Ben Buffers Brave Words" I"
las Spoken Truly In 1891

Now, gentlemen there has been con-
siderable said on the question of the
tariff, and there is an attempt to lead
the workingmen to vote the Republi-
can ticket upon the ground that if
there is any change in the tariff there
will be lowering in the wages, and
they justify raising more than $780,
000,00 more than is necessary by tax
alton in order to have protection. l
am opposed to all that, and the as
sumption Is not true. I have stated
the matter precisely in my letter but 1
want to state it again to you working
men. A tariff or any other tax com
ing directly out of the people, out of
the prod ,cers, should be no larger
than the economical expenditures of
the Government strictly require, and if
any man undertakes to tax you more
than that, he simply robs you under
promise of law, and having got the
money badly he spends it badly. All
needed protection to American iudus
tries, all needed protection to Ameri-
can labor, can be had under such an
economic revenue tariff.
The tariff was made for war pur-
poses, in war times and as war tax,
and it ought to have been revised
fifteen years ago; yes, almost twenty
yeaes ago, certainly fifteen. Why
hasn't it been done.

"Unfeltn Taxes.

Gen. Harrison echoes the theory con-
cerning tariff taxes, that "they are tax
en- so indirectly and so subtly that
these, our plain people, don't know
that they are paying them at ALL
Very true, but this balance-sbeet at
the end of the year shows the payment
nevertheless. Does a man mott. feel
any payment OF taxes except that
which bears the tax.collector's receipt
Can he go on year after year paying
SAT tariff on every 800 of imported
goods that he buys and not miss the
money! Though he may "not know
that he is paying them," the loss is
Just as real.
1t is pity that the enhancement in
price by reason of the tariff of every
dutiable article sold could not be in
cluded in the bill. The consumer
would then see what they are paying
and would make short work of any
tariff that exacted from them $780,.
900, 900 year in excess of the needs
of the Government, which the politi
cal agents Of the benefciaries under.
take to spend in order to prevent re
duction of their bounties.
The tariff taxes $50 indirectly and
30 subtly" collected that the ''plair
people" may not know they are paying
them. But pay them these people do
all the same, as their mortgage plaster
ed farms and pinching economies ought
TO prove TO them. There are no sun

that no part of the protective system
is to be given up, it means that the

It was in 1868 that John Sherman
said: "Every advance toward free ex-
change of commodities is an advance
in civilization; every obstruction to a
free exchange is born of the same mar
row, despotic spirit which planted
castles upon the Rhine to plunder
peaceful commerce; every obstruction
to commerce is tax upon consump-
tion; every facility to free exchane e
cheapens commodities, increases trade
and production, and prom,tes civiliza-
tion. Nothing is worse than section
alism within nation, and nothing is
better for the peace of nations than
unrestricted freedom of commerce and
intercourse With each other"

Legal Age as an Eleotor.

A correspondent (E. R.) of the Press
inquiries of that journal as to his right
to vote. He says that he was born on
the 7tb Of November, 1867, and wants
TO know whether he can vote on the
9Th of November next, as he is anx-
ious to cast ballot for Harrison and
Morton. The answer of the Press Is
that he was "born one day too late"
Our contemporary inadvertently
does injustice TO both It's correspondent
and its party. A person born on the
7th of November, 1867, becomes
Of 20 years of age on the
9th of November, 1888. There are
no fractions of days in law except in
cases of execution liens, ETC., and a
person born any time between mid
night and midnight of the 7th of Nov
ember, 1867, will be, in law, 2l years
of age at midnight of the morning of
November the 6, 1888; and If male
citizen, can vote OH age at the election
on that day.
This question is raised every year by
more or less voters, and it has been uni
iformly decided that person becomes
81 years of age on the last day of the
2l years after the date of birth. If
there were fractions of days in law, the
case would be different, but there are
none except in cases specially provid-
ed by statute.
A promissory note dated November
9th and payable three months after
date, would become due on the 9th,
exclusive of the 8 days grace, because
it is made payable three months after
date. If the Constitution provided that
male citizens could vote twenty lone
years after their birth, the case would
be different; but it provides that they
shall vote, when they attain the age OF
2l years, and that makes them of legal
age on the day before the date of their
birth.-Iymes
