Free Trade Fallacies Exposed by tho Re-

American manufacturers may study
with great deal of interest and graft
fication the returns of our foreign trade
Tor last month. It is but necessary to
turn back to the files Of the Democratic
and free trade papers during any period
of national political excitement 'sitaee
1890 to find their columns teeming with
bold assertions that protective tariff
would isolate US as commercial factor
that the wall of protection would moi
only prevent us from buying foreign
goods, but that it must necessarily pre-
vent our goods from getting into foreign
markets. Their hue and cry has always
been that if we do not buy we cannot
sell.
These theoretical economists forget
that the world must eat to live; that
business men, of whatever nationality,
will always buy where they can get the
best goods for the least money. There
is no theory about this. Nowadays it ii

hardpan basis. The fact that our sales
last month amounted to 3106, 762, 900,
while we bought foreign goods worth
only $50, 800, 9O9-this fact that We
sold more than twice as much as we
bought-should silence all remaining

4 Good Way. and Pretty Way to Make
Tea - Unique and Attractive PHI.
low-An AQUARIUM at Home.

"Without question the great secret
Of making palatable cup Of tea lies in
getting a right start" says writer In
Good Housekeeping, who then proceeds
to define a good start and to furnish
much interesting information about "a
drawing of tea" In it occurs the fol-
lowing:
The first important element in this
Ease is boiling water-not water which
10 merely warm or cold water which
may after due effort be brought to the
boiling point, but that which is already
briskly bubbling. 1t might be claimed
chat the selection Of proper brand OF
lea was nm earlier essential than that OF
the boiling water, but it is fact that
Nightly treated tea leaves Of even an in
terior quality yield beverage inestima-
bly, superior to that of much more pre-
tentious grades spoiled in the treat
ment.
A good measure for making tea is to
allow teaspoonful Of the leaves for
each cup and one for the pot. The pot
used should be no larger than is requir'
ed for the amount Of tea to be made.
This small pot should be we'll rinsed
and scalded, the tea leaves should be
put in at once, while the pot is still
steaming, and the whole should be set
for a minute upon the stove or range
until thoroughly heated. Then the boil.
Ing water should be poured over, and
the pot be set back to gradually cool
while the infusion takes place. The tea
is then ready to serve, and while il
should be distinctively hot and moi
merely warm no one wishes to even siI
LIQUID which remains at the boiling
point. This matter Of comparative beat
is a very important one in the matter OF
tea making and tea drinking.
Another and very pretty way OF max
ing tea is to dispense with the teapot
altogether, shocking as the suggestion
might have seemed to our grandmother.
In this process have the cups warm
and into each put teaspoonful Of medi'
um quality tea. Ut will be understood
in all cases that If the tea is Of extra
quality and very fine, closely rolled
make, a little less should be used, ant
where the leaves are large and coarse
go that they lie loosely, little more II
bulk will give the right degree o.
strength.) Fill the cup nearly to tht
brim with boiling water, and as soon al
it has cooled sufficiently to sip the de
oootion will be at it's best.

THE TARIFF.
Constitutions Power OF Congress- with
Reference TO the Tariff.
THIRD ARTICLE.

there was a general discussion
of the powers of the United
States, which was intended to
lead up to the power of con-
gress on the subject of the tar
iff, which will now be discussed.
Section eight in the constitu-
tion of the United States is as
follows: Congress shall have
"ower to lay and collect taxes,
duties. imposts and excises, to
pay the debts and provide for
the common defense and gene
raj welfare of the United States;
but all duties. impOsts and ex-
cises, shall be uniform through
out the United States. s."
The tariff is the duty which
the government charges for
permitting foreign goods to be
imported into our country.
The operation of this duty and
the manner in which it is collect
ed will be fully explained and
illustrated in subsequent arti-
cles. From section eight in the
constitution it is seen that con-
gress has power to levy a duty
or tariff for specified and limit
ed purposes. First, to pay the
debts of the United States.
Second, to provide for the COM
mon defense and general welfare
of the United States. The power
to levy a duty or tariff has the
restriction placed upon it that
all duties shall be uniform
throughout the United States.
The word uniform" evidently
refers to the people and not to
the land. 1t clearly means
that all duties. imposts and ex-
cises shall be equal in their op-
Grafton ard effects upon the en-
tire people; that a burden shall
not be placed upon the should
ers of one class for the benefit
of another class; that the peo-
pie in one section should not
pay a tribute to enrich people
living in another section; That
all occupations shall not be tax
ed to enrich one occupation;
that in the matter of taxation
special privileges shall be
granted to none and equal jus
tice shall be done to all. The
advocates Of a protective tariff
claim that it promotes the gene
raj welfare of the United States
and therefore congress has the
right and power to levy a pro-
lection tariff. How taxation
can create general prosperity
and welfare has never been
shown, for the very good reas-
on that it is not true. Any
man with sense enough to keep
out of a lunatic asylum knows,
without being told, that taxa
ton eats up, consumes and de-
stroys property and does not
create it. The idea that the
more taxes people pay the rich
er they are, is too absurd for
argument. Labor alone can
create property. 1t is Gods
legal tender for the comforts of
life. Sweat is Gods price for
bread. Money is a medium of
exchange and is valuable only
because it can pay our debts
and purchase the products of
labor. 1t is for these reasons
alone that it is desirable.
Without these functions it
would not be worth as much as
the dirt we walk upon. The
protective tariff takes money
from all of the people and gives
it to a few people. Taxation
has never been and never can
be a source of wealth. 1t is a
drain, a consumer. and a de-
stroyer.
The discussion might we'll
stop here so far as the constitu-
tional powers of congress Is
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1898-01-02

the contention that congress
has the power to levy a tariff,
or to pass any other law, upon
the ground that such legislation
will promote the general well
fare. This argument may be a
little tedious and dry, but it is
necessary to a complete under
standing of the matter and will
be presented in its plainest and
simplest form. If congress is
vested with power to legislate
for the general welfare, with
out restriction or limit, then it
is plain that congress possesses
absolute power-then the rest
of the constitution is idle and
meaningless, for the general
welfare covers all questions.
Then the constitution so far as
congress is concerned, should
simply have provided for tLat
bodys and turned the country
over to it. This construction is
in consistant with the idea that
power is in the people, and
proclaims the doctorine that
power is in congress. If this
construction be correct, if con.
gress can pass any law which
in its judgment is necessary
for the general welfare, then
members of. that body might
decide that their retention in
Office was necessary for the
general welfare and proceed to
perpetuate themselves in office
for life. The doctrine that
congress can legislate for the
general welfare, without regard
to the grants of the constitution,
necessarily end in the establish
ment of a political aristocracy
"a condition which we have
now we'll nigh reached.
Another view. If congress
is charged with the legislating
for the general welfare, when
we consider the magnitude of
this country, as to the ex-
tent of its territory. the number
of its population and the great
variety of its industries and re-
sources it is at once evident that
no one body of men, even if
they had a perpetual session
and legislated without stopping
for food or sleep. could posi-
bly, meet the requirments of the
case. The thing is simply im-
possible.
Another view. Consider the
great diversity in climate, soil,
population and occupations of
our people. The conflicts arising
from these sources make it i'm
possible for one body to legIs-
late for the welfare of the peo-
pie upon all subjects.
Another view. Two bodies
of equal density cannot occupy
the same space at the same
time. If congress has general
power to legislate for the public
welfare, no place is left for
state legislatures. The result
would be to wipe out state lines
and convert the United States
into a strong, centralized des-
potism. This will be the result
of the present condition of af-
fairs, if not checked by the peo-
pie. That portion of section
eight of the constitution which
gives congress power to lay and
collect taxes. duties, etc., to
pay the debts and provide for
the general welfare of the Unit
ed States, must be con strued
in connection with the restric-
tions which the same clause
contains. which have been ex-
plained in this article, and also
in connection with other
clauses in the constitution
which were quoted and explain
ed in the prior article. The at
tention of the people is earnest

necessary fol. the general welfare.
The way to fight these meas
lres is with the constitution.
low could we enjoy good phys
cal health if we disregarded
he laws of health and destroy
ed our constitution Neither
can we expect to have good po-
litical health if we violate the
constitution of our country.
We do not want new names
and new policies any more than
we want a new religion. By
this it is not meant that the
people should never altar their
constitution to suit new condi-
tions. 1t is impossible for hui
man wisdom to foresee and an
ticipate the future. Every
thing of a worldly nature is
subject to change. If we were
irrevocably bound to the past
progress and improvement
would be impossible. The
world belongs to and should be
ruled by the living and not the
dead. Each generation has
right to decide for itself what
form of govei nment it will
have and what laws shall be en-
forced. While this is true we
must remember that experience
is the only lamp by which we
can safely guide our feet, and
not change from the customs
any principles of our fathers,
unless it is first clearly demon.
strated that the change is nee
essary. Experiments are dan
gerous and their evil conse-
quences always fall upon the
heads of those least able to
stand them, because they are
the most defenseless. The
constitution points out the man
ner in which it may be amended.
But these amendments should
only be made for the most grave
and weighty reasons after a
thorough discussion and under
standing by the people. I for
one, have a respect, bordering
upon reverence, for the wisdom
of the trainers of the cOnstitu-
ton. 1t should always be re-
membered that they were not
animated by sordid, selfish mo-
tives, but went through fire and
blood for the principles which
are embodied in this sacred
compact. The man who does
not respect the customs and
.."'nciples of his ancestors is an
uugrateful renegade conceited
ignoramus, natural born
fool, or a sap-beaded dude.
The people who have no history
or take no pride in their his
tory are unworthy of freedom
and will not long maintain it.
My prayer to Heaven is that
the people may awake from
their slumbers and return to
the principles and the con-
stitution of their fathers. If
they do not do this no one can
tell the depth of degradation to
which they may be reduced.
If they will do this all will yet
be well. the trials and tribula-
tions through which they have
gone will be but the scourging
hand of God to awaken them to
danger and to duty. The sun
of justice will again shed its
rays upon US; fill our land with
the glorious light of freedom;
the homes of our people with
plenty. and their hearts with
gladness.
The next article will show
who pays the tariff.
