the roads of this class is the road

Of its earnings. which were ample to

Let us see how the tariff logic of
the Times applies in the matter of
railroad transportation. Its theory
of q tariff is, that it is tar levied in
the interest of labor. Our merchants
pay the freight tariff on the merchan-
disc they bring in; the dealer in agri-
cultural implements the freight tariff
on the implements; the coal and
wood dealer the freight tariff on those
articles. The freight tariff on the
wheat, pork, butter, eggs. beef and
other commodities and products sent
away, are paid to the railroads by the
commission merchant, or dealer in
those articles, thus giving the farmer
and producer complete protection
and immunity against the high tariff
charges of the railroads. This is high
protective tariff logic applied to the
practical business Of the people, and
it is with such sophistry that the
protectionists think to delude the
people into the belief that tax is q
benefit, and the higher the tax, the
greater the benefit. But is it posi-
BILE to find person who buys mer-
chandise, wood, coal, or agricultural
implements and believes that the
freight tariff is not added to the price,
with perhaps profit to the person
who in the first instance has ad.
vanced it. And so with the products
sent out Of the county. The cost oil
the transportation tariff is added to
the article, reducing the price paid
to the producers and increasing the
price paid by the consumers.
The word tariff means tax, and the
ingenuity ofthe protectionists cannot
divest it Of its Specification, nor shift
the tax from the shoulders of the con.
sumner Of taxed articles, whether that
tax is imposed and collected at the
Custom house or at the railroad
stations.
