He attacked the pendln wool tariff revision offered by the democrats, declaring; that their plea of needing revenue for the gov ernment treaury wa a serious ar gument for keeping high duties on woolen . f ood. "If the government would put a reasonable tax on tobacco, which mar be considered a luxury," aid Mr. Warburton, "ft could let- in weolen rood, cotton goods and u g-ar without any . tariff whatever. If thie country taxed .tobacco, a England or France does, we could close the doors, of all the customs houses except as te- the importations . of liquors atd tobaccos." Mr. Werburton said the democrats had been afraid to reduce the 'duties, on wool any. further for fear of the result' at the election if. the woolen Industry was prostrated by the re , moval of protection. He said the - democrats had been compelled to don the republican doctrine of pro lection .. and excused themselves on the ground of needing revenue. "And in the meantime," said Mr, warburton, "American , people are paying six times as much'' tax to the ' government on sugar as they are on five cent. cigars; twelve times as much on sugar as on ten cent cigars, thirty timet .as- much on sugar as on 25 aent .cigars, . atd 0 times as rmich ft' sugar as on BO cent cigars.
