lated Its Pledges.
At a recent meeting in Boston. ex-
Governor Ames gave a caustic criticism
Of the Mckinley tariff. His speech ex
cited great alarm in the ranks of the
American Protective Tariff league. and
its secretary wrote a letter to the ex-
governor asking for an explicit state
ment of his views. He has replied in a
very long letter, Of which this is the
pith:
In the presidential campaign of 1888
the Republican party met the tariff
issue by the assertion that it intended,
if successful, to reduce the surplus in
the United States treasury and reduce
the revenue of the government by re-
ducing the tariff on imports all along
the line. but in such a way as to preserve
and encourage the manufactures of the
country. 1t claimed that this reduction
should be made by the friends of pro-
lection and not by it's enemies: other
wise the interests to be effected would
suffer.
On the issue thus presented we elected
a Republican president and a Republic
an house of representatives. But our
pledge was not kept in it's entirety. as it
should have been. Instead of reducing.
the tariff duties all along the line, we
raised them on many manufactured
goods that had adequate protection. |
am a republican AMI a protectionist, and
| believe that our revenue law should be
SO adjusted as to give ample protection
to manufactures, so as to insure good
wages to the workman and fair profit to
the employer.
But l do not believe in making the
rate of duties sc high as to exclude for
eign goods and give a manufacturer phe,
nomenal profits. and thereby so over
stimulate domestic production as to end
in ruinous competition or to cause that
reaction which tends to the abolition OF
all protective laws. which already has
so many advocates. Il am convinced
that the tariff of 1883 was in many in.
stances too high. and that the tariff Of
1890 in some Of it's provisions is still
more buTdensome than was that which
it succeeded. This is the error in legis
lation which | wish to point out. tx
which l more than once called a~ttentios
g while the measure was under considera
ton in the congress, and which | believe
did more to defeat the Republican party
in 1890 through consequent reaction
than any other act Of congress during
quarter of a century.
