WASITINGTON, April 16.—'What di- feet benefit ts the average citizen of New York to get out of this sew te ur ‘The question was put by The Eve ming World to Congressman Thomas G. Patten of New York City in the lobby the House while his fellow-Demo- @ratic members were animatedly de- Bating the echedules in caucus. Before en wer could be given, Congressman James L. Slayden of Ban Antonio, Tex., Bpproached wita this exclamation: ‘ou New Yorkers ought to be con- feat, You always get the best of ev- erything.” “How's that?", “Why, this tariff bill gives everything eheaper to the consumer,” replied the ‘Texan, “and you New Yorkers are the Biggest consumers in the country.” ‘It is true ti!

As I geo it, the reason {a this: “In eounting the benefits of lower tariffs we can deal only with large units on population, not with the individual, be- cause the percentage of reductions of duty, figured in dollars and cents, Is so gmall when applied to the quantity of ‘any specified article used by one indi- widual consumer, A fraction of @ cent oe (Continued on Gecond Page.)
