Detcit Due to Tariff Reductions.

A6UC1G LUG 10 1drlH fteUuCtlOnSs
That the depleted condition Of the
treasury is due to reduced tariff
rates rather than diminished impor-
atattons, is clearly shown by statistics
which disprove the following state
ment recently made by Secretary Of
the Treasury McAdoo:
Because Of the decrease Of i'm
ports on account of the war, we have
had an enormous deficit. This deficit
would have been vastly larger. how
ever, if the old tariff bill had been
depended upon. At least $130,00O,.
900 would have been added to the
deficit had the country depended ON
Z the old BILL"
That Mr.. McAdoo, ignorantly or
ntentionally misstated the facts will
be Eapparent when the records of his
own department are considered.
For the nine months OF the pres
ent year ended September, 1915.
there were imported into the United
States goods to the value Of ST.
800, 600, 900, in spite Of the war. On
these imports the government real

the Portland. Ore, Journal, Demo-

will happen unless we enact a tariff
law that will have the same effect as

the federal treasury realized revenue
in the sum Of s242,624,S59, or an
average rate 6f duty OF 1873 per cent.
the duties SO distributed as to af-
ford a fair measure Of protection to
all American industries and labor.
Had this average rate Of duty been
collected on the Imports for the first
nine months Of the present year, the
government would have realized rev
enue in the sum Of s238, 266. 900, or
$50 ,000,000 more than was actually
realized. For this period the low
duty rate OF the Democratic law rep
resents a monthly loss of $1O,0O0,-

Bear this in mind, the anemic condi-
ton of the treasury is not due to de-
creased imports but to the fact that
SO many are coming in without pay

ment.
On September 80, 1918, after
nearly seven months of Democratic
rule, the net balance in the general
fund of the treasury was S123,000,-

dent Wilson was inaugurated, this
balance amounted to $149. 000, 90.

business went to smash, and the rev.
enues began to dwindle. However,
due to the fact that Republican rates
on wool and sugar prevailed for a
portion OF that fiscal year, the treas
ury was able to limp thorugh with
but a small deficit on June 80. 1914.
With wool on the free list. the duty
OH sugar reduced, and millions of
dollars worth Of imports coming in
free, things went from bad to worse,
and the outbreak of the European
war was instantly seized upon as a
pletext for saddling the country with
the war revenue measure. Every
device known to tricky bookkeeper
was employed by Secretary McAdoo
to make a good showing for June so,
1915, and yet there was huge def
cit ON that date. On September 80,
1915, the net balance In the general
fund had sunk to less than $41, 000,-
