We have laws OF, our statute hook

We have laws OH our statute bucks
which make it penal offense for
pedlars to sell goods without license.
The reason is plain. Regular mer.
chants are subject to heavy public
charges in the way of taxes. and to
other charges such as rent, insurance
and their trade with others, all of
which inure to public benefit. The
itinerant merchant las none of these
things to pay, and unless he were
weighted with Il license fee he could
and would undersell the regular mer.
chant. 1t needs 10 argument to prove
that such license fees are right, that
it is for public benefit. that it is to the
benefit of the customer, even if lie has
to pay Il higher price for his goods.

but our laws are so modelled that the

Here are three examples of every.
day life and laws which cxemplify the
principles of protective tariff. Admit,
for argument sake, that certain classes
are compelled to pay Il bonus for
goods, which makes u profit for others,
the same principle is involved as when
one man pays another mans school
bills, pays the merchant more than
the pedlar. or is taxed to pay u bonus
for mill or new railroad. The Gues.
