HOW THE GOVERNMENT GETS ITS MONEY

The government levies q tax upon arti-
cles we import into this country. and when
we buy these articles, part of the price we
pay is the tax collected OF them by the
government The custom house reports
show that SEQ, OO0, 900 was collected last
year in this way. But it must not be sup
posed that this sum, vast as 1t is, repre-
sents the actual cost of the tariff to the
people.
In the frat place the tax keeps growing
and growing, every time the goods are
handled till they finally reach the consum-
ers. An importer imports one hundred
yards Of cloth at 81 per yard. He pays
another 500 in tariff tax on il at the Gus
tom house, and finds that he can sell 1t to
to the middle man for $50. The latter sells il
to the retail merchant for $500, and the last
dealer must of course sell it for $3.50. When
you buy ton yards Of that cloth out Of the
store, therefore, to make yourself suit or
your wife dress, it will cost you s35. Its
nrst cost without the tariff was $40. Add
ing the same ratio Of merchant profits
frat, and you will ind that without the
tariff the cost Of the tan yards would have
been $3.50. Adding the tar 70 this, and
the price 10 $3.50. Butyo pay ss5. What
is this extra $50. and why do you pay it

In the second place, II you buy articles

for the only ''protection" that It Is posi-
BILE to have consists in the advanced price
Of articles that are not imported Every
one admits that the $40. 000. 900 II added
to the price Of goods We import but some
presume 20 far upon the oredulity Of their
hearers as to tell them that the price Of
articles not imported is not increased by
the tariff.
There cannot be two market prices for
the same article at the same time and N
the same place. The homo article will be
sold at the same average price a. the i'm
ported article, as long as the latter 10 i'm
ported. The value Of our domestic manu-
features is estimated at 5000, 900, 600
yearly. The average tax on imported
was As per cent, ard has
been increased by the Mckinley law 1t 10
safe to say that our manufacturers charge
one-third of the advanced price the tariff
authorizes them to charge, and IL they do
the tariff taxes paid In higher prices to our
protected manufacturers amount to 81 ,00O,-
100000 yearly. OF this the government
gets not one cent The true sum is proba-
bly, greater than this amount 10 pay it
requires twice the total taxes we pay to the
government. To pay oil the:burden i'm
posed by the tariff, then, will require the
labor of our 200O0,OO0 Of working people
for three months each year at 81 per day,
working twenty six days to month.

enue are from the internal revenue taxes

service. The Democratic policy is to re-
duce taxes by reducing the tariff rates, for
reasons that the foregoing exhibit makes
sufficiently clear.

DECLINE OF THE NEGRO

General F. A. WALKER, in his article on
the negro in the July Forum, does not give
much encouragement to those south that
ing Republicans who have been living in
the hope that the blacks would increase so
fast that in time they would outvote the
whites in the southern states and thus hand
that section bodily over to the Republican
party General WALKER tells of the pre-
siding officer of Republican state
convention who two years ago
sketched for mis- auditors growth
of the colered race in the United
States, which was to bring them, at no
distant future, to total Of fifty millions.
OF course, in great part, the extravagance
of this computation was due to omissions
from the colored census of 1870. which
caused very large apparent gain between
that year and 1850. But the unreality of the
estimate in question was also In part due to
the failure to note the consideration that
the natural field for the colored race is not
strictly, indeed, yet still virtually, circum-
scribed by climate and industrial condi-
tions. Now, there is much reason 10 be-
lieye that a race that is limited in its range
becomes, by that very fact subject also to
important restrictions upon its capabilities
of sustained increase within that range.
III the growth of the colored race is here
after to take place mainly within the cot
ton belt, it is safe to say that it will never
reach fifty millions, or a third Of that num-
Der.
The general goes on to say, that the co..
ored population maintsins its relatively
slight rate Of increase only by means of
very high birth rate, just little in excess
of a very high death rate This is q very
critical situation, since anything which
may occur to reduce the birth rate will
have no tendency whatever to reduce the
death rate Indeed, in the case Of an IN
trained and ill-developed race, any cause,
whether the diminutiou of marriage
or persistence in criminal prac-
tees, which diminishes the birth rate is
more than likely to accelerate the death
rate. Hence we may say that wherever
the industrial rdison d'etrs of the colored
man, distinguished as an economic agent
from the white, shall diminish in any part
of the country, this is not unlikely to be fol-
lowed by decline in this element more
rapid than would occur in the case of an
other element Of the population which had
been on lower birth rate but with also q
lower death rate.
The conclusion of General WALKER,
based on the careful study of the census
showings of the past, is that the negro
population will not keep pace with the
white race, but will continue to fall behind;
and that conclusion is the one enjoyed by
every intelligent observer, disappointing
as it may be to the politicians who love the
negroes for the votes the latter hold sub
ject 10 the dictation of the Republican
bosses.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-07-19

richer we shall become. Republicans fear
that other nations will make tho country .
dumping ground'' for their surplus
wealth; that they will ssfood' US with
their cheap goods, and that we shall not be
able to stem the tide Of the food Of good
things
Unjust not be supposed, when We say
imports are the pay for exports, that the
man who sends goods from this country re-
ceives his pay in the goods Of other coun-
tries. That is thedinal result of the tran
ssction, but 1t 10 accomplished by maze OF
transfers and re-transfers made by brok-
ers. Each man sells for "cash," which, in
International commerce is merely another
name for credit 1t is q slip Of paper, q
check. or letter of credit, which he can ap-
ply to the purchase Of goods to bring back,
or have 1t ''cashed" at any great bank, or
he can invest it in foreign business or
bonds. This credit Is good for Its face
value in any country in the world and is
transferred hourly by mail or telegraphed
from one country TO another with perfect
safety. Thus A in New York sends q
cargo OF wheat worth 81 900 to London,
through London bank he receives check
good for that amount on the New York
banks and he draws his money from one of
them. Then b in London sends q cargo OF
cloth worth 81, 900 to this country and re-
ceives check for that amount on Lon
don bank, and draws his money. Each
bank is thus indebted to the other to the
extent Of 81 600 and the accounts between
them are Cancelled. The wheat thus pays
for the cloth, tn ough it is not directly bar
tered for it.
When we export more than we import,
We can bring back the difference in gold
and silver, but IL will not pay US 10 do that,
for the purchasing power Of gold and silver
is less here than abroad. II will pay US to
invest it in foreign goods and bring them
in, or. If the government taxes the goods
too heavily, it will pay US better to invest
the money abroad. And this is what we
do, as shown by the reports of the bureau
of statistics.
From 1870 to 1869 we imported
$685., GOO, 900 more wealth into this
country than we sent out making this
country that much richer, of course. We
paid for this in credit slips of paper called
bills of exchange. These could best be in
vested in the country that issued them, so
that they were sent back to this country
and invested in American railroads, the
foreign owners drawing only tie interest
on their investment.
Since 1876, under the Republican policy
of keeping out imports, we have sent away
81 $50, 0C0 600 more in wealth than we have
brought back. We were paid for this in
leash" it is true, but not in gold and silver.
This ''cash' was credit slips of paper
which our citizens invested in England,
Germany, Russia and other countries.
Since ls49, we have also sent abroad 81 ,532,
0O0, 900 of the gold produced in this country
and invested the credit received for it in
foreign countries. We did this because
the tariff lowers the purchasing power Of
gold in this country, so that in many lines
it pays US best to invest it abroad.
