WILSON VS. DINGLEY. " '1 X 4—— 7 4 i, former tariff maker exposes absurdities OF THE DINGLEY BILL SayK It In “the Most Ultra Protective Tariff Ever Proponed”—Will Encourage Truntn and Discourage American bailor—Maken Home Serious Reflections Upon the McKinley Bill an a Revenue Producer. Ex-P.ostinasfor General William L. Wilson is credited with the authorship of the tariff bill now in force. His hands were tied so that he could not make the .bill nearly as good as he desired to make it, and the bill as finally passed was not nearly as good as when it first passed the houfi’e. Ft was, how- I ever, a great improvement upon the Mb- ; Kinley bill and is a model as compared with the Dingley monstrosity. We j quote the following from Mr. Wilson’s ; criticism of the McKinley and Dingley ! bills in a recent number of the New York Herald: These bills are so nearly identical in general structure and particular items,excepting as to thq sugar schedule, that it may be well to consider the effect of the first bill on the revenue of the country. Both bills are vast and voluminous schemes of class taxation, the production of public revenue being an incident and entirely subordinate to the purpose of taxing all the American people for the benefit of a small part of the people. | The protectionist has but one remedy, I which he applies whether thfe-revenuo be redundant or deficient. If times are prosperous and more money than is needed pours into the treasury, he increases taxes by a scheme that turns the larger part of their avails into private pockets, and this reduces public revenue. If times are depressed and less money than is needed pours into the treasury, ho seizes the pretext of increasing public revenues by adding enormously to the amount of private exaction. The act of 1890, whatever its effects, did reduce revenue. From a large surplus it swept us hpadlong to a deficiency, although it weighted the people with heavier taxes and although another law, passed in July, 1890, turned into the treasury as a part of the general assets to be used for paying expenditures a trust fund of more than $54,000,000 which belonged to the national banks and had always been held for the redemption of their notes. Even before the Harrison administra- ! tion ended we should have been confronted with a large deficiency but for ■ the use of this trust fund and the further fact that Secretary Foster, by a change of bookkeeping, added to the treasury balance $20,000,000 of token and subsidiary coin not before treated as a treasury asset. With these extraordinary additions, even, we wound up the fiscal year June 30, 1893, with a surplus of only $2,341,674 as against a surplus for the fiscal year June 30, 1890, of over $85,000,000 before the above trust fund and subsidiary coin were touched. And during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1894, through all of which the McKinley bill was in force, expenditures exceeded the revenues to the amount of $59,803,260, notwithstanding the fact that the expenditures of the government were $15,952»674 less than in the-preceding year. This statement shows how absurd and groundless in the claim constantly made by the protectionists that recent deficits in revenue are due to the substitution of the existing tariff for the McKinley bill. Nothing-is more certain than that if the bill had. been in force during the last three years the annual deficit would have !'(■•.m immensely swollen’,- wfeile the people in a season of depression and hard times would have staggered under much heavier burdens of taxation. Even in this disastrous period, customs duties under the existing law have increased from less than §132,0.0.Q, (H)0 in 1894, the last year of the McKinley bill, to even 8152,600,000 in 1895 and to over $160,000,000 in 1896. In the sugar schedule alone the balance in favor of the existing law is about $55,000,600. The customs revenue reached nearly $40,000,000, scarcely .any of which would have been receivable under the McKinley bill. That the Dingley bill, present condi- ! tions considered, is the most ultra pro- j tective tariff fever proposed to be enacted in this country plainly appears from Chairman Dingley’s statement that if levied on the importations of 'the last fiscal year it would have increased the revenue $112,000,000 —that is to say, it would have gathered from an importation of $775,724,264 of imported mer- ■{ chandise thp enormous sum of $272,000,000, which is nearly $50,000,000 more than any customs revenue ever collected in one year in this country in the past. And to sliy that its rates will probably check dutiable imports to the extent of reducing the estimate to $70,000,000 is only another way of saying that to that extent such rates are prohibitory. I American consumers are shut in the home market to be preyed upon byconibiuations and trusts without possibility of relief from outside competition. Such combinations, by joining to keep up prices and to curtail production, wage more merciless war against„the employment, the opportunities and the compensation ot* American labor than any possible competition from abroad could do. The falling off of importations under the present law dispels the illusion that the American laborer is anywhere deprived of employment by the importation of foreign products. The gratifying increase in our exports of manufactures is equally strong proof that those laws are helping us to enter and com- j mand new markets, which means not only larger employment for our artisans, but more home consumers for our farmers. * ! The most retroactive feature of the Dingley bill is the provision for paying back tothe big manufacturers their campaign contributions.

Women's Dress Goods Will Come High. The extremely high duties which Dingley proposes to collect from women’s dress goods should be more generally understood by the women of this country. It is they who must suffer most because of these duties. Here are l a few samples of the increased duties taken from a list prepared by Mr. P. B. Worrall of the dress goods importing firm of Fred Butterfield & Co. of New York: “A wool and cotton cloth costing in England Is. per yard, equal to 24 cents in our money, weighing 16 ounces to the running yard, costs under the pres- I ent tariff 33.6 cents per yard, w’hile un- ■ der the proposed tariff it would cost I 67 8-16 cents per yard.

Cant Regarding Stage Setting. i We hear a great ileal of cant talked by those who insist that the ideal stage setting should be a green baize, whose decoration should consist'of placards inscribed, "This is a street,'* “This is a house,” “This is heaven.” In all this there seems to me something of affectation. If Shakespeare’s poetry could be better or more reverently illustrated by such means, I would say, “Take away those baubles of scenery, of cost ume and of archaelogical accessories.” It was-all very well for David Garrick to appeal in, a powdered tie wig, a Georgian coat and silk stockings when he was impersonating the Thane of Cawdor, but ho created the- effect, (which undoubtedly he did create) not by virtue -of the in- ! correctness of his costume, but in spite of it. The greater knowledge of historical periods possessed by our theater goers of today; the increased sense of" huinor, the demand for luxury, require general arid detailed illusion in the appointments of the stage, and to deny it to theater goers is to be affectedly superior to one’s age and belated in the movements of the time. Every artist uses the material which his generation places at his disposal. If the painter lacked paint and canvas, he would content himself with the flagstone and a piece of chalk; if the musician lacked a Stradivarius, he would still be, returning to the old tooth comb. But why complain of the canvas, and the paint, and the Stradivarius? The increase of picturesqueness in all the arts, the complete revolution in taste as regards house decoration, the greater cultivation of the eye—all these have tended to what has been contemptuously called the millinery of the drama. ' U ’ The barbers of India are deft and light of touch that they can shave a mau without awakening him. .-. ' j".
