bryAs talks on tariff
' 'ft-fontlnucd from First Page.)
to give them the measure of prirteetton
they should receive."
Qneatlon of Raaonable Proflt.
MI1 he explain upon what rule the pres
ent tariff waa franiad'.' When have the re
publican claimed ''more protection her
and abroad? The; reasonable profit to
American Industries" Is an addition to th
.rule, and la likely to be used hh an excuse
for raising the, tarltf. Aod, by the way,
to what other business does the govein
, ment guarantee ,a "reasonable profit?'
'To the farmer, or the merchant or the
laborer? To none of these. If in revising
the tariff the republican party ia to work
upon exactly the same plan (or a plan
contemplating a higher rate) what hope
have we thai the new tariff will be lower
than tiie present oue? Are the present
tariff leaders more honest than the ones
who framed the existing tariff? Are they
not. In fact, th same men who are re
sponsible for tariff, extortion during the
last decade? If tills new-born' seal for re
vision were an hundred times greater than
his notification speech Indicates, what
rhinr would the republican candidate
have ol securing any real tariff reform at
the hand of SMch republicans as now
represent that party In the senate and
house. tuVvery men who represented It In
th recent, national convention Speaker
Cannon, 'wHo has suppressed tariff legisla
tion ll thfc present congrtsa. was a domi
nating factor in the convention and. If the
republicans retain control of the house,
will be the speaker of the next congress.
Does his prominence afford tariff re
formers any assurance of a reduction of
the tariff In the Interest of the consumers?
In case of a republican victory, Congress
nan Sherman will become the presiding
ifflcer of Um senate. He has been the
onfidentlal champion of Speaker Cannon,
ind In the convention It was 8eaker Can
non who vouched for .him. Hut as a mat
ter of fact, Mr. Shtrman'a standpatism
needed no endoraemi-nt ; his. record is a
guaranty that no beneficiary of special
privileges will be disturbed. H was Con
gressman Sherman who. In a speech in the
house on the I'th of last April, boastfully
declared. "We recognize the fact that we
have a republican majority In the senate,
that we have a republican niajorite In the
house, that Is ready lo resort to every
legal, every proper constitutional right to
enact such legislation as It deems for the
best interest for the greatest number of
our people, and which Is willing and ready
to accept full responsibility for all those
measures which are Introduced here and
which are not enacted Into law."
In ordinary affairs there Is no difference
between u tariff reformer and 8 protec
tionist. They meet together In business,
in society, in the lodge room and In the
church. In their dally life they apply the
same rules and ate guided by the same
business rules. This similarity manifests
Itself all through life and up to the very
hour of ijeatli. If a, protectionist makes a
will, he makes it upon tiie same plan thai
t lie tariff reformer follows. As death ap
proaches, he estimates the value of his
property, leaves to his wife and children
what he wishes them to have, and then
makes such bequests aa he likes to public
Institutions and to those outside of the
family: and such part as he leaves to his
wife and children, he carefully divides
among them, giving to each a definite
share, lie does not give all his properly
to one child and aay that he trusts Hie
child to deal fairly with the r-st of the
family.' ' Why? Because he knows his
children and would not put a child In a
position where selfishness might lead him
to do Injustice to other members of the
family. No. he would not trust his own
flesh and blood to deal fairly with those
reared at the same fireside with him; and
he Is wise In not placing tins temptation
before one of his own family. But when a
protectionist comes lo make a tariff law,
he aits on an entirely different plan; he

, is an improved wheat food, furnishing all tiie

of the human body. Made from the whole
grain of the wheat, the only cereal designed by
nature for man's proper subsistence. se'o
dollars to manufacturers whom he has
never seen, and trusts them to be Just In
tiie distribution of the trust fund among
their employes. And what has been the
result? Just what might have been ex
pected: tiie manufacturers have appropri
ated this trust fund lo their own use and
have paid their employes only such wages
as trade conditions cumpelled.
We would not expeit a Jury to do Justice
to tlm defendant if It was composed en
tirely of the relatives of the plaintiff;
neither can we expect a congress to do Jus
tice to the masses if It Is composed of men
who are In sympathy with, and obligated
to, the corporations which have for a gen
eration been enjoying special privileges.
There Is no piospi-ct of relief from a re
publican president and congress. The
democratic party. If entrusted with power,
can and will reduce tiie tariff.
DeDmunris uf Democrat.
The democratic platform not only de
mands a reduction of the tariff, but it
plainly outlines the course to be pursued
in securing the reduction. It begins hy
proposing mat articles which come Into
competition with articles controlled by a
triiM be placed on the Tree list. What
better place to begin?
What would be the effect of the remedy
proposed by the democratic platform?
Simply this: A law goes Into effect at
onie, fixed date in the future, and If the
democrats pass a law. putting upon the
free list articles coming Into competition
with those controlled by a trust, the trust
will have until that date to dissolve. If
the trust considers the law too drastic. It
can avoid It by giving up Its monopoly.
Secietary Taft calls tills remedy "utterly
destructive" and In his anxiety to prevent
It overlooks the. fact that the democratic
party lias other remedies for the- trusts.
If we can succeed In dissolving existing
trusts, aud in preventing the organization
of new ones, there will be no trusts against
which lo use the remedy of which he com
plalrs. There is now a law against trusts,
but It has not been sufficiently enforced
to prevent tl lists. The democrats demand
its enforcement; If Its enforcement rids
t lie country of trusts, then this policy
wh'icii Air. Taft so much fears will become
prrfeitlv harmless. If the democrats se
cure control of botli the house and the
senate, they are pledged to legislation
which will make a private monopoly Im
possible. If the republicans retain control
of part of the legislative machinery of tiie
government and refuse to Join In the ef
fort to make a private monopoly Impos
sible, they are not In a position to com
plain of tariff legislation aimed at trusts.
If they retuse to assist us In exterminating
the principle of private monopoly, they can
not well object lo legislation necessary to
protect the people from I rust extort ion.
The second step In Hie reduction of the
tariff is a "material reduction upon the
necessities of life, especially upon goods
competing with such American manufac
turers as are sold abroad more cheaply
than at home." At present the articles
used by the poor bear a higher rate, ad
valorem, than the articles used by the
rich. This statement can be verified by
an examination of any of the schedules.
A tax upon consumpilon. even when laid
Willi absolute lir.prtiallty. bears heaviest
upon the poor, because our necessities are
much more uniform than our possessions.
People do not eat in proportion to their
Income; thev do not wear clothing In pro
portion to their Income: they do not use
taxed goods In proportion to their Income.
As all taxes must come out of one's In
come, no matter through what system
levied or collected. I hey are. In effect. In
come taxes and taxes on consumption ars
reallv graduated income taxes, the largest
per cent being collected from those with
the smallest Income and the smallest per
cent from those with the largest Income.
It Is only fair, therefore, that In an at
lernnt to relieve the people from the In
l.iulties of a high tariff the poor, who are
over-burdt ne.1. should be given first con
sul, ration. Then. ton. a reduction In the
Mrif' on t' necessities of life brings a
Win-fit tofall the p;upU', while a reduction
In the tax upon luxuries would benefit but
a portion of the people.
Surely no one will object to a reduction
being made upon articles which come Into
competition with American manufacturers
which are sold abroad more cheaply than
at home. The American manufacturer who
sends his goods to foreign lands and there,
without any protection whatever, competes
successfully witli the manufacturers of all
the world, does not need a high tariff to
meet competition In the home market. And
there are enough articles sold abroad at a
low price to assure a large advantage to
t ho American consumers through the carry
ing out of tills one plank.
Hevenne Basis Talk.
Mr. Taft. however, finds the greatest
alarm In the following clause In our plat
form :
"Uradual reductions should be made in
such other schedules as may be necessary
to restore the tariff to a revenue basis."
He regards this threatened departure
from tho protective system as fatal. We
are here brought face to face with the
theoretical difference between the positions
of the two parties en the subject of tariff.
The democratic partv regards a tariff law
as a revenue law, the protection It gives
being Incidental; the republican party re
gards a tariff law as framed primarily for
protection, t lie revenue being Incidental.
As the effect of a given rate on a par
ticular article Is the same, whether levied
for the purpose of revenue or for the pur
pose of protection. It may be well to de
fine Hie difference between a revenue tariff
and a protective, tariff. A revenue tariff
Is so framed as to collect a revenue and
you stop when you gel enough: a pro
tective tariff mav be so framed as to col
lect but little revenue, and yet lay a
heavy burden upon the people and you
never know when to stop. To Illustrate:
A tariff may he made so high as to ab
solutely prohibit importation. If. In such
a case, the manufacturers yield to the
temptation mention by Mr. Taft and com
bine to take advantage of the duty, the
consumers will be heavily taxed, and yet
none of the money will reach tho treasury.
As a tariff law Interferes with the nat
ural laws of trade, one who proposes a pro
tective tariff, tskes upon himself the bur
den of proof to show, flist. that a pro
tective tariff Is rignt In principle; second,
that II Is wise as a public policy, and.
third, that It is necessary. And. yet. what
protectionist attempts to present an argu
ment in support of any one of these propo
sitions? Is it right to tax ad of the people for the
benefit of a fewT Where a community has
attempted lo collect taxes for the aid of an
Industry, even whin the industry was lo
be located In the community, the highest
cot'.rt In ihe land has declared such a lax
to e larceny in the form of law. If a city
government cannot ria'htfiilly tax all the
people to bring an industry Into the city,
where such benefits 8 are conferred are
more easily seen and more universally en
I' ved. who will say that a fa'-mer In the
Missouri vallev can he rightfully taxed to
sunpoit an Industry In a distant state?
As a matter of public nolicv. is It wise
that the industries that do pa' should b
compelled to carrv unon tiieir bicks in
dustries which, according to the arguments
made bv their representatives, crni'd ooi
live without aid? Have we not seen this
system introducing enrruntmn Into politics,
and is it not bulldins business upon an un
substantial haals Having secured a tariff
from one parly, the henef ic ries loudlv
declare that the country will be ruined if
arv other party obtains control of the gov
ernment. Manufacturers have Intimidated
their employes and threatened them with
a reduction in wages unless a paitv favor
ahle to the svstem was continued In power.
But the whole svstep' In vicious Busi
ness should not tie built noon legislation:
It should stand umn Its own me rit, and
when It does stand upon its own merit we
shall not only have purer politics, hut we
shall have less fluctuation In business con
ditions and a more equitable distribution
of the proceeds of loll
i The third proposition which the protec
tionist must establish, namely, that the
tariff asked for la necessary. Is still less
considered. It is true that we pay higher
wages per day than are paid elsewhere,
but that does not necessarily mean that
tiie actual labor cost of an article ia
higher here than abroad. On the con
trary, the rule la that high priced .labor
produces a cheaper article than low-priced
labor. Manufacturers of hardware Will
tell you that they can export hardware
which contains a great deal of labor and a
small amount of raw material, hut that
they cannot export hardware In which the
raw material constitutes a large propor
tion of the value. We are sending manu
factures of steel all over the world. The
steam engine, for Instance, Is made bv
skilled labor, and yet we can send it
abroad and defy competition. Our elec
trical machinery Is made by skilled labor,
and vet we have no fear of foreign com
petition, even in the foreign markets.
Protection does not make good wages.
Our better wages are due to the greater in
telligence and skill of our workmen, to
the greater hope which f ree 1 Institutions
give them, to Improved machinery, to the
better conditions that surround them, and
to the organisations which have been
formed among the wage earners.
The democratic plan does not contem
plate an Immediate change from one system
to the other; It expressly declares that the
change shall be gradual, and a gradual
change Is only possible where the country
Is satisfied with the results of each step
taken. We elect a congress every two
vears and a president every four years, and
the people can soon atop any policy If t lie
results of that policy are not satisfactory
But we bellve that the experience the peo
ple have had with "protection for protec
tion's aake" has led .them to favor a
restoration of the tariff by gradual steps
to a revenue basis, and we are ronvlnced
that the advantage following each step
will be so pronounced and that the bene
fits will be so universally enjoyed that
there will he no cessation In ihe progress
toward a svstem under which the tariff w1M
he levied for the purpose of revenue and
limited to the needs of the government.
The low tariff law of 18 did not produce
a panic; on the contrary. It was so satis
factory that when the republican party
wrote Its first platform ten years after
ward tho protective principle was not en
dorsed. The whole aim of our party is to secure.
Justice in taxation. We believe that each
Individual should contribute to the support
of the government in proportion to the
benefits which he receives under the pro
tection of the government. - We believe that
a, revenue tariff, approached gradually, ac
cording to the plan iaid down in our plat
form, will equalize the burdens of taxation,
and that the addition of an Income, tax
will make taxation atlll more equitable.
If the republican party Is to have the sup
port of those who find a pecuniary profit
in the exercise of the taxing power, as a
private asset In their business, we ought to
have the support of that large majority
of the people who produce, the nations
wealth In time of peace, protect the na
tions flar In time of war and ask for
noihlng from the government but even- !
iiunded justice.
