Show Among the many inconsistencies of the Underwood Un-derwood tariff is the fact that there is a 10 per cent duty on cattle, vhile all the imports which constitute parts of the cattle are allowed into the country free. For example while the cow itself is subject to a 10 per cent duty yet the bones, hide, flesh, hoofs, blood, horns, milk and hair of the cow are free. We are forced to conclude with Representative Gardner of Massachusetts,, that "the countryman is said to have accepted many a gold brick in his time, but nothing except his sense of humor will keep him from exploding when he hears of that 10 per cent duty on cattle." |
