OBJECT OF DUTIES. REVENUE AND PROTECTIVE TARIFFS DISCUSSED. BraMM WTiy the Ad Valorem I* Better _ Than the Specific System—Protected Monopoly Favors the latter; the Massea Stand by the Former. While mest of the changes made in the Wilson bill by the senate subcommittee have been bad, and very bad, there has been one change that is most commendable Many dn!* s, and espoi dally those in the chemical schedule, have been changed from specific to ad valorem. Senator Mills, who more thanany other man is probably responsible for these changes, gives the following reasons in favor of ad valorem duties: “There are two opposing policies about tartfk Ono is that the principal object of the duty should be to protect the domestic product against foreign competition. The other is that the duty should be laid for revenue and for that alone. Thase who have advocated the protection theory have clnng with tenacity tp .the specific duty, or the duty on quantity, as yards, pounds, tons, dozens or other. The friends of the revenue policy have clung to the rate by values, or ad valorem, as it is called. The ad valorem system informs every citizen of the amount of tax imposed on each article. The specific system conceals it Horses may bo taxed f 30 per head. If the horse were worth $10, it would be 800 per cent and an unreasonable tax, which would bring no revenue beeauso such horses could not be imported, but it would protect the domestic raiser cf such stock. We have that tax now under existing law, and it excludes all cow ponies, and the government loses the revenue it would get with a revenue dut^r. The tax on the quantity—the specific article—conceals from the people the fact that it is 800 per cent on the value. “These instances might be extended indefinitely. I will give one more instance. Pearl buttons are taxed 2% cents per line. Who knows what the tux is on this little necessary of life by this description? It is on all the clothing of all the children of the poor. The specific duty is over 143 per cent. Who would have had the effrontery to have written down in the tariff law a duty of 148 per cont on pearl buttons? Protectionists cling to the specific duty because it is the most efficient instrument of exorbitant taxation, and for the same reason Democrats oppose it “Again, it discriminates against the poor by charging higher rates on the cheap articles that the poorer people must buy. A duty of 50 cents on a yard of cloth worth $1 will be 60 per cent; on the doth worth 60 cents per yard it would be 100 per cent and on a yard of cloth worth 25 cents it would he 200 per cent It is therefore an unequal and an unjust tax. This discrimination runs through the whole system from top to bottom. “Again, if the specific quantities had the same value at the time of imposing the duty, the tax burden grows heavier as the years roll on, because the inven.tion of machinery that multiplies production and lowers its cost, which is going steadily on, is increasing the tax all the while. A tax of 25 cents on a yard of cloth that costs today $1 would be 25 per cent. If the cloth falls to 50 cents per yard, the tax rises to. 50 per cent, and if the cloth falls to 25 cents per yard the duty rises to 100 per cent Prices have been falling for 60 years, and to a considerable extent within the last 30 years, and nothing is better un-' derstood among protectionists than that falling prices mako rising duties for the benefit of the domestic producer. “Every ono understands the ad valorem rate. All the taxes in all the states, counties and cities are ad valorem. All the commercial business of the world is carried on by value. Every purchase and sale of goods is by value, and it is the merest trifling with the common sense of the people to say that duties cannot be honestly collected when imposed by ad valorem rates. In 1846, when the Democratic party struck boldly out for tariff reform, President Polk urged ad valorem duties on congress. “Secretary Robert J. Walker pressed upon congress the importance of abandoning specific duties and making a tariff for revenue with ad valorem duties. The great tariff of 1846 had not oho specific duty in all its schedules. It brought such an excess of revenues to the treasury that in 1857 another tariff had to be made, still further reducing duties, and that, like the tariff of 1846, was exclusively ad valorem. “There have always been somo Democrat who advocated specific duties, but they are protectionists. They were guarding the interests1 of certain classes, not the interests of the masses. The Democratic masses today are for ad valorem duties, and to abandon that policy is to abandon the fight. ’*

Act First and Talk Later. If senators must talk, why not pass the Wilson bill first and do the speechmaking afterward? The ponderous, interminable and exhausting treatises on protection or the financial and economic history of the world, the slashes at McKinlevism or “Democratic free trade,” will read just as well in The Record and be just as potent in influencing public opinion a year or two hence as now. If the senators want to win the gratitude of a long suffering public and a much enduring business community, this is the way to do it.—Springfield Republican. __ A Mongrel Bill. The Wilson bill is based on a principle—free raw materials and reduction of customs duties all along the line. The McKinley law is also based on a principle—protection fear the sake of protec tion, regardless of revenue. But the senate bill is a mixture of both ai d would simply represent log rolling legislation. The people do not want it —-Tecumseli Herald.

PROSPERITY WITHOUT PROTECTION, j Wl>at Free Trade and a Graduated Land j Tax Have Done For New Zealand. Protection never had many legs to stand upon. The United States has been the only highly protected country that has enjoyed a reasonable measure of prosperity for any considerable length of time Such prosperity as we have had has been dne to the fact that wo have free trade from ocean to ocean and from gulf to lakes. Nowhere else on I the globe is there such freedom of exchange between so many progressive | producers with such opportunities to J i production. ! In Europe protection’s record is bad. i The most highly protected countries, : like Italy, Russia, Germany and France, | are clearly behind England and Holi land, where trade is most nearly free. Australia was making good progress ! until its different -colonies began to . ! adopt protective tariffs about 10 years ! ago. The disease spread rapidly, and i soon all the colonies were laid up with j it In 1892 u panio occurred from which I Australia has not yet recovered and I from which it is not likely to recover j until its colonies again open trade with I each other and with the rest of tho world, j In 1891 one of tho Australian colonies, j | New Zealand, concluded to experiment I j in another direction. It cut off most of I its tariff duties and began to tax large v land holders. A graduated tax was laid j on the owners of land worth $25,000 or more. The larger the holdings the larger the tax. Twenty per cent extra was asI sessed on all lauds in the hands of absentees. Improvements to the extent of $1-5,000 were exempted from taxation. John D. Cobnolly, our corral at Auckland, has just made a rep* t on “Land Taxation In New Zealand.” Advance sheets of his report, published by the state department on March 15, arc most interesting reading to all who are anxious to improve the condition of mankind. Mr. Connolly bogins by saying that “in the matter of taxation New Zealand excels as compared with the other Australian colonies and perhaps with many older countries. ” Instead of the country ocing ruined financially, as most of the moneyed men there said it would be, its credit is better today on the London money market than is that of any other colony of Australasia. ” Large holdings of land are diminishing, and opportunities for employment are thrown open to the people. Thousands are flocking there from protection ridden Australia. In short, New Zealand is prosperous, and prosperous at a time when not only her nearest neighbors are in a most, wretched condition, but when all of the rest of the civilized world is in the dumps. There are no effects without causes. It will pay our citizens to study the causes of New Zealand’s unusual prosperity. Byron W. Holt.

Oar Prosperous Industry. Go to the hen, thon whining, tariff protected manufacturer! Learn her ways and be wise! The Wilson bill proposes to take away the protection of 5 cents per dozen and to put eggs on the free list. Have the | hens closed their shops and send a cackle of lamentation to congress,, declaring that they cannot possibly maintain their standard of living and compete with the pauper hens of Canada and of Europe? Have they formed themselves into “egg layers’ home market clubs” or “hens’ protective tariff leagues” to produce a big impression at Washington? Have they printed long tables of statistics showing that their product is more important than that of our iron mines or that of both our gold and silver mines? Have they showed the great difference in wages and the cost of living here and abroad? Not they. While the proprietors of other protected industries have been bemoaning their prospective loss of ^protection, the hens have redoubled their efforts, j They are laying more eggs and cackling louder and happier than ever before. Apparently they no longer regard their industry as an infant one and will welcome the day when they can compete, without any unfair advantage, with their half starved sisters in Canada and Europe. During the week before Easter 60,000,000 eggs arrived in the markets of New York city, mainly from the west Our total imports for 1893 were only 3,295,842 dozens, less than 40,000,000 eggs. Thus a single single city in one week takes 50 per cent more eggs than our total imports for a year. Surely our hens may well feel proud of their record. They are doing their best to relieve the present depression by producing large quantities of eggs at low prices. In fact, the idea of forming a trust to restrict production, maintain prices and thus to get the benefit of the duty, sterns never to have entered the heads of our domestic hens. It would be well for this country if those engaged in other industries would adopt the simple philosophy of our hens and attend strictly to business under all kinds of tariffs.
