Washington April 8 ?-Free trade
M ? MOlUBal puliif of the United!
BUte# |? Ut Sight ?| a result of the i
adoption of the ponst.tutlonal amendmeat
authorising a direct Income tax
to produce Fedora] revenue.
Whatever mar be eald to the contrary,
whether aa to the meritf of the
queetlon or ?a to the facta, this significance
ia Irresistibly borne In upon
the open-minded observer of developtnenta
In connect.on with the fram- ;
inn or thb new tariff bill.
Now for the first time since the '
Constitution was ratified, the expenses
of the government can be le- |
are now met entu^ly by the indirect
method, so It la inevitablo that the
d.roct method, at last made possible,
will ryrrin^ to tho ww mr> extreme,
and that, in due course, we shall find
ourselves raising practically all the
national revenue by a graduated income
tax. 1 1
This country la simply duplicating
the experience of England with regard,
to the tariff and the income|
tax. 'MCbttpoly an England has taken
the form ofland-ownerah p. where.
In thl* country, it has taxen other
forms. " We^have no vested nobility,
and the vastnegs of our territory has
saved us from the landlord-tenant
problem as it has existed in the
! United Kingdom.
But just at the time when tfce monopoly
of the public domain has begun
to be a aer.ous issue in the
united States, we are switching to
I the revenue-raising system wh.ch
I .Great Britain, adopted after ceiuuilies
of Buffering, as a means of tuakling
land-monopoly unprofltab e. We
l?
llnar Uxee In ascending pronortion ac-1
cording to the extent of 1U aggregation.
And wh.le this Ls being done in
tbe' United 8tates, the tariff pendu- ,
lum will swiiVK at least as far to- 1
varda free trade with the reat of the
world as It has swung in England.
There seems to be a sort of tacit
agreement among the spokesmen of (
the protection and antt-protectlop
schools as represented in Washing- I
ton that t|te advent of the Income-tax
removes the "tariff for revenue'^
from the field as a necessity and a :
compromise, and that the t:me has
come to begin the absolute test
which is certain to be made, sooner or
later, of the effect of free markets
mmmttr ? ?
The theoretical free traders look
vindication of their views and to a
revi\ed national prosperity which
shall be shared by a larger proportion
of the populat.on than any ever
enjoyed under the protective system.
On the other hand, the protectionists
profess eqnal confidence that the test
will prove the correctness of their
own reasoning that national prosperity
la dependent upon a tariff wall.
If we had In effect In the United
States the same Income tax which Is
now In effect in England, we'could
pay b 1' of the present expenses of our
government without raising" a cent "or
revenue either from customs taxation
or from what ls known as the
-internal, revenue field. We ahould
not need anything from Imports or
from spirits or tobacco. But, of
course, It Is not pioposed that we
shall at one step go as far in our In*
come taxation as Eng'and has gone.
