IKAHLY TAX OF 30 1Kll Why Our CENT- - Agricultural I.xports Pro- ducts Arc Rapidly Pec lining Our exports tor 1S81 were valued at 1883.95. 947; in 1888 they had dwindled tot683.862.iu4. Our surplus agricultural products ported dwindled from $730, 394.913 ex- in to 1500,840, 086 in 1S88. The total decrease was t199.c63.843, while the decrease in agricultural products was $229, 554.857. There was an actual increase 111 tne exports of other products by 30,491,014, so that ihe whole loss fell upon agriculture. Vast areas of the public domain have been opened up to settlement during the past seven years. Four new Slates have been admitted. The population has increased, but not so fast as the means of production by new and approved .methods alone, without counting the millions of acres added. What is the reason for this decline of nearly one-thir- d in the exports of agriculture? The average yearly lax of 30 per cent, levied upon it. This alone. It makes not the slightest difference to the farmer whether his Government levies an export lax of 30 per cent, upon his wheat going out of the country, or whether his Government waits until he is paid and seizes 30 per cent, of his payment when it comes into the country. It makes uot the slightest difference to the farmer whether he ships his grain direct to Liverpool and imports his payment as a return cargo, or whether he sells to the middleman of his nearest town and a thousand agents perforin the work through a thousand of trade and commerce. The result is the same. He must either pay the average tax f 30 pet cent, directly when he imports his payment, or have it deducted from the price of his product when some one else buys it for export intending to import the payment. By no subterfuge can he avoid this average tax ol 30 per cent. The tariff is not to be evaded by him. It is true that he may load his ship with grain and exchange it in Liverpool for its value in amher beads or live snails which are on the free list and may be imported without tax; but if he exchanges it for white lead, wire cloth, win. castor oil, rice or baking soda, his whole return cargo will be seized and he will be sued for the balance due the Government, for the tax on them is mote than he paid lor them, over too per cent. If he takes steel rails, salt, starch, tobacco, varnish, or scoured wool, he will have a remnant left ranging from 2 to 14 per cent. The Government only takes 86 to 98 per cent, as its tax. Nobody wants the amber beads or snails, he cannot make the other pay, so he lets the middleman settle it, and after all their exchanges are settled up there is an average tax of 30 per cent, to pay on what he exported or on his payment for what he exported. Our imports are the payment we receive for our exports. Our agricultural products exported have dwindled from 81 per cent, of the whole amount in i860 to 73 per cent, in 1888. Then, in 1SS8 only 73 per cent, of the imports were, by and large, in payment for agricultural products exported. The tax levied at our custom-house- s on imports, 1888, was 1213.509,801. As 73 per cent, was in payment for agricultural products exported, the tax on the farmers was 1881 by-pat- 0155, 062,134.-17- . Every dollar of this tax the farmers of this country paid on the small amount of goods taken in exchange for their exported agricultural products. It was a tax levied on their grain fields. They were the last in the chain, and had no one to reimburse them. Every one else passed the tax along. The farmer paid dollars out of it. It took 22 the pocket of each farmer in the land to do it; or, to be absolutely accurate, 22 which he had earned were not paid him, but withheld. He was 22 short and compelled to give a receipt 111 full. This tax was not needed. It is not levied for revenue. It is imposed solely to protect an aristocracy, numbering less than 22,000, null ownets, from the competition of American farmeis. What the farmer imports in payment for his surplus exported grain enters into direct competition with what is made in their mills. What they make is not taxed. What the farmer buys abroad with his grain is taxed 30 per cent. The null ownets untaxed manufactures and the farmei's 30 per cent taxed mamifac-lme- s die sold in the same maiket at the same price. There is even now the keenest competition between the manufacturer and the farmer to supply the "home market with what it requires; out the farmer would make all the profits and fortunes if the manufacturers were not protected from him by this tax. The manufacturer, controling Congress r)d the Republican Party, has im hard-earne- d posed upon all surplus faun products ex-- p rted an average tax ,f 30 per cent., but it is only collected on the payment when it nmis into the country and enters into competition with mill woik Me wants to drive 2, 000,000 farmers oft the farm, leaving only enough to supply the United States, and to limit the American farmer to the American market; but it is not probable he would be Content with that or with les than the total u in of our farming interests and the purchase of grain abroad with his surplus manufactures. Is it any wonder that agriculture is declining; that our agiicultuial exports have dwindled $229,554,857 in seven years; that farming does not pa? Can any unprotected industry pay a yearly tax of 30 per cent and prospei? But why the farmers of this country vote at each election to increase the taxes levied by the upon the payment the farmers receive from abroad for their exported surplus is beyond my ability to fathom. They must understand this question clearly and know what their vote means. Will some reader of The World induce a Republican farmer to write out his reasons for publication? The editor will surely print them, as a matter of news, and every reader off The World will certainly give them the most though' ful and careful consideration. T. E.
