TARIFF AND TAX.
Speech) of Scaator Yaa Wyck
Agalaet the Trl"-d- -Tax
CeatmiwieB Kilt,
( Congressional Record, March 28.(
The senate, as in committee of the
whole, resumed the consideration of
the bill (3. 22) to provide for the ap
pointment of a commission to in
vestigate the question of the tariff and
internal revenue laws.
Mr. Van Wyck Mr. President I
have not sought the floor this time for
the purpose of making a speech upon
the tariff bill, but rather of submitting
a few suggestions as to the necessity
and propriety of a commission to ex
amine and determine that matter
which properly belongs to the con
gress of the United States itself to do.
Delegating the duties of congress to
a commission cannot be defended. It
has already been extended too far,
seldom producing any practical or
beneficial result s,and at large expend
itures of money. When a perplexing
matter, or one where it is desired to
avoid responsibility, is introduced,
the strategy of statesmensbip at once
resolves a commission. The occasion
for creating may pass away, but the
commission itself always clings with
fearful tenacity to the purse strings.
So when an interest or locality seems
to need either aid or sympathy this is
a healing panacea.
Take the ease of the bug commis
sion. In the dealing of Providence
the grasshopper passed away, but the
commission, without adding anything
to relieve the calamity, for a long
time thereafter continued. So the
yellow fever came. Immediately a
national health commission must be
organized. Providence removed the
epidemic, not the other infliction, for
the commission remains even to this
day, at an annual expense of $100,000.
Congress was asked to exercise what
power it possessed to regulate, con
trol, or prohibit the liquor traffic.
This being a troublesome intrusion
the question is shirked, and to get rid
of the annoyance a commission is sug
gested, which takes the whole subject
out of congress and effectually buries
it. If that was not the object of the
projectors it will bo the result. Does
any one suppose, after that commis
sion has journeyed for one year
throughout the country and expended
the $10,000 provided, a single- uew
fact or argument will have been add
ed to aid congress in determining the
mode of exercising any power it may
possess over the subject ?
So a large majority of this nation
are asking not only for a modification
but reduction of tariff rates to reve
nue purposes. They do not believe
that high tariff, that an additional tax
reduces the price to the consumer.
They do not believe that a tariff tax of
$28 per ton on steel and then a com
bination of eleven steel manufacturers
in the United States have a tendency
to cheapen the price of steel in the
market. They do not believe a duty
or tax of $3 per thousand feet will
cheapen the price of lumber to the
purchaser. They do not believe it
wise to build a Chinese wall around
the republic and then give millions to
create commerce where commerce has
been crippled by high tariffs.
So believing the people are knock
ing at the door of congress, and con
gress tenders them the usual commis
sion bill. Why? Is it true the pro
jectors of this scheme not only desire
to avoid responibility, but also to de
lay and prevent action at this time?
If so, it is an expensive subterfuge.
An annual expenditure of about $100,
000, and then the fearful consequences
when we remember that a commission
never dies. Again I ask, why this
commission. You say to obtain
facts. How idle to ask nine men to
obtain facts on a snbject which has
been discussed by the people of this
nation fifty years. All classes, all in
terests, all localities have studied, dis
cussed, and understand it in all its
bearings. Miscellaneous and school
books, the newspapers, the great dis
seminators of information, orators
upon the hustings, statesmen in the
national and state capitols have al
ready exhausted the subject. Do Ibe
gentlemen who are pressing believe
they can be enlightened by any com
mission? Does the distinguished
senator from Vermont Mr. Morrill
or the equally intelligent senator from
Delaware Mr. BayardJ believe such
a thing possible ? The history of this
nation for the laet fifty years furnishes
more literature on this subject than a
commission of nine men who by this
bill are expected to spend much of
their time in "journeyings off." If it
is possible to put any more facts and
arguments in the brains of the protec
tionist and free-trader who occupies
a seat in either end of this building,
he can better be supplied at the cus
tom house and the treasury depart
ment than any commission created
under this bill. Let ub proceed to
the discharge of the duties for which
the people 6ent us here, and not resort
to a subterfuge which will fail either
to deceive or amuse them. Let ns
make this tariff permanent by making
it just. The senator from Ohio Mr.
ShermanJ has plainly demonstrated
the necessity of immediate legislation
on several subject?,notably,8ugar, iron
and steel. How shall we explain
to the people if we neglect this
great duty? Can we satisfy them
by pointing to a large and ex
pensive commission to traverse the
country and gather up facts, all of
which are in this capital, in the re
port of the census office or the sta
tistics in the treasury department?
Will they be satisfied by the explana
tion that these great questions of tariff
and revenue can only rise in the house
of representatives, and that by artful
ly contrived rules the committee of
ways and means are absolute, and
may be tyrannical in the introduction
of bills relating to those subjects ; and
that by skillful manipulation the
committee may be so constituted to
defeat the wishes of the majority and
to throttle all measures they do not
wish to adopt ? Neither can we po
litically defend our unwillingness to
aet promptly and meet the issues here
1 and now by arraigning another party
for neglect of duty. The senator from
Ohio insists upon immediate action.
The proposed commission canuot re
port within one year; in the mean
time these tariff rates go on," and
another three million is not only lost
but fraudulently taken from the rev
enues in the item of sugar alone. The
senator was evidently more surprised
than be expressed at the decision of
the supreme court on the sugar prob
lem. His experience should have
demonstrated to him that the supreme
court ever since the days of Died
Scott decision are entertainiqg the
nation with frequent surprises; some
of them with less reason, less justice,
and, possibly, more serious results
than this on the mode ot determining
the color or value of sugar. Gentle
men desire a commission to save con
gress from itself and protect the peo
ple from its blunders. But what tri
bunal or remedy is proposed to
protect the people from the su
preme court. A law is enacted,
the department executes it'; while do
ing so, ascertaining that frauds against
the revenue are deliberately planned
and really consummated, applies the
means to prevent them, and in fact
does so.
This law designates color as the in
dication of the value of sugar, what is
known to the work as the Dutch
standard. The foreign manufacturers
combine to defraud, and by lime, mo
lasses, and other devices to make not
the Dutch standard, but an imitation.
A fraudulent imitation because done
with the criminal iutent to deceive, to
be used only for this nation, and
for the open and notorious purpose
of defrauding its revenues. And it
really ceases to be the Dutch standard
of color. Under protest the importers
pay the duty required by the depart
ment, about three millions of dollars.
This large sum is repaid to tbem by
the consumers in the retail price of
the sugar. Then the importers go to
the courts to recover back the mil
lions which the consumers, not they,
had paid into the treasury. The court
greets tbem with the pleasing an
nouncement that no matter though
the color of the sugar in its manufac
ture was fraudulently debased in
color as an imitation of the Dutch
standard, and done with the avowed
object to defraud the revenues, yet
the department had no right to use
science, to use chemical tests, to use
an instrument to demonstrate that
the color was manufactured fraud.
The department must not use the in
strument known as the polariscope.
And for that offense the dealers shall
be refunded millions, not a dollar of
which will go to the people who paid
it.
And the supreme court, with more
than usual emphasis, with a degree of
h-ifte and impatience which to them
selves must seem undignified, from
that quiet shadowy realm, boldly de
clares "if congress desires the appli
cation of the chemical test in order
to determine the saccharine strength
of the sugar, why does not congress
say so?" After this sharp and possi
bly well-merited reprimand to con
gress, and by indirection justifying a
glaring fraud, settles down to its
wonted quietude, and gently orders
the repayment of millions for the ben
efit of those it admitted had boldly
planned and execnted frauds upon the
revenues. Probably a commissian
with power to follow and reverse the
supreme court might be as useful as
one to precede and advise congress.
The relations and compensation of
labor very properly enter into the
consideration of all matters of politi
cal economy. A commission could
not present them more forcibly than
has been done in the able speeches
delivered on the floor during the
present session. It is surprising in
every demand for protection and
special privileges, whether by tariffs,
or donations of public lands, or sub
sidies of millions, how earnest and
pathetic is the appeal in the name of
patriotism and the benefit of labor.
Then how strangely acts comport with
words. Because they are industrious,
frugal and docile, the Chinese must
go. Because they are indolent, prod
igal and sayage, the Indian must
stay. You are willing to protect
labor at the expense of the bumble,
no matter bow violative of what are
called eternal principles. The wild
shout comes up from the Pacific
slope to crucify the Chinese. At
the alleged demand of labor you
turn the immense power of what
you are proud to call the greatest
republic on earth upon bis unoffend
ing head. The same cry for better
wages comes from the Missouri river
and you unchain the dogs of war and
point the guns of the same republic
upon the same element in whose
presence you stood uncovered only a
few short hours ago. Again, on the
banks of the Merrimac goes up from
the spinners and weavers in your
mills their protest to the protected
manufacturers that the reduced wages
will not give bread to wives and
clothing to children, and you turn
and brand tbem as strikers. The ex"
perience of the past, the lights of the
present are before ns. Nothing pre
vents that we should proceed and ex
press the wishes of that nation, which
are better than a commission, al
though appointed by the president
and confirmed by the senate, can
represent. Trne, there are conflicting
interests and antagonistic sections to
be reconciled ; there are theories and
abstractions to be harmonized. Above
all there is equality before the law,
equal and exact justice to all citizens
to be maintained. But let us bring to
the discharge of our duty that spirit
of fair play which usually animates
and always demands the respect of
the people. And we can frame such
tariff rates, while doing no real injury
to the favored few who have grown
strong, possibly exacting, by reason
of special legislative powers, which
may shower its blessings on all, and
the humblest citizen may not be com
pelled to beg for the privilege to toil,
and the wealthy not yield grudgingly
the crumbs that fall from his table.
