One Year... 20|One Month + $9.75 VOLUME ++ NO. 18,698 KICKING GOALS WITH THE TARIFF. HE tariff is not a light topic nor a gay one. It is as hard to I treat playfully as the equator itself. Yet one time or another even frivolous minds must buckle down to it. One of the later documents of the Wilson campaign is a pam- phiet called “An Appeal to College Men,” in the course of which H. ©. Marshall, a New York lawyer, puts into simple words adapted to flighty, addled, or over-incubated brains, 2 few plain facts about protection. For those to whom the words “protective tariff” convey a mystic vision of divine beneficence watching over and showering blessings upon each and every toiler in this favored vineyard, the most striking conclusion, derived from careful analysis of population, trades and import duties, is that Less than eight per cent. of those employed in gainful oo cupations in the United States are even now “protected” by the existing tariff. On the other hand The present tariff system imposes a burden of approx mately cight per cent. of their income upon all classes by way Of higher prices, See how it works out: The total importations of all articies of consumption at the Present time amount to slightly more than $1,500,000,000. Of these articles almost exactly one-half are dutiable; and the average ad valorem duty on theee dutiable imports ts in excess of 41 per cent., the total revenue collected being approrimately 300,000,000. While perfect accuracy ae to the effect of the present exccssive duties on the general average of prices is not possidle, statisticians who have approached the problem from warious points of view are convinced that the general average de at least ten per cent. higher than it would be without the exlsting duties. If, for the sake of conservatiem, we take eight per cent. as our figure, and estimate the total consumption or expenditure of the country at $15,000,000,000, an amount that ein reasonably close accord with the census figures and allows $750 per family, the total burden to the consumer resulting from the tariff is $1,200,000,000. The burdens of the existing tari’ system in higher prices are at least four times as great as the amount of revenues received therefrom by the Government, end the effect of this wasteful system of tavation is that of a terrific burden upon industry. It is never the consumer who is “protected.” Protection hovers @ntifully around the rich manufacturer and the powerful trust. When we come to specific industries, such as manufactures of wool— the famous Schedule K items—it becomes plainer still who carries the burden: The Tariff Boord has made the statement that American made goods practically identical with foreign goods excluded by some of the highest rates in the woollen schedule sell on the Amerioon market at prices varying from 60 to 80 per cent. Moher than the foreign prices. © ° | * + Prices of auch manufactures in thie country are at least 50 per cent higher on Gocount of the emisting tariff, an estimate that fully accords with individual eaperionce, * 9 © The duty cot lected on manufactures of wool being approximately $20,000,000 per yoor, and approwimately $16,000,000 of that amount being for the protection of the process of manufacture, the burden placed upon the consumer in higher prices resulting from these duties is substontiay ten times as great as the revenue col lected. Figures and data supporting these conclusions are condensed and plain enough for anybody, even a college man, to grasp. Few tariff expositions in the present campaign have been more “tidy” or readable. The tariff is a tough proposition. Yet even those who refnse to toil through its intricacies aro becoming more and more con- vinced that powerful interests have converted what was meant to be % temporary guardian of growing industry into a permanent, armed body slave of privilege and extortion, and that Gov. Wilson is right when he declares that “tariff duties have not been a means of setting up an equitable system of protection. ‘They have been, on the con- trary, a method of fostering special privilege. They have made it easy to establish monopoly in our domestic markets. Trusts havo owed their origin and their secure power to them. The economic freedom of our people, our prosperity in trade, our untrammelled energy in manufacture depend upon their reconsideration fr to bottom in an entirely different spirit.” fderereceraenntens nr tpeehntstliaileondiihaniasis Letters From the People ‘The Setence of the “Curve.” ‘Te the Ratitor of The Evening World, A correspondent inquires if a base- batl can really be thrown in such a manner as to make it curve or “break.” There was a complete mathematical Aiscussion of this subject in the Scten- ‘om top ward.

Kentucky was the first region beyond the Alleghanies settled by Americans. It was a part of Virginia and was known as Fincastle County, But the frontiersmen complained that the mother State did not protect them adequately nor give them good government. So they petitioned to be freed from Virginia. Spain also had an eye on the colony and sought to establish a separate “natton” there under a Spantsh protectorate. The upshot of all the discontent and plots was that Kentucky in 1792 was admitted to the Union as a State The new State found {tself in continuous trouble with the Indians and with the Louisiana Spaniards.
