Now that Congress is iu Extra Session endeavoring to revise tbe Dingley Tariff Bill, so a9 to increase our revenue, and at tbe same time reduce rates; a few thoughts in regard to tariff legislation may interest your readers. After tbe United States had achieved their inpependence and established = a government ou their own account, the first and most serious problem that confronted our Congress was, how best to obtain the necessary means to pay the expenses of the Government. We have abundant and valuable resources, but undeveloped. The policy of England had been t~ jiscourage her American Colonies from manufacturingshe preferred to furnish the Colonies with tbe manufactured article for such raw material as they had in exchange for these. The Congre?s of the United States adopted the plan to raise revenue by putting a tariff, or tax, on all manu- M factured articles, imported from for- I eign countries. Tbe prime object of I the tariff was?to collect from foreigners enough money to pay a large part ofthe Government expenses, for allowIng tbe privilege of trade in our mar- = ket. There was no division on the tariff at that time. The plan had not been in operation long before the English and other foreigners, found a way Lo circumvent our scheme. They could simply add a little more to the price of the articles they sold us, and pay a little less for what we had to 3ell. Something had to be done. Tbe expenses of the Government were increasing and the revenue was not suf- of flcient to meet them. Congress then decided to adopt a tariff with inciden- gi tal protection on all articies that came In competition with some that were manufactured in this country. ' er The invention of the Protective principle in our tarriff legislation in- ra jured to the U. 8. the commercial and industrial supremacy in the world. Tariff for revenue with incidental H protection continued to be the rule. , without much change until the Civil 01 War. The necessities of this war were hi io great that Congress adopted what is jailed the High Protective Policy, to rhis was done for the purpose of get- j ;ing more revenue and stimulating e more rapidly the production of war material and equipment in the United . States. I will give one instance of in yhat wonderful results the extra High tu rariff worked. At that time railroad ron was taxed at $80 per ton. An- ar Irew Carnegie, the|famous steel magnate, appeared before the Finance cu Committee of the House of Represen- m itivea of United States and made this proposition. That if Congress would ri Increase the tax on iron to $60 per ton, lJ .hat he would force the English, who ~ were then selling iron to the United P States for $120, to sell it for $60. Car- j aeirie's proposition was accepted. He Made good. The Tax was reduced rrom time to time. The quality and juauity were increased. Bchawb, the areseDt head of the Amalgimated Steel Trust, eays that his company can produce more rails, better rails and cheaper rails than any firm in the svorld. They do not asfc for any further protection, and defies competition. Under the stimulus of the High Protective Tariff" the people of the United States lead the world in all the great Important industries. (Except, perhaps in the building of a great Navy. England still leads the world in that.) Much of what we heaj and read about the tariff is stuff. There Is very little improvement to J be made on the Dingley Bill. Ding- ley had a genius for tariff making. Payne and Dalzell are his legitimate represenatives. They have studied the subiect in its numerous schedules. They are broadminded aLd patriotio. They have prosecuted a bill that favors no particular interest or section, to the disadvantage of any other. The south and west, who stem to be raising more objections to the Payne _ Bill than any other section, pay less (1 taxes and receive more benefit than H any other. So far as the South and 11 West are concerned the tariffon lumber hides, sugar, rice and cotton and r fabrics affect tham more than any other schedule. Lumber ought to be on the free list for the following reasons: Lumber is in very great demand in the South C and West just now, and will be for all e time. Free lumber will benefit a great many people of small means. 2nd. ? By putting lumber on the free list we & give protection to our rapidly disap- e pearing forests. Let our great lumber mills go to South America, Mexico Q and Canada to operate. ? Hides should be put on free list for g the reason that free hides will benefit ii the many. The farmer, the man who raises the beeves and sell them to the grt at beef trust, generally get less than the beef is worth, and throw in the bide and tallow. A Add 25 to 3C per cent, to the present duty on sugar. The same on rice. This will increase the price of sugar a about J of 1 cent per pound, or about 6 cents on the annual consumption of a the average person in Abbeville. Rice about the same. Increase the duty on cotton fabrics from 25 per cent, to 30 percent. This will further stimulate gj cotton manufacturing in the South. Add 40 or 50 per cent, to all woollen goods. This will cause more interest qj in sheep and help woollen mills. pJ Add 40 or 50 per cent.\o silk, jewel- ?v ry and fine liquors. There are many other items in the bill that will stand tr an increase, without oppressing any one, or making it prohibitive. If the bill 1b framed along these 3i lines, with the present outlook for increased trade, it will bring ample revenue to meet the ever increa8ing expenses of the government. To sum up: We have had three forms of tariff legislation. 1st. Tariff for revenue. 2nd. Tariff with incidental protection. 3rd. High protective tariff. The high tariff was iu- ? tended to stimulate more rapidly our . vast resources, diversify our indus- | tries and enlarge our home market and bring iu enough revenue to meet the increasing demands of the govern- 0f raent. It has met all these requirements and will continue to do so if properly adjusted. J Yours for a Protective Tariff.
