Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1893-02-27

The statement that the Democratic
party is afraid to undertake the revision
of the tariff Mr.. voorhees, pronounces as
an insult to the intelligence of the men
who compose the party. There never
were truer words spoken" he said, ethan
those used in the Democratic platform
to characterize the Republican party
policy. We have denounced it in our
platform as q robbery and q fraud, and
preached it from every stump in the
country. The senate is just as enthusi-
astic in the matter of the coming re-
vision of the tariff as the house can pos
sibly be, and is perhaps more set in its
purpose. We will assume all response
bility and are ready to begin tomorrow
if need be.
"All the intelligence and wisdom of the
country is not in the Republican party,
and when that party dies all wisdom
will not die, nor will all wisdom have
departed when its majority has departed
from the senate. The Democratic party
can be depended on to do two things
remove the unjust burdens of taxation
from the necessaries of life and provide
the necessary revenues for the govern
ment, The Republicans are prone to
talk of our mistakes, but theirs have
been crimes. If we were tyros in the
science of government we would not do
worse than they, but we will give the
people relief from the burdens with
which they have been oppressed since
the Republicans came into power The
vote of the people at the recent election
shows wherein they put their confidence,
and that confidence will not be mis-
| placed. New Age.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1893-02-27
THE CURSE OF TARIFF TAXES.


They Increase the Cost of Farming and
Burden Instead of Protect.
What folly to talk about tariffs rails
ing wages or being the cause of high
wages! Does passenger train make a
mile minute because it is propelled by
the Pullman sleeper attached to the rear2
Does a wagon run easier when one wheel
is locked?
Tariff taxes always lock the wheels OF
progress. They are so much dead weight
that has to be tugged around by the in
dustrial machinery. They increase the
cost of raw materials and at the same
time the cost of manufactured articles,
thus lessening the ability of manufac-
turers to compete, reducing the quantity
of manufactured products, lessening the
demand for labor and decreasing wages.
They increase the cost of farm inple-
ments and the cost of clothing and other
manufactured articles, and thus burden
the industries that they cannot protect,
leaving smaller rewards for farmers and
farm laborers.. They can protect only
few manufacturers by giving them in
creased profits, and mine and timber
owners by giving them increased rents.
All comes out of the wage Garner and
the unprotected industries in decreased
wages, lessened production, increased
rents and cost of living and greater cost
of raw materials. And yet we are told,
and it is believed by many intelligent
people, that our prosperity is due to tariff
taxes.
Look out over the civilized world, and
see if there is in practice any solid foun-
dation for this absurd belief None
whatever. Everywhere the compara-
lively high wage products undersell the
low wage products. The two countries
where wages are highest are Australia
and the United States. The chief prod
ucts Of both are agricultural, and yet
these countries supply low wage Europe
with farm products, grains, provisions,
etc. Of the Old World countries England
pays by far the highest wages. Her chief
products are manufactures, which she
sells not only in all the European coun-
tries, but even in India and China, where
wages are still lower. Not only is her
high priced labor more than a match for
the low priced labor of the Old World,
but her prosperity at home and promi-
nence upon the sea Gate from the time
she began with free trade and higher
wages.
According to the Mckinley Carnegie
theory, China and Russia and Spain
should with their labor run England out
of the markets of the world. On the
| contrary, we see that these countries are
all protected" by tariffs from England
Wages are not high because of taxes of
any kind, but in spite of them, and be-
cause labor is more efficient and pro-
duces more.
The first step to success is self asser-
ton and independence. 1t applies to
nations as well as to individuals AS
virtue brings it own reward, so do folly
and sin bring their own evils.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1893-02-27

poor out of a considerable part of their
earnings, and perhaps, when an anti
monopoly congress has smashed tariff,
monopolies and begins 10 legislate so
that the hard working poor will get an
opportunity to work and get what they
earn, it will be found that there are
other monopolies even worse than tariff
monopolies. 1t is satisfaction to know
that the ship of state will soon have Il
new set of officers, who will steer her in
an opposite direction from that of tho
past thirty years.-Byron H. Holt.

Pension Taxes and Protectiye Taxes.

There is scarcely doubt that one con-
trolling reason for swelling the amount
OF pension payments to the utmost limit
has been the supposition on the part of
leading protectionists in congress that
heavy expenditures would necessitate
heavy taxation, and that the protective
system would thereby be more firmly
fastened in the statute book by the fiscal
necessities of the government. The fact
that excessive protection operates to keep
money out of the treasury, turning it in
stead into private pockets, seems to have
been overlooked. Protection has been
carried to such an extent that almost any
plan of tariff reduction would tend to in
crease the revenue. This condition Of
affairs has not escaped observation. The
Chicago Tribune, the leading Republican
journal of the west, says that tens of
thousands of votes were lost to the Re-
publican ticket in November because of
the 1854 4,000,0 900 pension list. The Re-
publican party has been doubly wrong
in this pension business because it has
sought to intensity one form of unjust
taxation by authorizing another.-Phila-
delphia Record.
