Is Again: the Secretary says another
y thing. He says that by The Tariff Of SAC
OF duties have been reduced from 100 and
Is 200 per cent. down to 20 and 80 per cent.
lie that .bree-fiiihs Of the duty has been taker
re off of iron; aud more than one.hal
: the duty off Of coal and yet he say.
Is the price Of iron is higher than it was be
g. fore, and Of coal too. Well, sir, if the
IN fact is so, who then is benefited by the re
ks duction Of The duty The foreigner, mos
e clearly, and The foreigner alone. Ameri
- can consumers pay more for their iro
al. than they did before. The amount Of tn
he change is this, that the foreigner brings hi
hi IRON into our marke,, aud the Treasur
80 loses three fif,hs Of the former duty. o
en- such stale Of things this model Of Sec
ne rotary congl atulates Pennsylvania, and al
p ludes 10 the result Of the late elections a

IN Of the "toiling Millions" Aud for III
his he got the votes Of Pennsylvania , h
der takes nearly one.haIf Of The duty off
on. hats and fifty and thirty per cent. off
led cloths and shoes. What for To incIea.
TO revenue. How vii! this increase rerar
en ue! BY increasing imports. He says b
re-. has reduced the duties one.ihird, SO thi
as now he must import one hundred and fiji
millions worth OF goods 10 get the sau
ish revenue that one hundred millions ga,
ays under the tariff of SAP, and he must ser
the fifty millions Of dollars 10 pay for ther
ici; So the foreigter sells us fifty millions
the displace fifty millions row made at HON
IN. wiihou, paying our Treasury one ce
san more acknowledgement have all Il
oil benefit and Americans bear all the los
ag. That is the beautiful policy Of our mod
red President and his model Secretary, and
ing pretty pair of models ,heysase J 4 laugh
the But, there is shadow over them o
80 Rough and Resdy IS coming TO correct q
The this ni.Republlcaa policy and see jnslit
IS done to the American people. Under .tb
ur, precious doctrine Of Mr.. Walker We mu
red import six millions more Of ioseign iron
the get The duties we did, and leave so mus
I'LL. Of our own iron under the ground. WI
oi must we take SO much more Of Bfiti
der iron while Eaalan will not lake any mo
of our cotton!
ma, Once more this Secretary tells US ,b
PSI. the uniform effect Of high tariff is to o
press labor, and that Of low tariffs is
ave favor il. II will soon. he says, becon
lily are TAX upon LABOR. A tax on foreil
ere goods tax on our own labor lndeee
ails | will adopt the maxim, but with an amen
ca. ment. move to inser. the word 40
"; eigB." A tariffs are tax on foreign Il
lad Dor. SO they are, when foreign ,labo
uld comes IN competition with our own. Bu
he 10 encourage the latter, Mr.. Walker take
The The duty off of foreign labor and puts
fr. on our own. The reduction inures lo III
ID; benefit Of ,be foreigner, and The Treasur
loses the revenue.
Ter HI. snys tina, low duties are always 70
ain lowed by public prosperity; and he yer
