Show TAX ON NONCOM PETIT IVE AR 4 tho the seattle post says sir mr cleveland insists that the consumer pays the duty on imported gooda goods and ignorant or impudent democratic demagogues point to the fact that sugar lias has fallen in price binco since the duty ba has been taken off of course when the duty is taken off of competitive noncompetitive non goods the price to the consumer is lowered no protectionist denies that the consumer pays the duty on competitive noncompetitive non articles and for this very reason the framers vf of the mckinley protective tariff placed sugar on oil the free list the duty on oil sugar was a revenue duty not a protective duty because after a century of effort wo we raised less than a tenth of the sugar we consumed when a duty is laid upon competitive products the foreign producer is forced to reduce his price to meet the increased duty and thus he lie pays a part if not all of the duty and saves it to the consumer the interior or domestic competition also forces down the price as is the case of steel rails salt and many other articles where industries have multiplied 10 under protection it was the failure of the sugar industry to increase and supply our home market with sugar that designated designate sugar for its present place on the free list there was no domestic competition possible it was practically a non campeti tive industry and of course the consumer paid the tax the growers of tea coff coffee e and sugar have no competition in X the united states they make the price w aliat I 1 at they please are not affected by the duty for they are in a position to make the consumer pay the tax the sugar tax was therefore purely a revenue tax and for this reason under protection this competitive noncompetitive non article of sugar was placed on the free fren list with salt it was different wo we protected salt because it was a competitive industry and under protection the industry became rapidly developed and internal competition soon lobed the tho price down from a barrel to ba 0 cents a barrel including the barrel 1 the protection to steel rails through internal competition forced them down from n a ton in 1869 to about 30 a ton in 1891 1 I 1 11 we insist on a full reorganization 0 n af of the financial department the establishment if s of separate funds that warrants issued be drawn on tho the

law our wool growing industry would jw be destroyed the figures of markets do not agree with the figures of theories the market figures govern business and they are am such that if the freo free wool bill passed by bv the democratic house last winter had become a law our idalio idabo flocks would now have been valueless the decline in london lias has ciar carried ried prices down to such a point

dealers instead of going abroad for their goods would purchase them in their own country would buy goods made by american labor they would not have to grumble about that tariff they would have no
