TAX TO RAISE PRICES
PROTECTION IS MOST lNslDloys
FORM or PRIVILEGE.
This Saying Of the Great Statesman
cavour ls Expoundsd In an lllum-
mating Way by Henry
Herzbera.

That we shall have some kind Of
tariff revision Is conceded The
main question Is now. as always un'
der such a prospect whether II will
DO the kind that shall keep the prom.
iso 10 the ear and break II TO the hope
or the, kind that satisfies hunger with
fulness. The great statesman Cavour
said that protection was the most In
sidious form OF privilege. In the
North American Review Henry Herr
berg considers the 'Fallacies OF Pro
lection practically by expOunding
this saying Of Cnvour There is room
here for only the merest outline OF
part Of the article yet such state
ment as follows should need no proof.
A tariff levied for purposes beyond
the needs Of public service economic
ally administered Is nothing other
than tribute or gratuity in which
are oceans Of possibilities for extor-
ton, monopoly, industrial persecution
and Arrangement Of individual liberty.
Through this government bounty con.
sumers are forced to pay a tribute to
a legally protected class. 1t clothes
those of one station with power to
tyrannize over others and lays taxes
for private purposes There Is no
warrant for this in the Constitution
Yet a decision could not be got
against an oct which on It's face is
to raise revenue and not to yield
tribute, though we know that the
whole protective system is for the
latter rather than the former pur'
| pose.
So it comes to this: "A high tariff
is a privilege granted by law the
| practical result Of which Is to raise
the price Of the daily necessaries OF
life" Unless il did this 1t would not
be levied for It is not done merely as
a matter Of form. Where do the pro-
tected classes get their gains but
from increased prices Of the things
that they sell? Here are facts that
go with this. The tax must yield

Roses in Medicine.

Roses at one time figured prom
inently in the pharmacopoeia. Pliny
gives 80 remedies compounded Of
rose leaves and petals. Sufferers
from nervous complaints used to seek
relief by sleeping on rose pillows and
one is told that Helogabalus used to
imbibe rose wine as a pick-me-up
after his periodical gormandizing
hours The flower was also served
at table, both as a garnish, in the way
parsley is now used, and as salad,
and rose water was largely used for
lavoring dishes. Roses as food have
gone out of favor among western ma
tions, but the Chinese still eat rose
fritters.

NEW TARIFF BILL
MAKES BIG CUT
IN DUTIES
New England Manufacturers
Seem The Chief Target
FARMERS ARE ALSO HIT
Wool On the Free List and Wooden
Goods and Farm Products
Get But Little Protection

Washington, April S.-Removal of
all tariff from many articles OF
food and clothing. broad reductions In
the rates of duty on all necessaries Of
life, an increase of tariff on many lux
uries, and a new income tax that
would touch the pocket of every
American citizen whose net income ex
ceeds $4,000 are the striking features
of the new democratic tariff revision
bill, presented yesterday to the House.
Sugar would be free of duty in 1916,
the bill proposing an immediate 20
per cent reduction and the removal Of
the remaining duty in 1916.
Raw wool would be made free at
once, with a corresponding heavy re-
duction in the tariff on all wooden
goods. All these other articles are
put in the free list, namely: Meats,
-four, bread, boots and shoes, lumber,
coal, harness, saddlery iron ore, milk
and cream, potatoes, salt, swine. corn,
cornmeal. cotton bagging, agricultur-
al implements. leather, wood pulp, Bl-

Der products, including broom hand.
les, clapboards, hubs for wheels, posts
mths, pickets, slaves, shingles. These
principle items are taken from the
free list and taxed; rough and uncut
diamonds and precious stones, furs,
coal tar products, 10 per cent; vola-
tile oils, 20 per cent; spices, from one
cent to two cents a pound.
While wheat -four is put on the free
list, duty of 10 per cent Is imposed
against countries which levy a duty
on American -four This will exclude
-four from Canada and many other
countries.
The new rates are estimated to re-
duce the customs revenue approx
mately $80,000,000 year. This Is ex-
pected to be made up by the income
tax. Endorsed by President Wilson,
the measure represents the efforts of
the president and the House tariff
makers to carry into effect democra-
tic pledges of downward revision and
of concessions TO the American con
sumer. Protection to the farmer
would be cut throughout by more than

cost of food. Protection to the steel
and implement manufacturer would in
turn be cut by fully as wide margin.
Heaviest reductions fall upon food
stuffs, agricultural products, wooden
and cotton clothing. The free wool
proposal backed by President Wilson
and accepted by the House commit
tee, is expected to provoke severe
fight within the democratic ranks of
both Houses. 1t had not become clear
yesterday whether the democratic OPP
ponents of free wool and free sugar in
the Senate would be able to force a
compromise on, one or both those pro-
visions. The decision to make grad
ual reduction in the sugar tariff was
reached by the president and the
House committe after Louisiana cane
growers declined to accept COM
promise that would have established
a one-cent-a-pound tariff for three
years, with free sugar in 1916.
