V^J American Economist, Onjan of Pr
These bills aro so nearly identical in
general structure aiul partirulnr items, l|
excepting as to the sugar seln dule, that 1
it may bo well to consider the effect of 1'
the first billon the revenuo ol' tin* conn j'
try. Both bills are vast ami voluminous j '
schemes of class taxation, the production 1 J
of public revenue being an incident and |
entirely subordinate to the purpose of i
taxing all the American people for the j1
benefit of a small part of the people.
The protectionist has but one romedx, i
which he applies whether the revenue j '
be redundant or deficient. If turn s are j 11
prosperous and mere n..niey than is v
needed pours into the treasury, be in '
creases taxes by a scheme that turns c
the larger part of their avails into pri- u
vate pock< ts, and this reduces public "
revenue. If times are depressed and h s
money than is neeiled pours into the | '
treasury, ho seizes the pretext of in
creasing public rcveittu - by adding ?
enormously to the amount of private exuctii
n. 11
The act of In'.io, whatever its other 1
<*flfccts, did reduce revenue. From a 1
large surplus it swept us headlong t<> a 11
deficiency, although it weighted tin* ' *'
people with heavier taxes and although
another law, passed in July, iMio,

, general .issots to 1?- used for paying ex ^

in revenue are due to the substitution b

Wilson is credited with tho authorship j tif
tho tariff lull now in force. Iiis|C'
hands wero tied ho that he could not i
make the bill nearly as pood as lie eh' |
sired to make it, and the bill as Finally
passed was not nearly us good as when (
it lirst pa ski d the house. It was, however,
a great improvement upon the Me- '
Kin ley bill and is a model as ronipuri d
with tin- Dingley monstrosity. We r'
quote the following from Mr. Wilson's v
criticism of the McKinley and Diugh v 11
bills in a recent number of the New '
York Herald;

The falling olT of importations under
lie present law dispels the illusion
lint the American laborer is anywhere
eprived of employment by the imporation
of foreign products. Tin* gratifyig
increase in our ixports of mamifacnres
is equally strong pr< ol that tln.se

under the McKiulev bill.
That the Din^ley bill, present comliious
considered, is the most ultra pro etive
tariff ever proposed to be enactil
in this country plainly appears from
hairman Ding ley's statement that if
vied on tho importations of the last
seal year it would have increased tho

rould have feathered from an importaion
of $7??r>,72-1,21)4 of imported merhandiso
tho enormous sum of $272,00,000,
which is nearly $"0,000,000
lore than any customs revenue ever
olleeted in one year in this country in
lie. past. And to say that its rates will
robuhly check dutiable imports to the
xtent of reducing the estimate to $70, 00,000
is only anotln r way of saying
hat to that extent such rates are proibitory.

Iniquitous Lumber Tariff.
"Tlio proposed tariff ou lumber," llio
Boston Transcript; (liep.) says, "is simply
a measure to pick tlio pockets and
crush the industry of a largo, useful aud
influential class of American citizens.
| It is uneconomic, unscientific, suicidal.
, The statements upon which this schedule
1 was made up are shown to have been
insidious and misleading. The result
will bo to strip the country not of an
i annually recurring income, hut. of its
white pine principal, which at present
j rates is within tin years of exhaustion,
] and also to ruin a large class of business
men iu this country who deserve better
! things. It does not seem possible that
men claiming to represeut ttio people
j will pe rmit sueh a measure to have the
force of law. If they do, it will cease
to he folly aud become iniquity."

With regard to Chairman Dingley's
admission that the duty oil wool will
increase the price of wool, the Kansas
City Times says: "The consumer and
not tin- foreigner, therefore, pays the
tariff tax. It, concedes also that the
home producer puts up his prices arbitrarily.
Mr. Ding lev's own words art? a
confession that the Dingley hill is a
fraud and a robbery of the people for
the 1m in lit of the few individuals and
corporations."
The most retroactive feature of tho
Dingley hill is tho provision for paying
hack to the big manufacturers their campaign
contributions.
