New Orleans States "The in.
crease in the wealth and population
OF the young State of Nebraska is
marvellous. When that State was
admitted into the Union, in 1867,
the population was about 10000,
and the assessed value of property
about S2O,OOO,O0O. The population
is now over. 900, 900, and the proper.
ty valuation is sos, ,475; the taxa
ton is two mills On the dollar, the
bonded debt about 100000, and
the State holds 2,582,368 acres of
lands set apart for educational pur.
poses. Nebraska also has the adj
vantage of large influx of immi-
grants.

The Banner is, and has always
been, opposed TO ''bossism" in the
management of political affairs. 1t
believes in the sovereignty of the
people. It is opposed to all schemes
gotten up in the idea that the people
are, as general thing, ignorant,
and will follow any one who assumes
to lead, because it believes the PEG
pie are intelligent, and capable OF
deciding for themselves. After all,
it is the sturdy farmers and work.
ingmen who cast the majority of the
votes in this country, and the Ban.
ner is not in favor of smuggling
their voice. The only leader the
Banner believes in is the people, and
it believes their opinions are to be
regarded first, last and all the time.
This is Democratic doctrine, and we
never expect to be found wanting in
its unceasing advocacy.

Taxation for revenue only is a
fundamental maxim of all true liber.
ty. Taxation perverted from this
purpose to create bounties for indi.
viduals is a violation of right and
justice. A prospective tariff takes
the property of A to give to B,
when it exacts a tribute from one
to bestOw bounty on another, this
is despotism and tyranny. When
the taxing power is used to raise a
revenue for the government it is
just and legitimate but when it is
perverted from the purpose of reve-
nue. to the grant of a bounty or o
special privilege to a man or a class,
if done directly it is robbery, if indi-
rect it is a fraud under forms of law,
and the protective tariff adopted by
the Republican party twenty years
ago and continued in force since is
but bounty exacted from the citi-
zen to maintain a privileged class,
and this is oppression and tyranny
toward the citizen.
The result has been that wealth
flows in steady torrent from all
sections to the Eastern States and
theagricultural districts the South
and West are drained to maintain
and fatten the East.
The present tariff taxes the poor
heavier than the rich, by taxing
luxuries more lightly than necessar,
les and lays a higher duty on the
cheaper goods bought by the poor
than on the higher goods bought by
the rich. Diamonds pay 10 per cent,
or % per cent if set i'll gold, blankets
pay 20 to 100 per cent, the high
priced ones 20 per cent, a low priced
one 9S per cent, fiannels So to 50 per
cent, hats 90 per cent. Flows and
mechanic tools 45 per cent. This is
unjust. 1t tends to make the rich
richer and the poor poorer.

The Republicans claim to be the
friends of the laboring man. In
proving this, wesuppose they would
'spoint with pride" to the fact that in
adjusting the tariff they had placed
the duty on diamonds at ten pei
cent, so that when thelaboring man,
on a farm, say, at $15 for a month
has drawn his bloated salary Of
1915 at the end of week, he car
go 20 town and lay in his diamonds
at an advance of only ten per cent
on the raw price.

BELLEVUE, La,
THURSDAY, ::::::::::IANUARY Is, 1883.

When a tariff is levied for the
purpose of raising money to sup.
port the Government, it is called a
revenue tariff. When it is levied for
purpose Of helping individuals en-.
gagged in manufacturing, it is called
a protective tariff.
In one case it is taxation for the
public good; in the other for the
benefit of individuals. The high
tariff enacted by the Republican
party over twenty years ago, and
maintained ever since, has not been
for the public good, but for the in.
terest of individuals. The effect of
the tariff is always to increase the
price to the consumer of the foreign
goods, upon which it is imposed.
If o foreign suit of clothes costs
$40 without tariff, and duty of
100 per cent. is put upon it, it will
then cost $40. The importer brings
the suit to New York, where, with
out the duty. it is worth $50, with
the duty to be paid it is taken to the
Custom house, where he pays the
Government 100 per cent upon that
sum.
The suit is thus increased in price
to the importer, $40. When he sells
it he charges this sum to the pur-
chaser, 50 that although the import
er has frst paid the duty, it is at
last paid by the man who buys the
suit to wear. If the duty imposed is
reasonable, and put on imports so as
least to effect the laboring man and
common people, it is all right, but
this is not the purpose of a high tar.
i'll. The object Of q high tariff is to
prevent the importation of foreign
goods, and TO give domestic manu-
faCturer q monopoly Of the trade,
and thsresuit 10 he places on the
price Of his goods the amount of
duty, and when he sells, the farmer,
mechanic and laborer pays theprice
Ofthe goods and the amount of duty
to the manufacturer, and the Gov.
eminent gets no revenue. The man.
ufacturer does not pay the lsborer
any more because he gets this high
price for his goods, but he grinds
the poor labor down and does not
pay him q cent more for his services.
Under the false pretense of protect.
ing American labor the Republican
party has kept on the statute book
for twenty years the most oppressive
and odious tariff tax that robs the
people Of this country. It enriches
the wealthy and impoverishes the
poor, and il is the interest of the op-
pressed people of this country to
act with the Democratic party and
correct these crimes upon the peo-
pie.
