The Tariff on Luxuries.

Our tariff reform contemporary, the
News, seems greatly elated because a
wealthy gentleman OF the city, MIR. W.
G.. Cowles, on returning from his
European trip found the cost Of some
fine Dresden ware, purchased abroad,
considerably enhanced by the duties
paid ON landing. We do not know that
there was ever any denial of the fact
that the price of Injuries purchased
abroad is increased to the purchaser by
the tariff. If a man like Mr.. Cowles
desires imported Injuries be is able to
pay for and enjoy them. It is the
intention of the protective tariff laws
to make those who can afford such
things help pay the expense of the
government.
1t is Republican principle to levy
tariff duties to accomplish three things;
First, to admit free such necessaries
of life AZ we cannot produce here.
Second, to levy protective tariff
sufficient to equalize wages on those
articles which can be manufactured
here but which under free trade would
be manufactured abroad because Of
cheaper labor there.
Third, to levy revenue tariff on
such luxurles rs are not produced here
to the end that the wealthy who pur-
chase them may help support the
government.
by the first the poor get their neces-
saries of life like sugar, tea, coffee,
etc., az cheap as it is possible to buy
them anywhere in the world.
by the second manufactures are
! built up here, wages kept higher than
abron,., and by giving a big home mar
ket to the mann, lecturers many articles
are sold not only cheaper ~ ~" 'ou'u
imported articles be If there were no
tariff but actually for less money thar
the amount OF the tariff itself.
BY the third such cases as Mr..
Cowles' fine Dresden ware are covered
and the burden falls lightly on those
who bear IL.
The difference between such an
equable arrangement of the tariff as
the Republicans propose and tariff
for revenue as Democracy demands is
that in the latter case the tariff would
be levied flor money must be raised to
run the governmentl regardless of
necessaries, luxuries or home market.
1t would simply raise so much money "A
year, bearing on the poor mans neces.
saTies at the same rate as on the rich
mans luxuries. The result would be
four fold: A saving to the rich man on
his Injuries; increased prices to the
poor man on his necessaries; lower
wages or loss of work to the poor man
by reason OF unrestricted foreign COM
petition. aud loss of market for our
farmers, stockmen and produce raisers
by reason of there being fewer employees
engaged in manufactures to DO fed
and clothed aud those employees less
able financially to live well and buy the
products of the rancho, garden and
farm.
A candid, careful comparison Of the
two system of tariff cannot fail to con.
vince any man that the Republican
principle promises the greatest good ia
the greatest number and is the princi.

1t is amusing to hear some who were
hit by the clear, ringing sentences of
Governor Foraker going about town
calling him the Fire Alarm" He
need not be ashamed of that distinc-
tion. He has on several occasions
sounded the alarm and it is compli-
mentary to him that even Democratic
President needed his alarm. He said
that the flags captured by Ohio troops

assertion and so heartily WAS 1t en-
dorsed all over the North that President
Cleveland revoked his famous (Yl

Foraker for that alarm, which fright
ened him from surrender to the
Southern Gre eaters, but Foraker could
endure such displeasure especially
when he had all Of the loyal North

opportunity for a joint discussion, lie
