On the other hand, | if the lead is the component of chief value, | the gold or Giver is subjected to duty at the rate provided for lead. “Thus the purpose of the law may be defeated in both cases. The report deals at length with the question of the administration of the customs laws, pointing out the defects in the laws by which inequal- cumulation of money in the Treasury should be avoided. TOBACCO TAX. There was received during the last fiscal year, from all sources of internal revenue, the sum of $130.8H.434.20, This, it is estimated, would be increased. under existing laws, to $135,000.00 for the current fiseal year, ° The total tobacco tax is $31.966,887.53, What- | ever may be ssid of the moral or physical ef- fects and influence of tobacco, it has come to be regarded us a necessity by the poor as weil as the rich. It is now the only product of agri- | eulture that is directly taxed by the govern- ment. The repeal of this tax would reduce the surplus about =32.000.000, ALCOHOL FOR USE IN THE ANTS. “The proposition to remove this tax, it would | seem, should commend itself to the advocates | of free raw material for use in domestic manu- | factures. Itcertainly should meet with favor from those who demand the free admission of wool, on which there was collected in the last fiseal year the sum of 35,952,211.76, and the pro- duction of which has been stimulated to the notable benefit of our agricultural interests by arate of duty about 200 per cent less then the tax on alcohol, The proposition to exempt! alcohol for use in the arts has met with the ob- | fection that it would imcrease the difticulty of | collecting the taxes on other distilled spirits, but the Senate amendment to House bill 9051 of the last Congress seems to provide the necessary safeguards. Incase the tax should be removed both from tobacco and alcohol used in the arts the reduction thus effected would be about 237,500,000. leaving a balance from in- ternal revenue of about $97,500,000. | THE TARIFF QUESTION. “Reduction in receipts from customs presents the only other advisable means for diminish- ing the revenue, This can be accomplished: | First. By reduction in rates of duty upon those | articles which, by reason of inconsiderate legia- lation, or changes which have occurred in the | development of our industries. are found to be | excessive. Second. By inerease in rates upon | articles which have not been successfully pro- | duced here, because not adequately protected; | the obvious effect of which increase would be | to stimulate domestic production and diminish | importations and revenue. It is plain that such articles should either be fairly protected | or placed upon the free list. Third, By trans- ferring to the free list articles which, from climatic or other causes, are not and can not be successfully produced here, also articles which, under existing conditions, we can not | economicully produce in suflicient quantities to | meet the needs of our people, or to serve the purpose of competition with foreign produc- tions, and articles the production of which is of inconsiderable importance. HORIZONTAL REDUCTION. “The cases are exceptional under onr tariff | ln which a moderate or reasonable reduction of rates would result in a decrease of the reve- | nue. As a general rule, a reduction in the | rates of duty would increase importations in| greater proportion than the rates are reduced, | and so increase rather than diminish receipts. | This would be the result of any plan of hori- reduction yet proposed; thus, a hori- zontal reduction of 10 or 20 per cent in rat might result in 20 or 50 per cent or even greater increase in the volume of imports. The tend- ency of this would be to largely increase the surplus, and, to the extent of increased im- portetions, to deprive American workmen of the employment which belongs to them, and | correspondingly to reduce the price of labor. | we disastrous effects of such a policy upon country would be threefold—First, It would diminish the demand for American labor and | capital by the umount of labor and capital expeuded in foreign countries upon the pro- | duction of such inmereased umportations, ond. It would withdraw from active circu. ion here the money required to pay the | duties on these increased importations, vnd thu add to the evils of our present surplus. ‘Third, I would largely inerease the adverse balance of | trade with foreign countries and contract our | oney necessarily increased indebtedness “A TARIFF POR REVENUE ONLY contemplates such an adjustment of duty as will yield the largost amount of revenue at the | lowest rates. It means the largest possible antity of importations consistent with the amount of customs revenue required to defray the expenses of the governmeut. “If, under a protective tariff. $30,000,000 of imporistions would pay annual revenue of S108. 0, to produce the sume amount at | hat rs under a tariff for revenue only, would ire $600.000.000 of i:mporta- tions. ‘The result of this policy, in the case supposed, would be to tuke from American producers their home market for 2300.000,000 of products aud transfer it to their foreign competitors. While it would thus deprive our workmen of employment it would also deplete the country of gold to pay for foreign labor and material which should be supplied at home. PRACTICES OF TRADE AFFECTING TARIFF. A tariff based upon the difference in the cost of lubor and materials, in this and foreign countries, will fail of its purpose in times of over-production and depression in competing countries. Foreign manufacturers are com- | pelled to maintain their extensive establish- ments in order to manufacture at the minimum cost, and as this is the only country that will buy more than is needed for present demand, it becomes at such times the dumping ground for all manufacturing Europe. Fora long time past a considerable proportion, at least of arti- eles of certain lines of importations, has been of this class. They have been sold here below, m fact without regard to, the cost of produc- tion, the manufacturers leoking to their own and forcign markets, which they control, tor their pro: All th conditions and practices of trade should be carefully considered in framing a taritl either for the purposes of protection or revenue, REVISION OF THE TARIFF. Whatever differences of opinion there may be with regard to the best method of disposing of the surplus revenue and preventing the ac- cumulation of money in the treasury beyond the proper needs of the government, and how- ever diverse may be opinions as to the abstract question of taxation for revenue purposes, customs and internal, there is general agree- ment that a revision of the tariff and customs laws is urgently needed. I believe it to be the dominant sentiment of the countr: in the adjustment of duties on imports. protection to hom should be a governing consid- While there isa wide divergence of judgment on this proposition, it caunot weil be denied that it is the settled poliey of this gov- ernment that such duties shall levied as to result in the protection of labor, employed in domestic industries, from destructive foreign competition. Oue of the fundamental objects in the levy- ing of dutics on imports, declared in the pre- amble of the first tariff act passed by Congress im 1759, was the encouragement and protection of manufactures. The doctrine thus proclaimed has broadened with our advancing civilization growth and its wisdom has been demon- strated by the marvelous development of those industries protected by the high duties de- anded by the necessities of the government t to civil war. It should, however, be remembered that the prime object in the impo- sition of these high duties was the raising of Fevenue, and rates were adjusted to that end rather than to the protection and development of domestic industries. It came about, there- fore, that the measure of protection was capri- cious and unequal and some industries were — prospered, while others, equally favored ¥ natural resources and conditions, either lan- gushed or failed of development, Speaking of the administrative feature of the tarif law he says: The tariff act of 1383 was hastily considered and passed. While intended #8 a protective measure it was based on former tariffs and perpetuated mavy of the inequalities and other defects with Which those acts abounded and which have not only been directly hurtful to certain domestic interests but have afforded opportunities for evasion and provoked coustant dispute and litigation. Certain of these inequalities and defects in the present law arise also from the changed conditions of trade and manufacture since its enactuunent. “Uniformity of assessment at the several ports, and often as between importers of like merchandise at the same ports, has not been secured. Doubts as to the meaning of many of rate provisions of the tariff schedules ed to constant appeals tothe Secretary the Treasury, which are often stimulated by speculative mporters aud customs attorneys, who seek to profit by the payment of the higher rates of duty, upon the basis of whick the mer- chandise is sold to the consumer, aud the chance of obtaining a refaud through the action of the ‘Treasury departmeut or the courts, Thus do- mestic producers and importing merchants are deprived of astable basis for their business calculations, and trade and commerce, as af- fected by the turiff, are thereby disturbed and WOR Oe ee It is therefore urged that in revising the tariff schedules care be taken to avoid conflicting provisious and ambiguities, which have been productive of the evils mentioned; also that Fates be so adjusted as to uvoid the inequalities of the existing law so hurtful to domestic in- He cites the lead ases as in point, aud nye that us the law now stands if tbe slvor OF | Ministrative features of customs laws simi countries,” amount of our ocean tonnage. sums paid by Great Brita and S carrying equal contest 1 proper aid and encouraj ities occur, EXEMPTIONS. An important recommendation relates to spe- cial exemptions from duties, “I feet constrained,” he says, “to invite at- tention also to numerous provisions which e: empt from duty merchandise otherwise duti- able, when imported by certain persons, societies or associations. Notable instances are found in the exemption of the personal effects and tools of trade of persons coming from abroad, and of household effects, without limit as to quantity or value; also, so-called works of art, and various other manufactured articles. Such discriminations are harmful. not only to the impor ade, but to established domes- tic mterests, ‘They are in many cases without ation upon any reasonable theory, and ve led to serious abuses,” The report contains a thorough discussion of the questions of undervaluations, appraisement, invoices, drawbacks and the gencral customs admininistration, all of which is technical in character. He recommends the enactment of the ad- to those proposed in the biils of the last Con- gress, concerning which there was a practical ugreement in the two parties, FOREIGN COMMERCE. With relation to foreign commerce the Sec- retary says: The total value of our imports and exports of merchandise and specie during the last fiseal year was $1,613,137,633, an inercase over the preceding year of 337,473,843, and Was greater than for any year since 155k. The Secretary recommends the repenl of the law of June 19. 1885, which provides “that the President of the United States shall suspend the collection of so much of the regular ton- nage tax imposed on foreign vessels as may be in excess of the tonnage and light house dues, or other equivalent tax or taxes, imposed on American vessels by the government of any foreign country, and that he shall indicate, by proclamation, the ports to which such suspension: shail apply as often as it may become necessary by reason of changes in the laws of the foreign country. Itis not known that the privilege of- | fered has led to the abolition of any tax on American vessels by any foreign government. ‘The advantage accrues mainly to foreign ves- sels, and there seems to be no good reason why vessels from one foreign couniry, without recompense, should escape taxes levied under similar circumstances on vessels from other OUB MERCHANT MARINE, Speaking of our merchant marine the Secre- tary says: “It is but a few years since we stood first among the nations in ship building, and were excelled only by Great Britain in the Now, 80 far as foreign trade is concerned, our ship’ yards are comparatively silent and’ our flag has almost disappeared from the high seas, cent of our tonnage was carried in our own ships; now 87 per cent is carried in foreign ‘Once 75 per bottoms.” The Seeretary gives a statement of the large , Germany, France puin in subsidies to their steamers for the mails, and adds: “The United States alone, of the great com- mercial nations, while encouraging railroads by liberal grants and subsidies, and protecting her coastwise and internal commerce and all her home industries, has utterly neglected and abandoned her great foreign’ maritime inter- ests, ices rendered by ves although Congress ha en declin ng to pay fair rates for serv- ls of the United States, d appropriated money for ‘American merchants, ship build- the purpose, ers and ship owners ask no special advantages. € their own a ve them an equal chance and they will hold iust all competitors, But the: ted long to maintain the un- inst foreign capital, backed by foreign treasuries.” SUBSIDIES FOR AMERICAN STEAMERS. “Firmly convinced that American steamship annot be ex builders and owners can not unaided compete with the goveruments of Europe; that without zement from the United States, we shall not only fail to regain our lost foreign carrying trade, but even to ret: much longer the small remnant that remains, and that the restoration of our merchat marine is essential to the extension of our foreign i do not hesitate to recommend that liberal and judicious aid and encouragement iven for the construction of steam mer- nt vessels, suitable for use as cruisers and nsports in time of war; that fair and liberal «be paid to American steamers for trans- portation of mails to foreign countries; and that special aid, either in the form of mail pay, or for mileage run, be made for the establish- ment of direct connection by American steamer lines with Mexico, Central and South America, and with China and Japan.” ‘he Secretary calls attention to the state- meut of the bureau of statistics concerning our trade with South American nations, showing, as he says, a most unsatisfactory condition of our export trade with these nations, THE SILVER QUESTION. Perhaps the most important part of the re- | Portis that relating to the silver question. Upon this sub; important rv ctthe Secretary makes some ommendations, proposing an original and ingenious plan for settling the question to the best interest of the whole coun- ‘The continued coinage of the silver dollar,” he say increasing monthly is a distarbing element in the otherwise i al condition of the country and a positive hindrance to any internati metals at a fixed ratio, Mandatory purchases by the government of stated quantities of sil- ver. and mandatory coinage of the same into fall legal tender dollars, are an unprecedented anomaly, and have proved futile, not ouly i restoring the value of silver, but even in stay. ing the downward price of that me the passage of the act of Februar. ovember 1, 1849, there have becn purchased Y.899.410.11 standard ounces of siver, at a cost of 2254, 910,635.64, from which there have been coined 343,635.001 standard silver dollars, There were in circulation on November 1 of the present year 60,098,480 silver dollars, less than $1 per capita, the remainder, 283,539,521, being stored away in government vaults. of which & 44 were covered by outstand- ing certificates. ‘Lhe price of silver on March St 15-16 pence, equal to $1.20429 per ounce fine, At this price £2,000,000 would purease 1,660,729 ounces of fine silver, which would coin 205 standard silver dollars, At the average price of silver for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1889 (42.499 pence), equivaient to £0.93163 p * $2,000,000 would out of which #5 standard silver dollars could be coined, ‘The lower the price of silver tl reater the quantity that must be purchased, and the larger the number of silver dollars to be coined tocomply with the act of February 28, 1878. ‘No proper effort has been spared by the ‘Treasury department to put in circulation the dollars coined under this law. They have been shipped, upon demand, from the mints and b-treasuries, free of charge, to the nearest and the most distant localities in the United States, only to find their way back into Treas- ury vaults in payment of government dues and taxe. Surely tho stock ef these daliare which can perform any useful function asa circulat- ing medium must soon be reached, if it has not been already, and the further coinage aud stor- age of them will then become a waste of public money and a burden upon the Treasury, It is freely admitted that the predictions of many of our wisest financiers, as to when the safe limit of silver coinage would be reached, have not been fultilled, but it is believed that the principles on which their apprehensions were ased are Justified by the laws of trade and finance and by the universal experience, of mankind, While many favorable causes have co-operated to postpone the evil effects which are sure to follow the excessive issue of an overvalued coin, the danger none the less exists. “The silver dollar has been maintained at par with zold. the monetary unit, mainly by the provisions of law which make ita full fegal tender, and its representative, the silver cer- titicate, receivable for customs and other due: but the vacuum created by the retirement of national bauk circulation, and the policy of the government in not forcibly paying out silver, but leaving its ace ope largely to the creditor, have materially aided its free cirea- lation. ‘The extraordinary growth of this coun- try in population and wealth, the unprece- dented development in all kinds of business, and the unswerving confidence of the people in the good faith and financial condition of our government have been powerful influences in enabling us to maintam depreciated and con- stantly depreciating dollar at goid coins, far beyond the limit which was be- lieved possible a few years ago, But the fact must pot be overlooked that it is only in do- poyrwons trade Se nepdinser i retained; in foreign trade iiver ‘possesses onl; bullion value.” ¥ JOINT USE OF GOLD AND SILVER, After discussing at some length the causes of the depreciation of silver, he continues: “It is unquestionably true that, in this country, public sentiment and commercial and in- dustrial necessity demand the joint use of both metals as money, It is not to i abandon the use of either goldordlrer money, Since the utilization of both metal: as a circulating medium andas a basix for paper currency, is Tue Sron. Asxvar Reconp. believed to be essential to our national pros-| ITS ENORMOUS TOTAL AND WIDE DISTRIBU- perity. We cannot discard either if we would without invoking the most serious conse- juences. But the unprecedented change in the market value of the two metals within the last sixteen years, and the steady depreciation of silver in the face of the large purchases on tho part of this government, arouse grave ap- prehensions and cause great difficulties. The problem, therefore, presented for con- sideration, he says, and which demands the action of Congress, is not which metal shall we use, but “How shall we use bot! THE SECRETARY'S PLAN. After discussing several plans the Secretary recommends the following plan, which he has prepared after a very carefulstudy of the ques- tion: issue Treasury notes against deposits of silver bullion at the market price of silver when deposited, payable on demand in such quantitics of silver bullion as will equal in value, at the date of presentation, the number of dollars expressed on the face of the notes at the market price of silver, or in gold, at the option of the government; or in silver dollars, at the option of the holder. Repeal the com- pulsory feature of the present colnage act. “The Secretary,” the report says, ‘desires to call special attention to this proposition, be- lieving that in the application of its principles will be found the satest, surest and most satis- factory solution of the silver problem as it is now presented for the action of this country. _ In explaining the proposed measure, at this t is intended to deal only with its general features, but, if desired, a bill embracing the details believed to be necessary to its satis- factory operation will be prepared and sub- mitted for the consideration of Congress, _ The proposition is briefly this: To open the mints of the United States to the free deposit ot silver, the market value of the same (not te exceed $1 for 412.5 grains of standard silver) at the time of deposit to be paid in Treasury notes; said notes to beredeemable in the qaan- tity of silver which couldbe purchased by the number of dollars expressed on the face of the notes at the time presented for payment, or in old, at the option of the government, and to ‘4 receivable for customs, taxes and all public dues; and when so received they may be re- ed; and such notes, when held by any national banking association, shall be counted as part of its lawful reserve. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury should have discretionury power to suspend, temporarily, the receipt of silver bullion for payment in notes, when necessary to protect the govern- ment against combinations formed for the pur- pose of giving an arbitrary and fictitious price to silver. If the price of silver should advance between the date of the issue of a note and its payment the holder of the note would receive a less quantity of silver than he deposited, but the exact quantity which could be bought in the market with the number of gold doilars called for by his note at the date of payment. If the price should decline he would receive more silver than he deposited, but the quantity which could be purchased with the number of goid dollars called for by his note at the time presented for payment. ‘The advantages of retaining the option to re- deem in gold are three-fold: First. It would give additional credit tothp notes. Second. It would prevent the withdrawal and redeposit of silver for speculative purposes, Third, It would afford a convenient method of making change when the weight of silver bars does not corre- spond with the amount of the notes. ADVANTAGES OF THE PROPOSED MEASURE, “Among the obvious advantages of the meas- ure proposed,” says the report, ‘the following may be briefly stated: ‘First. It would establish and maintain through the operations of trade a convenient and economical use of all the money-metal in the country. Second. It would give us a paper currency wot subject to undue or arbitrary in- flation or contraction, nor to fluctuating values, but based, dollar for dollar, on bullion at its market price, and having behind it the pledge of the government to maintain its value at par, it would be as good as gold, and would remain in circulation, as there could be no motive for demanding redemption for the purposes of or- dinary business transactions, Thi, By the utilization of silver in this way a market would be provided for the surplus product, ‘This would tend to the rapid enhancement ot its value, until a point be reached where we can with safety open our mints to the free coinage of silver, Fourth, The volume of absolutely sound and perfectly convenient currency thus introduced Into the channels of trade would also relieve gold of a part of the work which it would other- wise be required to perform, Both of the causes last mentioned, it is confidently believed, would tend to reduce the difference in value between the two metals and to restore the equi- hbrium so much desired, It would furnish a perfectly sound currency to take the place of retired national bank notes, and thus prevent the contraction feared from that source. Fifth. It would meet the wants of those who desire larger volume of circulation, by the introduction of a currency, which, being ut all times the equivalent of gold, would freely cir- culate with it, and thus avoid the danger of contraction, which lurks in the policy of in- creased or free coinage of silver, by reason of the hoarding or exportation of gold. Sixth, It should not encounter the opposition of those who deprecate inflation, for, though the volume ofcurrency may be somewhat increased, the notes would be limited to the surplus product silver, and each dollar thus issued would be ab- solutely sound, and would represent an amount of bullion worth a dollar in gold. Seventh. It would be far more advantageous to silver producers than increased coinage uncer existing law, for in both cases builion would be paid for at its market value, and under th plan proposed a much larger amount could used with safety. and while increased coinage would aronse the fears and enconnter the op- position of a very large and powerful class of people, it isbeheved that this measure would meet with their acquiescence. Eighth, There would be no possibility of loss to the holders of these notes, because in addition to their full face vaiue in bullion they would have behind them the pledged “aith of the government to redcem them in gold, or its equivalent in silver bullion, Ninth. The adoption of this policy, and the repeal of the compulsory coinage act, would quict public apprehension in regard to the over-issue of standard silver dol- lars, and the present stock could there- fore be safely maintained at par. Tenth, This plin could be tried with perfect safety, and it is believed with advantage to all our interests, Should it prove asuccessful and satisfactory plan for utilizing silver as money, other nations might find it to their interest to adopt it, without waiting for an international agreement. and should concerted action be d nea desirable it could then be more readily secured. Ly this method it is believed that the way would be paved for the opening of the mints of the world to the free coinage of silver and the restoration of the former equilibrium of the money metals. ‘The Secretary then points out and answers the several objections that may be ruised to the plan, He deprecates the policy of depositing large sums of government money in national banks He recommends also thata sufficient number of cruising vessels be chartered to assist the reve- nue cutters in the protection of the seal fish- eries in Behring sea, THE DISTRICT'S FINANCES, After giving a statement of the receipts and expenditures and operations of the sinking fund of the District, as shown by the reports of officers already published in Tax Srar, he speaks of the fact that of the bonded indebt ness of the District $3,330,550 will be payable in 1891 and $919,300 in 1392. “As all of these maturing bonds bear 6 or 7 per cent interest, provision, he says, should be made to refund them at « lower rate, and attention is invited to the plan submitted in the treasurer’s annual report on the sinking fund. soe Jack Dempsey and Billy McCarthy of Aus- tralia have signed articles and posted a forteit of £250 to fight in January, ‘The fight will be for 1,800 and world’s middle-weight cham- pionship.
