TARIFF VS. TAX.
Free traders who are usinjj tlie
tariff diseiicsion as a supposed
Archimedian lever to lift them
selves into place and power,
artfully appeal to the voters of the
country with the cry of taxing
necessities, and claim that the
tariff adds to the cost of manu
factured articles to the amount of
its levy on imported manufactured
goods. John 1'. Irish pathetically
hawked about the country, before
the June election, the old worn out
saw about the poor taxed farmers,
and the democratic leaders are
sending out the game heartrending
story in circulars at present. It
commences like this: "Under
this Tariff the ianner rises in the
morning, puts on his common
flannel shirt taxed 93 per cert.;
h'n coat taxed 57 per cent. ; shoes
35 per cent., and hat taxed 92 per
cent. ; takes the water from a
buckets taxed 35 per cent. ; and
washes his face and hands in a
tin bowl taxed 35 per cent. ; dries
them on a cheap cotton towel taxed
45 per cent.
"He sits down to his humble
meal and eats from a plate taxed
50 per cent., with a knife and fork
taxed 35 per cent. ; drinks his
coffee with sugar taxed 68 per
cent. ; seasons his food with salt
taxed tiy per cent.; pepper taxed
61 per cent.
"He looks around on 'his wife
aid children, all taxed in the
same way ; takes a chew of tobacco
taxed 199 per . cent. ; or lights a
cigar taxed 118 per cent. And,
sir, even the sunlight from heaven
that pours into his humble dwel
ling must come through window
glass taxed 59 per cent., and yet
he thinks he lives in the freest
government under heaven."
In the same pathetic strain it
goes on until it lands to poor
afflicted mortal in a taxd grave.
The New York Press has been
asked by some of its subscribers to
explain the matter, and collates
these facts: "A common flanml
shirt costs in England 3s. tJd., or
84 cents. The cost here would,
therefore, be nearly double, or
$1.58. The actual price is $1.
A common suit of clothes costs
in England 3Us., or $7.50. The
cost here, therefore, would be
$ 12.50. The actual cost is $7.50,
same as in England. An all-wool
$10 suit such as th it exhibited by
Major McKinley costs just 2, or
$10, in London
T i- i i Kt c !
In England common boots co&t
6s. ($1.50)and fair ones 10s. ($2.50).
Instead of costing one third more
here the price is $1.23 for well-
made brogans and $2.50 for fain
boots.
A 3s. Gd. (84 cents) hat in Eng
land can be got here for $1 , and it
doas not cot nearly $2, aa as
serted." All knit goods are cheaper here
than in England, especially jerseys
such as women wear. So are the
commoner grades of stockings aud
Hocks.

equivalent, in England The Gov
ernment, in a receut purchase of
blankets made abroad, discovered
that the difference in the price was
only 30 cents a pair.
A calico dress can be bought in
this country as low as ( cents per
yard, a sum equivalent to the duty.
If the price is increased by the
amountjof the duty, calico dresses
cost nothing in England. And yet
the people go ragged. The fact is
they cost more in England than
here. And this is true of all staple
cotton goods. A stuff dress can be
brought here as low as 10 cents,
and the duty is 17 cents. Thus kii
the theory that the duty isa "tax,7
in England these dresses are
given away and 7 cents a yard
bonus for taking them."
These and numerous other items
of like character, which we have
not room to quote some of them
showing even larger margins in
favor of prices of articles here, are
the true statement of prices under
the tariff as it exists at present,
aud totally destroy the agonizing
picture of taxation that Irish and
his compeers have and are ravin.:
so much about. Thev also show !
the total untruthfulness of the
vaunted figurers to establish tlie
wonderful results predicted for the
Mills bill.
