Speaking of the tariff, the New
York sur asks these searching ques.
tions: 81. Why has the depression
in agriculture been so severe, and
why does it promise to be lasting in
Great Britain, free trade country ?
2. Is it the Morrill, tariff or the Nc.
Kinley tariff that is the cause of the
short crops in Europe this year, 8
Why do trusts and monopolists ex.
ist and flourish under the regime of
free trade as in Great Britain 7 4,
Why have the greatest fortunes
made in the United States been
made outside of the great protective
industries Z" AS illustrative of the
fourth interrogatory, it may be stat
ed that the tariff has not prevented
such reformers as the Baltimore Sun
and the New York Times from &C
cumulatlng millions of dollars under
an Associated Press monopoly. II
the so called tariff lords ARE max
ing so much money, what is to pre-
vent any man with surplus capital
from sharing in the spoil? The
tariff may be very wrong, in some
spots, but the press and political de
nunciations of it are often wild, I'M
just and extravaganza Catholic
Mirror.

WORKING FOR FREE FOREIGN
TRADE.

Experience has now demonstrated
the futility of attempts to satisfy the
selfstyled tariff reformers by any
concession short of absolute free for
eign trade and its necessary adjunct
of increased taxation on the proper
ty and business of the country.
Proof of this may be found in the
history Of every revenue measure
enacted since that Of Washington
and Madison in 1889.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Mckinley law placed more articles
and greater values on the free list
than any other legislation since the
Walker tariff of 1876, the existing
law is more violently assailed than
any of its predecessors, and the old
charge of discrimination in behalf OF
capital and against the interests OF
the masses is repeated with great
JUNCTION as if its falsity had not been
verified by UNMARRIED experience dur.
ing a quarter of century.
The tariff of 1888 placed the full
line of spices, a long list OF chemi-
Gals and other articles on the free
list, while it considerably reduced
the duty gu woods and woolens, iron,
steel, lumber and their varied man
ufactures. But all this to no avail
so far as giving comfort to the al
ways uncomfortable free trade at,
torney, who went on quoting the ad
valorem equivalents OF falling prices
to mislead unthinking voters into
the belief that no considerable re.
duction had been effected. The
same is true of bis present attitude
towards the Mckinley tariff,in which
even greater concessions have been
made. No credit is given for tax.
ing s50,0o0,O00 per year off of sugar,
Sc per ton from the tariff on steel
rails, and for reductions on many
other articles of equal ratio. These
seem unworthy of notice, while the
fewer instances in which increase
was made are forced into service to
assist in dIscreditiug the entire law,
and demanding its early repeal in
the interest of foreign manufactu
rers.
The lack of candoI in these dis.
cussions Of the tariff law is made
conspicuous by the appeals of free
trade attorneys to the credulity oil
their bearers. Along with the
hourly discredited charges that the
amount of tariff is ultimately paid
by consumers, 90 other equally
untenable theories and assertions
that every business man IN the
country knows to he false. Nearly
every merchant IN this country is
selling tariff protected goods as
cheaply as similar articles can be
bought in amy part of the world, and
some of these articles are sold fol
less than the tariff would be if i'm
ported. To ask these men to believe
that the tariff is tax on consumers
in this country is to credit them
with less business sense than should
be looked for among the inmates Of
founding hospital. The voter who
will not post himself with facts sc
readily accessible may find it profit.
able to look about him for proofs of
his right to a voice in shaping the
business policy of the country, for
well grounded suspicion of his CON-
potency is likely to be aroused among
his more intelligent nelghbors.
