THREE DECEPTIONS IN ONE.

The one excuse which Democrats offer for
the Mills bill is that it will not reduce the aver
age rate of duty on dutiable articles very much.
To appreciate this shallow fraud, one has only
to remember that if thousand articles bear
duties averaging 40 per cent, go Of them
may be placed on the free list and yet the
remaining article may bear duty of Al per
cent. Then Democratic cheat may rise in
his place and say "Here Is practically no
change in the tariff on dutiable articles the
duties average exactly the same under this
bill as under the existing tariff" Wool and
certain other articles would be put into the
free list by the Mills bill, The plea that
duties on the remaining dutiable articles would
not be much reduced is simply deception.
But there is fraudulent misrepresentation of
the issue in two other respects. The reduc-
ton of duties on some articles, to the average
rate on all articles, would be enough abso-
lutely to destroy great American industries,
and yet it would scarcely affect the average
rate of duty at all Again, suppose average
duties of 40 per cent on 1000 articles, of
which 500 are substantially excluded by
duties which secure the home market to home
producers. Take off all the protecting duties
entirely, and the rate paid on dutiable articles
would not be changed. Reduce rates on these
enough 10 PROSTATE every establishment in the
country which depends upon their protection,
and yet the average rate collected on all art-
cles might be but slightly or not at all re-
duced. For instance, some woollens require a
duty of so or go per cent. let us say, and are
not now imported reduction of the duties on
those IN q per cent might DESTROY the woollen
industry and yet not lower the average rate
in the least
Then there is a third intentional deception
in ignoring the vast difference between specific
and ad valorem duties. The present tariff
imposes specific duties, woollens and cottons,
for instance, while the pending bill substitutes
ad valorem duties, the effect Of which must
depend entirely upon the success Of foreigners
in undervaluations. Opening the door wide
to fraud does not lower the nominal rate of
duty in the least. But it does offer large
reward to foreigners who swear their goods
in at only half their value, and so cheat the
Government Of half the revenue on them. That
is one Of the most dangerous provisions Of the
free-trade bill a provision which was DELHI
erately intended to insure the prostration OF
great industries for the benefit Of foreign i'm
porters. Yet II would not alter the average
rate Of duty on the declared value Of imports,
but would only hire foreigners to put that
declared value great deal lower, thereby
robbing the Treasury.
No man of practical sense will need more
than one evidence of the character Of this DILL

CONGRESS AND THE LEGISLATURE.

The Republican canvass In this State for
Congress and for the Legislature has already
begun in some of the districts. 1t is announced
apparently by authority that certain of the
present Congressman and Assemblymen-the
Senate holds over from last year-wlll not
stand for reelection. Candidates to take the
place of these members are being suggested
and their qualifications set forth in the local
papers In the Ist Oswego and in the lst
Chautauqua districts the conventions to nom
mate for the Assembly will be held this week
and many others will be called little later.
It is emnently desirable that the important
work of selecting Republican nominees for
Congress and for the Assembly should be gem
orally begun without unnecessary delay we
do not mean to urge that the conventions should
be called at an unusually early day, but that
our friends in all the districts, by giving ample
time to these preliminary legislative canvasses'
should place in the field Congressional and AS
sembly tickets up to the standard OF what our
National ticket is and our State ticket is sure
to be. All experience proves that the char
acter OF the subordinate nominations has de-
cided influence upon the fortunes OF the main
ticket Let the Congressional and Assembly
men, and it viii be all the easier to secure the
vote of New York for General Harrison and to
elect a Republican Governor.
The New-Yorl delegation in the List Con-
eress consists of Republicans and 5 Dem
ocrats. But the fact that New York is a strong
protection State ought to suffice, In case no
mistakes are made in the nominating conven-
tons. to elect still larger number of Repub-
licans TO the next Congress. The passage of
the Mills bill places the Democrats in many OF
the districts at a serious disadvantage. The
Rensselaer, Washington district, for example,
is now represented by Democrat. But the
Republicans, with the Mills bill in all that II
implies for campaign document and with the
right sort Of a man for candidate, ought to
redeem that district. The Democratic major
ity in the present Congress is a slender one, and
if the Republicans of New York and of the rest
of the country improve their opportunities, it
will be entirely wiped out in November in the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1888-07-24
