Principal trickery of the Payne-Aldrich law, is the table: all kinds of cotton goods. If the Republican Senate and Pres- ident Taft will permit the bill to be- come a law, the public will be assur- ed of substantial reductions in prices. The bill is so framed as to be a partic- ular boon to the poor, for the greatest reductions are made on cottons used by the middle classes and. the poor. This feature of.the Democratic bill is in particularly striking contrast to the Payne-Aldrich law, which levies the) lowest rates on the grades of cottons | used by the wealthy arid the highest tax on the cottons used by the poor. The Payne-Aldrich tax of 50.02 per \of manufacture of bologna and sausage may be materially re- duced by, using water and cere- als. Water costs nothing and cereal is cheaper than meat. The result is acheapening of the product and a lowering of the food value. But when water and cereal is used the meat begins to sour. It is to prevent this souring process that the benzoate of soda may be used. Chemists de- clare benzoate is of no eartly use to the manufacturer who puts pure food upon the market.
