Tariff Bill Is a Robber Bill; Kill It! (EDITORIAL) ‘THE tariff bill has now been in the sen- ate nine weeks. Of the 2,088 amend- ments to the house bill, made by the sen- ate finance committee, less than 500 have been discussed and voted upon, while a few have been modified downward, under the pressure of an aroused public opinion. But the bill, as it now stands, is still the most vicious and utterly indefensible tariff measure presented for the serious consider- ation of congress since the adoption of the constitution of the United States. wre Every cardinal principle of scientific, or even intelligent, tariff making has been abandoned in the construction of this bill. American-made goods, such as shoes, saws, cotton goods, steel products and a host of others which, under the operation of a moderate tariff, have come to domin- ate not only our domestic markets, but the markets of the world, have been solemnly declared to be in danger from “cheap for- ign labor” and have scconding’y been i bodily and placed on a high protec- tive ~hh—hictes and diier than anything hitherto dreamed of. is so bad that on important has been oe repudiated by pper, of ; ashin, ; Kellogg, of Minnesota, and A Lorrain by even such men as Poindexter, of Washington, and Townsend and Hiram Johnson. This bill will hit the pockets of every consumer in America. But it will hit the average Seattle citizen of hard-earned dol- lars to pour them into the pockets of a handful of rich who deserve it not at all.
