The British chancellor of the ex-
chequer has thrown his free trade
theories to the dogs and recommended
an increase in tariff duties in order
to raise more money for the war. He
proposes other taxes, but the higher
tarin is the most significant. for he
says that IF by taxation we can re-
strict imports. reduce consumption
and bring revenue. we shall have
found the ideal fiscal system"
If he would omit the second of his
three characteristics of an ideal sys-
tenn. or revise it so as to call for de-
velopment of national industries, he
would have created a formula which
the soundest protectionists could not
improve.
The protective tariff differs from
all other taxes in that 1t serves a
double purpose. 1t produces revenue
for the government and 1t produces
work at high wages for the people.
It keeps in the country a greater pro-
portion of the wealth produced than
any other taxation system ever de-
vised. Old-fashioned British theories
have to be abandoned in this great
crisis, when expedients that will raise
real money must be found lest the ma
ton perish. = Philadelphia Public
Ledger.
