A DUTY ON ORANGES

Encouraged by their large majorities
in both house and senate it is safe to
say the Republicans will enact the
most outrageous protective tariff ever
written ON the statute books and
though this would probably result in
their defeat at subsequent election,
a tariff once enacted cannot be chang
ed until the party opposed to it sue
ceeds in securing control OF both
branches of congress and in electing
president. While the manufacturers
will take for their own benefit all the
substance of the tariff they will try
to bride other classes with the
shadows and it is probable that they
will try to bride Floridians with the
proposition of increasing the duty on
oranges.
So far as this paper is concerned
it's attitude on the tariff question is
fully expressed by the declaration that
it is not right to tax one man for the
enrichment of another. 1t is also true
that no industry that is profitable
needs protection and no one that is un-
profitable deserves it. We are not
concerned about who is to receive the
fruits of robbery. We are opposed TO
robbery and would be as much opposed
TO it if it were proposed to give the
swag to Floridians as to anyone else.
Another thing about protection is
that the Democratic party has always
been opposed to it. We do not speak
of this convention or that or another
but of all Democratic conventions. OPP
position to protection is and has al
ways been the very foundation stone
of Democracy and no Democrat can adj
vocate protection without violating the
essential principle of his party
But putting this aside and consider
ing the question purely from the stand
point of the division of the loot, the
Floridian who would insist on an in
crease in the duty on oranges would
show an ignorance inconceivable. No
plunderers gang was ever more closely
banded together than are the pro-
/ tectionists. They give and take and
| thus they make their conspiracy sue
cessful This industry is given this de-
gree and that is given that degree and
| the other given the other degree Of
protection The conspiracy would not
be possible of accomplishment but for
proposed division among the con-
spirators.
Now as to oranges IL duty of a
million dollars per orange were impos-
ed it would not add one cent a carload
to the money the orange growers OF
Florida would get for their fruit for.
while this country produced about fifty
million dollars worth OF oranges last.
