goodly portion Of it by the operation
Of this tariff bill
"Our people are willing to pay tax
es to meet the Governments obhga-
tions-there is no other way for the
Government to obtain money than
from the peope-but the people want
such taxes equitably laid. If our Gov
eminent is to remain solvent, it must
meet its obligations. I'm our opinion,
an import tariff tax is the least bur
densome Of all taxes upon the people,
for in most cases it is a tax upon the
foreign importer and not on the con-
sumner.
Il have said that if the tax upon
Congress TO raise revenue was no
greater now than as per prewar days,
it would be boys play; but such is
not the case The burden has in
creased fivefold. Before the late war
our annual Government expenditures
were 81 100000. Now they are,
in round. numbers, $4,000 100000.
However, we have passed the crest
Of the wave, and our annual expend-
itures can be materially reduced At
the end of the Civil War the public
debt was just below 000,000,000, or
about $SS per capita. At the close
of the late European war our debt
was ,O00,000,0 900 or about $3.50 per
capita, and about 7i2 per cent Of our
total wealth. BY deduction. from our
total public debt the sums owing to US
by the allied Governments, which is
Approximately $4,000, 100000, our
net debt at present IS about S14,000,-
100000 or about $138 per capita, and
about 4 = per cent Of our total wealth
til elowest Of that Of any principal
country in the world.
Assessing the duty on the value in
America would have substantially the
same desired result as a specific duty.
The rate charged against all countries
will be uniform and the United States
will not be required to question for
eign values or foreign costs.
"In the Underwood Act rates OF
duty wholly inadequate to protect
American industries were levied, and
yet the tariff law was unsatisfactory
from the viewpoint Of France, and
France would not consent to grant
America her. minimum tariff rates.
"Under the new tariff bill the Pres
ident could negotiate with France and
extend to France certain concessions
in exchange for concessions by
France. The American market is the
best market in the world, and in ex-
change for granting advantages in
the American market America will
receive liberal concessions by foreign
countries.
'Let me say to my Democratic
friends that we have been kind to you
You are children away from home on
a dark night. We will take care OF
you in spite of your efforts to the
contrary in this tariff law"
