Entered at the postofflee at Deca tur, Indiana, as second class matter THE TARIFF ON YOUR SHOES:— Representative Harry B. Hawes o! Missouri made one of the ablest speeches yet delivered on the tariff; he took as his particular text the tar iff on hides and showed that while it would put sixteen millions revenue ir the Treasury, it would cost the people in the additional prices charged fo’ articles made of leather, many hun dreds of millions. He estimated tha on shoes alone it would add an aver age of forty cents to each of 330,000, 000 pairs or $132,000,000. The shot tax on the people of his State alone would amount to more than four mil lions per year.

Thei he quoted the American Farm Bureau Federation, as follows: “Cattle hides are a by-product of th< production of animals for meat oi dairy purposes in the United States Animals are not produced for theii hides alone, and the variation in th< price of the hide has little influcncon the rate of cattle production. "Most of the hides produced in th< United States are sold by the luodin er on the animal, and not as hides bu' as a part of an animal, the price beinf largely determined by the value o' the moat on the animal. The hide' taken off by packers comprise roughly two thirds of the domestic supply, am' hides sold by catte producers amount to a very small part of the total. "Since two thirds of the domestic hides are taken off hy packers, am they also control about one third o’ the tanning business, they are ’n a po sition to be a dominant factor in the hide and leather market. At any giv en time they have a large part of the stock of hides under their control am are in a position to sell or withhoh them from the markets as they choose "Cattle production needs slimula lion, but tho increased return from 1t per cent on G 1-2 per cent of the weight of the animal is so small as to be of no importance as a means of increas
