COST OF LIVING
Will be Increased by the Payne
Tarrlff Bill The
DEMOCRATS CLAIM
The Farmer Would (let No Relief
Should the Rill Re Passed, It Is '
Alleged, While the Standard Oil |
i
Trust and Oilier Trust Interests
Are Looked After.
Washington, March 22.?That the
Payne tariff bill would increase the
cost of living; that it is crude, indefinite,
sectional and prohibitive, and j
that it is an open challenge to a |
trade war with every other nation on
earth, are 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
rxC ...LImK 4 1. - t :m
*?i uir i -< I iniuii >>111111 I 111' 1 i I \ in; 111 I I I
proposes. The countervailing duty
provisions for coffee and petroleum,
the maximum and minimum features,
the Cuban reciprocity clause, the
woolen, glass, agriculturel and sugar
schedules are bitterly attacked.
"There are many changes?for the
most part minor changes," says the
report, "of the Dingiey 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 Dingiey 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 tlie 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 3 0 per
cent, and certainly nobody will claim
that hosiery is a luxury in this day
and generation. In numerous instances
the protection exceeds the
entire labor cost of production."
The report maintains that the tar
in arrangement with the Philippines
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 Deinot
cratlc members of the committee, is
based largely on the cotton schedule.
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 j
nave characterized Republican moth- ,
txls in the past," says the report.
"He gets practically no relief, and
the laborer and producer have great- 1
er burdens imposed upon them. *
Every article of food the laborer 1
must have to live comfortably is (
hon vlltr tnvnd' qujui t Vv? " * !
?V.? ? ?l J KIAVU, tlVII tilU OUlt Ull 111!)
table Is not exempt. This schedule 1
(agricultural products) was evident- 1
ly prepared by the same mind which '
has dominated this bill?a mind cer- '
tainly not unfair to the great trusts. 1
"That the bill is a sectional one J
is shown by the failure of the ma
iority of the committee to lift any <
burden whatever from the shoulders
of the Southern farmer. The grower 1
of cotton must sell his product in
the ojK'n markets of the world. In 1
order, however, to benefit the inanu- 1
facturer 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 the shape of manufactured
goods. Thus he sells in free trade
markets and buys in a protected
market. Not only have these
burdens not been lifted, but additional
ones <Uar? been placed upon him.
By 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 gaze and the tax on it,
already too high, has been greatly
increased. Cotton goods are more
generally used than any other class i
of coods bv the masses of the Arnori- I
can people, and every cent of duty
laid on 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
bill as In the Dlnglcy bill," the report
continues, "and by reason of the
provision In Paragraph 037, popular.

THE LUCKY MEN
FACTORY INSPECTORS ARE APPOINTED
?Y MR. W ATSON.

Well as Organized Labor.
Columbia, March 22.?Commissioner
Watson today named tli? two
factory inspectors provided for in
the recent act of the legislature.
There were over 300 applicants for*)
the johs, telegrams and special dolivory
letters coining in even as late
as this morning.
Mr. S. M. Sloan, one of the appointees,
is a native of Anderson.)

of that institution. He has had a
variety of cotton mill experience,
from the bottom rang up to superintendent.
As he was employed by
the cotton mill association to supervise
employment of labor, he will
naturally he regarded as the cotton
mill owners' representative in the
appointmt nts.
Mr. Alex MeDougall, of Columbia,
the other appointee, lias 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
the State and of the work 1 have
been directed by the General Aslo
undertake." Doth appointees are
now in the employ of the Southern
Railway.
SKCOXl) TltA(?Kl)Y AT GREFR.
Holli Caused by Accident, 1' Is
Claimed by Some.
Spartanburg, March 22.?John
Owinn shot and killed John Tinmmell
at Grec late Sunday afrornoon
at Sloan's store. Gwinn was arrested
immediately after the homicide and
brought to Spartanburg and lodged
:n jail. He clivals that t ; shooting
was unintentional. It seems that
Gwinn and several of his companions
were in Sloan's store late yesterday
afternoon, with the door closed.
. Trammell came to the door and
gave several raps, and Gwinn, according
to his statement, seized one
of the pistols that were said to he
on the counter and, aiming it at
the door, pulled the trigger, thinking
that the weapon was unloaded.
The pistol was discharged and Trammell
fell dead, with a bullet in his
breast. The coroner's jury returned
a verdict that tlie deceased came to
his death from a pistol ball wound
in the hands of John Gwinn.
This is the second tragedy at Greer
within tlie week. A few days ago
Perry Leister was accidentally shot
and killed by Sam James.
SPARTANRCRG GROWING.
Postofflce Will be Placed in the First
Class.
Spartanburg, March 2 2.?The
Spartanburg postotlicc will be placed
in the list of first-class ofliccs by the
Postmaster General within the next
few days the receipts of the oflice for
the year having exceeded the $10,000
requirement. There aro now
3nly four first-class offices in the
State, Spartanburg being one of
them. The fact that this city is to (
be in the list of first-class offices will
increase tho interest of the twenty
>r more candidates who want to be
postmaster to succeed Col. S. T.
Pntninr
to bo protected by a tariff duty of
99 per cent, which enables it to
dominate and exploit the American
market and to levy trouble upon
the public, thereby piling up millions
of dollars of ill-gotten gains."
The report further contends that
a similar "joker" in the paragraph
providing for the free entry of coffee
places a duty on coffee equal to the
export duty imposed by the country
from which it is imported, and that
the consumer must pay both, the export
duty of the other country and
the import duty of the United States.
The tax on tea is also attacked, the
claim being made that the $7,000,000
which it is proposed to raise by
imposing a duty on tea, represents
living will be increased by this tax.
the amount by which the cost of
firiticism is made of the metal
schedule, and It is contended that
hides having been placed on the free
list, the duty on leather, shoes, harness
and other leather manufactures
should also bo removed.
Referring to the reduction of 5-100
of a cent in the duty on refined sugar
provided by the Payne bill, the report
declares:
"Theoretically the trust receives a
blow 'between the eyes.' Really this
infinitesimal reduction of the Dingley
rate will not reduce the price of refined
sugar?a prime necessity of
life?to the consumer in any degree
I whatsoever. Certainly that reducI
lion may ho properly denominated
as a sham."

Treated Him While They
itud lilin.
Cleveland, Ohio, March 22.?Fully
2,000 gathered iu the hallways
and lobbies of the hotel when it
became known that Willie Whitla
had been surrendered to his father
at the llollenden Hotel this evening
as related in another column. Those ,
who were unable to got into the )
hotel stood on the sidewalk and ,
shouted for a glimpse of the hoy. !
Again and again they called him by J
name and implored his father to j
bring him out and let them look
at him. Whitla acquiesced to the
request of the crowd, and carrying
the hoy on his shoulder, walked down i
into tho lobby. Mounting a raised
platform in tho centre of the lobby,
Whit la gave every one a chance to
see both father and son.
Cries of "speech," caused Wliitla
to say a few words as follows:
"This is my son. lie was lost and
is 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 hoy and in extending
their sympathy to nie 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 bov related bis stnrv
to liis father ami the newspaper men,
as follows:
"A man, tall and with a black
mustache, came to the school liou e.
Thursday and told my school teach
or, Mrs. Anna Lewis, that you wanted
me at your otUce. I went out to
a huggy 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 went from Sharon to War- 1
ren. The man, who was the same
one who brought me to the car line
tonight, was nice to me. He tucked
the robe about my legs. Gee, lie 1
was good.
"When he got to a place the man 1
said was Warren, the man left the
buggy in the road. Then we got on 1
what I think was an electric car. I
was sleepy when we got on the car. 1
"When we got to a town that the '
man called New Castle they took me
to a big building and turned me over
to a woman. She was good to me.
The hospital, or whatever the building
was, was a clean place. There ?
was a man there who I think was a
doctor. He looked like a doctor, because
ho had short, merry whiskers.
"The people in the hospital told i
me that I must do just what they (
told me to do. If I did not obey them t
they said they would take me to a i
place called the post house, where i
folks that have smallpox have to go. ^
I walked the chalk just like a good i
hoy, papa, like you've told me to 1
do.
"On Saturday night I was taken
away from tlio hospital, and I think
wo wont to a town called Ashtabula. ?.
We traveled in a buggy and on foot, i
Rarly in the morning we wont hack |
to the hospital. I hoard one of the ]
men say: 'There will be nothing \
