STORY OF COTTON
IS A THRILLER
^198
A Narrative That Concerns the
jps*' Welfare of Millions.,
SHOWS EVILS OF PROTECTION
Whole People Robbed by a Tariff That
Rich Manufacturer May Benefit—
HU Robert Kenpeth Mac Lea, Consult
^ing Expert of the Tariff Board,
Shows That the American People
Are Mulcted of $88,000,000 a Year.
_____
New York, August.—Did you ever
hear the story of cotton?
It is as thrillimg as a narrative of
adventure. It is .as interesting aB a
novel interesting particularly be
cause it concerns the welfare of mil
lions of people who wear cotton goods.
It is interesting, because it is the
dress of the poor, the universal sub
stitute for wool and silk. It is in
teresting, furthermore, because it is
true.
The story of cotton is the story of a
protective tariff for the benefit of rich
manufacturers at the expense of the
whole people who wear cotton goods.
It ha6 been reasonably calculated
lhat because the cotton tariff is fixed
by the Payne-Aldrlch law the Ameri
can people are paying $88,000,000 more
every year than they should pay for
their cotton goods and that a saving
of this amount could be accomplished
by a reasonable reduction In the pres
ent duties.
The story of cotton is told by an ex
pert, Robert Kenneth MacLea, consult
ing expert of the tariff board, in a se
ries of articles published in the New
Vork World. Mr. MacLea's views are
(he views of a lifelong Republican, a
friend of the protective policy of the
Republican party, but at the same
time an opponent of tariff graft and fa
voritism. To this work Mr. MacLea
has brought a varied experience, cov
ering more than 20 years, In the man
ufacture and marketing of textiles.
He flrBt distinguished himself as an
advocate of honest tariff legislation by
finding the "Jokers" of the Payne-Al
drlch act, when the agents of a few
New England mills were permitted to
write their own rates to suit them
selves. He was chairman of the tar
iff committee of the New York Dry
Goods Merchants' association and in
this capacity conducted a campaign
which attracted the attention of the
newly created tariff board. To accept
the position of consulting expert to
the board he gave up the management
of the domestic business of the New
York firms of R. B. MacLea & Co.
and Converse & Co.
The story of cotton is a companion
piece to the Btory of Schedule K—the
woolen schedule—declared by Presi
dent Taft to be Infamous and indefen
sible.
The findings of the tariff board with
regard to the woolen schedule were
analyzed by Chairman Underwood of
the ways and means committee and
condemned as inaccurate, incomplete
and worthless as an aid to le&islatioi.
When the tariff board'B findings on
the cotton schedule were made public
the World decided to make its own
investigation concerning it, and Mr.
MacLea was selected for that purpose.
The World had the findings of the
board on manufactures of cotton dis
sected from the practical point of
view of business, analyzed In their re
lation to the interest of the consumer
and the facts translated into the lan
guage of the everyday man and
woman.
One hundred cloth samples pur
chased in representative domestic mar
kets were made the basis of the tar
iff board's findings on the cost of
cotton cloth produced In this country.
Mr. MacLea used the same cloth sam
ples as concrete Illustrations of the
workings of the tariff and from these
exposed the very generally perpe
trated fraud of selling American made
goodB as imported, and showed why
the excessive tariff permits and fos
ters this imposition.
Recognizing that the tariff would be
a vital issue of the campaign and that
controversy would center about Presi
dent Taft's "nonpartisan" tariff board
and its work, the World undertook the
investigation of cotton and sought an
swers to the following questions:
Has the work of the tariff board
justified the delay In reducing the tar
iff and giving relief from the high cost
of living?
What have the people gained In the
three years under the Payne-Aldrich
tariff IN RETURN FOR MORE THAN
(5,000,000,000 TAKEN OUTOFTHEIR
POCKETS AND INTO THE POCK
ETS OF PROTECTED PRIVILEGE?
How honestly, Impartially and thor
oughly did the "nonpartisan" tariff
oody undertake its task7
Several months before the cotton re
port was completed Mr. MacLea de
alares that he discovered sinister in
fluences in the tariff board's working
to the favored few in the cotton mM
Industry. Such suppressed informa
tion as Mr. McLea considers to be of
vital importance to the cotton Indus
try and the public has' been presented
In the World. He has also explained
what the mass of figures of the cot
ton report signifies and presented
some of the most important of the
conclusions to be drawn from the re
port, a work which the board saw fit
not to attempt.
The story of cotton, as written by
Mr. Mf"1-"" and published In the
World from time to time, form one
of the most Interesting and important
features of the present campaign.

A Texan and a New Yorker were
one day discussing the relative mer
its of their respective ^climates.
"Down where I live," said the
Texan, "we grew a pumpkin so big
•that when we cut it my wife used
cueshalf of it as a cradle to rock
the baby in."
The New Yorker smiled- "Why,
any dear fellow," he said "that's

right in New York City, three full
grown policen-en were found asleep

For' the purpose of advertising
fishing rods, a shopkeeper hung a
"lfewrge rod outside his shop, with
an artificial fish at the end of it.
.Late one might Perkins, who had
beein dining a bit too well, hap
pened to see the fish. Going cau
tiously to the door, he knocked gen
tly.
"Who's there?" demanded the
shopkeeper from an upper window.
"Sh-h. Don't make a noiss, but
come down as quietly as you can,"
whispered Perkins. Thinking some
thing serious was the matter, the
man dressed and ii:ole downstairs.
"Now, what is it?" he inquired.
"Hist." admonished Perkins. "Pull
in. your line, quick you've got a
bite."
He had been Lo Europe and re
turned, and he was telling a friend
on
the car wihat he had seen, when
a. man with red eyebrows leaned
across the rail and said:
."I beg your pardon, sir, but 1
should like to butt in. You have
been .to Europe?"
"Yes, sir."

worth while to own an I corn
binder, just for the hard labor it saves,
pggpg Swinging a heavy corn knife all day long,
Ct" day after day, is'work which can be done away
with at an actual saving of money. With an
Corn Binder
Deering, McCormick, Milwaukee, Osborne
a forty-acre corn field can be harvested by two
men in seven days. Let that fact sink home.
Compare the cost of corn binder harvesting
with the cost of extra help necessary to get in
your corn by the old back-breaking method.
Besides that saving, if you start to harvest
with an I corn binder when the ears begin
to glaze, the good feeding value is retained
in the stover. If then the whole crop be
hauled to the barn as soon as cured and run
through an I husker and shredder—
Deering, McCormick, or Piano—you have
secured every possible dollar's worth of value
from your corn crop.
You have a supply of nutritious corn stover
stored in the barn for winter feeding in place
of hay. You can bale your hay and make it a
gash crop.
