Show AN INDEPENDENT VIEW OF THE TARIFF FIASCO All Parties And Persons Become Selfish When Dealing With This Great Game of i A CORRESPONDENT There Any Honesty in And answers the question when it comes to the tariff persons and papers become selfish when this splendid scheme of plunder is held up before the eyes of the corporations that make their millions out of this greatest American We think that is putting it rather We prefer to state the and then let our readers draw their own All we say to our constituents Are we right in our judgment on this If we tell us if we are show us The pages of this paper are open to every one who writes for the public The New Tariff The Tariff Bill now before Congress is a real white The more they groom the heavier and more burdensome it Most of the newspapers of the country are afraid to express an opinion or advance an argument either for or against the Payne tariff The Utah Independent is the only paper in the Intermountain country that has dared to be wholly outspoken on the subject of tariff The United States Senators and the Congressmen from nearly every state are United States lawmakers in name Both Democratic and Republican members are only State representatives on the tariff and all are working and lobbying only for the manufacturers and trusts from the states that sent are not working for the country at large nor for the greatest good to the largest The Democratic members will speak for a tariff for-revenue but when they come to like the forget they are United States and cast their votes for a high tariff to pro some combination or trust within their own Senator Bailey of Texas is a fair When the Payne tariff bill is finally it will be so loaded with personal and selfish protection to small sections and individual interests to the detriment of the country as a whole that the Senators and Congressmen of both parties will be ashamed of the work they have The Old British In the years 1842 and 1845 England went through her great tariff agitation just as we are doing In England had 1200 articles on her tariff schedule to be Sir Robert Peel proposed a bill making 5 per cent duties on raw 12 per cent on partially manufactured goods and 20 per cent on wholly manufactured An entire session of parliament was taken up in discussing the proposed In 1845 they had another long drawn out debate on the same But in they totally abandoned the so-called and with the exception of about 20 articles all imports were placed on the free England's tariff laws were called Corn To show our readers that the arguments advanced to-day in favor of protection were advanced in England previous to 1846 we quote from Chamber's Encyclopedia on the Corn or Tariff Laws to complete the The Plausible But the public

Taft described the condition to-day exists when the protective system of customs and the internal-revenue tax do not furnish enough The proposed revision of the Dingley duties alone will not produce enough additional revenue unless taxes on the necessaries of life are raised and the cost of living still further increased to millions of poor As the remarks Taft is a great constitutional In his
