EXPORT BOUNTIES.
SENATOR CANNON INTRODUCES LU- '
BIN'S SCHEME TO HELP FARMERS.
H? Make* a Hot Speech and Flours All
Opponents?Present Protection Is One
Sided ami Hobs the Farmer?He Now
Sells In a Cheat* end Ituy* In a Dear
Market?Can He Protected Only by Kxport
Hountles on Farm Products?If He
Cannot Oct These lie Wants Absolute
Free Trade.
Senator Cannon of Utah introduced
on May 25 an amoudment to the tariff
bill which is likely to make tronbie for
the Republican leaders and which may j
break down the whole protective) system.
The amendment favors the Labin
scheme of paying export bounties on ,
farm products. This scheme is now being
poshed vigorously, not enly by its
author, David Lubin, but also by the
granges of mouv states aud by tradee .
unions and ministers. It makes its fight
iusido the ranks of protection and has I
already opened nioro farmers' eyes to
the folly of the system than nil of the
tariff reform work thut has been dona
Senator Cannon told sonic plain truths
when introducing this amendment. He
spoke in part as follows:
It was with great surprise, upon an examination
of the measure, that I found '
that the/great class of onr population !
who have from tho beginning not only j
supported tho protective tariff party by
their votos, but have supported tho protective
tariff principle by their industry ,
from tho beginning of its operation,
were in a large degree excluded from
auy of its benefits. It is, I say, to supply
a very patent omission from tho i
measure as it now stands thut the
amendment is proposed aud will bo ad- ;
vocated here until a vote shall be had ;
thereon. ii
The bill as it is offered today affords
do protection to agricultural staples. |
There is remaining, I presume, no advocate
of the protective tariff system ; i
who will contend that in this bill, with
these import duties, there is afforded ;
any protection or benefit of increased-1
price arising from import duties upon
any of those commodities of which we j i
export our surplus, nor are there re- 11
maining at the present time in the . 1
school of protection very many men i
who will contend aDd none who will !,
prove that the indirect protection afford- |<
ed to the farmer by the tariff on man- (
ufactnred poods is sufficient compensation
to him for the vast cost entailed I,
upon bim in carrying the protective
tariff system upon manufactured goods.
It has become apparent to all thought- j i
ful observers, and certainly it is known
to all who have any direct connection j
with the agricultural industry of the j
United States, that the farmer cannot, I
and the man who reads him well knows
that the farmer will not, innch longer
bear this burden.
There arc tbreo remedies possible.
The second remedy, and one which I,
as a believer in protection, would be I
ready to accept rather than to bold to :
and vote for au iueqaitable bill, woo Id \
be absolute free trade, by which tbe
farmer might boy as cheaply as he is
compelled to sell, and that remedy this ; j
oongress will not 6eek to eoforca There
remains, then, bnt tbe third?tbe appli- j
cation of an export bounty which shall ,,
in a measure give restitution to tbe j
farmer for the higher prices which he is ;
compelled to pay in protected markets. |
No proposition based upon the decla- 1
ration of equal protection to all the industries
of the United States is com- <
plete, nor can there be successfully ;
made a contention that it is just, unless
it gives to the exporter of agricultural
staples from the United States an equivalent
benelit to that given to tbe manufacturer
by the imposition of an import
duty.
A duty of 25 cents a bushel upon
wheat is a delusion and a snare. The
farmer of the United States gets no benefit
from it Tbo imposition of duty upon
cotton, if that were attempted, would
be of no value to the cotton producer.
The imposition of a duty on rye is of no
value to tbe farmer of tbe United States. '
Every other protected industry has a
direct benefit from this tariff, because
where we do not produoe in the Uuited :
States sufficient for our own consmnp- j
tion and a quantity considerable in ex- |
tent for export the import duty serves I
as a means whereby the local producer
can enhance the price to the local consumer.
Tbe immediate benefit to tbe farmer
derived from the treasury of the United
States would not be all. For this com- I
paratively small expenditure to him he !
would receive for these staples more
than $225,000,000 in higher priqes than
be now receives. It is true that this
would increase the price of breadstuffs
to the consumers in the cities, but under
the declaration made here today
that with higher prices the people will
be more able to buy we will have a
larger consumption of wheat and wheat
flour and ether agricultural staples in
the cities of tbo country than we have
now at the low prices.
Mr. Butler?Mr. President, the sena- ]
tor from Utah said he was in favor of
about $18,000,000 export duty on wheat
at 10 cents a bushel. If we pay an ex- |
port bounty of 10 cents a bushel, that
will raise the price of every bushel of
wheat, whether exported or consumed
at home, that much, will it not?
Mr. Cannon?Certainly it will.
Mr. Butler?Then, for an investment
of $13,000,000, which the government
would payout in the shape of an export j
bounty, the wheat farmers of the conntry
would get their protection of $00,- i
000,000 or $70,000,000, would they
not?
Mr. Cannon?They would, if there
be any truth in the protective principle.
Mr. Butler?That would bo a very
good investment.
Mr. Cannon?It wonld be a very good
investment if it were to be made in behalf
of any manufacturing industry or ,
any trust in the United States, bat any- j
thing in behalf of tho farmer is looked
V : ' ; rvT5"
t' \
opoii with prom and is considered a ]
doubtful investment by the legislature j
of the United States.
In addition, Mr. President, it is a
very poor argument, when yon have
bceu robbing some man for years and
ho asks you for justice, to say tbut you
propose to continue to rob him of more
find say that you do not know where
5on r,ro going to get the money with
which to restore that which you have
unrighteously takeu. It is tlio very first
duty of the congress of the United
States to provide a bill which shall not
only bo honest in its present application.
but which shall r>ay back some
portion of tbut which has been taken j
from i he pockets of the toilers of this j
land.
I have talked with tho farmers iD 20
states of the Union since last fall, and 1
firmly believe that this tariff will no
longer endure than until the farmers of
the United States can have n chance to
revise it at tho polls, if you do not givo
to them some portion of its benefits.
The fanueT is bending beneath a burden
which ho cannot carry longer. He
has been tho backbone of the integrity
of the United States, but there comes in
the place of the free and independent
farmer of this country a race of tenantry
to reap servilely where he sowed
nobly, men who receive their opinions
from others instead of giving their own
independent voice at the polls and in
all their declarations to their fellow
men.
The senate of the United Statn can
afford to be absolutely just I believe
the amendment should bo adopted.
Mr. Chandler?May I usk the senator
from Utah a question?
Mr. Cannon?Certainly.
Mr. Chandler?I beard the senator
Bpeak of robbery a little while ago with
reference to the tariff. Does the scuator
mean that the farmer has been robbed
all these years by the tariff? Is that the
senator's argument?
Mr. Cannon?Yes, sir, decidedly.
Mr. Chandler?Wnen did the senator
Gist think that the American tariff system
was a robbery of the farmer?
Mr. Cannon?Just so soon as the senator
gave sufficient attention to tho subject
to understaud the truth of it. I advocated
Republican tariffs as earnestly
and as faithfully in my bumble way as
(be senator from New Hampshire, and I
believed exactly what I taught
But I am riot di sposed any longer to
advocate a system by which one portion
of the population in taxed for the benefit
of auother portion of the population. I
think thnt it is unfair to cherish only
one clues, and that the class which has
already the most power of self protection.
If the senator from New Hampshire
w:ill go across the plains of Kansas,
as 1 have pone, and across the plains of
Nebraska. I believe in bim sufficiently
to think be will come back and say that
this bill is robbery of the American
farmer.
I have stated that I am in favor of a
protective tariff system. I stated that
in the guilelessness of my soul, being a
Republican, I went out and advocated
tho Republican idea of a protective tariff.
I never was brought quite so close
to responsibility concerning it before as
I am today. Heretofore .[ have discussed
it on the stump, advocating it in general
terms, bnt us soon as I am confronted
with responsibility which obliges me to
look more closely into its application to
all tho people I am simply discharging
my duty when I ?eek to amend this
measure so that it shall be honest to all.
The Monkey and the Cats.
%?"
The monkey could pull its own sugar
out of the fire, but prefers to use tho
paws of the cats. Poor cats, how it
must hurt them I Yes, it does hurt
them a little, but they con stand it for
the sake of their good friend the mon>
key. Perhups they will get a share of
the sugar, or if not :hat sometbiug else
which they like bettor. Perhaps! It is
certain that tbey have long been fast
friends of the monkey and that they
like him for bis sly and cunning tricks.
Republican Criticism of Taxed Hides.
Accordiug to the protective theory the
imposition of a tax on uoncompeting
articles adds to their cost teethe consumer.
This theory would be aptly exemplified
in the proposed duties on
bides, as the people would be compelled
to pay more for their footwear. It is estimated
that the increased cost of boots
and shoes for one year under the proposed
dnty would amount to $20,000,000.
With free hides our manufacturers
of leather goods have been able to build
up a great export trade in footwear. As
Mr. Blaine baid when it was proposed
to put a duty on hides in the law of
1800, "It will yield a profit to the
butcher only?the last man that needs
it." The interests of the tanners and
shoe manufacturers are vastly more
important than the interests of bntcbers
and western ranchmen.?Chicago
Times-Herald, Republican.
Of No Consequence.
The brewers are good campaign contributors.
Therefore thoy are to be excused
from their proper i hare of taxes. ;
The wearers of clothes are of no partio- |
ular account to the Mark Hannas of our i
time. Why shouldn't they and the con- !
suniers of sugar and shoes be made to
bear the whole burden??World.
