MILLS OF TEXAS.

The Hon. Roger O. Mills is a thorough
going tariff-for-revenue man. He might
have written the tariff plank in the Chicago
platform which bis party has found too
impractical bic to be put in the form of law
Mr.. Mills has an article in the February
North american ReUielr. in which he de-
clares the first PURPOSE of tariff to be
to collect revenue. Inciden tally tariff
may be formed with a view to the
employment of labor, but such en-
ployment should be looked for as a result
of so cheapeDing the cost Of manufacture
that we may export largely rather than
from tariff to keep manufactured goods
out OF our own country. Mr.. Mills lets 60
Of a market Of which we have entire con-
troll and proposes scramble for markets
for which every nation in Europe is con-
tending.
Admitting that the necessary expendi-
lures of the Government are $500, 600, 600
year. Mr.. Mills proceeds to tell how that
amount of revenue should be obtained.
He would increase the whisky tax to 81 20
per gallon, which would produce S115, Geo.
GOO. He would double the tax Cd beer.
thus bringing the revenue from that source
to S6O,O00,000. He would double the tax
on tobacco and cigars, and thus obtain
Sc, 100000 from that source. An income
tax should produce S15.000,000, and from
miscellaneous sources should come $780,
100000. The total from home taxes would
be $3.50, 100000, leaving S150,000.O00 to be
derived from customs. But Mr.. Mills has
not got through with taxing cur people
yet. He would get this $50, GOO, 900 mainly
from duties on articles we must neces-
sarily import-tea, coffee, sugar and other
articles we do lot produce. All raw ma
terial be would have free. BY some pro-
cess of reasoning he has convinced him.
self that If our manu- iacturers had raw
material they would take common markets
away from European nations who also
have free raw material and cheaper lab Oh
than our own.
The vice Of MIR. Mills tariff theory is
that every source of revenue is from our
own people. He complains that under the
present tariff there are no imports of GER
tain articles, and consequently no revenue.
This is the case with whisky and cigars.
The duties on the foreign article are so
heavy that only high priced liquors and
cigars are imported. The rest is domes-
tic industry. No one but Mr.. Mills would
condemn policy which had such results.
On the contrary, the results should CON-
mend the policy. By making the tax on
domestic spirits and cigars the same as
the duties on foreign spirits and cigars
of like quality, Mr.. Mills evidently
hopes TO enable the foreign manufacturer
to get his goods into our maraet. lie does
Tot seem TO care where an article is pro.
duced so that il can be made source OF
revenue. The Wilson tariff bill he regard:
as step in the right direction. 1t is i'm
perfect to the extent in which the element
of protection is retained in it. but he con.
siders it step in advance trench, as II
were. from which further demonstration
hostile to American industries may be
made.
