The Abbevllle Press and Banner.
In Offering suggestions for the APP
preaching session Of the Legislature,
says; . a...g,, .uf..s
''South Carolina being q free trade
State 1t will now be in order for the
Legislature to repeal the ,lnconstitu-
|tional act whereby the capital invested
In cotton factories Is exempt from taxs
ation.''
Free trade has nothing to do With the
question. The protective tariff levies 4
tax on all imports for the purpose Of
keeping them out and giving home
manufactures a monopoly. 1t is in
tended to protect home Industries
from the competitions Of foreigners
and to force the public to. buy home
made goods at higher prices than the
foreign goods can be bought for. It
robs the people by compelling them to
pay more than they ought to BAY for
things necessary for their comfortable
existence.
The tax exemption encourages
home manufactures by decreasing the
cost of their production. 1t leaves the
market open, but enables the cutton
manufacturer at home to make and
sell MS goods aC less cost ChAn ne cOuld
do if he paid full taxes, the public re-
ceiving the benefit Of the reduction.
The exemption Of the mills does not rob
the taxpayer as the mills are newly
created values which had no previous
existence and have heretofore paid
nothing. 1t benefits the taxpayer be-
cause it encourages the building Of fac
tories, which. at the expiration of Il
short time, become taxable, adding
large sums to the taxable values and
relieving all other property Of much OF
it's share Of the burden Of supporting
the government and paying the debt.
