Defect In Mr.. Frye,s Plan.



Senator Frye was asked the othe,
day what the Republicans propose to
do for the relief of the national
finances. He replied: ave propose
to run this government on the re-
ceipts from protective tariff"
But what sort OF protective farifl
will yield receipts sufficient to "run
the government" The most elabor-
ately and scientifically protective tariff
ever devised by human ingenuity fol
this country was the Mckinley law.
In 1890, the last year before it went
into effect, the customs receipts were
1929, 668, 1874. During the next year.
to which only part Of the Mckinley
schedules was applicable, the receipts
fell off little more than ten millions
to $2l9, 522, POS. During the next yea,
they declined to $l77,452,964, and in
1894, when the full effects of the Law
were felt, the receipts sank to $751;.
818,530.
Now the annual pension payments
amount to more than that by many
millions, while the total annual ap.
preparations exceed $5OO,OOO,OOO.
Obviously if this country is to live
"on the receipts from a protective
tariff it must be q much more pro.
ductive protective tariff than any that
we have ever known.
