THE TARIFF:-.ARTICLE III.
Written specially FOR the Asaus.

Written specially FOR the ARsUs.
The tariff is tax. Fhe Moorish
tariff was tax on foreigners, the
modern is tax on our own people
heaviest on the poorest classes.
GA tariff for revenue with inciden-
tai protection" is q tax inasmuch
as it does not prevent the importa-
ton OF commodities upon which it
is imposed but high protective
tariff Is not tax. l yield the point.
A tax is intended to provide reve-
nue. for governmental purposes or
public expenditures. A high pro-
tective tariff is not tariff at adj.
The government gets nothing; the
manufacturer, all. 1t is practically
an embargo, nothing more nor less.
1t opens the way and gives the field
to the trusts and the combines of
manufacturers. Trusts and com
bines are confederated' monopoly.
dictatorlal in the matter of prices.
With the highest of high protec-
ton i'll the interests of his capital,
the manufacturer practices the
freest of free trade in the labor
markets of the world heuce the
Chinese nuisance on the Pacific
slope hence the European wave
that rolls up the Atlantic slope and
over the west sweeping away our
public domain. Neither Chinaman
nor European arc to blame. The
interests of protected capital invite
them, and they come. Whether
they forward the enlightenment of
the age or are a nuisance. to. the
free institutions of our fathers, ac-
credit their coming to- the "'Ameri-
can system" so-called, protection
mlscalled. The wares of the manu-
facturer are shielded from COMPETE
ton with the foreign output, that
Is, they are protected while, on the
other hand, the only thing the la
borer has to sell is his hard DAYS
work. The beautiful theory Of a
high protective tariff can do nothing
for the laboror. How can tired
muscle be protected? Exclusion
acts, and acts regulating immigra-
ton can do very little indeed. All
such legislation is reflection upon
the aforesaid American system Of
tariff deformity.
There is a practice that prevails
among ordinarily shrewd traders,
namely to'sell some one article, "a
bait, at O. low price. Somewhere
have read Of something Of that
kind. ] refer 10 the steel rail-its
selling below the protected price and
below that Of the British product.
That locks like a clever trick Of the
trade like a merchant Buying from
his own clerk. The steel rail doesn't
prove that high protective tariff is
not a.taE. The high protective tar.
IT, policy bears lightly on those who
indulge in the Injuries ofsteol rails:
It is not intended to be anything
like "a tax upon them But that il
il worse than tax upon those least
able 70 bear IL, is q problem OF easy
demonstration Until the benevo-
lence Of high protection comes with
its horizontal sweep Of low prices
for commodities consumed by the
poor, the argument Of the solitary
cheap steel rail is Of no logical force.

We wonder what the Philippi
Ptaindealer and Tucker Democrat
will say now about the Steno-
grapher in Court !? They can't
blame Judge Hoke for It anyhow.
He discharged W. b. Parkhurst,
the' Official Stenographer, and re-
Fused to allow him in Court longer,
till the entire bar at both places
petltioned the Judge to retain him
and signed papers recommending
Parkhurst very highly. This is a
handsome vindication for the ARGUS
IN the fight it has made in this
matter We do not wish to, crow
over our brethren and will close the
