there are two rival companies buying

This ls a petty price for fish that are

cents a pound. Those who own valuable

"Just wait till the coast railroad

he could buy .foreign hides without
the payment of the 15 per cent duty,
he would have soma chance to compete
witn the packer tanners and the price
of leather would be more likely to be
reasonable. There Is, however, no cer
tainty of fair and reasonable prices
for leather unless both hides and lea
ther are put on the free list The beef
packers' monopoly has already gone so
far that It ls only a. question of a very
short time when free hides, without
free leather, would be of little or tio
avail to shoe manufacturers and other
users of leather.
By ownership and control, through
community of interest, and by tanning
contracts, the beef packers' trust has al
ready become so dominant ln the sole
leather tanning business that It isdlf
flcnlt to locate Independent tanneries.
More than 30 tanneries are now said to
be under Armour, Swift, Morris con
trol. To a less extent, the beef pack
ers" trust Is also connected with the
tanning of upper leather.

American people, want to continue to
wear the beet and cheapest shoes on
earth, they must see that their sen
ators and representatives vote for free
hides and free leather. There i no
other road to cheap footwear.
About all that we can hop to get
from the present congress is fre hides
and reduced duties on leather. Why
congress hesitates to give us free hides
I cannot understand, unless our sena
tors and representatives - have ceased
to think of the welfare of Our 87,000,000
of consumers and ara concerned 4nly
about the few producers who constitute"
our great trusts. . The facts and argu
ments ara all against taxed hides. There
1 no sound reason, under any theory
of protection, for continuing the bur
densome and monoply producing duty
on hides. Not only does the duty not
protect the cattle raisers, but, if it did,
there are so few of them, comparative
ly, that they should not be permitted to
dictate the prices of hides, leather and
shoes to ell our citizens.
According to the census of 1890 there
were 87,629 stock raisers and 6,483,618
farmers In this country. That is, the
stock raisers constitute less than 1 per
Cent of our farming population and only
about one fifth of 1 per cent of our
Total population. Thus, assuming that
the stock raisers ara protected by the
duty on hides, we see that for each
stock raiser thus protected 500 con
sumera must pay higher prices for
ahoes. This ratio Is not a proper one,
even from the standpoint of a protec
tionist. But even this is much too
high, according to Boyd's City Dispatch
This great agency for circular adver
tising said, on May 13, that It could
find only 22,000 names of persons who
can fairly be called stock and cattle
raisers. On the assumption that the
cattle raiser ls protected, then. 800 con
sumers of shoes are being taxed tor the
benefit of one stock raiser.
As our grazing lands are growing less
and Jess each year and ae we now have
to Import one third of the hides con
sumed, we must either Increase the
taxes on the masses for the benefit of
an almost Insignificant few or see this
few decline. No civilized country can
raise enough cattle to furnish hides and
leather for domestic use. Adequate
grazing lands do not exist tn highly pop
ulated and civilised countries. . A tax
on hides ln this country, therefore, ne
cessarily means a tax on footwear for
87,000,000 of people. It can never mean
anything else,
'It is a mistake, however, to assume
that the cattle raisers benefit appre
ciably by the duty on hides. Both the
facts and the loglo of conditions are
against such an assumption

"The prices of hides are often hlah.i
wnen tne prices or cattle are low, and
often low when the prices of cattle are
high.
"In ISO 5 and 1906 hides were selling
above 16 cents when cattle were below
6 cents, while in 1902 hides were sell
ing at . IS cents when cattle Were sell
ing at 8 cents. In 1908 hides were
selling at 16 cents, when cattle were
selling-; at 6.85 cents, while In 1908
hides - wers selling at 9 ' cents, when
cattle were selling at 7 cents. From
April, 1908, to April, 1909, the price of
cattle declined 2 per cept while the
price of hides advanced 47 per cent.
From February, 1906, . to April, 1909, the"-
price of cattle advanced "6 per cent

"The cattle raisers get nothing, or
next to notning, rrom tne u ties on
hides and leather. They are, however,
by these duties, compelled to pay mate
rially higher prices for shoes, harness,
saddles and other leather goods.
"In view of all the facts, there Is no
sound reason for retaining the duty on
hides ln order to protect cattle raisers
or farmers. There. Is sound reason in
favor of free hides In order to provide
as cheap raw materials as possible to
the tanning and shoe manufacturing In
dustrie, both of which are of great im-i
portance to all of our people. If the
duty on hides Is retained, it will be re
tained at tha behest of the beef trust
and for ths purpose of enabling; It to
hold and extend Its already great and
harmful monopoly. Con gress will not
do its. duty to our 87,00u,000 of shoe
wearing people unless Jit repeals tho
duty on hides. v In my opinion. It should
also put leather on t je free list.
'In conclusion I wish to say that I
hold somewhat different opinions from
those held by soma other shoe manu
facturers. I am not afraid of free shoes
If I can have free hides and free leather.
I would gladly swap any doubtful bene
fit from tha duty on shoes for tha cer
tain benefits of free bides and leather.",
What Women Did.

men are in any enterprise. That they

in any association is noticeably lacking

And yet the rose show; which is
