HIGH TARIFF ARGUMENTS AN
ALYZED.

Mr.. MARTIN A. GEMUNDER, Of Colum-
bus. o., has lengthy communication
in the New York World in answer to
MesSrs. NEmRINGHAUS DOLCE, HAN
son, DoLAS and others, who have been
carrying on the high tariff side Of the
tariff controversy to which the World
has opened its columns. II is Mr..
GENUNDER'S opinion that the high
tariff advocates mistake or dodge the
real point at issue. He refers to the
Congressional Tariff Commission Of 1852,
before which Goa witnesses and state
ments were examined. amy one, " says
Mr.. GEMUNDER, "who has taken the
pains to review these pages and examine
the statements and claims Of protected
or would-be protected industries must
have been struck with the unanimity Of
purpose that pervaded them ALL" And
the argument Of the high tariff advo-
Gates Mr.. GEsiUNDER reduces TO this;
"Our business does not pay as well as
YOU think thought 70, A foreign party puts
up a superior article for the same price or
the same article at less rate than we can
furnish IL. If this continues we will be
driven 10 the wall We therefore pray
vCur honorable body will giveus the benefit
of your generous intervention and sup
port"
This is the argument Of the high
tariff men. THE honorable body" has
no power back Of it but the power of
taxation. Says Mr.. GENlUNDER:
The object Of its exercise, it is very
plain 10 see, is 70 obtain either greater
f 1rices for goods or 10 prevent a decline
T which is imminent. Every particle Of the
T testimony given discloses the sole and ever
. nresent purpose 10 not be reduction of
nrices. for to accomplish this requires no
protective tariff but compelling Of con-
sinners to give up increased rates in order
fhat there may be secured such profits as
tive think we ought TO have" Lower mar
bet rates are the furthest from purpose,
nd everywhere strenuously opposed and
Acclaimed against. The cry throughout is
