"SOT A PROTECTIONIST." j SENATOR M'LAURIN SPEAKS OUT J.N THE TARIFF DEBATE. Denounces the Present Bill as a Sectional Measure and Will Try to Amend It in the Interest o! his State and Section. j Senator McLaurin made his first set j speech in the Senate a short time ago | in reply to the charges made against j him at home and elsewhere that he is j a Protectionist. In the course of his j remarks he paid* his respects to Sena-1 tors Vest and Mills, who recently criticised him and other senators for voting for a duty on lumber, rice and cotton. He nad his manuscript before him, but he did not have to refer to it, as he was thoroughly equipped for the j occasion. His speech was listened io I with marked attention on both sides I of the chamber, and even those who | differed wit& his conclusions admit! that he made a very strong argument j tnot; fvpp raw material is not! KV ObVTT ?um? one of the cardinal principles of the j Democratic party. He said : Mr. President: I desire to call the atfen- j tion of the Senator in charga of this bill i to Paragraph 342, and inquire why a duty j is imposed on jute bagging for covering] cotton, while in another paragraph bind-1 ing twine is placed on the free list? If such discrimination can be defended I j am certain that such, defence would be lis-1 tened to with very great attention. If such j a policy can be justified by any rule of national legislation its advocates should hasten to make the disclosure. To my mind it assumes the form of studied and pernicious sectionalism; of a deliberate and premedi - ' * - *-? tated attempt to pumsu wc wuyu ^nauivi of the South ana tavor the grain grower of the North and West. In my opinion it admits of no other construction. In fact, a careful examination discloses the' ear marks of sectional advantage Tunning all through the provisions of the bill, which should be a source of profound regret to every one intern-ona-raT Wolflirp ilf ftlll COmmOIl COOtU AU IWV ^VUV* Mil H VMM* W country. The South seeks no advantage and only asks for equal rights under all national legislation. Sound policy, if nothing else, should secure to us these rights, since continued injuries to the South must, in the near future, react on the balance of the country. "When I consider the evident unfairness of this measure I must confess to a feeling of alarm that the spirit of oppression yet prevails, and that the South must con> tinue to subserve the greed and avarice of me JfEW ENGLAND ROBDEKS K.\P0SE1>. This measure will doubtless pass and become a law. There is little hope of changing many, if any, of its oppressive features. Yet I desire to go on record as protesting against sectionalism, and demanding justice and equality for the industries of the Souin. Going further into the details of the bill I find free binding twine for the Northern farmer and taxed cotton ties and jute bagging for the Southern planter: protected wheat and com for the North and, until recently, free cotton for the South. The Senate committee attempted to protect me Northern railroad tie industry and leave the Southern tie industry to Sght for itself. As i the bill came from the House there were free hides for New England and taxed boots and shoes for the balance of the country. I find Northern linseed oil protected 20 cents per gallon and Southern cotton seed oil but 4 cents per gallon. Maple sugar for Vermont and the North is protected 4 cents per pound, while the tar of Georgia and the Carol in as is put on the free list. The turpen. t?TiA of Srtnth is r>ut on the free list. while the maple syrup of the North is protected by a duty of 4 cents per pound. | Northern hay is protected ?3 per ton, while Southern oil is placed on the free list. Cotton waste is found on the free list, while New England shoddy is protected 20 cents per pound. I might continue this list of discriminations to a greater length. I might take up the list of manufactured products and show j that certain grades manufactured in the South are not protected in proportion to other grades in similar lines manufactured at | the North. I might analyze the iron, coal and other great industries and show how the Eastern monopolists have arranged their intricate schedules to plunder the South. I j might point to the outcome of the recent contest over railroad ties, rice and cotton schedules as farther evidence of the sectional animus of this bill. If all the tricks and schemes of the N'ew England manufacturers and Eastern importers could be fully exposed the people would be amazed at their extent and the cunning manipulations which Sxed them in that bill. But I have already pointed out enough to sustain my contention that this bill is framed upon sectional lines, and is unjust and injurious to the South. Even in its provisions of reciprocity with Hawaii the South bear3 the burden, while the North, as usual, reaps the benefit. I venture the assertion that '.'0 per cent of the free imports from those islands come in direct competition with Southern industries, while 90 per cent of the exports to those islands are Northern productsorrosED to a sectional bill. While I disclaim most positively any attempt to stir up sectional strife or sectional animosities, I feel a sense of deep concern over the sectional features of this measure. Without intending to criticise anyone, or in any manner assume superior knowledge, I give it as a matter of personal opinion if those who are opposing this bill had taken time to thoroughly analyze its sectional pro V.L3XVUO, cUiU Xi/ s/iiU V*-t IUUI. ic^uv cw persistently and intelligently as thi-y now are on other lines, the bill might have been defeated, or a full measure of justice and lair play secured. I believe that there are those on the other side of this chamber who would recognize these unfair conditions and vote with us to correct the wrong. Mr. President, in a speech upon this bill, while under consideration at the other end of the Capitol, I took occasion to disclose the result of sectionalism in previous tariii'iegislation, and the disclosures made at that time have so far remained uncontradicted. I gave JkilS J AA?P>AAWW*?><a ? V rt /"3 J fV Luc a,uu duiuruid wiiuci. uiu^ uiuciexit sections of the country wiih reference to the decrease in -wealth, the accumulation of wealth, and the distribution of capital and wealth. In each and every instance the result favored the manufacturing and money lending States. I will quote the conclusions given at that time. Here followed an extract from Mr. McLaurin's tariff speech in the House. Mr. President, the more I examined the I triAWAii/vhlrr T tria imrvfOWOOil I v kUVi jl nao with the belief, that the people of the South were being plundered, and that as a rule we were giving more attention to the propaganda of a political theory than the material interests of our constituents. Acting upon this belief, I demanded of the committee of ways and means an equalization of the benefits of this measure between the North and the South. I asserted that if the policy of the ineas ure prove beuehciai, tne boutu was sel:;sh enough to waat her proportion; if on the contrary, the bill should be detrimental,. the South was patriotic enough to stand its share of disaster. That any event and at all times we of the South demanded that all national legislation should distribute its burdens and benefits equally among all the sections and all the people. The novelty of su$h ? posi* | tion was so great, and the spectacle so rare j for a Southern Representative to make such j demands, that 1 have been called a Protec-1 tioaist. wants fair i-lay ox;.v. Mr. President, 1 am not a Protectionist: j nave never given a vote m support 01 teat j principle, or uttered a word in defence of j that doctrine. I look upon the doctrine of! protection as indefensible and a potent fac- j tor in building up and maintaining trusts J and monopolies. Certain newspapers in the I North, instead of answering my arguments against protection, have been pleased to call j me a Protectionist, because I demanded I equality before thelawc. 1 stand square:v . upon the tariff plank of the Chicago platform, j and base my actions entirely upon its teach- j lags, .uy > oiss upon me lumber, cotton ana s rice schedules are in strict accord -with tie ) doctrines of Democracy. They were given S in defence of the people vrhoin I represent. ! and to compel tie Republican party to p;ace j the South on an equal footing with the bal- j ancs of lb-country. So IV.t I itvve been guided by >1 sincere desire to serve the bss: interests o" my owa State arid the Soutt. Ana i want 10 saj most emphatically that no matter who may i criticise, or what criticism my be made, I j shall continue to labor for the welfare of South Carolina to the very limits of my ability. I believe that if the representatives of each State would labor earnestly for the xna! terial interests of their people, the laws on ; our statute books would be less sectional and | far more just and equitable. i \f?- President. 1 would gladly yield the "cor at this poin:, could I do so and retain my self-respect, or in the least degree merit the continued conSuence of those whom 1 represent. But, sir, with others I have been charged in this chamber, and elsewhere, with being recreant to the established principles of Democracy, and that such action threatened discord in the Democratic party. Much as I love peace and deprecate all party dissensions, 1 cannot permit such imputations to remain unchallenged. I have sought carefully and earnestly to inform myself soly upon this subject, with a sincere desire to be right and act intelligently. FREE RAW MATERIAL A Ill'MBl'G. From all the facts that I have been able to j gather, I feel justified in making the assertion that what is now known as the doctrine "" ?1 li?e nAvftr been an estab UI il'CC i.'tw lished principle of Democracy. To prove my contention I will appeal to the past record of the Democratic party itself. I repeat that the idea of placing raw material on the free list, while the finished product is protected by a duty, is not and never has been a principle of Democracy. The Walker tariff, which was practically I in force from lS4o to iSol, did not provide j for a single article of free raw material. I will admit that the rate or amy on cei-uuu products was very low. but I contend that the principle of free raw material was not recognized in that bill. HEWITT'S SELFISH SCHEME. I have examined quite carefully the history of legislation since the war, especially the speeches and letters of the Hon. S. J. Tilden, and find no mention of this "established principle of Democracy" until March 30,1S82. On that day the Hon. A. S. Hewitt^ then a member from New York, introduced the following resolution, upon which j he made an extended speech: S "Resolved, That the bill creating a tariff commission be recommitted, with instructions to the committee on ways and means to report wirhin thirty days, or an earlier date, if it be practicable, a bill based upon the following instructions:" "First. That all raw materials, meaning thereby all materials which have not been subjected to any process of manufacture, and all waste products, meaning thereby all waste materials which are only tit to be manufactured, and all chemicals which are not proj duced in this country and alcohol for use in manufacture, shall be placed upon the free list. "Second. That-sofaras possible specific duties shall be substituted for ad valorem, and that in determining such specific duties the average dutiable value of imports during the last three years shall be taken as the standard of value, upon which no higher rate of duty shall be imposed than shall be recessary to compensate for the difference in 1 -i ~ * a nr\/? o Krna rl py. me cosi oi lauur at uvmc uuu ? , pended in the production of such products, after making due allowance for the expenses of transportation, and that the rate of duty shali not in any case, except on luxuries, exceed ?0 per cent of such average dutiable value." The bill under consideration at that time provided for a tariff commission. I have examined the debates on this measure as carefully as my time would admit, but failed to discover that this resolution attracted much attention, or was cordially endorsed by democratic sneakers. Mr. Hewitt was charged by the Republicans with selfish | motives, which the facts in the case appeared | to confirm. 1 will quote from a speech of !M>. Townj send, of Ohio, upon this subject: "And | right here, Mr. Chairman, let me emphasize xcViot T Vmvp hv referring to the re3olu ! tions which appear at the opening of the I speech of the gentleman from New lork, I which declare for free raw material. This j would include iron ore, and in the course of his remarks he favors the free importation ; of scrap iron. H e would strike a blow at our I native ores, -which constitute so large a part ! of our mineral productions, and drive out of employment our puddlers by the free introj duction of scrap iron. The manufacturers i on the seaboard want free foreign ore, oe! cause they need it to mix with the ores of New Jersey, and if once they could bring it in as ballast cheaper than they could get our Lake Superior ore, the beaefit, if any, would be to manufacturers cn the seaboard and , would not result in a reduction of the price I of iron or steel. It would give an advant [ age to those muufacturers at the expense ot i their associates, engaged in the same trade, further removed from the seaboard." When ia addition to the above, it is known that Mr. Hewitt was a large manufacturer of iron, the charge of selfishness appears not altogether without foundation. I examined the daily press of New York and found these resolutions mentioned as "Hewitt's plan,'' and "Hewitt's idea."' This led me to suspect that the doctrine of free raw material originated with Mr. Hewitt, and that his motives were somewhat selfish. These resolutions were up before the New York Chamber of Commerce on April 8, and adopted by the narrow majority of 33 to 20. A meeting held at Chickericg Hall, New York, oa April 15, passed resolutions favoring Mr. Hewitt's proposition. The Democratic county committee of New York soon after endorsed the resolutions, all of which went to prove that at that time the doctrine of free raw material had not become an established Democratic principle. It is not probable that all this trouble would have been incurred to bring out and endorse an old and well established Democratic principle. Hewitt's ok dee voted down. On May 1SS2, at the close of debate on the bill, Mr. Hewitt introduced the following amendment as specific instructions for the tariff commission: 1. Repeal of the duties on raw materials. 2. The proportionate reduction of the duties on articles manufactured from raw materials thus placed on the free list. 3. No duties to exceed 50 per cent except those on luxuries. ?. No internal revenue duty to be imposed on alcohol used in manufacturers. 5. Where practicable duties to be made specific by converting ad ^al^rem into specifi duties on the basis of average market values. This amendment was rejected on a division by a vote of 4"2 to S3. It is evident from tliis- vote that Mr. Hewitt's doctrine was somewhat of a stranger among Democratic principles. The Hon. Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, immediately followed with another amendment, in which on woolens he proposed a schedule of duties, ranging from 45 per cent, ad valorem up. The only free raw materials - - 7 1 > T _ T* suggcsieu vy .>ir, lutier v ti e iueuiomui barks, prepared or otherwise. This amendment was rejected by a vote of 37 to 79. It is quite evident that so eminent a Democrat as Mr. Tucker had not learned of this doctrine being an important tenet of his party. MORRISON AS A WITNESS. The lion. \V. R. Morrison then presented an amendment for a similar purpose, which provided: 'Said commission shall report no revision of the tariff providing for duties in excess of the several duties and rates of duty imposed by the Act of Congress approved March 2, 1801. and known as the Morrill tariff, on any of the following articles not subject to tax under the internal revenue laws, namely: "Manufacturers of cotton, iron and steel, wool, hemp, jute, f.ax and manilia,, glass and glassware. ' On all articles embraced in the scnedule of sundries, also on all metals not otherwise provided for, and all 'manufactures of metals. "On all spices.

Jle had the temerity to de- ; maud, in defiance of this alleged principle, a taritf cn vool, ivheat. corn, barley and other i TtKv materials. CKTTINi; MILLS II> A OOKXEE. Then followed a motion by the Hon. R. ] Q. Mills, of Texas, (now a distinguished uember of this body,) io recommit tne oiu with the following instructions. Mr. Mills stated that his instructions were those which were prepared by the II on. K. J. Walker in the tariff of 1^4'i: Resolved. That the bill creating a tariff commission be recommitted to the committee oil ways and and means, with instructions to report within thirty days :i bill framed in in compliance with the fo.loiring instructions: 1. That no more money should be collected liian is necessary for the wants of the Government, economically administered. '1. That no duty be imposed on any article above the lowest rate that will yield the largest amount of revenue. o. Thai below such rates discrimination may be made, descending in the scale of duties, or for imperative reasons the article may be placed on the list of those free from all duties. 4. Thf "laximum re-enue duty should be impost va luxuries. 5. That ail specific duties should be abol- [ isliedand ad valorem duties substituted in in their place, care being taken to guard against fraudulent invoices and under valuation and to assess the duty up. *> the actual market value. 0. That the duty should be so imposed as to operate equally as possible throughout the Union, discriminating neither for or against any class or section. This amendment was rejected by a vote of 152 to 75. Mr. President, this resolution demanded the re-enactment or the \>aiKer lariu o? j 1S46, in which the idea of the doctrine of free raw material cannot be found- This resolution received the solid support of the Democratic members, if I remember correstly, and was no doubt considered orthodox Democracy at that date. May we not fairly draw the conclusion that up to this dale the doctrine of free raw material had not become an established principle of the Democratic party? Having located, as I believed, a date when the doctrine of free raw materials was not an csi tablished Democr ic principle, 1 continued my investigation to "* * when it was. | In the Democratic pi ?,rm of 1884 I tind the first mention of free raw material in the following indirect manner: IT WAS A REPUBLICAN* DODGE. "Speaking of the Republican party, it has subjected them to an increasing flood of manufactured goods and a hopeless competition with manufacturing nations, not one of which taxes raw material." It would require a very vivid imagination, in my opinion, to torture this statement into a demand for free raw material, yet the distinguished Senator from Missouri, Mr. Vest, declared quite recently that such was its meaning. THE PLATFORM OF 1S8S, which the distinguished Senator so emphatically stated declared for the doctrine of free raw material, reads as follows: ' The Democratic party of the United | States, in National Convention assembled, | renews the pledge of its fidelity to the Dem{ocratic fai:h, and reaffirms the platform j adopted by its representatives in the Convention of 1SS4, and endorses the riews exi pressed by President Cleveland in his last ! annual message to Congress, as the correct | interpretation of that platform upon the question of tariff reduction, and also sndorse the efforts of cur Democratic Representatives in Congress to secure a reduction it would appear from the reading of this paragraph and the declaration of the distinguished Senators from Missouri that the interpretation placed on the Democratic platform of 1SS4 bj President Cleveland, together with the schedules of the Mill's bill, furnish the real authority for declaring the doctrine of free raw material a cardinal principle of Democracy. I do not remember President Cleveland's interpretation, neither do I care to know, since the time has come, thanK God, when his declaration of what Democratic principles art: or should be do not pass current. As for the distinguished author of the Mills bill being authority upon so important a matter, I assume there is at least room for I honest differences. Not that I would reflect I upon his Democracy or eminent ability, but I the resolutions of 18S2, when compared with j the schedules of his bill of 1SS8, disclose a I want o: continuity teat is not always a distinguished feature for safe guidance. In 1SS2 the distinguished Senator is found advocating the doctrine of the Walker tariff, in which there is not a single trace of the principle of free raw material, while in 1SSS, 1 less than six years later, he is declared the bulwark of that principle. I find free raw material mentioned in the platform of 1872 follows: "We endorse ( the efforts made by the Democrats of the , present Congress to modify its most oppress-J ive features in the direction of free raw ma- j, terials and cheaper manufactured goods that | enter into general consumption.' In the platform of 1896 the idea of free i raw material was eliminated altogether. Mr. President, have I not shown conclusively that the doctrine of free raw material has never been an established principle of , Democracy? Have I not shown that a single ] allusion made to it in the platform of 1SS4, : a covert attempt to endorse it in 1SSS, a i qualified endorsement in 1892, and an abso- , lute abandonment in 1S9G, is the real histc- , ry of this dogma? This doctrine came and went with Grover Cleveland, and I believe that the people are willing for him to keep it, or sink it in Buzzard's Bay, as he may elect. WHAT SAYS THE SOUTH. Mr. President, since I took a position ' against the so-called doctrine of free raw material I have received hundreds of letters 1 fr?m the South commending my course. I ' will refrain from printing any of them, but instead will read an extract from a letter j written by the present Governor of Texas, i the Hon. C. A. Culberson, for the purpose of i disclosing the fact that a very wide differ- j erip.p r>f rmimnn nn flic nnpstin:) of free i raw material between the Governor of Texas and the distinguished Senator from Texas, 1 Mr. Mills. The letter is dated Austin, Texas, ? July the 9th, 1895, and is addressed to the ( Hon. John Brookhout, Dallas. I will print ] the letter and comments by Mr. E. W. Cave as an appendix to my remarks. The conclusions which I have reached in regard to the doctrine of free raw material ' ? . i, i- , _ r I are me result. 01 careiui investigation, i t disclaim all thoughts of bringing discord in- j j to the Democratic party and hope this doc- j' trine will follow Grover Cleveland into quiet j < obscurity and thus fade into "innocuons de- j i suetude." < THE BEPCCLICAN DILEMMA. Mr, President, I realize <juite fully the j difficulties which surround this measure. 1 < saw them at the beginning of its construc- } tion and have seen them multiply and inten- | sify every day since. Long before the bill ( left the ways and means committee it had ( degenerated into a contest over schedules, ^ and has remained in that position until the present time. This bill represents no fixed 5 or particular economic theory, but to the " contrary is a mixture of them all, with the ] keen New England manufacturers, the Sugar 1 Trust kings and other kindred spirits manipulating the compound. By attempting to liquidate political obli- , gations in conjunction with a billion dollar PnTKTT-pes trip T}f?nnhlif>!>n lioc fallon ^ upon hard lines, and in its extremity has * given the country a tariff hill which, to sn.y the least, is fearfully, if not wonderfully, ' made. 1 NATIONAL EXTRAVAGANCE. t If the next one hundred years of national ? existence witnesses as rapid an incrcese in I per capita expenses and political obligations as the past century it is extremely problem- i atical as to what sort of taxation will then } obtain. Secretary John Sherman, then Con- ? gressman from Ohio, in a speech dated May c the 27th, 1858, gave the per capita expenses of the Governmant at different dates. t For information I will quote them: 1789 j to 17'Jl, 42 cents: 1800,'.'0 cent?: 1S01, 73 cents: 1820.. ?1.36; 1830. $1.03; 1S40, $1.41: f 1850. ?1.00; 1857, $1.0-3; 1858, $2 08. ? We are now living under a billion-dollar j Congress, which means in expenditure of 1 :ive hundred millions of dollars annually, or ?7.1.t per capita for our 70,000,000 of people. TAXES CANNOT BRING WEALTH. In commercial transactions large aggre- 1 gates of business are conducted on less ex- \ penditure per unit than smaller ventures- 1 Yet it would seem so far as national business ? is concerned that retailing is much cheaper ( per unit than "wholesaling. When our na- i tionai expenses increase from 42 cents per capita tc >7.1'.' per capita I submit something is radically wrong and calls for immediate ana careful attention. Mr. President, it -will be a very difficult undertaking to bring prosperity by any system o: taxation, more especially under present conditions. Something besides tribute bearing must intervene before the people will enjoy the blessings of plenty and good la my opinion the first move in this direction should be to open the mint to the free coinage of silver. Follow this hy a reduction of expenses to the lowest point consistent with good government. Abolish the internal revenue system and put in its stead a just and proper incomc tax, together with an inheritance tax, similar to the one proposed by the distinguished Senator from Indiana, Mr. Turple. Then I would secure the balance needed for Government expenses by a ?ood, old-fashioned. Democratic tariff for revenue, so adjusted as to place its burdens upon all the people of ail the sections and give its incidental benefits to labor, where it ever belongs. This in brief is ray remedy for present hard times, and I trust the near future will see it applied. In 1837 wu had one of the most destructive panics of the century. in 1857 we had another disastrous panic. In 1873 we had a panic that brought wreck and rain to nearly all business interests. lu IS^'o we had a panic of which no one need be reminded. The panic of 1837 occurred under the Clay tariff, averaging about 'J(j per cent. The panic of 1857 occurred under the Walk er thrift", averaging ~o per cent. Tne panic of 3 87;i came under the Morrill tarr111", -which averaged -18 per ccnt.. and the panic of 18l'3 occurred under the McKinley tariff, which averaged 58 per cent. Here we find that two disastrous panics caine under the lowest tariffs since 181'), and also that two terrible panics came under the highest tariffs we ever had. This proves that panics conic under low tariffs ani high tariffs. But no man living or dead, ever heard of or witnessed a panic when the people had plenty of money.
