The Champion of High Tariff Says the Consumer Pays the Bill. [Louisville Courier-Journal.] _ Major McKinley came dangerously near giving his whole case away in a recent speech in Ohio. He said: “In the case of a protective tariff, it may for a time be paid by the consumer while we are building up the industry but when we have reached the successful manufacture of any product in the United States under a protective tariff, competition at home fixes and regulates the price, and the consumer does not pay the tax." This is, in substance, the old plea for infant industries, or what General Gar. field called a protective tariff that leads to free trade. When competition at home so fixes the price that the consumer pays no tax, the tariff is wholly inoperative and does not protect. In other worda the Major admits that the consumer pays the tax so long as the tariff is protective, and no longer. Unfortunately for the infant industry argument, the longer the infants are protected the higher rate of protection they demand—a demand which Major McKinley hastened to concede. FINING THE CONSUMER. A local importer of undei wear bought certain garments before the McKinley tariff law wesenacted at SlGand $21,50 a dozen. After the McKinley bill became a law he had to pay $lB and $24,50. Now, by lega 1 decision, this underwear is no longer allowed classification as underwear. It must be classified as “wearing apparel,” which is taxed higher by the McKinley law. Last week this merchant had a letter from the Eastern dealers, which says: The enclosed price list we issued on April 1 in cousequence of a decision by the United States Circuit Court making our goods dutiable at 49i cents a pound and 60 per cent, advalorem. This list governs a.l future sales. The list means the goods above referred to still further advanced, respectively to S2O and $26,50. Before[tbe McKii.ley law they were, respectively, sl6 and $21,50 The advance is solely on account of the tariff and its construction by the couits as above set out. Who p.iys it? The consumer and no cne else; just as the remission of the sugar tariff shows th .t it was the consumer who paid it. So it is always. In the underwear case spoken of, similar goods are not made iu this country. The McKinley law simply fines an American an additional four or five dol. lars if he buys this undei wear which he can not buy any other way.—Exchange. to'-*—. In another column of th<s paper appears an advertisement of Dr. Bea, representing the Medical and Surgical Institute of Louisville, Ky. This Institute is one of the largest and best through the South and none but competent physicians are connected with so noblel an institution. — —.— * When Baby waa sick, we rave her Castoria, When aha waa a Child, she cried for Castoria, Whea sha baoame Miaa, the elung to Caatoria, Whea she had Ch IM raa, she gave them Caatoria.
