COAL ON THE FREE LIST.

GARFIELD WOULD TAX TEA AND CoFFEI
BUT LET IN COAL FREE OF DUTY.
On the 18Th Of March, 1871, the follow
ing joint resolution WAS passed by thC
House of Representatives;
Bet enacted, &c., That from and after
the passage of this joint resolution NJ
tax or duty shall be levied or collected
on foreign coal.
On the passage Of this resolution Gen
eral Garfield voted aye-See Congress
sional G ODE, Part l., 42d Congress, p. so
Hon. W. D. Kelly and all other mem
bers of Congress in favor Of protection
voted against this joint resolution re-
pealing the duty on coal. In fact in all his
votes on tariff questions at this time
Garfield was in opposition to the Pennsyl
vania ProteCtionists, like Judge Kelly
General Moorhead and others. General
M0orhead is Chairman Of the Allegheny
County Republican Committee and has
been challenged to deny this statement
and has never dared to do 20. General
Moorhead knows when he served in
Congress, Garfield was regarded as free
trader.
General Garfield on March 10, 1871
when the House was considering the bill
referred to, made speech in favor of
free trade on coal. 81 think it unwise,"
he said, ito continue the odium of this
duty on coal, and I am therefore IN favor Of
lis repeaI."-[See Globe, 1St sess. 42l Con-
gress, page SO.
Garfield would put an additional tax
on the miners cup of tea and coffee, but
voted to ad ait coal free of duty, thus
bringing their labor into competition with
that of the oppressed miners Of Great
Britain.
0n page 72 Congressional Globe, 1st
session 42l Congress, will be found the
record of Garfield on taking the tariff
duties off coal and keeping said duties
on tea and coffee. The resolution on the
coal tariff reads as follows:
Be II resolved, &c., That from and after
the passage Of this joint resolution no tax
or duty shall be collected upon foreign
coal.
Oa this the vote of Garfield is recorded
YEA.
A bill offered by s. ]. Randall, Demo-
crat, Of Pennsylvania, was next read as
follows:
Be Il enacted, &C., That from and after
the passage Of this act Tea and Coffee
shall be placed on the free list, and no
further import duties shall be collected
from the same.
On this the vote of Garfield is recorded
NO.
This record shows that Garfield was
perfectly willing to put coal down to the
lowest price, and at the same time voted
that those who mined the coal should
pay the highest price for Tea and Cof.
