pamphlet, to be decided by the people, we give the
following extracts from The Tariff Of 1912, and
then leave the reader to decide ~he Their "a single
article raised or made in State is protected by
that bill"
Extracts from the Tariff of 1912.
"On manufactured hemp $40 per ton; on ready made
clothing &c advalorem duty of so cent? tanned
sole band leather pound all leather
otherwise specified, cents pound on vessels Of cast
iron per pound; caskins s. per dozen; on
mems boots and booeea of leather wholly or partially
manufactured ,25 per pair mems shoes and pumps 80
cents pair womens shoes or slippers 70 cents per par
rifles 81 80 EACH axes AIDES, hatehets, &c 80 per
cent adyaorem.
..On fur hats caps &C IS per advaorem; hats of
wool, &c each bank, folio, quar,o of all
kinds and letter and bank II ponnd,

cents per pound, Ac.'
The list might be greatly extended, but we are
content submit the issue upon these items. Is
scarcely a single article Of them ''raised made
in our Stdte?" Ii not, then the writer Of the
pamphe, is correct 10 that statement. But sup
pose it were true tina, The bill did no, pro'ec,
'scarcely q single article that raised made
in this Slate,'' would that render il obnoxious to
! the censure Of the writer? Have we no interest
10 protecting ,ho manufactures Of other States?
Have we not material, water power, and other
| facilities for manufacturing our raw materials
that they have in any other State and Is the act
merely to operate on manufac tories in existence
| at the time the bill passed? Is it not rather 10
encourage capitalists to make inves tments in that
business, and by the domestic competition to
bring the articles of domestic to the lowest
price 10 the consumer? 1t is true that Indiana is
most essentially an agricultural State, capable Of
producing almos, any given quantity Of agricui~
,ural produc,s still she aboupds in the material Of
a manufacturing State also. Blu, suppose she was
never TO manufacture single article, is il not a
desirable otjec, to give tho farmer ready, safe,
and good home marke, for the surplus produce OF
his farms Give him a market for his produce and
} he will prosper. We deny ,ha, GO for protec.
ton for The benefit of the manufacturer alone
0 and conten,ed that the farmer, the person who
raises the raw material upon which the manufac'
= iurer operates, and who furnishes the corn, beef
pork, flour, and other produce upon which he sub
sis,s, and which he is prepared 10 receive in cx
c change for manufnc I'd articles instead of mon
