any cheaper the removal of the duty
on beef would not make beef any
cheaper.
On tho contrary, it would seem that
the failure of free hides to afford re
lief Is one of the very best rensous
for taking tho duty off meat and oft
cnttle too. The removal of the 15 per
cent duty on hides was accompanied
by a large Increase in the Importation
of that article, but prices did not com
down because of the Increasing de
mand for leather for automobiles nnd
other uses besides shoes and because
of the Influence of the packers, who
control the supply of bides as well as
of meat, and also because of tho grow
ing scarcity of cattle, both actually
and relatively to population. These
jiuuili;uv.i;i uuiv. u, ku IUL nuuii
been suincient to onset the advantage
conferred by tnklng off this duty.
But how does the tariff on cattle and
meat affect the price of hides? Just
this way: Cattle are reared for their
meat, and there never will be more
American hides in the market than
there are cnttle which were reared for
their meat. This country Is and has
been n great exporter of meat, but It
may be that, owing to tho exhaustion
of the cheaper lands out west on
which our cattle are mainly raised, we
shall be compelled to rely upon Can
ada. .Mexico and the Argeutlne for a
portion of our meat supply. There Is
n duty of 27 per cent upon live cnttle
Take off that duty, and cattle would
be Imported when necessary and meat
would be cheaper and hides would nec
essarily become cheaper too.
The reduction of the duty has, how
ever, brought oue curious result. Some
kinds of shoes are beginning to be Im
ported here from Euglnnd to relieve
the present blgh prices. The duty on
shoes, which had been '25 per cent, was
reduced to 10 per cent when the duty
on bides wan taken off. It Is strange.
Indeed, to think t but England should
be sending shoes here when we are
such large exporters of shoes. But by
encour.iging luternntloual trade we al
ways tnne 11 safeguard aglnst domes

WHEN THE PRICE WOULD APPEAR ATTRACTIVE THE QUALITY,
PERHAPS, HAS BEEN SACRIFICED
There is no risk taken when you buy a CHICKERING SON (Boston), IVERS & POND, PACKARD, KURTZMANN, STERLING, KOHLER
& CAMPBELL, HARVARD, HUNTINGTON, besides a number of less expensive Pianos that may be seen on our floors and are regarded as leaders
in their respective grades. YEARS FROM NOW you would regard the price of the Piano you purchased now as small if then you FOUND that you
had in your home a Piano that had proven satisfactory. Time alone will demonstrate the musical value of a good Piano and the honor of the house that sells
,Our aim has always been to sell the class of Pianos that would secure for us the confidence and esteem of the public. No Piano concern can produce a better asset
than a satisfied community of buyers, and we are in Alliance, to stay. Call and see us in our new quarters, Brennan's old drug store, opposite postoffice
