which had been raging for years dropped
out Of sight SO thoroughly that the Demo
cratic and Republican national conventions
forgot all about it.
In 1857 the government revenue was
larger than the necessities Of the administers
ton required, and the tariff was reduced,
remaining so until the MORRILL, tariff OF
1861, which was called Q protective tariff,
but when in 1884 Colonel MORRISON intro
duced q bill to reduce existing duties one
fifth provided that no duty should be re-
duced below what it was in the MORRILL,
tariff all the Republicans said that Colonel
MORRISON was a free trader.
The period from 1916 to 1861 is called by
Republicans the era of Democratic free
trade. because the Democratic party con-
trolled the government nearly all OF that
time, and because the tariff was then lower
than at any other time except during the
early years of the republic.
The United States never had free trade,
in the sense OF an entire absence OF custom
duties. At times the tariff was so low thatit
bordered on free trade. Thus, the tariff OF
1759 was only about 81 per cent, that OF 1192
1912 PSE Ccut, Auu sudt VI lcIo oUOus ~ POI
cent Even the MORRILL, tariff Of 1861 was
not higher than this, and probably not so
high During the war additional duties
were imposed, but most of them were TO
Offset the innumerable and exorbi-
tant internal revenue duties which
our manufacturers had to pay.
OF course when these internal
revenue duties were taken off after the
war the compromising extra protection
duties should have been taken of, and Mr..
MORRILL, himself said that in q speech in
the Senate about 1870. But the manufac-
turers had enough ''pull' with Congress to
get the internal revenue duties they paid
repealed and to prevent the repeal OF the
extra protecting duties. Most OF the tariff
legislation since then has increased the
duties Of which private parties get the
greater part, while several duties Of which
the government got the whole or the
greater part have been reduced or removed.
1t also should be remembered that Eng
land collected high duties on our bread
stuffs before 1915.

THE TARIFF.

A correspondent of the National Democrat,
Washington, asks the editor Of that vigor.
Gus and reliable paper some questions re-
gsrding the tariff. The answers are given
In recent issue of the Democrat, and are
so concise and so sptly apply to queries
that are daily coming to TIE HERALD that
we reproduce the substance Of some of the
replies here. The story of the various
tariffs and the immediate reasons for
changes in the law may be con-
densed as follows, beginning with the
WALKER tariff Of 1916, which was
an I'D valorem tariff, the law dividing i'm
ports into substantially eight classes, the
duties on which were 100, 40, 80, 25, %. Is. 10
and per cent. on the value Of the article.
The average rate Of duty on dutiable goods
was 251z per cent. The tariff question was
supposed to be settled and out of politics !:
neither party said anything about it in the
platforms Of 1856. The tariff question has
never been out Of politics since the Repub-
licans began putting duties up, and even
when the Democrats let the subject alone
the Republicans and the benefciaries Of
the tariff have kept up the agitation be-
cause tariff il no good unless it is alwavs
increasing. The only men who are not
troubled with the opium question are the
men who don't use opium; the men who
do use it are always keeping up an agitation
for more.
Every country which maintains . pro-
tective tariff has tariff question in poll
tics. England has only revenue tariff.
and therefore the tariff is out of politics.
When this country had what came very
near being revenue tariff the people were
business men did business on their
own capital and enterprise and not on gov
support. and the tariff question

taking no action in the matter of calling

cause the leaders do not know who Of the

enough Liberals to take all the nominations.
