THE TEA DUTY.

The arr ument with which Sena. or AID
rich pport the proposed duty on ca
In open ng the debate on the tariff was by
no means so strong as that with which he
maintained other features of the meas
ure. 1t advanc d nothirg which is in the
least likely 10 change public opinion on
the subj oct and popular opposition TO the
duty will remain as determined as ever.
The argument OF the Senator is that The
Government needs revenue, and that a
bill which should rearrange the tariff
without providing an adequate revenue
would be Disastrous TO the party enacting
it as well as being prejudicial to the well
fare of the Nation. Continuing he said:
Assuming that the necessity for additional
revenue exists, and OF this we believe there can
be no ques tion, there is no economic reason,
and certainly none that affects the public in
terest, why beer and to bacco should not bear
their share of additional taxation. The COM
mittee believe that the duty proposed on tea
will not prove serious burden upon the con-
sumers of that article.
No man will lightly disagree on tariff
Que stions with so eminent an expert as
Senator Aldrich, but, nevertheless. on this
particular statement great many Will
disagree with him. There are good eco
nomic reasons and some materially affect
ing the public welfare why additional rev.
enues should not be sought by imposing
the proposed taxes. The Senate tariff bl i
does not reach by any means the limit OF
revenues which could be raised by duties
on foreign imports. The duties could be
advantageously increased on prunes, raj
SINS wines, wool and olive OIL On all
these the Senate duties are lower than
these fixed by the House. Why not re-
store the House duties?
There can be no question that it is the
duty of every Western Senator to oppose
the duty on lea. Until Western indus
tries have been given the full amount OF
protection needed there is no reason why
any nom protective duties should be levied.
Protection and revenue can be made to go
hand in hand. 1t has been the policy OF
the Republican party in the past to ar
range tariffs on that principle, and there
is no reason why the policy should now
be set aside. The duty on tea is tax on
the poor from which there is no escape
and for which there is no necessity. 1t
should be rejected and protective duties
substituted in place OF it.
