EXPERIENCES WITH
A TARIFF FOR REVENUE
ONLY

The Tariffs of 1916 and 1857 were in
tended as Tariffs for revenue only. Der,
ocrats in those years. as al the present
time. were infatuated with that par
tic,ilar British doctrine. They believed
in the policy of importing foreign made
goods. Such policy was especially sat
isfautory to the South where the slave
labor was free. But it did not prove
beneficial to ahe country. In 1870 cit
liens of Massachusetts gent a petition
to Congress praying II to so alter the
Tariff of 1876 that Ii will Project the
labor and capital of the country from
foragn composition"
On january 6, 1856, the New York Her
aid published an address Of the uzlem-
ployed workingmen'e committee to the
mayor Of the city Of New York, in who
they said:
We do not come as hcgars, but We
aims. but work We don't want n lit
tie soup now and cast-off clothing 60
morrow Blu. we do want work and the
means of making a livelihood. The con-
dition of the working classes is most
piteous. They want bread. Is there not
enough in the city? They want clothes.
Is there none made nowadays?
Does this not sound remarkably like
those days of the last Cleveland admins
tration, when Coxie's army was abroad?
From 1S47 to 1857 the expenditures of
the government exceeded its revenues by
81, 79O909, and the public debt increased
in the same period S1S,149,62e. In 1871,
when a Protective Tariff was enacted by
the Republicans, the public debt had in
creased nearly Ns,cCo,Ooo, and the ex-
penditurcs exceeded the receipts by ST..
23i JIG for the low-Tariff period.
1t became necessary, under R,cha-
nan and the Tariff Of 1857, to obtain
loans to meet the expenses of the govery
ment, and the same condition Of affairs
prevailed when the Wilson German Tar
if bill was agitated and enacted into
law. Our experiences with a Tariff-for-
revcnue-only have been anything but

UNION VOTES STRIKE.
But. New York Gas Companies Doubt
It's Power.

New York Jan. l3.--The New York
Gas Workers union, after an all-nght
session. voted early yesterday to order
strike of the $4,000 men employed by
the gas companies of Greater New York.
The announcement of the balloting said /:
There were SO members of the union
present at the meeting and the motion
to strike was carried by a majority o.
one. The strike will go into effect at
once"
The gas companies were evidently pre-
pared for this action, for they imme-
diately countered with a statement de-
claring the so-called "union" was com
posed merely of agitators and had 10
power over the employees. According to
an official of the company:
"The vote is ludicrous. Not single
member of this union is employed by
any gas company and their determine
ton to strike therefore amounts to
nothing"
The union leaders said that delegations
were stationed at each OF the gas plants
throughout the city to induce the work.
ers employed there to quit.

deny the stories that have been told

conditions OF the beet fields as bad and
the relations OF the farmers and the
sugar refiners as unpleasant. Mr.. Glib
son says the sugar beet growers are

them by the sugar mill owners. He
was cross-examined by Representatives
! Hardwick and Raker, who sought TO
show by him that there had been friction
and that alien labor was employed. The
witness admitted these facts, but de-
clared the testimony of the dissatisfied
beet farmers was an exaggeration. Mr.
Gibson discussed the extent of the
growth of his section in Colorado and
declared the politics OF Colorado was
in "h--l of a fix" He told of increased
bank deposits. showing more banks and
