Carlisle, In u letter said: "Since the
close Of ihe war more than four-fifths Of
the internal revenue taxes have been
abolished, while the tariff remains sub.
stlntially unchanged. Indeed, on many
articles Of necessity in common use
among the people. the rates OF duty IRE
higher now than during the war,
while ON nearly all of these duties are
much higher in proportion to the maj
ket value Of the articles than they were
then. Taxes on the vices and luxuri,s
Of people have been greatly reduced, or
entirely abolished; while taxes upon the
necessaries Of life and tools and implc
ments OF labor have been retained, and
in some instances increased under this
policy. Commerce has been obstructei,
the cost Of production increased and the
earnings Of labor confscated. Stability la
the laws affecting the industrial interests
of the pt ople is absolutely essential to the
continuous and rapid development of
our resources. But stability can be in
sured only by doing as nearly as pos
sibls exact justice to all, whose inter-
ests are affected by suoh legislation.
