| COST OF LIVING ? mmmmmmmmmmmmmrnrn Will be Increased by the Payne Tarriff Bill The DEMOCRATS CLAIM Tho Farmer Would Get No Relief Bhould the Bill Be Passed, It Is Alleged, While the Standard Oil Trust and Other Trust Interests Are Looked After. , . Washington, March 22.?That the Payne tariff bill would Increase the cost or living; tnat It is crude, indefinite, sectional and prohibitive, and that it is an open challenge to a trade war with every other nation on earth, afe some of the criticisms of that measure made by the Democratic members of the ways and means committee In the minority report submitted to the House by Minority Leader Champ Clark today. The report is a severe arraignment of ths revision which the Payne bill proposes. The countervailing duty provisions for coffee and petroleum, the maximum and minimum features, the Cuban reciprocity clause, the woolen, glass, ngriculturel and sugar schedules are bitteYly attacked. "There are many changes?for the most part minor changes," says the report, "of the Dingley rates, some up and some down. Most of the changes in a downward direction are reductions more apparent than real, the Payne rates being as prohibitive in their results in many cases as the Dingley rates." Declaring that a tariff is a tax paid by the consumer, and that the only function of a tariff law is to raise revenue to supply the needs of the Government, the minority members of the committee Insist that instead of an increase of taxes or a new Issue of bonds, the correct remedy for the growing deficiency in the revenue is the cutting down of the* expenses of running the Government. "The bill Is In many respects crude, indefinite, sectional and prohibitive. It seems to us from our examination, which was necessarily hasty, that on the whole it increases the cost of living. For example, it will increase the price of hosiery about 30 per cent, and certainly nobody will claim that hosiery is a luxury in this day and generation. In numerous instances the protection exceeds th< entire labor cost of production." The report maintains that the tariff arrangement with the Philippine? should be considered in a separate measure and not in the general tariff bill. The claim that the bill is a sectional one, made by the Democratic members of the committee, is bnsed largely on tho cotton schedufe. The report contends that the bill does not lift any burdens from the shoulders of the Southern farmer, although the manufacturer of cotton goods is protected by heavy tax, it claims. "The treatment of the farmer by this bill is along the same lines as have characterized Republican methods in the past," says the report.. "lie gets practically no relief, and the laborer and producer have greater burdens imposed upon them. Every article of food the lal>orer must have to live comfortably h heavily taxed; even the salt on his table is not exempt. This schedule (agricultural products) was evidently prepared by the same mind which 1??? J* it-i ?? % - .mr> uimimiihii'u mis urn?a mind certainly not unfair to the great trusts. "That the bill is a sectional one is shown by the failure of the niatorlty of the committee to lift any burden whatever from the shoulders of the Southern farmer. The grower of cotton must sell his product in the open markets of the world. In order, however, to benefit the manufacturer of cotton the Republican party makes him pay a.heavy tax on every pound of it that is exported and comes back into the United States in fhe shape of manufactured goods. Thus ho sells in free trade markets and buys in a protected market. Not only have these burdenB not been lifted, but additional ones have been placed upon him. Ily an lately discovered process, a fabric known as 'mercerized fabrics" is now being made. This is a very much like silk, and is largely worn. In order to further enrich the manufacturer and to further tax the masses of the people a tax has been laid on these goods. "Cotton hose has fallen under their greedy gazo and the tax on it, already too high, has been greatly Increased. Cotton goods are more generally used than any other class of goods by the masses of the American people, and every cent of duty laid oif such fabrics is an additional tax on the people least able to pay * it. "The Standard Oil Company is as < handsomely cared for In the Payne * hill as In the Dingley bill." tho re- I port continues, "and by reason of the 1 provision in Paragrnph fi37, popular- ' ly known as the 'Joker,' continues to be protected by a tariff duty of * 99 per cent., which enables it to I dominate and exploit the American I market and to levy trouble upon t the public, thereby piling up millions s Of dollars of ill-gotten gains." The report further contends that c a similar "Joker" in the paragraph I providing for the free entry of coffee I places a duty on coffee equal to the export duty Imposed by the country t from which it is imported, and that I the consumer must pay both, the ex- r port duty of tho other country and f the import duty of the United States. 1: The tax on tea is also attacked, tho v claim boing made that tho $7,000.- t 000 which it Is proposed to raise by a THE LUCKY MEN ? FACTORY INSPECTORS ARE AP- 1 POINTED BY MR. WATSON. In Selecting Men He Desired to Recognise Clemson's Textile School m Well as Organised Labor. Columbia, March 22.?Commis- 1 sloner Watson today named the two factory Inspectors provided for in 1 the recent act of the legislature. There were over 300 applicants for 1 the jobs, telegrams and special delivery letters coming in even as late as this morning. Mr. S. M. Sloan, one of the ap pointees, is a native of Anderson, but now living in Greenville. He is a Clemson graduate of 190b and Is the son of Treasurer P. H. E. Sloan of that Institution. He has had a variety of cotton mill experience, from the bottom rung tfp to superintendent. As he was employed by the cotton mill association to supervise employment of labor, he will naturally be regarded as the cotton mill owners' representative in the > appointments. Mr. Alex McDougall, of Columbia, the other appointee, has for ten years or more been a conservative representative of organized labor in this city, and is looked upon as a valuable and capable young man. "In the making of these appointments," said Commissioner Watson, "there has been but one thing for me to consider?the best interest of thd State and of the work 1 have been directed by the General Asto undertake." Roth appointees are now in the employ of the Southern Railway. COWARDLY ASSASSIN Shoots and Kills a Man Through a Store Window. Wilmington, N. C., March 23.?

I a -A % # HOW THEY GOT HIM rHE LAD TELLS HOW HE WAS STOLEN And Carried Off, andJtfow the Kidnappers Treated Him While They Had Him. Cleveland, Ohio, March 22.?Fatly 2,000 gathered in the hallways and lobbies of the hotel when it became known that Willie W'hitla ha/I J ? ? ? * * * ucu iscou Dunouut'rea to nis rather at the Hollenden Hotel this evening as related In another column. Those who were unable to get into the hotel stood on the sidewalk and shouted for a glimpse of the boy. Again and again they called him by name ahd implored his father to bring him out and let them look at hiin. Whitla acquiesced to the request of the crowd, and carrying the boy on his shoulder, walked down into the lobby. Mounting a raised platform in the centre of the lobby, Whitla gave every one a chance to see both father and son. Cries of "speech," caused Whitla to say a few words as follows: "This i3 my son. He was lost and ^s found again. If I live a thousand years, I never can do*enough to repay the press, the police and the people who all have done noble work in helping to find my boy and in extending their sympathy to me and my family and relatives." The father then sought to induce the child to say a few words in response to the crowds demand, but frightened, Willie began to cry, so the assemblage cheered him again and desisted in its efforts to make him speak. Later the boy related his story to his father and the newspaper men, as follows: "A man, tall and with a blark mustache, came to the school hou e. Thursday and told my school teacher, Mrs. Anna Lewis, that you wanted me at your office. I went out to a buggy with him. On the way down town, he asked me to address a letter to you. I did this, and then dropped it into a small box. He was awfully kind. "We wont from Sharon to Warren. The man, who was the samt one who brought me to the car line tonight, was nice to me. He tucked the robe about my legs. Gee, ht was good. "When he got to a place the mar said was Warren, the man left the buggy In the road. Then we got or what I think was an electric car. 1 was sleepy when we got on the car "When we got to a town that th< man called New Castle they took m? to a big building and turned me ovei to a woman. She was good to me The hospital, or whntever the build ing was, was a -clean place. Then was a man there who I think was f doctor. He looked like a doctor, because he had short, merry whiskers "The people in the hospital tolt me that I must do Just what thej told me to do. If I did not obey then they snid they would take me to i place called the pest house, when folks that have smallpox have to go I walked the chalk Just like a gooc boy, papa, like you've .told me t< do. . "On Saturday night I was taker away from the hospital, and I thlnl we went to a town called Ashtabula We traveled in a buggy and on foot Early in the morning we went bad to the hospital. I heard one of the men say: 'There will be nothing doing tonight, I guess.' "They told me I h'as taking i little vacation. I was not going tc be hurt, they told me. so I Just acted uice and hnd a good time playing around the hospital. I knew I would get back home nil right, and Just supposed 'Mr. Jones' was one of my father's friends, who was treating me nice because yob wanted him to treat me that way, papa, dear."
