ro i ' . ' . " ' gfts ils &sitHrttS ASTUK1A.OKEHOS; FRIDAY HAY 12.18S2 J.F.HAI.LOKAX.. ..Editor. A Comprehensive Speech. Persons interested in the tar iff question desiring to inform themselves upon an issue of such growiDg importance, are general ly appalled at the outset by the vast and disorderly mass of statis tics presented alike by friends and opponents of the present system. There have been delivered in both Houses by senators and represen tatives from all sections, speeches, clear and practical, so framed as to give instruction while dealing in argument, and therefore to be commended toseckcrs after knowl edge concerning these matters, but, without invidious distinction, it would seem that to all such, the recent speech of Senator Coke, of Texas, will be most -welcome. It deals in facts,- but all are perti nent; it abounds in figures, but their application is clear; it is filled with aphorisms, but each one is nn 'axiom and a text. The Senator is what is called a free trader. By that he does not mean that all custom nouses shall be abolished and the Government revenue derived from direct taxa tion, as is so often and unwarrant ably charged against free traders. He says: 'I know of no political party in th s ojuniry which advccites free tr ide. The divisiou of opinion is n )t between free trade and pro motion; it is between a strictly revenue tariff, with its incidental protection, and a tariff tor protec tion with revenue as the incident." In the .sense in which protec tionists use the term "free trade." there is none in the world, for even free trade England derives a large share of her revenue from a tariff. The free traders in the United States, of whom the Texas senator may be taken as an expo nent, ar5 perfectly willing that commerce shall bear its share of t'-e burdens of taxation while pro testing against discriminations in favor of other interests. .Mr. Coke says: "No citizen can object to a tax on imported goods judiciously levied with an eye single to the raising anil collection of revenue for the support of the Govern ment. A tariff for revenue con structed in good faith only forth' purpose" of raising revetiti.-' and which does rais revenue, and plate it in life national treasury, is a legitimate and constitutional and n.'cessary exercise of power. As an inovitilde consequence, do mestic manufacturers or pr ducers of the articles upon which such revenue impost duties are laid, are to that oxtent protected against foreign competition. This species or extent of protection is necessa rily an incident, a corrolary to ev ery law which raises revenue through impost duties, bnt revenue should be fie object and purpose in view, an 1 protection only the incident: Those who favor a pro tective tariff demand protection against foreign competition with out refeience to revenue: claim a right to protection and make pro tection the object and purpose of impost duties ami revenue merely the incident." This succinct statement of the issue between protectionists and revenue reformers, is the one which actually pxists, and which t' e supporters of tho presont tar iff can in no wise evade. Any one can readily see the difference between protecting"in fant industries" and wealthy mo nopolies, and shows that as neces sary as was the development of manufactures at the close of the revolutionary war, our fathers re ferred to by Senator Merrill, as friends of the protective policy, contented themselves with an ad. valorem duty of only eight and .one-half per cent., imposed avow edly to give "infant industries" a start. That these "infants" never gctoutof leading strings is appa rent from the steady increase of the rate of duty, which, rising from eight and one-half per cent, in 1789, reached over forty-one per cent, in 1S32, and is now, un der the war tariff, over forty-fivo per cent., and this war tariff, im posed as a temporary measuro and professedly to raiso revenue, is now sought to fao established as a permanent fiycd system of protec tion, while tho "infant industries" which bar; been built up and en riched by bounties for seventy five year-s, rich and powerful and full of resources as they are, still clamor for protection against British competition as lustily as when they were recognized to the extent of eight and one-half ppr cent, in the tariff of 17S9. After showing that protection ists who profess so much love for American labor, import all sorts of cheap labor from everywhere, to compete with tho American while, under the tariff, they in crease the cost of everything he buys, Senator Coke says; "Protection for American manu facture3 against European compe tition with American farmers for a destruction of tho foreign market for American agricultural pro.! ' ucts in order to secure to Ameri can manufacturing monopolists tho homo market for their wares, with a bounty of 45 per cent added to tlj9 price." Among his pertinont reflections are, that under our present system die manuacturer is the tax gath erer, and that we must "be in con dition to exchange products with foreign countries which we can not do under our tariff before we can export manufactured goods, and that tho poor people ieatable to bear it, pay more than double the amount of taxes under the tar iff in proportion to their consump tion than any other class. The effect of the system upon the tax payer all through his life and up to the timo when ho is laid in a coffin with grave clothes tixed from 50 to 100 per cent, under a lid fastened with screws taxed 63 percent., isportiayed as it cxits, and in a manner likely to make a permanent impression upon those who aro honestly seeking informa tion upon this knotty subject.
