time Of warl IsItnct the tendency Of war to bring
with u prices high enough to satisfy even the
staunchest protectcnistl When nations 20 to war
40 they seek to cucumber their intercourse with
other nations BY additional burdens! Is this true
revenue policyi Is lit even reasonable protec.
i've pollcyf islta policy, justified or justifabIs
upon any intelligent principle whatever!
me very FIRST postulate Of aprotectiye tariff is,
that we should not import what we can produce
ior ourselves. The very first function of protec-
tive tariff Is, to tax the foreign article heavily, so
as to cucumber or prevent its Importation. to the
end that we may gradually and expensively, and
oftentmes must imperfecty, get the knack of ma
king it for ourselves meantime, inevitably losing
all the revenue which we should collect upon its
importation. The very first fatal effect of such
"a protective tariff is to make the people pay in the
shape Of advanced prices on the article. three or
four times as much money as isreceved upon il at
the custom-house,to to find its way into the treasury.
All this has been demonstrated hundred times -
In view OF this, the potlco-ecoDomca writers are
almost unanimous, and are wholly rreiutable. in
their condemnation Of the whole principle and eff.
isct OF a protective tariff Can any man say then
that such tariff IS the just and true tariff for sea-
son OF pressure, Of stagnaton, or Of war,
i is true, indeed, that the Mexican war will
probably affect our industrial and revenue system
far less than the advocates of the whg tariff sup
pose But we maintain that il the effect Of the war
were to be ten times greater, and more severe than
is expected to be, 1t would still constitute only
an additional argument for repeating the unjust
and unwise taxation law, under which the coun.
try now labors. Union.
