felon In the Payne bill which declares
that bituminous coal shall only bo ad
mitted free when Imported from any
country which imposes no tax or duty
on coal imported from tho United
States. The argument presented Is
that this arrangement would permit
tho entry of coal free of duty from
Canada should that country repeal its
Import duty on coal.
In tho event of tho latter case, It is
contended, the American coal dealers
of Pennsylvania and Ohio, who con
trol a largo Canadian market, would
add to their pockets the amount of the
duty repealed by Canada. The British
Columbia coal, which would come in
free of duty, it is said, would compete
with the. great quantity of coal from
the American government's coal lands
in southwestern states, reducing tho
price which the government receives
for this coal.
the increase In duty will put stockings

THE DUTY ON GLOVES
In a letter written 'from New York
and printed in the Omaha World
Herald some light is thrown on the
duty on gloves, 'ihe letter follows:
New York, March 22. To the Editor
of the World-Herald: A statement has
Just been made by a responsible busi
ness man of this city, which raises a
serious question concerning the mo
tives oi tne majority or tho ways and
means committee, in providing in the
Payne tariff bill as reported a surpris
ing increaso of duties on an important
artlclo of general use. If tho facts are
as suggested by tho statement, tho
affair is nothing less than a national
sqandal, and should bo thoroughly in
vestigated and made known to tho peo
ple in all parts of the country.
Tho occasion which brought out this
statement is tho provision in the
Payne bill for a heavy increaso in tho
tariff on gloves, instead of the reduc
tion which was looked for In many
quarters. Gloves, of course, aro a
necessity of civilized life, and are of
especial importanco to women, who
must, even at tho cost of actual pri
vation, provide themselves with the
gloves which stylo and custom call
for, in order to maintain comfort, self
respect, and social standing. Under
the present Dlngley tariff, tho glove
duties are much too high, exceeding
all difference in cost of production
here and abroad, and according to tho
declarations of tho republican plat
form and President Taft, ought to be
reuueea. nut tne Jfayno bill provides
fdr an extraordinary increase in the
duty on gloves used by women and
children of moderate means, so that the
specific duties Imposed, with tho spe
cial cumulative duties compounded
with them, carry tho rates to very
high figures.
As to this proposition, Mr. F. W.
Larom of tho firm of Mills & Gibb,
New York, said, In an interview In the
New York Journal of Commerce nn
March 20: "If is openly charged and
generally believed that the action of
the committee on ways and means in
singling out this particular schedule
for an enormous increase in the rates
.dutyv, yvvi3. Part of a bargain under
which Mr. Littauor agreed to use his
influence with the independent repub
licans who were opposing Speaker
Cannon's re-election, in return for
higher protection to his industry. On
no other grounds can there bo found
an explanation of tho amazing In
crease in tho tariff on theso particular
articles."
Mr. Llttauer referred to Is L. N.
Liittaucr, ono of tho most prominent
glove manufacturers In the country,
who has acquired great wealth in the
uiuusiry, ana was lor a number of
years a member of congress from this
siaie. .tie is Known to have great per
sonal Influenco among congressmen.
But it is intolerable that his Influence,
no matter how serviceable to Speaker
Cannon, should bo permitted to add a
heavy burden to the living expenses
of all our people, In order to fatten an
already prosperous and too much fa
vored industry.
