BOUN1IES And SUBSIDIES.

While discussing the tariff and
rusts, II Is also proper 10 discuss the
effects OF bountes and subsidies in
connection herewith, and to that
scheme OF plumber | am also opposed.
First as | have already said, | cannot
agree that II Is a just principle 10 tax
an individual dong a prosperous buSi-
ness III order 10 Subsidize another in
dlvldual doing an Improbable business
| cannot view that policy in the light OF
success, except as being policy OF Law
tul THEFT And second, II magnlties the
excuse for building the tariff wall still
higher III behalf OF the Trusts. The
crime of the lawful taking OF the earn
lngs OF one citizen and giving it to
another Is III this way magnlned in
that for every dollar collected by the
government 10 be bestowed as bounty
or subsidy, the Trusts are thereby en-
ablcd 10 collect two or three more from
the helpless consumer.
As between the Mayteld plan of plum
der in behalf OF the navy, and the
bounty plan OF pundcr in behalf OF
the merchant ships, | should much pre-
Ter 10 submit TO the latter, if submit |
must. he fact that the South is so
largely the consuming section OF this
nation makes it the more unfortunate
that these Republican policies OF pro
lection and plumber prevails While
the South IS paying tribute on ali she
consumes, She is getting next to none
OF the benefits of spoilation, and when
a Southern politician shows d tendency
to iall in with the Republicans in their
schemes OF plunder he should be shown
the door OF exit from the Democratic
camp, Just as McLaurin was kicked out
in 1897.

1t may be said that the tariff is not

son that the l.. 5. Senate must remain
Republican for four years. | hold that
IT Is, for the reason, first, that II the
start is not made to change the com
plcxion OF the Senate, 1t will always be
Republican, and second, that since tine
trusts are made possible by the arm,
the two must be studied together III
order TO arrive at clear understanding
OF their affects upon the welfare OF the
country.
The Republican doctrine IN regard to
the Tariff is, that the Capital and Labor
OF tins country engaged III the manutac-
turc OF articles necessary TO the comforts
OF the masses OF tins country, are una
bic to compete with the Capital and
Labor of foreign countries engaged III
similar manufacturing enterprises, and
that ii is a desirable policy OF govern
mcnt that the masses OF this country
engaged III farming and other pursuits,
and who are doing paying business
without government aid, be taxed by the
tariff ior the benefit of the manufac-
turcr III order to enable him TO do a
losing business III competition with tor
cigners. I'm other words, that IT pays a
few OF the people so we'll TO engage IN
manufacturing that 1t Is desirable 20
tax all OF the rest OF the people in order
to pay their losses Now, as 4 matter
of fact the government Is not pro
ducer OF wealth, and has none OF its
own except that which it takes from the
pockets of productive enterprise through
its power TO tax.
The Democratic party holds that It Is
proper that the government should tax
its subjects in order To raise the neCcs-
sary revenue To pay legitimate cNpen-
ses OF the government itself but that
every dollar taken from one citizen OF
enterprise for the bcucut OF another ciu-
zen or enterprise is robbery So that
the essential difference between the
Democrats and Republicans on the
Tariff question Is, that the Republican
idea OF prosperity Is the amassing o
great fortunes IN the hands OF the few
while the Democratic idea IS that i
must be general among the masses h'
Republicans believe that TO leglslatt
money out OF the pockets OF the classe
is great iiuanCicrlug The Democrat
believe that ii is a great scheme ,
punder
The Republicans believe that the va.
to bring prosperity and happiness to tn
people OF the country Is TO legislate tn
earnings OF the people into the Golfer
Of the financierS through the treasur
route, and the Democrats believe tina
there can be no permanent proSpcrlt
but that based upon honest toll.

that it makes it necessary to raise this
tariff wall still higher, which in turn
serves to intrench the Trusts more Sc
curely. Every additional dollar spent
ON the army and navy means that al
least two dollars have been taken from
the pockets OF the people in behalf Of
the Trusts. 1t is the policy OF spoila-
ton and plumber. 1t means through the
tariff part of each of your days labor
Is taken to pay the expenses OF the navy
while enforcing the rights of the Trusts
to sell their products to foreigners
against their will, and to sell 1t to
them cheaper than they will sell you the
same goods at home. AS against this
policy | stand i'll favor OF leaving the
earnings OF the toilers in their own
pockets, even il the Trusts must go out
OF business.
