Agrees With Walker.

Robert j. Walker s report on tho
tariff rcmaius TO this day the greatest
paper ON that subject In il he laid
down this general principle: The high
est rates should be on Injuries; tho low
est or none at all Oh the necessities OF
life. That should be the basis of our
revision of the tariff to which VIC are
soJcmuly committed.
''Tho rates should be arranged so as
To produce the maximum of revenue,
while taking from the ultimate con
sumcrs the minimum Of money in Tho
shape of tariff taxes. That statement
may appear pnradoHical. bot what ii
proposes is perfectly feasible. There is
maximum revenue producing tarih
rate on each particular item which can
be agcertaincd and should be ascer-
tanned, The moment the rate on any
article goes above the maximum rcve-
uuc producing rate, the revenue begins
to fall on and the more the rate is in'
creased the more the revenue dwiudieo
until it disappears entirely and the rate
becomes prohibitiNc.
