CHEATING THE CONSUMER

. cause - of deception, and - Prohibitive
Tariff. .'
By ROBERT KENNETH MAC LEA,
Crormerly consulting expert of Ue tariff
board.J
New Tork, Aug. .The prohibitive
tariff, raised upward by the Payne
'Aidxlch law, permits and fosters
wholesale frauds upon ' the American
consumer of cotton goods. '
Lean tban 2 per cent of the cotton
fabrics consumed In tbe United States
comes from abroad, because the pro
tective dntles have been made so high
that Importation Is unprofitable.
Set folly one-third of the cotton
piece goods going oyer retail counters
Is sold as "IMPORTED" or under
names 'Implying a foreign origin.
This deoeption ' is generally perpe
trated upon the oonsumer for the pur
peee ft obtaining- exorbitant prices for
X
da in sat lo good.
The consumer, believing the goods
stre Imported and knowing that tbe
tattiff adds excessively to their 'cost,
pars 60 to 100 per cent more than &
fjfirr price and does sot suspect that be
la ageing cheated.

these- goods, placarded: .

We procured samples of all of them.
There was not one piece of imported
goods in the lot. Investigation proved
that the store -buyer- bad purchased
these Irish dimities from' a Boston
Jobber at 10 cents. a yard wait tit they
were made ,tn '-a New England mill.
Here was r a '.supposed "bargain In
a supposedly 4 "Imported" fabric, on
which tbe retailer was taking a profit
of BO per cent! ."
Thin happens -to be a fabric repre
senting: the highest efficiency in Amer
ican manufacturing.. It la a class of
goods in which we can compete ad
antageoasly with any country In the
world. " The 'tariff board's investiga
tions discovered on sample Mo. 66 an
American cost of production of 7 1-3
cents a yard. In all the mills inves
tigated the ' board's representatives
found that the low' and high costs of
manufacture of this fabric did not
vary half a cent a yard. .
Who Geta the Profit!"
The manufacturer of this American
dimity. -that Is sold as "imported" and
"Irish.' does ' not get ' the excessive
profit. In some Instances the manu
facturer does, but Here be. sella to the
Jobber at 8 cents, taking only a nom
inal manufacturing profit of "two-thirds
cent a yard. ' The jobber sells to the
retailer at JO cents, a 25 per cent mar
gin 'for the Jftaber. i
In Canada, with 25 per cent tariff, a
cotton fabric' costing. 10 cents a, yarrt
would be sold to tbe consumer at 12

tor sometimes at 15 cents If the pattern
happened to be In sped a demand. In
the United States, with its prohibitive
tariff; tbe retail price is always much
higher. The standard price retail is IS
cents for the fabric wholesaled at 10.
But when the tariff is excessive it la
54 per cent on this printed dimity the
dishonest retailer can "get away with"
his deception and double or more tban
double his normal profit by selling the
domestic article as "imported." The
retailer knows that be could not bay
s genuine imported dimity of this
quality from a foreign manufacturer's
agent in New Tork for less than 15
or 16 cents; and the trade would re
tail this at . 25. He compares the do
mestic and foreign fabrics and finds
the AmeriCHD made is, equal in every
respect to the fabric from abroad. So
he says to himself, "Why not sell it as
foreign goods at a price that will make
it attractive?"
Mill Man Pocfcets It.
In some cases the .manufacturer
takes the tariff favor for his own
pocket. Tariff board sample No. 84
illustrates this. No. 34 Is a fancy
white goods used for dress wear. Its
manufacturer, encountered a fair de
maud for this materia during the past
season. Table No. 169 of the tariff
board's report shows a manufacturing'
profit of 90 per cent It costs to manu
facture this cloth 12.16 cents a. yard.
The mill refuses to sell to any one ex
cepting the jobber; and through this
channel the cloth reaches the retailer
at 22 to 25 cents a yard. The retail
er charges the consumer 35 to 89 cents,
according to location and local compe
tition. For comparison take the value of the
fabric on weight. At the manufactur
ing coat of 12.16 oenti 1 yird one
pound of this goode is worth $1.23 -as' it
leaves the mill. When it reaches the
consumer (at 39 cents a yard) the
price haa been boosted to $420 a
pound.
The manufacturing cost of this cloth
In England Is practically the; same as
here, yet the -English manufacturer
sells it for 15.44 cents a yard, the job
ber at 17.26 cents and tbe retailer at 22
cents. ,
Bear, in mind that tha "difference in
cost of production at home and abroad"
fn this class of fabric represented by
sample No. 34 amounts to nothing,
but the Pavne-Aldrfcb tariff on it
equals 55.89 per cent, or 8 cents per.
running yard.- , - Y
Fancy goods of the type of sample
No. 84 aw . products of the LJppitt-Me-Oo!l
class of mills.' The Payne-Aldrtch
bill raised the duty on this cloth from
85 to. 56.89 per cent " Is It any wonder
that Senator Llppitt and Mr. McColl
were'. Interested in - amending the
Payne bill. New Tork Worlds

FOR HOT-
f - y. i
A fancy wash fabric manufactured In New
England for 9 2-3 cents a yard is sold by tbe
manufacturer at 144 cents a manufacturing
profit of 47 per cent; less selling expenses of
5 or. at most 6 per cent The jobber (whole
. sale distributer! adds 3 cents a profit of 22
per cent, less selling expenses. The retailer
adds another 42.8 per cent, and the Americas
housewife gets the cloth at 25 cents cloth that
in England can be' bought retail for 17 cents.
Identical In weave and quality! WHY?
'' Cotton curtain scrim, found In millions of
homes, is made In America at a cost that gives
tbe manufacturer ample profit selling It to the
print works at 6 cents a yard. The print works
sells to the jobber at 10 1-3 cents, although It
finishes the goods at a cost of 1.37 cents. Tbe
jobber adds 20 per cent, laying down the car
tain scrim to tbe department store at 12 cents.
The retail qjj charges the American housewife 19
to 29 can 4. More than likely he advertises It
as "IMPOt tTKD" and sells it for the top price,
because U e tariff is so high that the genuine
imported s.ocds cannot be sold for less. It costs
just as mi ten in England to make this curtain
material, yet the English .retailer sells it -for
15-22 cents." (7 pence) a yard, against 19 to 29

One laxge tablespoonful of white

Place new gloves between the folds

to put on; the damp makes the kid
more pliable.
Cabbage should . never be boiled
longer than -thirty minutes, for when
the time is lengthened, the leaves lose
their tender crispness and become
sort and dark colored. -.
Lamb, if fresh, should be of a bright
red color, with, white fat. It should
be used within three days after kill
lng. It is unwholesome if not thor
oughly cooked.
A good method to save fuel is to
do .many things- with one fire. ' On
washing days there must be of neces
sity a good fire, so cook as much as
possible on that day. . .
Kitchen utensils made of wood may
be kept clean and white by rubbing
with soap and, take warn water to
which is added a-little common soda
or -household ammonia.
After embroidered sheets and pillow

Pudding basins should be well
greased or the puddingr will stock. To
grease a basin, take a bit of dripping
upon a clean paper and rub it all over

Vinegar in which home-made cu
cumber pickles have been preserved
should not be thrown away, but used
In salad dressing. The flavor is de
licious and cannot be grained in any
other way. .
Jfever allow oysters to boil. It de
stroys their flavor and makes them
tough. Be careful that they are heat
ed through. Nothing is. more objec

in hot soup.
When washing a white veil, first
make a, solution ' of white soap; let
the vail simmer in it for-a quarter
of an hour. Squeeze in warm water
and soap until it is clean, then rinse

Flowers will keep very ' fresh over
night if they are excluded from the
air. Wet them thoroughly, put them
in a damp box and cover with wet
raw cotton or. wet newspaper, then
place them in a cool place.
Onions uncooked are much less
etrong in flavor if sliced, then put in
a colander , and boiling water poured
over them. Then plunge them in ice
water and allow them to stand for
half an hour; they will be sweet and
crisp. .
Never wash meats, as in this way
they are robbed of a large proportion
of their- nutriment. ' A steak or roast
freshly cut from the beef is certainly
free from all objectionable matter.
