THE question is often asked, what is meant by a free trade tariff

As defined by 1'rof. Sumner, and the agents of the Iroquois club of Chicago, and other free trade leagues in their speeches before the Tariff Commission, it is a tariff on things we do not, and canuot raise or make in this country, and absolute free trade is everything the like of which is raised or manufactured in nis country, so that foreign manufactures may hare free competition with. our,manufacturers.i It^ill be

seen by our examination of the

speeches referred to that they all assert this as the true '•revenue re

form" principle.

llKIH'OTHIN or TAXATION. Here are some figures from the

minority report of the i\vs and Means t'omniittee winch Kepubli-

cau speakers had better paste in

their hats: li is a striking fact that all of

the reductions of taxation which have occurred since the conclusion

of the war, with the exception of

the trifling ones made by the acts of March 1. 187^. and of May 20,

18S0. aggregating a little over $0.-

000.00*'. were accomplished while the partv now in the minority was

in the majority and in control of

legislation. A brief summary of what has

been done in this regard will be both suggestive and instructive.

I March 3, 1SS3.

I The Republican party was control of the House of Represen

tatives from the first named date to March 4. 1S7D. During that

period it will be observed that taxation was reduced and revenue di

minished in the .aggregate sum of

passed to the Democratic party and

remained with it until the 4th of March, 1S81. a period of six years.

.j these years the internal

l'rpsi- the 4th day of March, l.Sbl. the Republican party was reinvested

with control of the House of Rep-

holding it for two

years, during which time it reduced

taxation and the revenues from

customs sources in the estimated sum. ?'J0,S5ut7,.t(.l, and upou internal revenue. i?40,077.t)S2, a grand

total of §(')1.43:.4S1.

Since the 4th day of March. 1NS3. the House of Representatives has

been dominated by the present ma

jority party, a period of five vears, and no taxes )iavti been reduced and

no curtailment of the revenue has

taken place, although warned of a threatened surplus not only by the

present administration, but by the

proceeding one of President Arthur. It will be observed that from

1SIM5 to SS8, a period of twentytwo vears. the control of the House

of Representatives has been equally

divided between the two political parties, each having el-iven years

reduncd (-stlrnate«ll. IHirlnK the eleven years of l^etnocratn control the revenue- were reduced

February. lsS3, a large labor

protect ion meeting was held in New

York at which a letter from Peter

Cooper was read containing the following:

"1 have noticed in my own business life, extending over a period of nearly seventy vears. that cverv reduction of the tarilT or the tariff for revenue only plan) lias brought wretchedness and ruin, is the natural effect from such a cause. Nothing is more certain than that! the advocacy of fret trade conies from foreigners who want, to break up our industi its. They have done it several tunes already, and I.liey mean to do it again. The laborers of the old world get hardly enough to keep body and soul together, and that is the condition in which the advocates ot free trade are trying to place our laborers."

These words of the venerable philanthropist aie as true now as

they were five years ago. Though

dead he yet speaketh.

LEWIS HOWI.AXK wrote an article

in the Indianapolis News, in which

he argues that wages are not higher

than they used to be. and are no higher here than in England. All

this is most admirably answered bv

Mr. Mills in his speech in Congress in support of his little bill,

shows, from the books of

manufacturing establishments in Massachusetts, that wages are

double what they were in 1850. and

y«5

part during th* Dc-i):ocratis control

of the House the Senate was domi

nated bv the Republican party, and,

therefore, the retsponsibjlity of failure to reduce the revenues should

be alike shared by them, we answer. that under the Constitution

of the United States the House

alone can originate bills to reduce taxation, the Senate having no jur

isdiction of the subject until it is given to it by a bill which passes the House, and that during all these years no such bill has gone from the House to the Senate, and, therefore, the sole responsibility for

all the products of the labor cheaper than they were then. He cites these

facts to show that we do not need

protection, that we can pav higher

wages than England and get produce cheaper goods. Labor.in A mer-

ica, savs Mr. Mills, is more efficient than in England and for this reason commands higher wages. Free

traders have an immense amount of

trouble with their arguments to keep them from destroying each

other.

1)R. URUOKS. the Missouri ox-coa-

feclenitu :uid third party candidate for Vice-president, is coming out

in his true colors. In a rambling

harangue at Decatur. 111., a few days ago, he said:

"He had been a rebel, a slave

owner. and a fire-eating Democrat, but lie thanked God he had never

been a Republican. He wouldn't have that sin to answer for."

How do the old soldiers who are

inclined to vote the third party ticket like the utterance of this un

reconstructed rebel?
