A New Tariff Measure-TariRfOr Revenu OnIy-ReasOns for the Establishment
 

A New Tariff Measure-TariTfOr Revenue
 OnIy-ReasOns for the Establishment of
 Free Trade.
 WASHINGTON, Dec 6.-The joint resolution relating to the tariff introduced in the House by MT. Hurd, of Ohio, starts out with the proposition that any tariff levied by the Con- gross of the United States should be regulat- ed by the following principles: tariff is a tax on imported goods which is ultimately paid by the consumer as the importer always adds to the selling price. The amount of duty paid being tax paid by the citizen, it should therefore not be imposed except to provide revenue for the government, and on- ly that tariff ought to be levied which will impose the least burden upon the people and provide the necessary revenue. Second, 8 tariff for protection so-caIled does not in most cases protect the interests it pretends to foster While at times it may bring large profits to those engaged in manufacturing which is assumed to be protected, it soon
 by these very profits invites many persons
 into the business, from which result over pro-
 duction, overstocking of the market low
 prices, reduction of the hours of labor,
 the shutting down at least temporarily of
 workshops, endorsements of property
 and in many instances final bankruptcy, in which the large profits made at first are swal-
 lowed up and the large wages paid workmen which had been saved up are consumed in waiting for business revival, which, if it does not come, will inevita- ply be attended by the same consequences. Third 8 protective tariff does not increase | the wages of the worhngmen, as is demon
 strated by the following facts First, in Eng land since the policy of free trade has been | adopted the wages of laborers have been higher than when system of protection pre- | vailed. Second, in Germany, where there is ! a protective tariff, wages are lower than in | the countries without tariff or with 8 tariff for revenue only. Third, the average | wages of the American laborel since the adoption of the present l tariff have for ten years past l been less following for the difference in the 1 currency1 than under the revenue tariff fol | the ten years preceding Fourth, a pretec 1 tive tariff builds up one citizen at the ex pense of another, for every dollar of addi l tional price that protection enables the man ufacturer to charge must be paid by another l citizen Such a discrimination against one I and in favor of another government should not make. protective tariff which protect. i all equally is superfuous for if all are equal ly protected they are in precisely the same

He Fell Into Bad Company.

NEW YORK, Dec 6.-Shortly after one o'clock this afternoon John F. Hayes, a sporting character from Boston, was knocked down while on Carleton avenue, Brooklyn, and robbed of $12O. Two or three days ago Hayes sold a barroom which he owned in Bos- ton and went on visit to friends in New York. To-day he made the acquaint- ance of two men at Owney Geoghegan's in the Bowery, with whom he indulged in several drinks at his expense. He was then ac- companied to Brooklyn by his new friends While in Clinton avenue they ran him. into an alleyway, and after knocking him down they robbed him of $10O bill and two $1O notes. He was too drunk to pursue the thieves, and stag gering down the street was finally taken into custody by an officer. He was taken to police headquarters, where he began to howl and declare that his skull was broken He was taken to Long Island College Hospi- tai, where it was found that there was a wound behind his right ear that may have been caused by brass knuckle and that was not seriOus

The Bernhardlt's Debut at the Hub.
 BOSTON, Dec. 6.-Sarah Bernhardt's Boston debut this evening at the Globe Theatre at tracted a very large and dressy audience. The artiste arrived from New York at 8:O5 this morning very wearied, having been unable to sleep, but gained needed repose by rest from 9 till 5. At the latter hour she was awakened for dinner, immediately after which she went to the theatre. 'tHernani' was the play, with Bernhardt as Dona Sol A moderately warm greeting was extended on her entrance. As the artiste had little to do for three acts the audience did not grow absolutely enthusiastic till the love scenes with Hermann, but the magnificent acting in the burial scenes reused the assemblage and the star was twice re- called amid storm of ''bravos." Bernhardts 8 art collection will arrive tomorrow.

situation as though they had received no pro | tection at all Fifth, a protective ta- | riff disturbs the operations of the l primal law of trade which governs | all exchanges by the supply and demand of l the articles to be exchanged, and openly and shamelessly violates the principles that every man has right, subject only to government al necessities, to buy where he can buy cheap est and sell where he can get the best prices Sixth, the present protective tariff has driven the American carrying trade from the high seas by enhancing the prices of all materials which enter into the construction of vessels, so that American ship builders cannot com pete with foreigners engaged in the same bus mess. Seventh, protective tariff increases the possibilities of the crime of smuggling, which with our extensive water frontier and weak navy it is impossible to prevent, and by the commission of which the dishonest are made rich by violating the law and honest men are made poor by obeying 1t. Eighth, 8 protective tariff shuts out the American manufacturers from markets of the world. Mexico and South America are supplied with their manufactured goods by England. Our best interests demand that the protective tar if is wicked and should be broken down, that American skill and enterprise may have an opportunity of competing with foreign manufacturers everywhere. Our manufac- turers need more of an increase of markets by which foreign capital can be brought into this country than is afforded by protective legislation which takes money from one American pocket to put it in another. Ninth, to the end that the present tariff shall become one for revenue only the following changes shall be made: First, on all dutiable articles producing little or no revenue to the govern ment duties should be returned to the reven- ue basis or should be placed upon the free list; second, the duty on tea and coffee should be restored and to the extent that this duty produces revenue to the government The duty should be removed from salt and clothing and other articles indispensably nec- essary in domestic life.
 The bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee.
