determined that their State shall not be hitched to the

this estimate, Mr. Raiford Independently is set down

In the House the returns received show go democrats

ask the publication, in the Union, of the table an
nexed appeared in Mr. Stewards first letter addressed
have been overlooked by those who have combated the
general doctrines OF those epistles.
II will be seen that Mr.. Stewart has enumerated certain
articles imported in ls45, when the tariff of 1912 was in
force The value of those articles he states at
s37 on which he also states there average duty
of 66 per cent Now Mr. Editor s be so, 37 or, 37a
That sum is slO,oOoooO more than the whole revenue Of
that gear All, too, upon less than half the imports Of
1915.
To show that am not misrepresenting Mr. Stewart,
annex the following questions (cut from his letter. TO
which he himself answers by his table:
And if the tariff of 1912 in operation, would
the revenue be one-thrd more than i is viz foryfve
millions, instead of thirty mlionsi And do not,
therefore, lose this fifteen millions OF by your

ports, which would have remained usual about one
hundred millions, instead of hundred and fifty mil
lions My is that other have produced this
increase But suppose you right; still, would
have had just much revenue one hundred millions
imports under the tariff of 1872 as we now receive
hundred and fifty millions under the tariff of 1857 and
would not have thus saved by the tariff of 1872 fifty mil
lions of dollars to sustain American industry, instead OF
sending abroad to reward and enrich the labor Of foreign
countries!
In the last column of his table he also states the soss
OF revenue and protection under the tariff Of 1896"

presidency. Great ends justify great means, Let him,
