? 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

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.

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."

Whitla left Sharon for Cleveland. '

he s|>oiled the plans of his son's ca

lad again.
About 2 o'clock this afternoon 1
went to a candy store in the En
End. With him he carried the $1<

manded of him there.. He was m
by a woman, who detailed to him t
terms of the kidnappers. With i
the eagerness of a distracted pare
Whitla agreed to them Immediate]

As he waited in the hotel lob

"In heavens name. men. do not s

"I expect the boy will be back 1

In the meantime little Willie w

this time does not realize what dar

candy store had done her duty. S
communicated with the captors
the boy and told them that, the fal

unknown hiding place to a car li
in the east end of the city.
A few rods from the car line t
man stopped the boy,. Pulling a pi
of smoked glasses from his pock
he adjusted them to the lad's he
with the remark: "You'll look b
ter in these." The sides of the bla
yarn cap were pulled carefully ov
the boy's ears. A slip, which Wil
was to hand to the conductor, w

This delighted Willie. Tie swui

Presently Edward Mahoney, ag<
