THE TARIFF.
Operation of the Tariff Illustrated.
FIFTH ARTICLE.

the tariff affects them by a prac-
teal illustration. Let us sup
pose that instead of being col
lected from the importers, the
law was changed and it was col
lected from the people directly;
that is, when a person bought
imported goods he paid the act
ual worth of the goods to the
merchant and then paid the
tariff on the goods to tax col
lector Of the United States.
Our friend Jim Huckaby
walks into Duston's store and
tells Will Farthing that he
wants to buy first-class suit
of wooden clothes. Will shows
him a suit which he offers to
sell for 81. Jim is surprised
that such a suit can be bought
for that price. The cloth is
strong, heavy and warm; it is
good enough for anybody. He
has been accustomed to paying
from $18 to $40 for such a suit.
He makes the purchase and
starts to leave the store when
he is stopped by an officer in
blue clothes and brass buttons.
The officer inquiries. What
have you got there?" Jim re-
plies, "A suit of wooden clothes
for which l paid So. which is
less than one-half what | have
been accustomed to pay for
such a suit. " The officer says,
1.-The tariff law has been chang
ed. We used to collect it from
the importers, but now we col
lect it from the consumer. 1t
is my duty to collect a tariff tax
on that suit Of clothes from
you." Jim replies, Il never
heard of that before. | didn't
know there was any tax on
clothing" The officer replies,
1T does not make any differ
ence whether you ever heard of
it before or not. you have been
paying it all the same. As far
as your clothes are concerned,
everything you have on, from
the hat on your head to the
nails in the heels Of your 81. oes,
has tariff tax on it. The spoon
with which your wife gives the
baby medicine, and the medi-
cine also, has a tariff tax on it.
To be short about the matter,
the United States has a tariff
tax on almost everything that
the people use. Such things as
uncut diamonds are allowed to
come in free, but the things
which are useful and servicable
and which the people must have
are all taxed by the tariff law.
Even the Bible. which points to
a better life, has tariff tax of
twenty-five per cent on it. ?" Jim
says Il suppose these tariff
f1ends let up on a fellow when
he dies" The officer replies
mo, the tariff pursues him
after death and taxes the spade
that digs his grave and the
shroud which wraps his remains.
Then it ends" Jim then says
THANK God. there is no tariff
on Heaven and Immortality"
The officer goes on, 1.-The inn
porters used to pay this tax;
but they always charged a big
profit on what they paid for the
tariff, and as each dealer who
handled the goods also charged
a big profit on the increased
rrice which he had to pay the
importer on account of the
tariff. the tariff tax was often
doubleday the time the goods
reached the people. Congress
has changed the way of collect
ing the tariff. The importer does
not pay it any longer; but it is
paid directly by the consumer.
This is a great saving to the
people; for now they only pay
the tariff and save the profits

than you have been paying all
your life. and you never kicked
before"
Jim, now almost wild with
indignation. replies: The rea-
son why l never kicked before
was because l never saw it.
These thieving scoundrels have
kept the thing covered up so |
did not see it. | have known
all the time that it was almost
impossible for me and the old
woman, work, slave and econo-
mize as best we could, to get
enough money to live on and
raise and school the children.
L knew that something was
wrong somewhere, but | never
could understand it. Now that
] do understand it. just don't
intend to be robbed any longer.
This government has never
done anything to encourage
me. My wife and children are
just as good as the wives and
children of home manufacturers
and just as much entitled to the
encouragement of the govern
ment. / have never asked for
protection of this kind. / am
able to make my own living
and support my own family; all
| ask is a fair chance in the
battle of life. | do not want
anything unless it is mine, and
l do not believe any other hon
est man does either. If l can
get along without encourage
ment, the home manufacturer
ought to do so too. If he can
not paddle his own boat and
keep her afioat, let her sink. If
his business doesn't pay, let
him do as l do: go TO work
like an honest man and do the
best that he can.
:" now begin to understand
why we farmers of the west
and south are so poor. We
feed and furnish the stuff that
clothes the world. yet we can
hardly get enough to eat and
wear. The manufacturing and
gold bug east is rich. | saw in
a paper last winter where a wo-
man named Bradley Ma "
gave a ball in New York tina.
cost over a half million dollars.
| also saw where a young dude
named Seeley gave a supper
and had women without any
clothes on dancing to entertain
his friends. This is what is
going on and the way they are
spending money where the
home manufacturers live. Down
here we cannot get more than
enough to keep soul and body
together. This internal gold
standard makes us take half
prices for what we sell. This
robber tariff law makes us pay
double prices for what we buy.
Between the two a farmer does
not get % cents out of each dol
lar he grubS out of the ground.
Talk about freedom! No man
is free man who cannot sell
where he can sell the dearest
and buy where he can purchase
the cheapest. History shows
that this tariff custom was born
in Africa. | believe that the
gold standard was Matched in
hell. Jesus Christ said to the
scribes and Pharisees that they
were the blind leaders of the
blind because they said that
whOsoever sweareth by the al
tar it is naught; but he who
swears by the gold that is upon
the altar. let him be bound. Je-
sus called them liars and hypo-
critics and whited sepuichers,
without fair, but within dead
mems bones and corruption.
Jesus asked them which was
the greater. the gold or the al
tar which saEctified the gold. l
