The Inconsistency of It.

Our friend up The street thinks the
party of words will need no better en-
dorsement of their theory that the tariff
is tax than the reduction of the price
of sugar under the new law. There are
great many people who can't, and
there are some who for political purpose
don't want to, see the difference be
tween duty on articles that can be
raised or manufactured in this country
to protect them from the ruinous COM
petition OF cheap labor countries, or
tax on articles that cannot be produced
here. And yet there is vast
difference. One is a protective tariff
the other is a tar. One benefits every
branch of business, the other drains the
country of gold to send to foreign ports.
One creates demand for American
labor. the other does not
Take the case of sugar. For years
the government has endeavored to make
the manufacture of sugar an American
INDUSTRY. as sugar cane and sugar beets
can be raised IN abundance in the
United States. but repeated experiments
have demonstrated that the cost of pro-
duction is too great, and the output too
small to cut a material figure IN the
amount consumed Under the circum-
stances reduction in the tariff of sugar
was desirable, but in order that expert
ments with home grown products
should not cease bounty of Ii and 2
cents per 10. is allowed according TO
grade. That the reduction of from to
q cents will go to the importers instead
of being benefit to consumers cannot
be entertained under any rules of trade.
Already making fair profit under ex-
listing duties, when that is lowered the
wholesale and retail price must follow
to correspond; il not voluntarily then
inyoluntarily through force of competi-
tion.
But our friend Up The street says it is
inconsistent to increase the duty on tin
plate, flax and wool. while removing ii
on sugar. Let us consider q moment.
The increase of tin plate duty enables
our home millions to engage in the
manufacture of tin plate, thus utilizing
tin, iron aud coal of which we have an
abundance, and giving employment to
thousands of workingmen. This puts
money in the pocket of American labor,
while the lower duty on sugar lessons
the cost of an article he uses every day
in his family. We do not see any in
consistency in that. The increased en-
ployment of workmen makes greater
demand for farm products and better
prices for the farmer, who also saves :
cents on every pound of sugar used by
his family. We do not see any incon-
sistency in that 1t is estimated to
manufacture the tin plate used in the
United States will require each year

ONE of the planks of the Farmers
Alliance platform seems to have con.
siderable twang of the old greenback
party, simply substituting the word
silver for greenback. They want the
government to issue enough silver to
make the amount of money in circuia-
ton equal to $50 per head-douole
what it is at present. 1t would be in
teresting to know how the Alliance men
expect to be benefited without working
for it. Pleasant as plenty of money
would be, there are many reasons why
such policy would be disastrous. The
Treasury could not float such sum
without giving it awsy and that would
mean ruination of its credit, while the
effect would be similar to the issuing of
greenbacks during the war, and the
purchasing power ofsilver would dimin-
ish until it would take two dollars to
buy what one dollar will now.
