EXTRACT FROM THE TARIFF SPEECH OF HON. T. J. WOOD, OF IND.

Mr. Wood said: Mr. Chairman, I regret any contest between the great industries of the country, and I am not here to strike one of them, but to bring them into harmonious relations by pointing out the abuses of our protective system. Their differences are business questions arising from the changing conditions of a new and growing country and from the present unjust and unequal tariff act. The protectionists can not through partisan warfare silence the reasonable demands of great industries like agriculture and transportation, which have so generously supported them over a quarter of a century.— The people have the right to insist upon a fair distribution of burdens and the s radual repeal of class legislation. There is common ground for adjustment and harmony It is wisdom for the industry possessing the greatest advantages through a law of Con* gross to divide them with others of equal importance and insure the business stability of both. The proposition before the House is reduction of tariff taxation. The public reasury is overflowing with an idle surplus. Shall Congress ; permit high taxation to continue without necessity? Duties upon imports should be evied to raise revenue sufficient to support the Government, pay its just debts and obligations. No higher duties are necessary for any interest of the country at the present time. This kind of tariff makes sufficient revenue the object of the law and protection to home industries the incident. This is tlie fcDemocratic doctrine. A protective tariff makes protect on to home industries from foreign competition the law, and sufficient revenue the incident, which is Republican doctrine. Which one.is best for the people of the whole country? Not which is best for New England or Pennsylvania, Indiana or California. We are aided in choosing one of these doctrines by an examination of the present tariff act, enacted in 1861 as a* war measure. It has been amended several times since,and may now be called a high protective and partially prohibitory law. The Democratic platforms of all the States condemn this law in unmeasured terms, and no Republican platform ever written indorses it. They are for nrotection, they say. Then why do not their platforms indorse the present tariff act as the work of the party? No, they skillfully avoid that by advocating a protective tariff. If the present law is right, let it alone: but if it is wrong, we should try to correct the wrong. Party integrity forbids concealment ot our intentions on this great public question until we have the power to enact a law. The cause of tariff reform needs no evasion now for future advantage. GROSS INEQUALITIES. The present law contains gross inequalities, which impose the greatest burdens upon labor and men of moderate means, while those able to stand the i ..; lens of taxation bear the lea.-t of all. The law provides that all low-priced goods, such as poor people must buy, shall pay nearly double the duty that fine grades of goods pay, which are purchased only by men of ample means. The purpose of this law was to levy the highest tax upon all goods that laboring people must buy. Why? It is fair to say that forty mib lions of our population are

NUMBER 15

poor people and persons of small estates. They buy large quantities of low-priced goods of all kinds, and a high tariff upon them brings enoi mous profits to the manufacturer. — This was wrong, for labor should be lightly burdened, because poorest paid. In another way the law is unjust. All agree that the citizen should pay taxes 011 his property values only. If he. pays more tax than his neighbor who owns many times his property, it is an unjust and partial exaction, and he is deprived of one right of American citizenship—e qu a l taxation by the law. It is impossible to compel the rich men and corporations in this country to pay their share of indirect tax under this unequal law, and it is quite as impossible for the poor to escape a greater tax than they slio’d pay. This objection should be enough among fair-minded men. There are many thousands of men in this country worth from fifty thousand to hundreds of millions of dollars, not considering vast corporal e wealth. A poor man buys SIOO in woolen or mixed woolen goods per year, on which the average duty is 65 per cent. Here lie {jays '65 as an indirect tax while his property will not inventory SI,OOO. .The millionaire pays this indirect tax also when he buys protected goods, but his most extravagant consumption will not beam to make Ins indirect taxation as high as that paid by the man owning SI,OOO. If the man worth SI,OOO pays $65 indirect tax upon <IOO of woolen goods, his annual purchase, how much tax must the millionaire pay fp be equal with him? He must pay ten hundred times $65, or < 65,(XX). The millionaire must pay $65,000 on this one article to make his indirect tax equal to the indirect tax of - 65 paid by the man owning 1,000. rt requires one thousand people to pay >65 each to be eqiuil to the 65,000 which the millionaire never pays, but which he should do on the basis of equal taxation. This he does not begin to do. This calculation applies to the purchase of all other imported goods. In proportion to property values the rich man pays comparatively nothing, while the poor man pays an extravagant tax. Ihe indirect tax, under the protective system does not touch the wealth of the country, but falls upon the person, and very hard upon the laboring man, for he sho’d not be burdened more than his wealthy neighbor. It is a high tax upon property purchas3d, not upon property owned, which unavoidably bears hard upon poor People. It beingja tax paid by the person when he buys protected goods, it follows that over 40,000,000 of our population, old and young, pays nearly all the indirect tariff tax, while the wealth of the country pays comparatively nothing. If this system of taxation is necessary then it should be as low as can be with a view to sufficient revenue. ihis system overrules the whole theory of American taxation. All bankable wealth, all corporate wealth, all other wealth escapes undei the present tariff law. If we must have a high indirect tax to protect home industries it ought to be based upon property values; then wealth could not go comparatively free. If there can not be an approximate equality of the burdens of taxation, then we should abandon the system rather than burden the Poor of our country. I regret £0 say that a Republican Congress made this unjust and unequal law and maintained it ever since 1861, tho’ its wrongs upon the consumer were frequently pointed out. In 1882 a reform of this iniquitous law was attempted, but the w rk then done was not reform at all. The Tariff
