THE RICH FAVORED.

How the Tariff ssChInese Wall" Places the
Poor NJ the Mercy Of the Trusts.
When the tariff shuts ont goods en-
tirely IL Is always such goods rs poorer
people buy; rich people buy what suits
their tastes, Whatever the price may
be. An illustration of this Is found IN
our imports of carpets- The carpets
imported in the fiscal year 1890 came
in At an average value Of 81 10 yard.
The treasury report shows that the
average value for the fiscal year ended
June 30. 1891. was 81. 0s yard
But the report gives still more in
teresting insight into the workings Of
the Mckinley duty. Ono part Of il
gives an extended comparison. Of the
imports for the nine months from
October. 1890 to June 30, 1891, with
those Of the same months in the pre-
vious year. The Mckinley tariff went
into effect on October last year, and
the imports Of carpets from October
to June 30 were valued at 50. Al a yard.
The same thing is shown in cotton
cloth. That which came ia under nine
months Of the Mckinley law was
valued at 1sk cents yard Is against
II 2-5 cents for the corresponding nine
months under the old law.
These figures were gotten up By the
treasury department at the cost Of
much labor and money to show the
beautiful workings Of the Mckinley
tariff law. What they do show Il that
the rich are going on buying European
goods while the poor are shut up to the
tender mercies Of the home MARKET
plastered over as 1t is with tariff trusts
and com binationS
These figures explode one Of the most
deeply cherished superstitions Of the
high tariff cranlS They say that when
you put mp the tariff the foreigner will
reduce his prices in order TO get into
our market and in this way he will
paw our tariff taxes The figures just
quoted go to show that the foreigner Is
not doing any snch thing. They show
that he IS continuing TO sell high priced
goods to the rich people Of America,
while the poorer classes are simply
left.

During the debate on the tariff of
1889 James Madison, who represented
. portion Of Virginia, and was the
leader of his party in the house. de-
clared: II own myself the friend to .
very free system Of commerce. and
hold It rs truth that commercial
shackles are generally unjust OPP

that II industry and labor are left TO

which are the moro productive, and
this In more certain and direct man

lature could point out" Such were
Madison's views, and in view OF this
the high protectionists of to-day charge
that Madison was free trader.
Thirty-five years later Daniel WEB

was advocating his american SYSTEM

When Webster uttered such truths as
these he was tainted by Clay and his

hostile TO the best interests Of his
