Higher taxes on imports will make

The manufacturers who have put ND

When the Mckinley tariff is restored

McKinleyism was thoroughly tested
from September, 1890, to August,
1894. During half of that period the
country suffered from the worst panic
in its history; trade and industry
we're at standstill, factories and mills
we're closed, and millions of workers
and farmers brought almost to ruin.
It Is fair to assume that the effect of
protection in the future will be the
same as in the past. If.so, how will il
help youi
Protection is a scheme devised to
make few persons rich at the expense
Of the masses. II You are one of the
common people, think these things
over and ask yourself: GLOW will
higher taxes and restricted trade help
me?"

McKinleY's Personal Organ Con.
dennis Restrictive Taxes on Trade
Between States.
The Chicago Times Herald is an ex'
ponent Of the most rabid sort Of Mo.
Kinleyism, and has industriously
doomed the Ohio Major for President.
As an exponent OF high tariff policy
which imposes heavy taxes on goods
brought into this country from Gan.
ada on our Northern boundary or
Mexico on our Southern line, that
paper has dilated on the beneficial eff
fects Of taxing trade, and has insisted
that this country's prosperity de-
ponds on the amount of taxes levied
on commerce between the United
States and other Nations. Yet while
fayoring Q system of taxes on interna-
tional trade, which might just as log
ically be applied to interstate COM
merce, the Times Herald argues d.
rectly against its own trade restric.
tion theories in commenting on the
decision of the Mexican Government
to abolish all taxes on trade between
the different Mexican States. This is
what the chief McKinleyite organ has
to say IN favor of freer trade:
"After twenty-five years Of promise,
the politicians of Mexico declare they
will at last fulfill the assurance to the
thrifty portion of the people that in
terstate customs duties shall be abol-
ished.
"Mexico is composed of twenty
seven States, two territories and q
federal district. Each State has
hitherto taxed imports from its neigh
Dor as Paris taxes the produce of the
neighboring country entering the
municipal boundary. The interstate
taxation of Mexico has been one Of
the stubborn causes of its slow devel-
opment. The governments of the
States have been chiefly sustained by
excise duties levied on all foreign and
domestic merchandise, and by some
direct taxes. The city governments,
sustained in part by direct taxes, have
received, in many cases, q percentage
of these duties. The result has been
discouraged production.
abolition of interstate duties will
stimulate industry and induce capital
TO undertake q more comprehensive
activity. Over many of the infant in
iustries of the country the interstate
taxation has been as pronibitive as the
sdict of SPAN by which silk culture,
sxisting as far back as the time Of
Charles v, was destroyed"

TAXES TOO HIGH NOV.
AND YET THE EKIELEYITH
WOULD ADD TO THE BURDEN.

Reduction OF Expenses In An
Branches OF Public Service, and
Not Increased Customs Receipts.
10 What Il Needed by the 20, o0O. :
600 Americans.
The MoKinleyites say they want
more protection so that the tariff viii
yield enough revenue for the expenses
of the Government They forget that
there was . much better and easier
way of making receipts and expendi-
lures balance. This was the cutting
down of the extrayagsnt appropris-
tions from the figures set by the Bill
lion Dollar Congress of 1890. and
which the subsequent Democratic
Congress reduced a little, but not
enough. II the Republicans had been
sincere in their professions of desire
to have 9 tariff which will give album
dant revenues, they should have re-
fused to appropriate millions Of dol
lars for useless and corrupt purposes.
Reduction Of expenses, and not in
creased customs receipts, was the sure
and simple remedy for the Treasury
deficit.
1t Is time for the American people,
without regard to party or theories of
taxation, TO earnestly protest against
any increase in the public burdens,
National, State and municipal taxes
are already far too high, and the ten
dency has steadily been in the direc-
tion of greater extravaganza and new
armies of tax eaters Salaries of pub.
lie officials have been advancing all
along the line, though money has q
greatly increased purchasing power,
and buys twice as much of most kinds
of goods as it did twenty years ago.
The wealth creators of the country are
supporting far too many Office holding
parasites, who give little or ne return
to the men who pay taxes.
Taxes means work. Over 81, 000--
600, 900 goes every year to pay e1-
penses of the municipal, State and
National Governments. A large part
of this immense sum is practically
wasted. The labor which goes to pro-
duce this 81, 900, 900, 900 worth of
wealth is 30 much, poorer by every
dollar for which it does not receive q
full equivalent. Is it any wonder that
the people cannot buy back as much
goods as they produce, when so much
of their products is taken to support
non-producers?
1t is unfortunately true that politi-
clans of all parties are inclined to
favor big appropriations; but the CEN
tire of the evil lies in the protectionist
theory that tariff taxes are paid by the
foreigner, and that, any way, eItravs-
canoe in spending public funds will
justify higher duties on goods the peo-
pie buy from other countries. Every
citizen who thinks he is already pay
ing too much taxes should vote against
and its threat of more
tariff taxation. Greater economy and
less taxes are what the 20, 600, 900 of
really need.

Ex-Secretary Foster on the Mckinley
Tarifi.

While the Republican press and
politicians are bowling for the restora.
ton of the Mckinley tariff, on the
ground that it will give the country
more revenue from customs duties.
Hon. Charles Foster, ex-Secretary of
the Treasury under President Harri-
son, admits over his signature that
when the tariff of 1890 went into
operation revenues we're greatly re-
duced. In q recent letter to the New
York Journal of Commerce Mr.. Foster
says:
"When in 1891 we began torcefully
10 feel the effects of the reduction of
the revenues under the Mckinley law,
coupled with very large expectations
Of gold, and with the largest bills to
pay ever known in time of peace, con-
ditions had vastly changed Because
Of large payments made on the public
debt which seemed to be necessary to
relieve the monetary strain of the
country with reduced revenues and
large appropriations to pay, the cash
balance was reduced to $3.50, 900, 600.
then TO s125, 900, 900 from about twice
this amount"
This IL the statement of the highest
official in the last Republican admin
istration that under the Mckinley Law
revenues decreased, that the exporta-
lions Of gold we're very large that the
public expenses we're the largest ever
known In time Of peace, and that the
monetary strain of the country made
IL necessary TO cut down the cash bal
ance In the Treasury one-half. All
this IN the first year Of McKinleyism.
In view of these admissions by
staunch Republican fnancisr q to The
effects OF the Mckinley tariff on the
public revenues and finances, what ex-
cuse Is there for the demand by the
high tariff agitators for . return TO the
conditions Of reduced revenues, large
