would not be wis to revr-e the
tariif ivav, because political af
fairs have quk'b.'J, and it would
injure business to stir up tariff,
matters; tha n, later, it would be
unwise to revise the tariif before
the Presidential election, because
flrtnficiontly with business, with
out the additional "scare" of up
set tariff schedules; and then af
ter election, the argument has
been that the country has suffer
ed enough from political interfer
ence with their business to en
title them to be "spared" the
further disquieting effects of a
tariff re-vision discussion.
Inasmuch as the tim of the
nation ail is divided into three
periods between election, just
before election and just after
election it has appeared hither
to difficult for the friends of pro
tection of the ultra-high variety
to locate a point of time when re
vision would be wise.
Does it matter when the tariff
is re.v.sed? Let us see. Presi
dent Van Cleave, of the National
Manufacturers' Association, ad
mits that the prevailing high tar
iif causes annually the addition
of $o,0U0,000 for each working
day to the cost of goods bought
by the people o! the United
States, or a total increase of $1)00,
000,000 each year. Four years
ago, the country was promised
that "when the necessity arose
for the revision ot the tariff, the
Republican party would revise
it." or words to that ell'ect. If
President Van Cleave be correct
in his estimate, then it has cost
the nation tTOOO.POO.OOO a year, or
vo, 000,0( '0,000 for the past four
years, because the "nece.-sity for
revision" seemed not to have
ans-.n. m tne opinion or tne
"standpnt" friends of tiie exist
ing too high tar'lf.
"l!y their fruits ye shall know
tlu-m," and "proof of the pud
ding is in the eating," are (af
ferent statements of the same
idea. Assume that it has been
applied to the (appaiently) un
revisable tariff, tiooked it from
past performances, ) keeping in
mind that practically all the bless
ings of the American people have
been credited to that same exist
ing tariff laws, and then read
these figures, vouched for by un
i in eac h able au t horit i es :
The wealth of the nation is
$1u7,10 1,211,017; yet 70 per cent
of it is owned by L'OO.OOO persons,
the other 30 per cent belonging
to about 90,000,000; 5,000 persons
own one-sixth of that total
wealth; when the steel trust dir
ectors meet around the board
table, they represent one-twelfth
of the whole country s wealth
Everyone has seen that picture
