High Dirties Oil Buttons.
The button manufacturers, present
and pTospccrive, are unusually greedy
In their demands for tariff duties. McKiuley
duties are entirely too slow for
the button infants. The following is
part of a statement made by button importers:

goods used by the poorer and middle
classes, and also to manufacturers of
various garments used by the mass of
our people, such as low priced shirts,
underwear, clothing, eta The following
data will give some idea of the inequalities
of the proposed duties:

McKinlcy bill, 2a per cent; proposed
duty of one-twelfth of 1 cent per line

that make up the great bulk of the importations.

These buttons are not made hero, nor
are they likely to be made. First, because
little cr noue of the raw material
required has tjeen found here; second,
because the total sales being limited to
this country would not warrant the
investment of the uecossary capital in a
plant needed to make the various style?
wanted. It isevidcut that the intention
is to exclude these goods in tho interest
of some biphercost goods. The proposed
duty would be a real hardship aud bear
heavily on the class of people who buy
"china buttons," as well as on the
manufacturers of cheap 6hirts, underwear,
etc.

ROMANCE VERSUS REALITY.
THESE SENATORS TOSED KOI! A GREAT HISTORICAL
I'lcrUKE?
- in ftS .
BUT TIIET DII)X"%KXOW IT WAS A liOKXTGEX*
fAMKUA.
Now England is much concerned
aKnnt frr>o hiflpR Somfi of hfif bipPPSt
industries, especially that of boots and
shoes, havo been built up during our
quarter of a century of free hides. She
now sells boots and shoes in all parts of
the world. Taxed hides would cripple
this and other industries. Her leading
senators pretend to rcpreseut her and to
.put up a fight for free hides. In reality
they will, if necessary, sacrifice free
hides to obtain high duties on sugar
with plenty of margin for trust profits.
Just why this is so should be a
matter for senatorial investigation, if
such investigation would only investigat'.
Fortunately for the Sugar trust, ,
but unfortunately for the rest of us
70,000,000 people, the Sugar trust understands
well the art of making friends
where they will do the most good. It
has able attorneys to advise it bow to
distribute its sweets to politicians and
lawmakors and at the same time to
steer clear of jails.
In this way and in this way only can
we account for the uttitude of not a few
prominent tariff makers at Washington.
The situation is interesting?decidedly
so.
Price* of Linen* Go Up.
When the tariff bill was about to be
framed, tbe Republican leaders stated*
that tbey desired to be moderate, aud to
avoid anything like excessive rates. Air.
Aldricb, when introducing tbe amended
measure into the senate, claimed that
bis rates were generally lower than
those of tbe bouse bill. Tbe linen
schedule, however, i? a notable one of
many exceptions.' In it tbe senate rates
are higher than those of the boose and
mncb higher than anything ever before
known.
Under the McKinlcy bill of 1800 linens
were assessed 86 per cent, with a<
few exceptions us high as 50 per cent
ad valorem. . Under the rates proposed
by the senate a large proportion of thegocjls
in everyday use will be assessed
from 65 to 85 per cent; and in Borne I
cases over 100 per oent. The follcwing I
table shows some of the changes in the'
cost of medium and- low grade linens:
Price per yard.
New duty Pm?- New
percent ?nt- bill. ,
Damask tablecloth ltO 2Do STJic
Oash for roller t owels 52% H 0%
Colored canvas for dress linings
00 8% 10%.
Clothing linens 90 10 22%
Linen for batchers' aprons. 03 10% 22%
The domestia mauufacturers in whose'
interests these changes are supposed to
bo made have stated that they do not
deserve over 60 per cent dnty on linengoods,
and one of the principal manufacturers
of linen and cottou handkerchiefs
in America (of Acheson, Harden
& Co., Passaic, N. J.) states that be does
not desire any advanco of duty on his
goods.
The gross' injustice of these duties
can be appreciated when it is remembered
that, owing to climatio conditions,
good fiber flax caunot be grown
or linen manufactured successfully in
this country, and when It is further remembered
that the kind of linen taxed I

"A .'Ueonse to Steal/*
That mast have been embarrassing'
information to the United States senate
which Statistician Carroll D. Wright furnished
that body last week concerning
the labor cost of lumber in this country
and in Canada. His figures showed that,
while the average wages in Canadian
sawmills is $1.41 and $1.71 per day
here, the average labor cost of 1,000
feet of lumber is $1.28 in . Canada and
only 01 cents here. The decreased cost
of prodtction in this country is attributed
to the superior machinery used.
Of course the figures prove the free
trade contention that the rate of wages
paid does not indic^tf- the cost of production?that
low wages are ver.;.- often
more expensive to employers, and vice
versa. But these hard facts furnished
by an officer of the government will not
dissnade the lumber barms from tbeir
purpose to get a tariff on Canadian lumber
so that they can the more effectually
rob American consumers. Protectionists
care nothing for facts. What tbey want
is a license to steal. -?National Single
