Senator Plumb on the TsrI0.

In the discussion Of an amendment
to the tariff bill last Friday. reducing the
duty on earthenware and glasswaxs, Sen
ator Plumb Joined the DemocrAts IL at
lacking that feature 81 the bill.
He produced q letter from = merchant
doing business IN st. Joseph, Missouri, and
Atchison, Kansas, stating that on sn iii-
voice Of crockery he had paid that day
customs duty Of $3.50; that under the
pending bill the duty on the same invoice
would DO $3l.se, and under the Mckinley
bill, t57.1a.
The whole tendency Of civilization, Sen
ator Plumb said, was toward the reduction
of prices Of all products Of human labor.
To claim that the tsrlR had been the sole,
or main factor in the reduction Of the
prices Of manufactured goods was 70 ig-
more all the forces OF civilization. The
American people were entitled to have
cheap goods, II competition could bring
that about. When he asked, was the time
coming when the people Of the United
States would gst some benefit from the es
Establishment Of home industrlesl But Just
as fast as the point was arrived at when
lower prices might be expected, tho manu-
facturers came 10 Congress- and said that
they wanted more duties, whereby the
downward progress Of prices might be ur,
rested. The people Of the United States
ought to have their 'inning' sometime,
and he thought that time had come.
He believed In distributing tho duties
that were necessary for the purpose Of
raising revenue for tho support Of the
government In such . way ~ TO cqualizc
the conditions existing between tho manu-
facturers OF this country and those sht&4lS
II no were In doubt he would resolve that
doubt In favor Of the American manufao-
turers. But, IL he knew what the exact
conditions were, no would put the home
and the foreign manufacturer OH the same
footing precisely. He should be recreant
In his duty II he gave his support to such
proposition as the chinaware schedule.
The Senate, he continued, owed some
duty to the American people Ms well US 70
the manufacturers. There was point
where political sympathios ended and
where business interests tegan. The
Democratic party had its full share OF re-
sponsibility for tho iniquities of the pres
cnt tariff law and Of that which was now
proposed. The Democrats In tho House
had the opportunity Of correcting their
errors and wickedness Of the Mckinley
bill, but they had sought to evade the re-
sponsibility OF their votes, when by join
Ing with the Republicans who were OPP
posed to the bill, they might have elimi-
mated many of its errors. He could see tho
game Of battledore and shuttlecock be-
tween free trade aud protection constantly
going on, for political advantage On one
side and for personal advantage on the
other; between the two extremes tbs great
body of the American people were being
crushed and ground. He would apply the
rule that whoever demanded tax for his
own benefit should be ready to show cou-
clusively that his interest was also the
public interest The demonstration should
be made that every single penny of tag
proposed was absolutely necessary.
