Free Trade with a Handicap.

Congressman e. ]. Hill, of Connecti-
cut-"As understand it, the common
expression ola tax for revenue with
Incidental protection is meaningless.
There is no such thing as 'incidentai
protection, for II the tax laid on Inn
ported merchandise ID less than the
difference in the cost Of production Of
the like article here and elsewhere, It
means, SO far as the general require
ments Of the country for that article
are concerned, that 1t will come from
( the cheapest. producing point, which
means the transfer Of the industry to
foreign countries; and yet, after all,
strictly applied, tariff for revenue
only. would compel the placing Of the
tax upon such things only, as did not
enter into competition with any do
mestic industry.
.sAs between suchfa tax and English
fieeAtrade my;preference would be en-
phatically iorSthe English system. For
example, suppose that a duty was
placed on tin, or rubber, or raw silk,
or tropical woods. all of which are now
imported free and are, manufactured
into finished products here and arc
sent broadcast over the whole world,
II "a tariff for revenue was placed upon
these articles how would it be pos
ssible for us to maintain an export trade
ID competition with the other nations
OF the world where these things are hot
ddtiable? iEa=
n can reach but zone conclusion.
therefore, that the choicefof thesAmere
ieah people must ultimately Be made
between protective tariff which will
care for and preserve our home in
dnstrfes, or the English free-trade sys-
{ tenn and thatla tariff for revenue only,
as set forth by Democratic Doctrine, Is
nothing more or less than free-tfade
with q handicap" ~
