Remarks Of Andrew Stewart, of
Pennsylvania,

In defence Of The Protective Policy. De1iver-
ed in the House Of Representatives, T. s., on
the An March, and 27M JIay 1916. Ire
riscd Edition.
Now he wished to state few plain facts
derived from this very report of Secretary
Walkers itself, utterly subversivc of his whole
theory, In the first place, his voluminous ta-
bic showed, at page $50 and 81, that for the
last 20 years the tariff and the revenue had
invariably went up and down together 3D.
That i'll 1912, under 20 per cent tariff the
nett revenue was only $12, 790,173, while un-
der the present tariff, averaging, he says, near
40 per cent the last year, (1845) the nett
revenue was $27,528,112 as given at page
%, more than double that of 1912, and cor
responding exactly with the increase of the
duties. Yet in the face Of these facts, he
proposes to reduce the duties to what they
were IN 1912, to increase the revenue
For the four years preceding the tariff
Of 1924, the average gross revenue was
22,753,000 Under the tariff of 1924, which
its opponents at the time predicted would r1l-
in the revenue, and compel a resort to direct
taxation, the average for the four years of its
duration was $2S,929,O0O. Next came the
1925 which it was said would bankrupt the
treasury beyond all question, and what was
the result? The average revenue during
the four years Of its operation increased to
$30,5il, 900. Then came the compromise
bill Of 1888, which brought the tariff down by
biennial reductions to horizontal duty of 20
per cent; and what was its effect upon the
revenue? The revenue declined pdri paSu
with the tariff, yielding for ten years an av-
erage of S2l ,496, 900, and the last year of its
operation under the 20 per cent duty, only
$l6,6S6,000 gross revenue, netting $12780,-
600, while our expenditures were more than
double that amount. Then came the present
tariff, which yielded more than $32,000,0O
gross-S27 100000 net revenue. Now, what
does our profound Secretary Of the Treasury
propose to do to improve the revenue? Mark
it! lie proposes to reduce the tariff to an
average OF about 20 per cent, which "cxpe-
riencc proves" he says, will give the highest
rrccenue, and yet this very report shows the
fact that 20 per cent tariff in 1912 yielded
only Sl2,780,0O0, while the present tariff last
year yielded $27,j2G,O0O. Thus, according
to the Secretary, taceiue is more than tWcatY-
Se0eh! new discovery in arithmetic.
And was not this pretty time to select for
the reduction of duties Now, when we had
just entered into war, whose duration no
man could predict or calculate. When we
went to war in 1912, we doubled the duties
now it was proposed to cut them down one
half! What consummate proof of political
wisdom and financial ability was here exhib-
tied Why, then, destroy the present admi
rable torltf that had worked 50 we'll and
adopt such miserable and Iickcty system as
