E SEATTLE STAR William the Shepherd | Did you ever take a close look at the wool schedule (RK) the reduction of which Taft vetoed, with the excuse that con gress didn't know what it was about and: wouldn't know until that tariff baard of alleged experts reported Well, this schedule puts an average duty of 97 per cent on clothes and 47 per cent on raw wools, In other words, before a yard of cloth reaches your back, it is more than double in cost through tax on it. This difference between the raw and the manufactured article is what protects the Ameri can manufacturers against the foreign manufacturers, so that the American manufacturers can make you pay high for cl ing.

Y. ‘Times, “to credit the in credulity regarding the inability of the railways to meet the expectations of both investors and unionists.” Not at all. On the contrary, it is very easy to believe that some of the railway corporations cannot pay interest and dividends, and higher wages, too. It is very generally known, or believed, that the undoubted issue will soon lie between payment of dividends on “water” and payment of wages that is, between the interests of speculators in stocks and bonds and the interests of the wage-earners, As, eventt tly, things are very apt to be decided for the wage-earners, it is possible that the next generation will see a lot of conversions to government ownership in high corporation circles. wow, YOUR SANO.
