GEORGE H. VOIGT If Elected to Congress will Vote FOB FREE HIDES
Conaressman W, B. Cox Voted
For a Tariff on Hides.
Read What William J. Bryan and
W. If Douglas Say.
TFIK CONGRESSIONAL RACE AND TARIFF ON HIDES. George II. Voigt, if tlected to Congress, will vote for free hides.
Congressman W. E. Cox voted for a tariff on bides. The following articles by William J. Bryan and W. L. Douglas, the shoe.nianu facturer, are of interest to every voter. Editorial of William J. Bryan, in the '"Commoner'' of Juu 18, 1909.
On another page will be found a Btntement by ex-Governor William L. Douglas, one of the leading shoe manufacturers of the country. Those who voted tor a tariff on hides must be prepared to meet the arguments presented by Mr. Douglas. The tariff on hides not onlv taies a raw ma
terial used in one of the most important industries of the country, but it helps to strengthen the hold of the leather trust on that industry. Whatever one mav think
of free raw material, as an abstract proposition, he must be verv much wedded to his theorv
to insist upon applying it in a case where the trust is taking advantage of it and using it not ;nly to levy a tribute upon the whole American people, but to handicap our shoe manufacturers in their effort to build up an exjwrt trade. Those Democrats who voted for a tariff on hides on the theory that it distributes protection ought.to remeinbertbat a majority of their ronptituents get no benefit whatever fiom a tariff on hides, but bae to pay an increased tax on shoes because of the tariff en hides, while anydirect benefit received by the minority of their constituents through a tariff on hides is overcome by the burdens that aro placed upon their constituents because of the protective tariff.
be reasonable. Thpre is, however,
no certainty of fair aid reasonnhle nriees for leather unless both
hides and leather are put on the
free list. The beef nackers'
j monopoly has already gone so far
that it is only a question 01 u very short time when free hides, without free leather, would be of little or no avail to shoe manufacturers and other users of leath
er.
i, Extracts from the Article of W. L. Douglas.) The boot and shoe manufacliters of this country are facing i trisia even greater than many of them realize. Under present conditions, that is, with present duties on hides and leather, it does not take a prophet to foretell in a general -way what will happen. The logic of tariff events has already proceeded far enough to indicate clearly the goal toward which we are rapidly traveling. This is no less than a gigantic trust controlling the beef packing, leather tanning and shoe manufacturing industries of this country. This trust will, of course, he built around the present beet trust. v
Such a trust is inoritnhlo' nrn.
vidiug the present duty of 15 per
v-eut remains on tildes. The advantage civen bv thin
beef trust, as the original owner rf ur.i ....
- i ijiucm, is ho great tnat come tltion with it will he hopeless n
oon ns it can establish itself in
nie leather tanning and shoe man Mfacnring industries. Under the inononoliKtiV tnrt
rncc of the turiff on hides, the beef
pucKers- trust has already made
j. wuway. it now controls directly about f5 per cent of the
-niues or mi country. Indirectly it is reasonably certain that ft controls a large Dart of th ar
per cent of hides which it dor pot take off of cattle. To mako its monopoly of the raw material of leather utill more complete, it lias recently gone into the hide hltfinrt Vi n 7 . mi
...6 uuamra. xnus, the independent tanner ig left with only very restricted Bupplv of raw riBterial. If ae could buy foreign lifcs without the payment of the l per cent duty, he would have packer tanners and the ngfce of leather would be more l5y to
By ownership and control, throuch community of interest,
and by tanning contracts, the beef packers' trust has already become
50 dominant m tue sole leather tanning business that it ia difficult
to locate independent tanneries.
More than thirtv tanneries are
now said to be under Armour, Swift, -Morris control. To a less
extent, the beef packers' trust is
also connected with the tanumg
of upper leather,
Under these conditions we see
that the fight for free hides is a fight for existence on the part of
the independent taners. I predict that, if the duties on hides and leather are 'Continued ten years
loncer. not onlv will the mononolv
of the tanning industry by the
beef trust be complete but the boot and shoe industry will then
be a part of the tariff-fostered and tariff-nourished beef trust. Inde
pendent shoe manufacturers can not pay 20 per cent more for leather than will its trust competitors and live. The handicap is
too great. Then there will be a
monopoly in production of shoea
and, as soon as the independents are kilted, the 25 ner cent dutv on
shoes will become effective and the
prices of shoes in this country
will be advanced to 20 or 25 per
cent above foreign prices and, probably, above export prices.
ny Congress hesitates to cive
us free hides I can not under
stand, unless our Senators and IteprtHicntatives have ceased to think of the welfare of our S7, 000,000 of consumers and are concerned only about the few producers who constitute our great
trusts. The facts and armimmf

tie raiser, but, if it did, there are
so few of them, comparatively,
mac iney should not be permitted to dictate the prices of hides,
leather and shoes to all of our
citizens.
The cattle raisers get nothing, or next to nothing, from the duties
on niues anu leather. They are.
however, by these duties, com
jielled to pay materially higher -prices for shoes, harness, saddles
nnd other leather coods.
In view of all the facts, there is no sound reason for retaining th6 duty on hides in order to protect cattle raisers or farmers. There is sound reason in favor of free hides in order to provide ns cheap
raw materials as nossib e to the
tanning nnd shoe manufacturing
industries, both of which are of great importance to all of our
people. If the dutv on hides is m
tained, it will be retainpd at the behest of the beef trust and for tin-
purpose of enabling it to hold and
