The plea of the high tariffs in favor of pro

The plea of the high tariffs in favor of pro-
hibiting duties, or what ere equivalent
thereto. is that it protects American indus
try. There would be something in this
argument if the operatives deserved the
benefit Of the prohibition; but the profits to
the manufacturer under the protective sys-
tenn find their way into the pockets of the
mill owners, and not the laborers. Con-
missioner Wells in his revenue re-
port, estimated that there are twelve thous
and men engaged in the pig iron business,
while those engaged in the trade say there
are only six Thousand, fact which gives
more force to the argument against pro.ec.
ting that interest, for the smaller the mum
Der engaged in the business, the greater the
burden that It's protection imposes upon the
balance of the population. 1t appears that
tventh millions of taxes are paid for the
benefit of tneire or sirteen thousand pig
makers, as the number may be. OF this
tax only about million goes into the pub
shc treasury, and the belance into the hands
OF the pig iron makers. Can any good rea,
son be given why millions of people should
be taxed for the benefit of few thousand
engaged 10 one branch of business And
we may inquire further if this kind of favor
itism should be the object ola just and good
government The pig iron tax develops
the inequality of protection in nut shell
Be it rememb ered that under a Radical
dispensstion of the government, the people
are taxed and pay about nineteen millions
year to the six Thousand engaged in pig
iron making. and of that six thousand very
few reap the benefits of this unequal and
unjust tax. How long will burdens cor.
tinue? We may answer. until the end of
Radical rule.
