Texas Democrat Declares For
Low Tariff.
ANSWERS FREE TRADERS
Says Compensatory Duty on Raw
Material and Finished Products
Has No PoIace in the Vocabulary of
Democrats.

Dallas, Tex, Sept 20. - Before a
large audience, United States Senator
j. W. Bailey replied to an address de.
livered in Dallas last Tuesday by VII
liam J. Bryan on Democracy and the
Tariff Mr.. Bryan declared for free
raw material and ior reduced rates on
manufactured goods and arraigned the
Texas Democratic platform of 1896.
which denounced this doctrine
In his speech Senator Bailey de
clared for a low tariff on both raw
material and manufactured articles
and defended the declartion in the
Texas Democratic platform of 1896.
which arraigned the Wilson tariff bill
for admitting raw materials free of
duty. while =. manufactured articles were
protected by heavy duties. He declared
that the Texas platform was in har-
mony with the tariff plank of the na-
tional Democratic platform of 1S9 j.,
when Mr. Bryan was a candidate. Sen
ator Bailey said:
MY answer to those who demand
free raw material in order that our
manufacturers may compete in the
markets OF the world is that am will
ing to take the tax off the raw material
whenever they are willing to take the
tax off OF the finished product. | be
lieve that American consumers are as
much entitled to the benefit of con-
petition in our markets as American
manufacturers are entitled to compete
in foreign markets.
"Iir. Bryan's argument against a
duty on raw material is that it is at
last a duty on the consumers.
This is strange language to come
from a man who has been three times
a presidential candidate of the Demo
cratic party To contend that Demo
crat must levy a compensatory duty
Is to convict the Democratic party OF
adopting the worst of protection de
vices.
"A compensatory duty has no place
in the vocabulary of a Democrat, who
believes that all taxes should be levied
for the purpose of raising money tO
support the government. because it is
employed for the purpose of allowing
the manufacturer to compensate him
self out of the pockets of the people
for the taxes he has paid toward the
governments support.
Another reason which Mr.. Bryan
advances for supporting the doctrine
Of free raw materials is that the con
sumer finds that, other things beins
equal, the tax is cheapest when it
levied upon the finished product onlv
Under a Democratic system of tarir
for revenue only the duty would b
fixed at the lowest rate consistent will
the revenue necessities of the govern
ment. and, therefore, it would be Meth
er higher nor lower on the manufac
tured product in consequence of The
duty imposed upon the raw material"
