OF the tariiE
In such "a scheme all industries, Of
course, should stand on an equal footing
and in no instance should the powers OF
government be used to elevate one
above another. In other words, our in.
dustrial system must be considered MS
whole in which all who participate in 1t
share its benefits whether they are en-
gagged in one industry or in another.
One principle OF great Importance has
been kent constantly in view, and that
Il the line which marks the difference
in cost of producing commodities here
and abroad lin other words the line Of
compctition-alwayS and necessarily
above the point Of maximum revenue.
consequently to reduce the duties on
any commodity below the line Of differ
encc in cost, which stated is the line Of
eycn competition, until the line Of
maximum revenue is passed, necessarily
incrcases the revenues. On the con.
trarv. 10 raise duties from the line Of
maximum revenue, BY lessening impor-
