Littauer has, told us that the impor
tations are greater now than when
the duty was put on. I have not
looked into it myself."
And there you have it. One man,
a manufacturer of gloses and a good
fellow, asked that every woman who
wears gloves should pay a higher
tax on them. And this tax is not for
,the benefit of the United States
treasury, but for the monopoly of
which Mr. Littauer is the head. No
one else asked it. Chairman Payne
could give no other reason for the
increase than the request of this one
man. But that was enough. He got
it.
The Winona Republican says
there should be patriotism enough
to make the payment, of the increase
in the price of gloves a pleasure to
buyers because it stimulates an in
fant industry. It's a mighty strong,
healthy industry, whose qwners are
rolling-in wealth. If one of the
proprietors of that paper votes for
this increase and also the increase
in the duty on stockings he should
be defeated at the next eelction.
Watch his vote.—Rochester Post
