ufactured product resulting from this
policy not only confines the market for
these products within our own borders
to the direct disadvantage Of our man
ufacturers, but also increases their cost
to our citizens. The interests Of labor
are certainly, though Indirectly, involved
in this feature of our Tariff system. The
sharp competition and active struggle
among our manufacturers to supply the
limited demand for their goods, soon I'll
the parrow market to which they are
confined. Then follows a suspension OF
work in the mills and factories, a dis
charge Of employees, and distress in the
homes of our wOrkingmel.
Even fthe often-disprOved assertion
could be made good, that lower rate Of
wages would result from free raw mateTi-
ais and low Tariff duties, the intelligence
Of our workiLgmen leads them quickly
to discover that their steady employ
ment, permitted by free raw materials, is
the most important factor in their re-
laii0n to Tariff legislation.
A measure has been prepared by the
appropriate Congressional COMMITTEES
embodying Tariff refrom on the lines
herein suggested, which will be prompt
ly submitted for legislative action. 1t is
the result of much patriotic and unsel-
fish work, and believe it deals with its
subject consistently, and as thoroughly
as existing conditions permit. 1 am sat
isfied that the reduced Tariff duties pro-
vided for in the proposed legislation, add
ed to existing internal revenue taxation,
will, in the near future, though perhaps
not Immediately, produce sufficient reye-
nue. to meet the needs Of the Government.
The Committee, ailer full consideration,
and to provide against temporary deti-
cheney which may exist before the bus
iness Of the country adjusts itself to the
new Tariff schedules, have wisely en-
braced in their plan few additional in
ternal revenue taxes, including a small
tax upon incomes derived from certain
corporate investments. These new as
sessments are not only absolutely just
and easily borne, but they have the
further merit Of being gsuch as can be re-
mitted without unfayorable business dis
turbance whenever the necessity Of their
imposition no longer exists.
In my great desire for the success Of
this measure, cannot restrain the sug-
gestion that its success can only be at
tained by means Of unselfsh counsel on
the part the friends Of Tariff reform.
and as a result OF their willingness 20
subordinate personal desires and am
bitions TO the general good. The local
interests affected by the proposed reform
are so numerous and so varied that if all
are insisted upon the legislation embOdy-
ing the reform must inevitably fail.
In conclusion, my intense feeling Of re-
sponsibility impels me to invoke for the
manifold interests Of a generous and con-
fiding people, the most scrupulous care,
and pledge my willing support to every
legislative effort for the advancement Of
the greatness and prosperity Of our be
loved country.
