The Tariff Bills And T2ceign coun-
tries.

| When Congress deliberately dis
eliminates among the nations trad
ing with the United States, and
seeks to impose penalty duties upon
the products of some nations and to
admit the products Of others under
lighter duties, the effects upon trade
are mischievous. 1t is not possible
to escape such duties and foreign
merchant, seeing his trade placed
under disadvantage, naturally ap-
peals to his government for protec
tion. If II formal protest is
OF any avail, ,retaliatory measures are
taken, and laws placing American
products under restrictions and
even prohibition are enforced. As
Congress, in legislating against the
foreign article, acted under pressure
OF some interest, aid not in behalf
OF the general public, the CONNER
cial interests of the county suffer,
and the. innocent producer is made
to bear the cost. BY imposing dis
eliminating duties on sugar from
Europe, we invite the exclusion of
our provisions and flour from Eu
rope. BY taxing wool. we open op-
portunity for higher duties on our
products brought into Argentina.
How general those measures of re-
taliation may become is shown by
the fact that only two great COM
mercial powers have not protested
formally against the pending tariff
bills-England and Russia.
Extreme protection only aggra-
Yates this tendency to antagonize
foreign countries, and to close for.
eign markets to our products. With
every step towards higher duties the
protests have been more general
and emphatic: For high duties mean |
restriction on trade, and restriction !
based upon a reason that will not
bear examination--the wish to favor
some private entererprise at aublic
expense. = Harpers Wsekly.
