WHO PAYS THE rAx9
Not the Producer, but the Com
sumer-Lesson Taught at


A lesson may be learned by those
who observe from the report of the
deputy internal revenue collector
for this district. published ex-
oIusiyely yesterday in The Tele-
graph. on the subject of taxation.
"Who pays the tariff? has been
the question since the days of
Thomas jefferson. One side has
argued that the consumer does and
the other the producer.
Now we shall see.
Here is an example right in our
own bailiwick which is an object
lesson that the most illiterate can
understand.
AT the beginning of the Spanish
American war the government
placed an extra duty or taxation
upon many articles of consumption
and general use. among them be-
ing beer and tobacco. The result,
a wonderful revenue was accumu-
lated and the expenses of the war
readily met. The producers of
beer said they were unable to turn
their product out at the price then
predominating, and they raised the
cost to the saloon men.
Some one had to pay the fiddler,
and the producer. who was in a
position to do as he pleased, affirm
ed that he would not, SO the CON-
sumner was forced to carry the
burden.
The war being over the tax was
taken off, but the product continu-
ed at the same price and SO it does
now.
Who. then, is getting the bene-
fit of the reduction of tax on the
one side and the increased price of
the article on the other.
Not the consumer, certainly.
This same argument holds good
in all questions where tariff is
levied, whether at home or abroad.
The producer does not pay the
fiddler.-Wheeling Telegraph Rep.

realization of this want. The

cal demonstrations have contribu
ted much to this end in other states
No doubt this will be the outcom,
