3 Mills and McKinley. The Louisville Courier-Journal, that able exponent of tariff for reve-! nue only, makes happy comparison and gives some very pointed defini- tions of the Mills bill and the Mc-/ Kinley bill. From it are taken a few | excerps. The Mills bill is the first step in the direction of a tariff revenue only. A tariff for revenue only takee from the people by way of taxation only so much money as is necessary to defray the ordinary expenditures of government and no more, the only prineiple that is consonant with the spirit of free goyernment. And the blessings which it contemplates is taking away from the citizen as small amount of his money and abridging his liberty as little as pos- fible for the purposes of government. The MoKinley bill is a step in the direction of a prohibitive tariff. A prohibitive tariff isa tariff which prohibits all the world from selling its productions in the markets of Ameriea, prevents outside competi tion and enables home manufactories to impose upon the people of the country shoddy and worthless goods at high and ruinous prices. For this reason alone we may be dubbed the shoddiest nation in all the world. Not only that, but in order to make the prohibitive tariff really prohibit, the people have to be taxed to such & degree and by such a law as will in the first place make the people pay 160 cents for an article when its real value is only 100 cents, and in the second place give to the government only one dollar of the tax collected while giving to the manufacturer four dollars of that tax. The onerous degtee of the tax and its unequal di- vision is aggrardizing a few individ- uals, concentrating wealth, centrali- zing power, impoverishing the peo- ple and undermining the government. The Mills bill was formed for the purpose of reducing the revenue by a reduction of taxes. The McKinley bill was formed for purpose of reducing the revenue by increasing taxation. Thus, says the Courier-Journal, the Mills bill holds that the tariff is too high while the McKinley bill holds that the tariff is too low. Fur- ther commenting, it says: The Mills bill puts wool’on the free list and reduces the ;taxation on materials made of wool, Wool is one of the leading com- modities of America. It is unneces- sary to refer in Geotail to the articles of apparel and/clothing of every de- scription it énters into. It is unnec- essary to dessert the importance of ae on the free list. The peo- ple understand that. McKinley bill increases the jaty on wool and advances the du- ties on all materials made of wool. i Every mother throughout the length and breadth of the land can bear testimony to this fact as she makes purchases of woolen goods for the coming winter, as can also the head of the family when he buys a new overcoat or lays in a supply of new underwear. The Mills bill was an attempt to reduce war taxes to a peace basis, while the McKinley bill was an effort to increase in peace the burden of war taxes. There is not an American at all acquainted with the history of bis country who does not know that the first republican tariff was placed upon the people in the exigencies of the war of the rebellion to maintain the credit of the government and give it resources with which to con- duct her councils and carry over the war. It was so proclaimed by its advocates in congress and voted upon only with a view for that pur pose and to that end, exclusively as a war measure, never for once being thought of or designed as that char- acter of legislation which would suit the times of peace and conform to the principles of free government. There is no better comparison to be made of the measure than by placing it by the side of martial law. One or both might be used in time of war, but itis a crime against liberty | to invoke the power of either in time | of peace and quiet. The war tariff was actually increased in 1883. The intention of the Mills bill was/ he has lost control of the Indians. ily insect consumption. the weak points in the McKinley bill. Republican eagerness for offiee and manufacturers greed for the people's money united their strength | in the last congress and did much | to enlighten the people on the tariff | by passing the McKinley bill. in- creasing the tariff, the practical re- sults of which have dissipated doubt, flashed conviction on the understand- | ing and aroused sentiment of the people to a realization of the dan- gers whieh lie in its plausible the-/ ory, its false face and its masked in- tention. | The two bills are opposite in al! | their essential features and as differ- ent in political character as the two formulated and proposed them. One is democracy. The other is repub- licanism. One 1s liberty ‘protected by law.” The other is tyranny tram- pling on law, binding justice with} the evil and making freedom its own | executioner. Que etill sits dominant defiant in the executive chair and] the senate chamber. The other at} the polls in November has driven | out the lower house the conscience-| less and unscrupulous majority which added to the tariff theft the crimes of Reed and Lodge. One is the constitution. The other 1s vicious law. One guards the nation’s prop- erty and protects the people's rights. The other absorbs the nation’s wealth and assassinates the people’s power. One first laid the foundation of free government. The other seeks their destruction and overthrow. That the signs of the times now point toa lasting triumph for the one and signal defeat for the other is no less a natural consequence than it is a welcome truth in this lant of freedom so long a prey to raids “from foes within and foes without.” One looks to high taxation and op- pressive laws as the source of its power. The other looks to low tax ation and which will lighten the bur- dens of the peopleand preserve their preamble as the palladium of its strength and its key to poplar favor. One is the law of force of class and of caste, the weapon of effete uristo- cratic monarchical rule. The other is the active, living principle of hu- man rights, the abolition of caste, equal and exact justice to all mev, exclusive privileges to none—the spirit of liberty. One is truth—the other is error. Que is democratic. standing for the reserved rights of the people, the soyereignty of the states, the letter and the spirit of the constitution, and a government which will*deal equably with the weak and the strong, and give the same protection to the poor that it does to the rich. The other is fed- eralistic and arrogant, destroying lo- eal authority, abridging rights, cireumrentiug the people's will and conspiring for their down- popular fall; standing as the sworn enemy of justice, the friend of corruption and the faithful ally of strong govern- ment. One is freedom from exces- sive exaction. The other is tribute to Cesar. Both cannot live. One or the other must perish, yet truth ean not die.—K. C. Times. Ex-Goyernor Rector Wins. Little Rock, Ark.
