les
Q. What is a revenue tariff?
| A. A revenue tariff ia a tariff
levied for the purpose OF raising

q. What is the differnce be-
tween the two kinds OF tariff?
A. A revenue tariff is collected

when it gets enough. A protec-
tive tariff is imposed for private
benefit, may be 80 levied as to
impose d heavy burden witho ut
raising much revenue and there
is no limit to it's exactions ex.
cept the greed Of the protected
interests and the patience of the
people.
@. Who pays the tariff?
A. The consumer.
@. How can this fact be estab-
lished?
A. By reason, by observation
and by experience. II a tariff
were paid BY the forpie ner it
would be no protection to t b e
home industry. Only when t b 9
consumer must pay more than
foreign price for an importantar
ticle ran the home producer
charge more than the foreign
price for the domestic article. A
tariff paid by the foreigner would
give no protection to an Ameri.
can manufacturer. Then. too. the
tgovernment gives a rebate on
raw material when the flushed
product is exported. Why does
the government pay the rebate
to the domestic manufacturer il
the foreigner pays the tariff? But
experience is the best test. Go
abroad. buy in the open market,
and when you return you will
pay tile duty and you cannot
fiud any foreigner to reimburse
you. *
@ Ia such q tax constitutional?
A 1t violates the spirit of the
constitution for 1T collects from
the many and gives to the few,
but as the protective features are
concealed in a revenue law it is
difficult to get Il decision on the
principle involved.
Q. Tan the wisdom oI such a

A. No: a policy OF favoritism

A. No; it is about twice shigh

that our industries do not need

cost of articles manufactured
here. II we can now export in
spite OF these burdens we could
export more if the tariff were re.
duced.
@. Does a high tariff m a k e
good wages?
A. No. 1t is said that we pay
higher wages than they do in
Eng|and.a stock argumantwhi ch
protectionists-it il O complete
answer to say that England,
with no protective tariff, pays
better wages than Germany does
under protection. Our best wa
yes are paid in our unprotected
industries and the fact that we
export goods made with our
high priced laboris positive proof
thatgood wages do not depend
on protection. The labor organi-
cations have done far more tn
increase wages than all the tar
If laws.
Q. What about the home mar
ket argument?
A. The friends OF protection
claim that the farmer can afford
to pay more when he buys, be-
cause the manufacturer furnishes
him a home market, but this is a
falIacy. The staples Of the farm
are exported and the price re-
ceiyed Tor the surplus exported
fixes the price received for t b e
part sold at home, As the tarm.
er sells in the unprotected mar.
kets Of the world and buys in a
protected market he is constant
ly drained Of his earnings for the
benefit of the manufacturer and
the manufacturer now shows his
ingratltuIe by selling abro nd
cheaper than at home.
@. How has the tariff b. g en-
maintained 30 long when it is
wrong in principle, nnwise in pol.
icy and unnecessary?
A. Theprotected interests have
contributed literally to support
literary bureaus and to cam-
paign funds and have coerced
their employees by shutting down.
Advocates OF protection have
bpen aMe to organize, distribute
literature and get out the vote,
while advocates of tallff reform,
as they could promise no special
pecuniary benefits, have had to
make their campaigns without
funds. The advocates of protec'
tion have done much 10 corrupt
public opinion by boldly teach.
ing that The voter should use the
ballot to advance his pecuniary
interests. The manufacturer has
been invited 10 vote dividends in
to his pocket, the wool grower
has been solicited to vote him
self higher price for wool and
the laboring man has been warn
ed that a vote against protec.
tion would lower his wages.
Q. Is il true as often asserted
by ADVOCATES ola high tariff al
ways brings good times and that
tariff reform always brings a
panic?
A. No. Prosperity followed the
low tariff OF 1916, and the panic
oi 1873 occurred under a high
tariff. The panic OF 1873 not on
l,y occurred under a high tariff
but twelve years after the repub.
lican party came into power and
eleven years before Mr.. Cleve.
lands first election. The panic of
1893 occurred while the MrKin-
ley law was in force--a year I've
fore the Wilson bill was passed.
and really began while the repub
lican l'arty was in power.
@. Is there any evidence OF
growth in tariff reform senti
ment??

Democrat, now Republican ran.
dldate for Congress in the Sixth
district, and Chairman More
head, asking HIM if he he h a d
sad that the Republicans were
listening with favor to the hold
ers OF fraudulent tax bonds. In
his reply he said:
"But if the Republicans are &C.
riohsly seeking proof that the
bondholders are contributing, or
will contribute to their campaign
fund, some weighty reasons can
be given for believing that this is
trne. In the first place the bonds
were issued by the Republicans
when they were in power in North
Carolina. As soon as the Demo
cratic party came INTO full pow
er it repudiated the bonds and
submitted an amendment to the
Constitution to the people for
bidding the payment of the same
unless the people voted on the
question. 1t is clear. therefore,
that the bonJh0lders do not OK.
pect the Democratic party to
pay these bonds unless the peo.
pie order them paid, and this is
the position which the Democrat
ic party took in 1879 and h a 8
maintained ever since. The only
hope, therefore, Of the bondhold.
ers to secure favorable action in
regard to their bonds is in t b e
Republican party.
"In the next place Senator
Butler was OF counsel for Schaef.
er Brothers in the collection OF
the bonds held BY them against
the State OF North Carolina and
he engineered the transfer OF
$4,000 OF these bonds to t b 9
State OF South Dakota in order
that suit might be brought in the
name OF thatState against North
Carolina. He succeeded in that
suit. 1t is but fair that should
state that the Schaler and South
Dakota bonds were not among
the fraudulent special tax bonds,
but the point is, that Senator
Butler, while still holding til e
Senatorship of North Carolina,
was employed by Schafer Bros.
to Overturn a set tlempnt a n d
compromise which had been Of
fered by the State OF North Car
olina and accepted by all t h .
other bondholders except Scafer
Bros. In his sworn testimony in
the trial OF the ease, he declares
that he was employed by Schafer
Bros. in January, 1901. At that
time he was Senator from North
Carolina and was employed to
oyerturn the settled and long.
continued policy of this State,
which was to carry out the com.
promise Of 1879 by which these
bonds were to be paid at t h 9
rate Of rs cents Oh the dollar. As
soon as the suit was decided in
favor Of the State OF South Do
kota, the holders of special tax
bonds became extremely active.
They have gathered up these
bonds from the four corners OF
the earth, have appointed a com
mittee and put them 10 charge OF
the collection Of the bonds, and
are now actively engaged in q
propaganda for the payment of
the bonds, sendiug out circulars
and publishing newspaper artic-
les, urging the state topay these
