THE TARIFF

The Democratic party are in favor Of
tariff for reoenue while the Wings adyo-
cate tariff for protection, aud this is the
broad difference between the two parties
on the tariff question. Tie Government
must have revenue to defray its current
expenses, and the amount necessary for
this purpose must be raised by tariff on
imported articles, or by direct taxes. A
protective tariff can afford protection only
by excluding entirely orin part such for
cign articles as come in competition with
those of home growth and manufacture
In proportion 10 the extent of protection
the. elore must be tho dminution in the
revenue. A protective tariff and rev
enue tariff involve principles which are
irrcconcilib e. Protection, il is true, NAV
to certain extent be obtained under tar
if laws designed for revenue. but to frame
such laws with the special design to pro-
lection is TO make the object Of the first
importance secondary consideration or
to defeat il altogether.
A system Of equal and general protec-
ton ~e4ll dry nr tLs ss.S erris which SUPP
ply the National Treas1ry, and renderit
necessary to impose direct taxes forihe
support Ut government. The revenue
under the new riffhaving greatly fallen
of, the wants Of the government arsnow
in great measure supplied by loans and
running in debt. But,credit wi not last
forever, and the sums borrowed must be
paid. What does true policy require TO
be done' Shall we have protective tar
if and direct taxes, or revenue tariff
which will save US from National Debt
