seaaror voorhees, lind addressed
the senate en- the House tariff
blll. which he characterized IS
financial monster every claw and
tooth % which lad beea carefully
inspected in tho lobbies ant found TO be
squad ana reliable. II was only in an
impure political aRd moral atmosphere
generated by a corrupt monopoly OF
wealth that financial measure
ike the one now pending would
1are 20 show the hard out
lines of It's guilty face; much less would
10 expect 20 be treated with respect,
spoken well Of snd pressed as a law.
Passing 20 q criticism OF the details OF
the bin senator Voorhees, spoke OF IL as
Az astonishing fact that In the fourteen
schedules of iutiable articles the only
,eluctions made were IN the schedule
-elalng ~ sugar aud m0lasses
(which. ia the light Of the pro-
posed bounty 20 sugar planters, was
40 reduction az all), and in the
section relating 10 wines, spirits and
other beverages. In every ono OF the
twelve schedules the tariff taxes had
been Increased. IL regard 10 woolen
goods that increase amounted 10 SIS
)00. 900 a year. There was no preten-
sion. Senator Voorhees, said. that that
Increase was put on FOR the sake of rev
enue. 10 was simply an instance of
protection run mad and developed into
a Chinese vail Of prohibition.
Senator Voorhees, spoke Of the mag
nifcent diamond presented by Andrew
Carnegie 20 Stanley's bride. The farm
srs of the United states. be said. had
paid for that diamond ten thousand
times over in the last twenty years by
paying an average duty OF over So per
cent. or every article of iron and steel
shat they used. and by paying
increased rates OF railroad freight
made necessary by tho high duties on
steel and iron rails and rolling stock.
The farmer at last, he said, paid for all.
Il the pending bill became law they
Nould have an increase OF duty to pay
,u iron and steel.
Senator Voorhees, passed on TO the dis
,ussion OF the proposed increase of l2O
per cent. on tin plate, in order 70 pro-
sect an infant industry as vet unborn.
Tia plate. he said. bad the first right TO
be On the free list. and he would, at the
proper time. move 10 put IL there.
With sugar on the free list an annual
revenue OF $50. 900. GOO was abolished.
but other schedules increased duties 10
she amount Of s65, O9o, 900. But IL the
bounty ot two cents a pound on the sugar
produced in the United States should
result (as its friends urged it would in
the production of all the sugar con
mmed here. then. according 20 the last
statistics, the American people would
6rd themselves paying an annual sugar
tax Of Sol SIS GOO under the masquerad
ing. fraudulent process Of so-called free
sugar iu alliance with high protection
and gross subsidy.
lie went on 20 say that all the inter
nal revenue taxes on manufacturers,
brokers' and dealers, bank checks and
Incomes had been swePs away, while
duties on trace-chains, tin buckets.
flannel shirts and the like had had a
manifold growth According 20 the
present rate OF taxation on farms and
m workshops the war was still raging
and costing more than ever before.
Who the asked) would dare stand
before the country and say that tho
party who bad been so long in control
3f the Government had dealt fairly with
the people on that subject2
In conclusion be declared that IN.
battle for liberty. justice and equality
would be fought out in every part OF
the field. but that atno point was victory
moro essential than where fosted the
banner OF tariff refo-m.
