THE TARIFF AND PRICES.

ITO the Editor OF The Deseret
News.
THE report of the majority OF
the senate committee, TO the erect
that the tariff does not affect the
price Of commodities--at least that II
does not Increase the cost Of living
raises an issue that ought TO be OF
easy solution 1t is a mere question OF
fact: and your editorial review OF IL
shows that both sides expect to place
before the people the facts In tho
case. so that they may judge Tor
themselves.
Having made some investigation Of
the subject, / am gratifed at the
prospect OF a proposed solution on the
basis OF mere facts, and venture 70
suggest how the issue could be decld-
ed for and by the people in our own
state as follows:
Let every responsible ciuzen now

various articles OF manufacture pre-
vailing In European countries ana IN

food and farm products prevailing
there, and then publish these price
lists in all the newspapers OF the
state that might care 10 print them'
BY this simple and inexpensive
method. we should be able very soon
TO get at the facts. | do not assume
to say what the facts are. Eleven
years ago. many such facts were IN
my possession but times have chang-
ed since then. and the facts also may
have changed with the times. From
what you say concerning the division
OF the committee on this matter, II
seems clear that each citizen must,
to some extent. make an investigation
for himself.
Il desire. in an impartial manner, 20
direct attention 20 several points
upon which tariff authorities in the
past have not differed.
THAT the tariff does not Increase
the price Of certain articles Is gem
orally concede ed. Thus nearly all
farm products have been cheaper
until recently, in the United states
than in the countries of Europe but
not cheaper than in most other coun-
tries Of the New World, as Argen-
tina and Canada.
THAT the tariff does increase the

articles upon which the tax h. laid Is

not hitherto been disputed by states
men. 1t has often been claimed that
the increase in price would be but
temporary, but never before, as far
as l can remember, has II been Of
Totally asserted that the tariff on
most lines OF manufactured goods
does not increase their prices. That
has been regularly assigned, hitherto
as the main argument in favor Of
levying the protective taxes. when
tho object was TO protect the maker
OF the homemade article, IL was not
said that this could be done in any
other way than by increasing the
price Of the article produced and the
desired result was accomplished by
placing n tax on the imported pro-
ducts. Then n the imports still came
in, II IS evident that the tax would
be added to their price; also that the
home producer could. II he SO de-
sired, charge a higher price for his
wares also. II this was all a mistake,
and ~ the tariff tax does not. as a
matter of fact, Increase the prices Of
most OF the articles on which it was

slow in making the discovery, and
one hundred years of arguments In
support OF the protective tariff have
been worse than wasted; Tor these
arguments have served only to mis-
lead the people II II be found. after
all, that the tariff does not affect the
price Of taxed articles imported and
OF similar ones made In the country.
