1T appears from this table, and still mOre clearly
from the official tariff in all its details that the
Belgian system is protective, and adequately as
well as desgnedly protective, OF domestic in-
dustry, and that it not ga tariff for revenue"
nor ga tariff for revenue with incidental prOtec
" ton" The few dd ralorem duties found in it,
occur only in the cases Of articles which do not
compete with any of their industries. Our tarfl
of 1646 looked TO revenue first and incidental pro
lection afterward, levying its rates according to
values as il it were assessing a tax upon consump
tion-a tax upon consumers in the ratio of yalua.
ton. The Belgian has nowhere the idea of taxa.
ton in it. When it charges three cents per
square yard upon the coarsest plain cottons, and
but one cent upon the finest, 1t has some
other intent than taxation, and some other object
than revenue In the late Anglo-French tariff,
we find tho same. kind of discrimination in cot
tons; France levyng upon them her import duties
also in the inverse ratio Of their fneness and
value-one cent upon the square yard OF the
coarsest, and only the one four-hundredth of one
cent upon the square yard Of the finest; both, evil
IDENTIFY, intended to defend their home markets
from invasion by those qualities of the fabric in
which English capital and machinery can under
work them, and both leaving competition open 10
those finer tissues in which they cannot be under
sold at home.
Again: Belgium does not intend revenu.
I when she admits all raw materials for her
manufactures, including steel, imported exclu
sively for that use, free Of duty. Raw sugar
is admitted at two cents duty per tun; it pay
an excise duty of S47 G2 per tuD, or above
two cents pound, if consumed; but this ex.
else is retntted, or refunded, if the sugar is re
exported In the whole tariff list, there is no
departure from this principle which j, that the
customs shall be protective of home indus
try; and if revenue is wanted from the same
article, it shall be rased-not as an import
! duty, which would interfere with the manufac'
turer. but as an internal tar upon the con
sumer.
Again: An equal system Of taxation requires
that the duties shall be calculated according to-
values, even when they are collected rs SPECIFIC
duties; but in these tables the ratio of duties
does not respect the values either in the same
or different classes of goods. Table linen Of
the finest quality is put at II cents the pound,
and linen cambric at 20 cents. There is no
proportion to values, but disproportion that
nothing can explain but the idea of protecting
or defending their productive industry wher-
ever and to whatever degree 1t is exposed TO
! forSiga competition.
