Makanto Defeated by Score of Thir.
teen to Seven.

The game of base ball here on Sat-
urday between the locals and the
team from the Flandreau Indian
school, of South Dakota, resulted in
favor the after. The Indians are a
remarkably strong team both at the
bat and in the field, and at the out
set it looked like a shut out for Man
kate. Not until the sixth inning did
the home team succeed in scoring,
but then they pulled together nicely
and pounded out five earned runs.
Polchow pitched a good game and
outside of the fifth inning, when the
infeld supporting him went COM
pletely to pieces, he kept the copper
individuals guessing. Mace be.
hind the bat caught good game, and
Jones and Powell in the field did good
work. The Mankato team expects to

THE TARIFF.
Who Pays the Tariff
FoURTH ARTICLE.


once had occasion to visit
Central America. Upon my re-
turn, when 1 got off the steam
er at New Orleans, the custom
house officers took possession
of my baggage and searched
my trunk and vahse from top
to bottom to see if / was bring
ing foreign goods into the coun-
try without first paying the
tariff. On another occasion |
went to Mexico. Upon my re-
turn, the custom house officers
at Ell Paso did the same thing.
If a person evades the officers
who guard our coast and front
iers and brings foreign goods
into the country without first
paying the tariff, he is guilty of
tho crime of smuggling and is
liable to be sent to the peniten-
tiary for the period of two
years and be fined five thou
sand dollars and will also for
felt the goods smuggled in.
The importer of foreign goods
pays the tariff in the first in
stance, for he cannot get pos
session of his goods on Ameri-
can soil until the tariff is paid.
OF course he is not going to
lose what he pays as tariff, but
at once adds it to the cost Of
his goods and then charges a
profit upon the original price,
tariff and all. Each dealer
through whose hands the goods
pass also charges a profit upon
the increased price which the
tariff forces him to pay for the
goods, and by the time the
goods reach the people their
price is often more than doub-
led. The result is that the peo-
pie not only pay the tariff on
the goods, but also pay a profit
on the tariff to every dealer
who has handled the goods.
The importers and the dealers
do not care; they get back what
they have been forced to pay
by the tariff and also a profit
on it. The entire burden falls
upon the consumer. He is the
man who pays the tariff.
The people do not see the
tariff and the compound profits
which they have paid on the
tariff, because this has been in
corporated in the cost of the
goods. If the people knew what
the goods were actually worth
and how much more the tariff
made the goods cost-in other
words, if the people could see
the tariff when they pay 1.-THE
result would be a revolution in
less than six months.
The people pay their city,
county and state taxes directly
to the tax collectors. They see
and know just exactly what
they are paying. They do not
pay their taxes to the United
States to a tax collector, and
do not see and know what they
are paying. This is the reason
why so much fuss is made
about city. county and state
taxes and so little is said about
United States taxes. Men go
around grumbling at the small
amounts which they have to
pay to support the city, county
and state governments, and at
the same time say There is
ncthing in this tariff question "
They do not realize that the
tariff takes dollars out of their
pockets, while the city, county
and state tax collector is only
taking cents.
Another thing about the tar
iff. The government only re-
ceives a small rer cent of the
money which the tariff forces
the people to pay. The tariff
is called a protective tariff. Its
object Is TO prOtact home mann
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1898-01-09


manufacturer the control of the
market. The home manufac-
turer raises the price of his
goods up to about what the tar
iff makes foreign goods worth.
The people pay this increase in
price whether they purchase
foreign or homemade goods.
The place where the difference
comes in is this: The govern
ment gets the benefit of what
is paid on foreign goods; this
is all that goes into the treas
my. The home manufacturer
gets the benefit of the increased
price at which he sells his
goods; this goes into his pock-
ct. 1t is a conservative esti-
mate to say that the govern
ment does not get one dollar
on the hundred which the tariff
forces the people to pay; the
other ninety-nine dollars go to
enrich home manufacturers.
AS bad as this is, it is not all.
The tariff hurts the people in
another way. When the peo-
pie pay direct taxes and see and
know what they pay 1t causes
them to keep a constant and
watchful eye uron the govern
ment to see how their money is
spent. Public attention is fixed
upon the expenditure of public
money. and in this way coTr9p-
ton and extravaganza IN gov
ernment affairs is held in cheek.
But when the people do not see
and know how much taxes they
pay they become correspond
ingly indifferent as to the
manner in which the govern
ment spends their money. The
attention of the people is not
fixed upon the public expendi-
ture of money. What is the
result? For the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1897, the United
States government spent in
round number four hundred
forty-eight million four hun
dred thirty thousand six hun
dred twenty two dollars.
This makes a total of sixty-four
dollars and seventeen cents for
every man, woman and child in
the United States. If a man
has a wife and three children,
making five in the family, his
share of the money paid out by
the government is three hun
dred twenty dollars and eighty
five cents. So it is seen that
many people pay more to sup
port the government than they
do to support their families.
Yet some persons wonder why
the people are so poor.
When Thomas Jefferson was
president of the United States
the United States spent about
seven million dollars a year.
This was less than two dollars
per head on the population at
that time. A family of five then
paid less than ten dollars to
support the government. 1t
may be said that the growth of
our country calls for an in
crease in expense. This is true.
But it must be remembered that
this increase in expense should
not exceed the increase in pop
ulation. AS the population in
creased the expense per capita
should decrease. If our fathers
could run the United States
government at an expense of
less than two dollars per capita,
we ought to be able to do so
too. The reason why we do
not do so is because the people
have not been watching govern
ment expenses and demanding
that no money should be spent
except to defray the expenses of
the government econmlcally ad-
ministered. The reason why
the naOnla have not hann dOin0

people. 1t encourages extrava-
gance in private life. This has
gone SO far that many people
seem to think that the most de-
sirable thing on earth is to be
able to lead lives of idle waste
fulness and extravaganza. Our
country is afflicted with this
kind of dry rot. which, if not
checked, will finally spread TO
all classes and result in our ev-
erlasting ruin. The seed from
which this poisonous plant was
grown is the protective tariff.
IL time allowed, it would be
interesting to follow this idea
in it's influences through the
various departments of life.
But there are other matters to
be discussed. The people are
earnestly asked to consider this
suggestion. They will find in
it food for serious reflection.
Yet some people say There is
nothing in the tariff" Others
say The tariff is an old, worn
out question. Give us some
thing new" The tariff is an
old question; but it is not worn
out, and will never be as long
as it robs and impoverishes the
people It will be living, vital
question Ms long as it is the
means by which the govern
ment of the United States col
lects taxes. What would be
thought of the intelligence of a
man who would say City,
county and state taxation is an
old, worn-out question. Give
us something new" By COM
mon consent he would be re-
garded as fit subject for a lu-
matte asylum. This thirst for
something new is one of the
curses of the present age. 1t
shows that many of the people
have become tired of the good
old ways and the principles of
their fathers. They are de-
manding constant changes.
They are not satisfied to lead
quiet, sober, industrious lives,
but are calling for something
new, something startling and
full of excitement. The result
is that they are so much taken
up with the sensational that
they have no time to consider
the substantial questions of
life. They are like spoiled
children seeking entertainment
when they should be employed
i'll something useful. The con-
sequence is that they lose sight
of the real cause of the evils
which afflict us and spend their
time in advocating some mat
ter of expediency which will
intensity rather than cure the
disease. This leads to divisions
among the people. Nothing
pleases favored classes more
than to see the people divided
and fighting among themselves.
divide and conquer" has ever
been the motto of the oppress-
ors of the people. They do all
in their power to keep the peo-
pie divided. They understand
full we'll the meaning of that
old pIoverb of our fathers,
United we stand, divided we
fall" " As long as favored
classes can keep the people dl-
vided, just so long-and no
longer-can the present iniqui-
tous condition of affairs be per-
petuated. We have had too
much of this kind of foolish
ness. 1t is high time the peo-
pie were paying less attention
to sensational experiments and
more attention to the funda-
mental principles of our gov
efnment.
