SOME PERTINENT TARIFF QUES-
TIONS AND ANSWERS TO
THEM.
THEM.
Editor Weekly Jeffersonian:


cism of Hon. M. W. Howard for
voting for the Dingley bill, and am
going to ask you the following ques-
lions for information:
list. Are you in accord with the
Democratic party when it declared in
1882 that can adequate protection
to American industry is indispensa-
bic to the prosperity of the country;
and that an abandonment of the
policy at this period would be at
tended with consequences ruinous to
the best interests of the Republic" or
do you think the party was right in
1872 when it declared in it's national
platform, Recognizing that there
are in our midst honest but irrecon-
cllable differences Of opinion with re-
gard to the respective systems of pro-
lection and free trade, we remit the
discussion of the subject to the peo-
pie in their Congressional districts"
or do you hold that Champ Clark is
right when he advocates the aboli-
ton of all customs duties, and the
raising of revenue to run the govern
ment by direct taxation?
End. Are you not free trader and
opposed to all tariff?
3rd, Tell us the Democratic doc
trine on the tariff now?
4th. Did you vote for the infa-
nous, Internal farmer robber tariff,
known as the Wilson Bill?
9Th. Do you believe, with the lead
ers of the Democratic party that the
Payne-Aldrich bill is responsible for
the high price of farm products?
9th. 1t you say yes, will you tell
the farmers if you want to lower the
price of farm products. and, if so,
how much?
7th. Did not the Dingley bill pro-
vide for the coinage of silver? Tell
us about it.
Chavis, Ala. L. A. DURHAM.
Answer.
CD In 1892 the tariff which the
Democratic Party endorsed averaged
less than 20 per cent. Therefore, it
bore no resemblance whatever to the
infamous Dingley Bill which put a
tax of $50 per cent. on the poor mans
overcoat and of 165 per cent. upon
his blanket
In 1856, however, the Democratic
Party declared that the time had
come for progressive free trade
throughout the world. In other
words, the infant Industries were no
longer infants, and the Dem ocratic
Party declared, in effect, that our
manufacturers were sufficiently pro-
tected from foreign competition by
the oceans and the ocean freights.
The Democratic platform of 1872
was so absurd that it was laugh
ed at everywhere.
I fully agree with Champ
Clark. If the national government
taxed the people directly, the tax
prayers would compel the govern
ment to economic in expenditures.
Excluding Sundays and holidays, our
national government is now costing
us three and a half million dollars
per day. Such Infamous measures
as the Dingley Bill and the Payne
Aldrich Bill are responsible for our
governmental extravaganza.
CD Yes, I am an out-and-out free
trader. and don't believe in laws
