state of Vermont, whence came the
Morrill, protective tariff, and where the
majority of the landowners and farm
ers have persistently impoverished
themselves by clinging to the fallacies of
protection. And just as we have been
asked to believe that the vast lobbies
maintained at Washington for the pur-
pose of securing higher duties on Ger
tain foreign articles imported to the
United States are entirely philanthropic
as to their motives, and that the sole OBJ
ject of high protective tariff laws is to
make certain American manufacturers
pay higher wages to their employees, and
at the same time compel them to sell
the products Of the labor of those en-
ployees at lower prices; so we are now
requested to tax our credulity and be-
lieve that the unselfish dairymen of the
United States, incorporated and other
wise, are keeping and paying lobby at
Washington, solely for the public purp-
ose of raising revenue for the government
by imposing this ten cent tax on yellow
colored butter substitutes. Disinterest-
ed Samaritanism asks us to believe that
it makes all these efforts to pass the
Grout bill for the purely patriotic pur-
pose of increasing the overflow of the
torrential revenues Of the general gov
ernment. Sometimes, however, we are
to understand that it is because Of an
affectionate solicitude for the general
healthfulness of the American people
that it is proposed to tax oleomargarine
and butterine out of existence. It is
even declared by some of these sympa-
thetic neutrality-suspicious. and amateur
scientists who claim to be-not even ex-
cepting calves-the sole legitimate rep
resentatives Of the meek-eyed COW, that
oleomargarine and butterine, whether
colored or not, are substantial and active
causes Of indigestion and dyspepsia
They ask US to refrain from using these
proxies for butter because of their de-
structiveness to human health. Recent
ly at Sioux Falls, South Dakota, there
was a convention Of, allegedly, the
farmers of the United States. The
farmers, however, were not all there
from any one of the states or territories; /;
nor was the representation extensive
from any state, nor was there any rep
resentation from more than fifteen
states. But with great unanimity that
assorted collection of distinguished and
disinterestedly benevolent dairymen
passed vigorous resolutions in favor of
the immediate enactment of the Grout
bill. But by some unsanctified friend
of the cattle industry an amendment
was proposed to the effect that all So
called process Butter" if colored with

been held therein, even temporarily,
either for consumption, sale or storage?
And is not this section plausible at
tempt on the part of Congress to dele
gate its power to regulate interstate
commerce to the several states and ter.
ritories?
The ostensible public purpose for lay
ing a tax is to get money into the ma
tional treasury, with which to pay the
national debt, provide for the common
defence, and to promote the general
welfare. But the first oleomargarine
legislation was approved August 2, 1886,
and entitled: "An Act Defining Butter;
also Imposing Tax upon and Regulat-
ing the Manufacture, Sale, Importation,
and Expectation of Oleomargarine.
At the time this pretended revenue
law was enacted, the national treasury
was full and overfowing. The great
question among statesmen was: "What
shall we do with our surplus revenues?"
Therefore, the first enactment could
not have been purely for public pur-
pose. It could not have been because
the public treasury needed more rev.
enue. 1t must then have been legisla-
ton under false pretence. The pur-
pose of that legislation was purely for
the promotion of certain special or class
interests. The revenue was not needed
and the real object of the enactment
was to discourage, impede, and, if pos
sible, destroy the manufacture Of butter
substitutes of all kinds. Notwithstand-
ing this great injustice by the legisla-
tive branch of the government, the
manufacture of oleomargarine and but
terine has continued. And more un-
friendly legislation is now sought, and
also under the guise and pretence Of
getting revenues into the national treas
ury. But everyone understands that
the revenues of the government
of the United States have in
creased so rapidly during the
last three years that many federal taxes
were reduced by the last Congress, and
many stamp duties have been done away
with because there is surplus revenue.
We all understand perfectly well the
plethora of money in the treasury of the
United States which causes Mr..
Secretary Gage to constantly adver-
tise for and purchase at a premium
the outstanding bonds Of the govern
ment. It is evident from these oondi-
tions that there is no particular public
purpose to be served by the taxation in
the Grout bill. It provides that oleo.
margarine or butterine, not oolored in
imitation of butter, shall be taxed one
fourth of one cent per pound. But
when it is colored in imitation of butter,

A New Zealand cheesemaker travel
ing in England was examining cheese
from New Zealand, Canada and Eng
land. He mentioned to the shopkeeper
that the New Zealand cheese was as
good as the English. The Englishman
said that it was as good, but the peo-
pie there would pay more for English
cheese. The New Zealander hazarded
the remark that in that case 1t would
be possible to sell New Zealand cheese
for English cheese. A contemporary
says that "a smile lit up the face Of
the London shopkeeper, and investiga-
ton along these lines was not con-
tinued." There is no doubt that fur
ther Investigations would have shown
that the trick was being worked to its
full limit.
