The Tariff Question.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9-In the course
of General Rosecrans's speech on the
tariff on Saturday, he said: ''Freiphts
from Europe to San Francisco have been
as cheap as freights from New York.
Articles of consumption which the
Pacific slope people have had
were cheaper in the European
markets than IN the East, yet
when the national defense called
for a tariff which deprived them OF
these great advantages, they submitted
without a murmur f.; they took their
goods from inside our tariff line or ex-
ported them and paid duty to the
amount of S., 600, 600 per annum. Bot
our people regard the present tariff
syste IN as full Of injustice and oppres,
sion. They think it is building up
great monopolies aud special interests
at the expense of the great mass OF pro-
ducers and consumers, and could only
be justified by a sudden AID des.
pora.e national crisis. They have the
conviction that common justice and the
interests of the revenue have for the last
ten years demanded a thorough
revision and great reduction of duties.
l share fully in the conviction
of my constituents on the Pacific coast.
| think the tariff should be thoroughly
revised, smplified and reduced to the
lowest rates of duty which will pro
duce the revenue required for the actual
adminiss ration of the government and
reasonable protection Of labor. Any
legislation tending honestly to this end
vii! receive my cordial support. u ,es
the bill now before Us meet the de-
mands of the people? | answer, 1t
does not.
