II.? attacked the pendln* wool tariff re? vision offered by the Democrats, de? claring that thelf plea of needing revenue for the government treasury was not a serious argument for keep? ing high duties on woolcr. goods. 'if the government would put a reasonable tax on tobacco, which may be considered a lu\ury," said Mr. Warhurton. "it r^uld let In woolen goods, cotton v ?ods and sugar with? out any tariff whatever. "If this country taxed tobacco as England or France does, we could close the dm.r.i of all the customs houses, except as to the importation of liquor and tobaccos." Mr. Warhurton said the Democrats had been afraid to re-dUCS the duties on wool any further, for fear of the consenounces at tho ""\t election if the 'woolen Industry u prostrated by removal of protection. lie said tho Democrats had been compelled to adopt the Republican doctrine of pro? tect! ?n and excused themselves on the ground of needing revenue. "And In the meantime." said Mr. Warhurton. "American people arc paying six times as much tax to the government on sugar as they are on five real clears; 30 times as much on Sjugar as on 25 cent cigars, and 60 times as much on sugar as on 50 cent cigars. "The rich man who smokej a 35 cent cigar pays one and two-tenths fonts on each dollar's w i th of tnem; ! -while his gardener, who rmokes five j cent cigars, pays six cents tax on his dollar's worth: and his washer w*>man who buys a dollar's worth of itsjar pays 36 cents tax on It " Representative Feter? of M issuchu eetts. a Demorcatlc raemhi r of the ways and means committee which I framed the wool bill, said w ool and1 woolen goods would have been made fx 1 e ? t i t ?> p?? ?
