According to Senator Voorhecs. the
our taxes that are now paid to the on
tilt of 878,670,000 annually "on the
wants, necessities and daily consump-
‘ tics of the laboring men, women and
, children of the United Sta " will be
moved. If it be proper to wipe out
1,376,670,000 of duty that has been col-
Ylsctsd under the McKinley tariff, which
a Senator Vcorhecs stigmatizes as "a gi-
gantic crime, ’-' is the senator not equal-
' ly guilty of connivance at crime by re-
, a single dollar's worth of such
duty? Is it that ”his lust for riches takes
alarm" when he sees so much revenue
slipping away from the treasury. and
that his “sordid, brutal selfishness” im-
peh him to keep a grasp even upon some
of the McKinley dollars, although they
make him a participator in “a gigantic
crime?"

Senator Voorhcos claims that the pro
reductions in the tarifl will save
“6,670,000 in taxation to the laboring
people. This would be correct upon the
supposition that our imports of foreign
goedswould be no more and no less dur-
ing the years to come than they were
during the year of protection. upon
which his calculations were made. But
he omits an msential feature in trade.
The mere fact of our havingaprotcctivc
tariff has been to prohibit the foreign
importatious, and the mere fact of low-
ering the tariff will very largely in-
crease such importations to an extent
that will also increase the "burden of
taxation. " The senator claims that every
dollar collected under the McKinley tar.
i! is atax. Every dollar collected under
thefreetrade tariff will be cquafly a tax.

be greater and the ultimate “burden of
Mon" greatcr.
Take an invoice of $1,000 for manu—
factors of cotton imported from Eng-
l-Id and now paying 50 per cent ad va-
lu'ssu duty. the McKinley tariff thereon
is .500. Take the free trade tarifl of 85
pa cent ad valorem, which will permit
$2,000 of foreign cotton to be imported
where only 81,000 are now imported,
and the tax will amount to .700. an in-
ereaseof $200 in the “burden of taxa—
tim” laid upon the poor people by the
Wilson tariff bill. The same rule may
be applied to allother commodities, and
the greater the difference between the
t and the proposed tariffs the
will be theirnports of the foreign
mouth. This view of the case has not
been presented by Senator Voorlwes or
any member of his free trade army.
They endeavor to make the people be-
liovc that ourimports will not be larger
when the tariff is lowered, and that the

A COMPROMISE TARll-‘F. '
The Democrats Tried It Once Before. and
the Country (inland Severely.
In view of the comproimse nature oi
the Wilson tariff bill it is well to refer
to thotariff act of 1833, which was in-
tended us a compromise and conciliato-
ry measure. The south was on the verge
of open rebellion, so determined were
they not to submit to the protective sys-
tem. Mr. Clay and congress did not in-
tend to give up the protective principle
of the act of 1828. But, like all such
compromise measures, it yicldcd just
enough to completely destroy its efficien-
cy, as was subsequently learned. to our
sorrow. It provided that by a sliding
in excise of 2!) per cent should be abol-
ished within a period of 10 years. In
its results and effects it was really an
abandonment of the protective princi-
ple, for the reductions allowed Were
soon found to afford “insufficient pro
toctiou,” which is practically no pro-
tection, as was so terribly proved under
the tariff of 1816. Industry and trade
soon decline. and again foreign goods
poured like an inundation into our mar-
hots.
Financial depression followed, as
signmeuts and bankruptcies resulted ev-
erywhere, manufacturers suspended op-
erations, and business grew worse and
worse till the culmination was reached
in the financial crush of 1837, one oi
the most appalling and disastrous finan-
cial rcvulsions ever known, severe!
even than that which followed the re-
peal of the first tariff in 1816.
The revulsion of 1887 produced a fill
greater havoc than was experienced in
the period above mentioned. The ruin
came quickly and fcuflully. There Were
few that could save themselves. Prop
erty of every domrriptiou was parted
