Of coming before your sub-commit-
tee for formal hearing on our Mas
sachusetts industries, | thonght the
best way was carefully to prepare q
table OF all the various industries,
perhaps some so or 20 in all. and
ask Brother Aldrich to go over
them with me, aud ascertain what
the people wanted in each case, and
II there were any cases where the
committee had not already done ex-
actly what the petitioners desired,
or had not inflexibIy passed upon
the question, could have a hearing
before you, but | find IN every irl-
stance the action of the committee,
as Mr.. Aldrich thinks it likely TO
be, is entirely satisfactory to the in.
terests ! represent. with the excep-
ton of one or two, and the papers
in regard to the cases have handed
to Mr.. Aldrich."
No stronger indictment Of the
whole protective system could DO
made than that which is uncon-
sciously carried in these words of
Uaited States Senator. that laws
which impose taxes on the great
masses of people must be written IN
language so technical that the most
intelligent citizxl cannot fully un-
derstand them, and that the rates
of taxation should be dictated by
the selfishness and greed of those
who are to receive the taxes. We
have believed that the first step
toward u reform OF the iif.should
be "a release of taxes on the mater
isls of industry.
There can be no substantial and
beneficial reduction upon the neces-
sary clothing and other comforts Of
the AmericaL people, nor any sub
stantia! and beneficial enlargement
of the field of American labor as
long as we tax materials and pro-
cesses of production. Every tax
upon the producer falls with in
creased force on the consumer.
Every tax on the producer in this
county is a protection to his COM
petitors in all other countries, and
so narrows his market us to limit
the Number aud lessen the wages of
those to whom he can give employ
ment.

enlargement of the supply Of his
raw materials, while primarily in
iuring to the benefit Of the mana-
facturer himself, passes under free
competition Immediately aud passes
entirely to the consumer, who very
soon gets even more benefit out of
it than such reductions seem to
carry, because with the rapid widen
ing of his market the manufacturer
Is able TO sell ut smaller profit. II
is. therefore, II very narrow and
short-sighted view which supposes
that we release the duties on iron
ore and coal and wool and other
like articles for the benefit Of those
who manufacture onr iron, steel,
WOODEN and other fabrics.
We are legislating for the great
millions OF consumers beyond them,
and for the scores OF thousands of
laberers to whom they may thus
give steady and well-paid employ
ment. 1t is no less narrow and
sbortsighted view that supposes that
removal of the tariff duties on
such necessaries Of Industry will in
fict any real loss upon those who
produce them in our Cwn country.
The enlargement Of markets for our
products in other countries, the in
crease in the internal commerce and
in the carrying trade Of our own
country will insure growing home
market for all these things that will
quickly stripanything they could
have under the protective system.
Iron and coal are the basis Of mod

that it has made arrangements with its
esteemed contemporary, the New York

These pictures are drawn by Leon Bar

best newspaper cartoons pub

their wit, incisiveness and their

its arrangement with The Press is able

, COCKRAN ASPIRES.

Bourke Cochran, the inexplicable. may
or may not be the mex. governor Of New
York. but he is creating some apprehen-
sion in the ranks of the Croker
ties. Mr. Croker's policy seems
to be OF the do as = you : please
variety, very commendable quality
when rightly used, but subject to abuses.
But rightly or wrongly used it has been
Mr.. Cockran's political Nemesis.
The brilliant congressman hrs
made numerous attempts to get
above the monial political position he
now holds, but his efforts have hereto
fore been unavailing. He does as he
pleases and what pleases him does not
usually please Croker and Croker's word
is law. Honest men cannot help
admiring Cockran's independence, but
there is no political remuneration in 1t
for him. Cochran is really worthy Of a
better fate.
