ional advisers I 1 presume there Is not a person the round of my boice who does not know what is meant by tile may aid us today to day if I 1 give a clear and P 0 cise dAini tion of a list is the tariff A tariff is a tax levied by the gemeril government upon every article of coin mares that conilues into tire united states and that to intended for sale within her borders and aich incidentally raises the price It therefore be corpes a tax or burden upon every of domestic manufacture of like nature with those which pay tariff tax we have according to the last advice about called eur that is taxes collected the people bey ties of the lying in the treasury of the united states of no bervice to any human being drawing In terear earning no profits but taken from the pockets of the people where they properly belong the party says that this Is a wrong condition socratic says thi s su lus rev parts lail Is pro cei in the by tariff ought to be re 11 laced and that taxes should be re deuced so that tills surplus will continue to accumulate our say it is better to let the a lug accumulate it to better to take oney from the pockets of the ople an pile it up in a he vaults or the ry that I 1 t Is better to do that titan to touch tile tariff laws of the united states we say on tile contrary rillave r an overtaxed over taxed is to re duce taxes we say that the way to treat the people honestly fairly and widely is to take no more taxes out of I 1 heir that the government ao t baly needs tile ai ue then Is fairly made up be tween us it is between high taxation on the otie hand and on the other it is between taking tile mone of tile out of their own contro T or leaving it where it belongs in the pockets of the poo pl I 1 have never biffi ased such an as I 1 have noticed this year on the part of tile advocates of a high il b tariff there beems to be a singular disregard of truth that has u affected them we are told that a hagh tariff makii tho coull try richer asif ia aker 0 a country by taxing leopla aint t task a pew way to lake a man rich into his pocket and take out what you and without tiny just reason what ever and yet is precisely the plan thes people tell us tj adopt to me ageda abey bavo I 1 I 1 I 1 I 1 I 1 I 1 I 1 I 1 1 I 1 I 1 d 1 l im 1 to any chils tax is paid 11 tile of the ur hi h re tax 1 it the con sumers do pay the tax I 1 would like to know

it la a curious fact and one of floe filings abbat the tar that while the govern ent e geto otie dollar revolting from he all domestic got a 1 az rs as it Is best estimated that never goes into the treasury at well how does toils happen A nan called an importer brings goods into the united states tobe odd ile cannot sell a a un and lie pays this earlif tax s pays the tax therefore anti then I 1 a to the whole sale tat of course he get this tax back in the price for which he sells or ho would lose money lie therefore put the tax on the original oost of the goods and with that price added and with tbt cost of transportation and his reasonable commercial profits he sells those 9 mho the ho lesile merchant the merchant sells to the read I 1 merchant andoe mires th is AT which enters into this price con blumes flumes in the price and to it is added the roat of the retail merchant then the retail merchant sells and of course lie must keep within tills for otherwise he would sell for

the of dutiable goods imported in to the unit ad states in 1887 were in value the taris duties collected were there were therefore in thal t single year taxes levied in the united states by the operation of 4 which went into the treasury of the united states auf that asi have told you was tha least part of thil domestic manu fac ture of the same kind amounted that yea r to that Is in other words to live thousand three hundred and sixty nine million dollars and as the price of those goods was malsed by the tariff in nearly equal proportion to the price of goods that were imported into the country tire amount which the beope halt in these high prices of u hat they had to buy and had to title amounted to abolia one choti and millions of dollars or five times all much as the tax received by the for the use of the government ern ment in other words the col antry wax taxed abacut one 4 thousand in illion dollard for the benefit of a comparatively small p of the count that Is

the tax isyou want authority let me refer yon to men who have spoken on the subject first I 1 will back to john quincy Ad atras in 1832 he was chairman of the louse co on in a re port made by him he said the doctrine abat batles of import seem to cheapen the price of articles on which they are levied seems to con flicht with the first dictates of common sence constitute part of he price of tile whole mass of tho arl I 1 ie a in the market it 19 paid upon an article of 11 hat of foreign production ioa we say eca long as im portacio i continues the duty must be paid by the purchaser of the article to the extent of tile additional duty we cannot subscribe therefore to the doctrine chilt duties on imports pro of our own manufactures were paid by the foreign merchant or manufacturer 11 president arthur in his annual message in 1882 said 1 I recommend an enlargement of the fres list that is of goods that pay no du Y so as to embrace within it nu ferons articles which yield an inconsiderable revenue a simplification of the complex and inconsistent schedule of all baties upon manufactures particularly thosa of cotton iron and steel and a bial reduction of duties upon those artitles and upon fular wool and afi that Is prez loe V y w I 1 t the mail do and yet those gentlemen hat are howling around about the of protection and the ruin that the democrats are bringing on the
