Tax Policies contrasted.

Hon. Thomas +. Bayard, Of Delawsae-- nd
dressad a monster Demor-atsc meeting IN
p-aoLI,,,, N r., recently, and delivered one
nfI; .:,.ijterly speeches. Here is an extract
Turn, now, to the Republican policy and
plan of protectionism as opposed to the Demo
cratic system of imposing taxes for revenue
only.
Protectionsm is for the promotion of the
private interests of its benefciaries Who
determines the rate of the protective tax !?
Who decides its necessary amount? What
sum will be sufficient to protect? The bust
ness to which it relates is private aud indi-
vidual; the sources OF such information are
not public. Within few weeks we have
heard the peremptory refusal of the manager
of the great firm of Carnegie Il Co.. to inform
a Congressional committee what was the cost
of the production of a commodity upon which
il heavy protective tax was imposed against
foreign competition. Therefore, it becomes
impossible to learn with any approximate
accuracy how much is needed for protection,
or how much is actually paid in increased
prices by the great body of American con-
sumers. But this is plain That the pro-
tective tax is absolutely antagonistic to the
receipt of revenue. Its profit to the favored
beneficiary depends upon restricted importa-
ton, and restricted importation not only
means diminished revenue out equally re
stricted markets abroad for American pro-
auctions. Restricted markets mean dimin =
shed demand, and :hat means diminished
employment Of labor and lower wages.
Thus Il tax laid for protection has no meas
ure, no limit, and is incapable of public est
nation because private profits cannot be
compelled to be disclosed and individual
greed has no known limit. King Solomon
told us of four things which say 1t is not
enough, and were he alive today he would
add -nrtla=-sri.ssl
class according to the gospel of Mr.. Mckinley.
Thus before the American people are dis
played the autagonstc principles of two sys-
TENS of taxation-the Democratic principle
of tariff for revenue only-a definite and
public end for an asceriainable amount regu-
lated and in harmony with the commercial
and agricultural industries of the entire body
of the American people; the other, protec-
tionism for an underlined object, for individual
profit, dictated by its beneticiaries and linn
tied only by their discretion. The tax for
revenue is a legitimate aud just burden. The
tax for protection is antagoHistic to revenue,
and is simply favoritism or State socialism,
adverse to the liberty of the individual and
fatal to his equality before the law. 1t is
arbitrary in its nature and therefore corrupt.

For Congress,
j. FRED. C. TALBOT,
OF BALTIMORE COUNTY.
.- Election Tuesday. November s, 1892.
Are the People Contented?

Protection has wrought wonderful pros
pcritv, say the advocates Of high taxation,
and the people are thriving and contented'
1t has enriched the favored classes at the
EXPENSE of the masses. The consumers,
particularly the farmers, have been grow
ing steadily poorer for the past twenty
years. Take the country over and one
third of the farms are mortgaged. The
aggregate of these mortgages about meas
ures the prosperity of the protected manu-
iacturers. and accurately marks the financial
decline of those engaged in agricultural
pursuits. Prices for their whea9 corn
cotton, beef. pork and tobacco, are liked IN
London. in competition with the world.
Their supplies are purchased in the dearest
markets. because high taxation shuts out
competition from abroad, and trusts and
Combines control the home markets and iiX
nrice, in accord lnce with their greed.
Is the farmer prosperous? Is he con
tented The abandoned farms in New
England. and in Kansas, where there was
no hope of liftirg the mortgages are strong
witnesses against the declaration OF pros
perity. while the vast amount OF land IN the
market. the great decline in price and the
disnosition of Young men to leave the farm,
are facts in opposition to contenhnent.
Are the workingmen prosperous and con
tented?
Protection was invented for their bene-
fit, so proclaim the apostles of that policy.
If it contributes to raise wages the work
ingmen should now be enjoying the highest
degree of prosperity they ever knew ifs is,
we are living now under the the founda.
tective tariff eyer hIent
ton q drds have been offered for the la
borer whose wages have been increased
under the operation of the Mckinley bill,
but none have been found.
On the contrary there has been almost
war in three states because of the attempt
to reduce wages, and strikes, Iockouts and
shutdowns. are stern proofs that labor is
neither prosperous nor contentcd.
Unless taxation is lowered and lairer
trade relations with other countries are
made, by which wider markets for our sur
plus agricultural products and for onr man
ufactures are opened, there tan be neither
prosperity nor couteutment We shall 20
ON until we become completely divided into
millionaires and paupers.

In Thorough Accord.

Harrison and Reid are in thorough ac-
cord with their party on the necessity OF
federal control of elections through parti-
sans holding life positions. or as long a
they manipulate the election machinery in
the interests of the Republican party
During the pendancy of the Force bill in
the Senate the President used all the power
of his position to force it to passage. Mr.
Reid, through his paper, the New York
Tribune, was warm supporter OF the
measure, and declared that Congress had
delayed too long in the performance of a
paramount and sacred duty of placing the
bill GA the statute book In another arti-
Gle he said "the election Force bill car
ries within itself the assurance of future
tariff bills by the hundred The friend
and supporter of tariff lords, monopolies
and trusts, he was seeking to enlist them
IN behalf Of the bill, by assuring them that
a hundred tariff bills were behind it.

Was 1t Treason ?

The strikers at Homestead against reduc-
ton of the wages promised to be secured
to them in the Mckinley bill will not relish
being told by Chief Justice Paxson, of the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court, that they are
guilty of treason. 1t was treason to the
State says the Judge, to take the steps they
did to uphold their wages. The Judge does
not discuss the tariff rate on steel, the fact
that it was made professedy TO enable Mr..
Carnegie to pay higher wages, nor the rob
berry the tariff law enables the tariff lord to
practice on employees and consumers of steel
everywhere in the Union. That was alimde
because Congress failed to provide the ma
chinery by which the employee could collect
from the protected employer the full amount
of the tariff duty. What Judge Paxson sees
ia the violence used to intimidate non-union
wofkmea and to prevent the mill owners
from doing as they liked with their property.
The Mckinley act needs amendment.

Among the visitors to the Republican
national headquarters in New York on
Friday of last week, was Major Alexander
Shaw of Baltimore. The Major told the
committee that four and possibly five con-
gressional districts in Maryland would elect
Republicans in November. Everybody in
Maryland knows the Republicans will not
carry more than one district, the sixth, and
this is by no means certain. In fact the
Democrats clsim that they will carry the
sixth. In the other five districts, no can
did nor well-imformed Republican believes
his party has chance of success in any of
them. Ifthe information from other states
is like that given concerning Maryland by
Major Shaw, Republican calculations will
be very wide of the mark.

The eloquent Chauncey Depew told Il
Brooklyn audience last Saturday evening
that clothes were cheaper in this country
than in Europe.
If this is true it is singular that every
person that visits Europe brings home as
many clothes as the law allows
If it is true, this fact shows that the
wealthy tourists, for nearly all tourists are
wealthy, prefer to patronizc the ''pauper
labor" of Europe rather than the intelligent
labor of the United States.
And if it is true, why so high Il tariff on
all goods that are used in making clothing?
