Go. to inform congressional committee
what was the cost of the production of
Il commodity upon which a heavy pro.
tectiye tax was imposed against foreign
competition. Therefore, 1t becomes
impossible to learn with any approxi-
mate accuracy how much is needed for
protection, or how much is actually
paid in increased prices by the
great body Of American consumers.
But this is plain: That the protective
tax is absolutely antagonistic to the
receipt Of revenue. It's profit to the
favored beneficiary depends upon re-
slrcted importation, and restricted i'm
portation not only means diminished
revenue but equally restricted markets
abroad for American productions.
| Restricted markets mean diminished
demand, and that means diminished
, employment of labor and lower wages.
Thus tax laid for protection has no
measure, no limit and is incapable of
public estimation because private profits
cannot be compelled to be disclosed and
| individual greed has no known limit.
