fiscal affairs of the government by dHpriving
10 of AN income sufficient to dufruy its uN-
pondturcs If the usual proportion of this
income is hereafter to be derived from taxes
on imported goods the protective theory
must he abandoned as the basis OF our lcgis-
lation upon the subject and a well CON
sldcred and consistent revenue must be sub
StitutCd In It's place and, IN my opinion,
this can be done without material injury to
any trade or industry now existing in this
country.
Tho danger Of n large foreign competition
I'm our home market and the alleged In
furious effects OF such competition upon the
interests of domestic labor have not only
been greatly exaggerated in the past, but
are less now than at any time heretofore
and must continue to grow less hereafter.
In view OF the comparatively small and
constantly decreasing part of our laborng
population that could be affected, even by Il
repeal of all duties, movement for the i'm
position of higher duties on imported goods
cannot be regarded as iustinable upon any
of the grounds usually urged In support Of
such measures by the advocates of the pro-
tectivc theory.
After furnishing figures to bear out his
statements the secretary goes on;
If this view of the subject is correct, it is
evident that new objects Of taxation must
included in our tariff schedules, or the at
tempt to secure the usual proportion of rev.
enue from customs must he abandoned and
some other method of raising means to sup
port the government must be adopted.
When the true principles of taxation arc
recognized and applied In our fiscal legs-
lation, there will be no difficulty in securing
an amplcr revenue for the support of the
government in the exercise of all its proper
functions without subjeCtlng our industries
to injurious and unnecessary burdens and
INJURIOUS restrictions.

subscriber, who, whenever he comes

to the printing office, and insists upon
paying his subscription in advance.
