What the Tariff Costs.

If the prOtectionists cannot show
that all are protected by the tariff.
it must be admitted that protection
is not applied equally and unequal tax
alton is an abomination. From the
very nature of things protection can
not be universal, or there would be no
benefit for anyone. If every one was
taxed for the benefit of everyone else
no one would be the gamer. The policy
and practice of the protective tarir
is to make the many pay for the bene
lit of the few.
How few receive any advantage
from the protective tariff of the %
0O0,G00 which the census of 1900 shows
are engaged in gainful occupations
that is the workers and laborers of the
United States. 1t is admitted that but
very few farmers receive any benefit
from the tariff and yet there We're TO-
100000 persons engaged in agriculture.
Men and women in the professions
numbered 123S.000. can it be shown
that the 111,63S clergymen, the ia, AGO
lawyers. the $4,000 doctors and the
446. 1873 teachers have had their in
comes increased by the protective
tariff?
The 5,5S0,000 persons in domestic
and personal Service of whom 1,560,
T21 were servants and walters, 49,.
1l6 BARRIERS. and 155.153 housekeei ors
and stewards. has the Dingley law
raised their pay? How many of the
4. 1866. 600 people in trade and trans
portation have received cent from
Uncle sam? There were go, 127 clerks,
254. $50 bookkeepers. GIL, 139 statesmen,
paying their share of tariff taxes but
receiving no benefit in return,
Now. we come to the 7,0S3,U00 per-
sons employed in manufacturing pur-
suits" about one-f0urth of the whole
number of wor ers. But a very large
proportion of these derive no benefit
from the tariff. for the 346.SS4 dress
makers. the 229.G4a tailors. the 100000
carpenters without taking time to
select thousands more. cannot be said
to have any advantage from the tariff.
But all these and every one else
paid towards an average fo2 each
family in the United States $l6.52
tariff tax to Uncle sam in 1902 and
the tax the workers paid was in some
cases even more than the masters paid,
FOR the rate of duty is often higher ON
the cheaper goods and yet the protec-
dorists say the tarlf is to protect
abr.
!Sut what Uncle Sam receives is
,iaaI tax compared 10 what the trusts
charge each family through the pro-
lection the tariff gives them. which
* computed by the most expect sta
tistieians to be fer 1902 $l4 for each
family or nearly six times rs much
as the government takes in at the
Custom Houses.
No wonder the cost of living is high
ana that those with small incomes
find ii difficult 10 pay this monstrouS
tax which the Republican policy of
high protection imposes. We might
stand the tariff tax the government
gets il il did not protect and foster
the trusts in plundering rs.
