come from the growth and development OF
the country, it would not conclude our
argument against this levy Of additional
taxes. There are two ways, sir. Of pre-
! venting a deficiency II can be done by
! reducing expenditures just as effectualiy
| as by increasing taxation; and IL the rev
enue under the present law is not suffi-
! cient to meet the public charges, congress
| ought 10 reduce its appropriations Instead
OF increasing the peoples taxes Nothing
could more impresslyely illustrate the bale
full effects of the protective theory than this
fact that it banlshes all thought OF re-
| irenchment from the minds of those who
advocate IT, They never consider how they
! can spend less but 1t is always how they
can collect more. Nor is it strange that
/ this should be tho case; because protection
! incuicates the absurd and dangerous no.
tion that taxation is benefit rather than
a burden. 1t is natural that those who he
llcNe that should favor the lavish eNpen-
/ dlture OF public money. Men who support
g theory which dfiirms that high taxes en-
courage the industry and promote the hap
piness u our people can no more resist ex-
( travagauce than they can suspend the
| laws VI nature. To successfully defend
the system of protection they must justify
! the extravaganza which it breeds. and

enough to do this. We have heard II pro-
