GENERAL GARFIELD summed up the
average Western opinion on the tariff
question in speech made by him in
the house of representatives when he
said:
hold that a properly adjusted CON-
petition between home and foreign pro
duets is the best gauge by which to reg
ulate international trade. Duties
should be so high that our manutactur
ers can fairly compete with the foreign
product, but not so high as to drive out
the foreign article, enjoy a monopoly
of the trade, and regulate the price as
they please. This is my doctrine OF
protection. If Congress pursues this
line of policy we shall, year by year,
approach more nearly to the basis OF
free trade, because we shall be more
nearly able to compete with other
nations ON equal terms. am for "a
protection which leads TO ultimate free
trade. | am for that free trade which
can only be achieved by a reasonable
protection.
The changes and reductions the pres
ent tariff needs, and which are proposed
by the tariff reform bill, are those that
will fit it to the measurements LAID
down in the foregoing fundamental
propositions.

In 1888 the Church of England leased
to the crown piece of land for 800
years, or on what is termed perpetual
lease" The time has expired and now
the property reverts to the church
Here is a document in force, made
away back in the days of King Alfred
comprising millennium, less one year
and now after this long period the occu
pants must vacate. How strangely this
event links the present with the past
and what proof of the majesty of the
law and the stability of the Englisf
government.

SENATOR SHERMAN said in the Sen
ate january 23d, 1867
Every duty on imported merchandise
gives to the domestic manufacturer an
advantage equal to the duty, and to
that extent every tariff is protective
tariff. When the duty is so high as to
prevent importation it ceases to be a
tariff and becomes a commercial
regulation" So the general term a
revenue tariff" as descriptive of a
tariff, is deceptive, and is simply tauto
Iogy. Every tariff bill is a "reveDue
tariff"
True, all these bills are called
revenue bills" for nothing else is con
stltutional. The Constitution only
sanctions taxing the people for revenue
10 carry on the government, pay its
debts and provide for the general vel
fare, "but all taxes shall be uniform
throughout the United States"
Protection may be an incident OF
raising revenue by taxing imports; but
equal taxation should never be lost
sight of, and equal opportunities all
citizens are entitled to.

IT now comes out that if the direct
tax refunding bill had got through
Congress, another bill, the swamp land
bill, was ready to be introduced. 1t is
a bill which will take probably $2O,OO0,-
600 out of the treasury and give this
sum to different States on claims fol
swamp and overhowed land. These
claims have been worked slowly in tn,
interior department for many years BY
agents who get large percentage il
what they can contrive to collect. A few
schemes of this sort would soon empt,
