TnE tariff question is not so fear
fully and wonderfully abstruse as some
Of the doctrnaires would have the
plain people believe It is. 1t can be be
logged by juggling with details, but the
abstract principles should be kept con-
stantly in sight, A primary principle
to be kept in mind is that the tariff is
o tax, and, as in the case Of all other
taxes, the people pay II. Keep your
eye on Judge Thurmans speeches. The
"Old Roman" is an experienced and
sucoessful lawyer and Judge, and
knows how to put propositions with.

that he fails 10 explain these statutes

Az we have before remarked, In com
mentlng on these sections ct q useless
law, they arc OF no practical benefit TO
the American manufacturer, but arc q
swindle on the American consumer OF

Why 80, do you askY We will ex'
plain, An Amerisan manufactures,
who has imported foreign material, Is
allowed a rebate when the article ia
shipped TO foreign market, but he ~
allowed no rebate II sold In the home
market, In other words, II he sells
abroad, the United States government
pays him back his duty, but II he sells
AZ home, the consumer must pay the
duty, This 10 a magnificent system of
robbery, and instead OF tending 10 build
up the home market II operates direct
ly 10 break down tho home market, II
Ia legislation In favor OF the foreign
consumer OF American manufactures,
and against the home consumer Every
man Of Intelligence can see this,
Touching this feature Of the protect
i've tarlif system OF taxation, q thinker
who has probed ita depths most deeply
and laid bare lbs inlquity most clearly
OF any writer upon tho subject, says;
"DrawbaoSa not only leave home
prices undimlnished, but while fruitful
OF fraud, can only In small part prevent
Encouragement OF exports, since II is
only on goods into which the dutiable
commodities have entered In large pro-
portion and obvious ways, that draw
backs are allowed, or that II Is worth
the while Of the exporter 10 attempt 10
collect them, In 1884, for instance the
United States paid out a larger sum
In drawbacks on copper, than was re'
ceiyed In duties on copper, Yet IL is
certain that many exports into which
copper entered, and which were there
fore enhanced In price by the duty, got
no drawback whatever And 80 Of
drawbacks on refined sugar, for which
we are paying q sum greatly In excess
OF the duties collected on the raw sugar,
though many OF our exports, such aS
these Of condensed milk, syrupa and
preserved fruits, are much curtailed by
these duties"
But II this inefficient back'action,
fraud provoking drawback device Is
such q thing Of beauty 90 II appears TO
the Major, why does he not advocate itS
application by rebate or bounty 10 the
return Of all antecedent taxes on domes
tic material, thus doing for them what
he alleges the drawback does for for
eignY The fact thatthe would short
ly be q period when there wouldn't bt
anything to pay the bounties with, and
tho further fact that Americans mean
while would be compelled TO pay enor.
nous taxes 10 enable our manufactur
ers to sell goods to foreigners cheaper
than 70 their own countrymen, should
not deter him. That's exactly aud pre-
clsely, 10 the extent OF its effectiveness,

SOMETHING THAT HAS PLAYED
OUT


Col. w. A. Taylor, who is perambu'
lating Ohio and writing letters 70 the
Enquirer, tells q yeryOgood thing that
happened in Springfield, Ohio, a few
days ago. We quote;
"a very prominent ex.momber OF the
Legislature from Clark county, In q
burst Of frankness today, told about
the trouble they were having over there
TO qot up the oldtime enthusiasm.
"a farmer from over In the west end
of the county" said he, called on me
the other day and remarked that some
thing would have TO be done TO wake
up the farmers In the Republican party
or the state would 20 by default. GO
and tell them, said l, that their entire
salvation depends on Harrison's cleo
ton. That II Cleveland gets in farm
products will sell for next to nothing,
That all kinds Of business will be
ruined; the pensions will be stopped;
that wages will drop TO nothing, and
everything will go TO smash"
aDid he 70 out and tell them that y
"Not TO any alnrming extent
"What did he say ?"
"IIe merely remarked: Tom, just lot
me tell you that that sort Of stuff 10
PLAYED out this year, and isn't any good.
We told them that four years ago, and
| guess most OF them believed 1t; now
they know that the whole DANCED story
| is a humbug. With better prices for
wheat, corn, hogs and cattle and other
things than they had under Arthurs
administration, they know thu talk
about Cleveland running the country Is
bosh. IL you fellows are going to de-
pend on that 10 win this year, you can
make up your mind right now that
Cleveland Is going TO carry Ohio"
