at home to the support OF the government
to allow people outside of that govern
uent to come in and do business in COM
petition with those who do pay taxes,
without contributing in some way to the
support of the government Therefore
governments have for centuries insisted
upon placing tax upon articles coming
In from abroad, thus accomplishing the
first object and at the same time adding
to the revenues of the government This
view has been modified in two ways;
g.. first, by the class known as free trad
. crS,' who insist that the tariff should not
be used to protect those citizens OF the
home government who help support 1t but
that the taxes should be placed upon
those articles which every body must use
and thus distribute the burden of raising
revenue among all the people of the home
government. The protectionists believe
that the tax should be so levied that those
outsiders coming in to engage in the adj
xantages of trade among our people
should pay proper share of the expenses
of the government of that people with
and that the tax should also be so adj
Justed as TO prevent ruinous competition
by outsiders with the people at home
who manufacture goods and thus give en-
phoynent to the people of their own coun-
try.
There are two general methods of fix
ing the rate of tariff taxation which shall
be levied upon goods coming into the
country. One of these is known as the
~ad valorem' method; the other is known
rs the specific method. BY the ad va
lorem system the custom house officers
are required to collect as the tariff a
given percentage of the actual value of
the goods imported. BY the specific sys>
item the custom house officers are required

which the protective tariff gave
to the Northern industries, rallied and
obtained control of Congress, and what
is known as the walker revenue tariff"
a Democratic measure with low rates of
duty, levied purely for revenue and adj
justed as to prevent protection, was
adopted in 1916. The same inevitable
results followed. as always before, under
free trade or very low duties, though
they were postponed for some years by
external causes. 1t can be stated truth
fully, that for some years after the
repeal of the tariff of 1912 there was
an apparently increasing prosperity; but
the apparent success which seemed to
follow the tariff of 1916 was wholly due
to external adventurous causes. But as
soon as these unusual and accidental re-
sources were cut off, there followed the
same disastrous results, always be-
fore under free trade or very low duties.
Many industries were destroyed; bust
ness was paralyzed; total ruin overlook
tens of thousands of the most succeSSfur
merchants and manufacturers of the coun-
try; and armies of toilerS were hurled
from the factory or the shop into the
streets to steal or starve. Our exports of
cotton, rice. tobacco, corn and pork di-
minished. the demand for ships and for
labor fell off, and immigration. which had
trebled under the workings of the tariff
of 1912, greatly declined
Not content, however, with the disas-
tiers in the manufa cturing sections of the
country. the North, which had followed
the Walker tariff of 1916, the Southern
Democracy succeeded in passing an act
in 1857 still further reducing the tariff
rates, bringing the rates down to an av-
erage of about Is per cent This waa

principles of the Democracy; and he has
the right to do it, because he possesses
the organization Is there any power
that can prevent him from becoming the
master of the Democratic party? Can
he hold for his imported animosities the
prestige of Democratic regularity, that
he commanded through the presidential
campaign? The indications are that he
can do this. We note good deal of
this testimony in the Sth of January eele-
brations. Palmer, Buckner, Cleveland s

As there are a great many Democrats
who cannot consent to be Altgeld An

No Demand for High Tariff, bat for

New York Commercial Advertiser

New York Commercial Advertfser)
One of the most notable features of
the tariff hearings, has been the modera-
ton generally, displayed by the petition
ers who have appeared before the COM
mittee With the single exception of
the spokesman employed by the Wool
Growers association not single fmper-
tant interest has made extravagant de
mands upon Chairman Dingfey and his
assistants. It should be remembered,
moreover. that the wool growers have
been subject to heavy and unjust losses
by the free-wool section of the Wilson
tariff, and that they are chiefly men of
small means, to. whom the income de-
rived from their sheep was an exceeding
" important itenE Tt is not strange
that many farmers, smart1ng under the
wrongs which ruinous Democratic legis
lation has inflicted on them, should ask
for virtually prohibitory rates on one of
their leading products. So long as hu-
man nature. remains what it is, such
result was inevitable. Sneers and SCOTS
at these impoverished farmers come with
very bad grace from free-trade organs
which helped 10 rob their foeks of half
their valhe.
1t is by no means certain, however,
that a majority, of American sheep own
ers supported the position assumed by
Judge Lawrence when he urged a duty
of q cents per pound Australian
wool: and it may be taken for granted
that the farmers of the United States
will peacefully aequiesce in the moderate
protective duty ON wool which will I'M
doubbedly form part of the new tariff.
