Why High PrOtectIOnists Are Afraid [
Face the Tariff Issue.

Why High PrOtectIonists Are Afraid to
Face the Tariff Issue.
The trouble with the opponents of
tariff revision and tux reduction is that
they are afraid to face the issue. They
evade it by denouncing every PROPOSE
ton looking to that end as "a step to-
ward free trade They know very
well that it is not contemplated in any
quarter to reduce the tariff below the
point at which the duty covers the diff
ference in wages paid by the domestic
manufacturer and his foreign com-
petitOr. In spite of their knowledge
of this fact they will nave nothing ex-
cept the war tariff which burdens in
stead of protecting American industry.
Because it is proposed to put lumber
and salt and few other articles on
the free list, the opponents of tariff re-
vision cry out that we are to have
free trade. They might as we'll
argue that because already a consider
able number of articles are on the free
list we have had free trade for
years. A Republican House of Rep
resentatives, voted in 1871 TO put coal
and salt on the free list, yet no one
ever dreamt of charging that body
with legislating for the establishment
of free trade" If it was not "a step
toward free trade" TO put coal and salt
on the free list in 1871 it can hardly be
argued that it is a different matter to
do that identical thing now.
Tariff revision and revenue reduction
are bound to come. The excessive tax
es amounting to at least eighty mill
ions of dollars annually wrung from
the sweat of labor must be abolished.
While the repeal of taxes on whisky
and tobacco would stop the increment
of the treasury surplus it would not
relieve labor of the taxes which op-
press it. Whisky and tobacco are not
necessaries of life. Hence, in order 90
disburden labor of the incubus of Fed
eral taxation the tariff taxes on articles
of food raiment, implements of hUs-
bandry and mechanics. materials Gar
boHse-building and the like, must te

to secure this reduction to coneeoe
to the opponents Of the internal rev.

tobacco. But this concession win only
be made for the purpose of assuring

fears. There will be no free trad=s'

tits not difficult to predict what the
bill reducing tariff taxes will be. The
condition of business and the necessity
of framing a measure that will pass
the Senate define the limitations which
will determine the boundaries of the
tax-reduction bill.
We predict it will be in substance as
follows:
First-The free list viii include all
the Ores-iron, lead, zinc. copper
and also salt, coal, lumber, wool, jute,
hemp, marble. stone and other raw
materials used in manufactures in this
country
This free list will effect a reduction
of about SI7. 600, 900.
Second-The tax on sugar will be
cut in two in the middle. THIS will
throw off $27, 900, 600. unless All in
creased consumption shall result from
the reduced taxation. 1t may, how
ever, be assumed that the receipts
from sugar will be so, 900, 900 less
than at present
4utiN 4 AC pa VII = Va II pm - t'i'S
upon the free list and the looping off
of taxes above so per cent will make
further reduction of, say, s.. 900, 600.
Fourth-There will be secured by
the changes above suggested dc
crease OF $40, O0O 900 in the tariff taxes.
Surprising that the scheme is 10 effect
a saving of $50, 600, 600, which is as
great a reduction as Congress is likely
to make, the contribution 30 the gen
eral reduction which the protected
manufactures will be required to make
will not be more than $40, 900, 600.
This can be accomplished by revising
the taxes upon. manufactures so that
the minimum duty shall b. 40 per
cent advalorem and the maximum
duty 60 per cent.
A minimum duty of 80 per cent. is
