•No timelier conti iluiiion to the
tariff discussion has been off d

the late Jam -s G. BJ,line's personal
letter to Major .-. Kin; when the
i 111ei 3 committer was considering
the removal ,hides from the lree
list.
Mr Blaine declared that it would
be a -re. 1 mist to take hides
from the free list, remarking ironi-
cally that it would "benefit the
fai mer bv adding a to ^ per cent to
the price of his children's shoes."
He pointed out that it would yield
a profit to the butcher only "the
last man that needs it." The letter
closed with the significant fi'site-
•n at ; 1: "mi '. movetn "its as this
for protection will portect the Re-
pnblica n party into speedy retire-
ment.''
Major McKinley took the hint
and had.the tax 011 hides erased
from bis bill, but the Dingley com-
mittee has succumbed tolb pres-
sure of the hide men and has
agreed to put a tax 011 the shoe and
leather industry and on the shoes
of the people. Statistics show that
over $20,'>'rfl.OOO worth of hides and
skins was imported into this 1 aun-
ty lree. Of goat skins not pro-
over $10,000,000 worth. This leath-
er went into the production of
shoes and be lting, of ■■ hieh, fter
supplying the want.- of ti 1. , ,11111-
trv there v. . ,• a surplus of
156 ior export. The wages pr ; I in
the leather industries amounted to

Hut another example of the tnan-
n r in which tlie Republ i-ans pro-
pose to 'ax the people into pros; r-
ity is found in the rope 1 of t!. 're
