and lasting financial policy, in strong
the Whigs passed the tariff of that |
year. It did not last long, however, |
and only reached an average of 36 per
cent. Then came another Fevival of |
revenue reform, and the Walker tariff |
of 1846 was passed after a very bitter
contes' by the casting vote in the sen-
ate of Vice President Dallas, of this |
state. At first the Walker tarifl’ was
received in the manufactaring districts |
as if it had been the death-knell of all |
industries, In Pittsburg the feeling!
was so intense that Vice President |
Dallas was hung and burnt in effigy
on top of Monument hill in Alleghe- |
ny, and the general talk of the protect- |
ed patriots, as it is just now, was that
idleness, beggary and want would be
its sure fruits. A very few years |
showed how far wrong they were, It
is safe to say that everything prosper |
ed under the tariff of 1846 and 10 years |
after it passed both Democrats and |
lepublicans came together and still |
further reduced its rates by the tariff}
ef 1857, under which the average of |
duties went down to 19 per cent. It!
was the only non-partisan tariff of the |
last 70 years. Mr. Seward, speaking |
of the vote in the senate on this “free |
trade” tariff, said that “the vote of not
a single senator was governed by any
partisan consideration whatever.”
Mr. Blaine in his “Twenty Years”
says that under the tariffs of 1846 and
1857 there was abundant revenue; that |
manufactures flourished, and that in
a short time opposition to these laws
practically ceased. The tariff ques
tion went out of politics,
Then came the civil war, with the
necessity of increased revenues and |
every metaod of taxation was resorted
to. Talk of Democratic tariff tinker
ing, the tariffs of 1845 and 1857 are the |
only ones they have made in the last |
half century, while the Republicans
froma their first tariff law of 1761 to the
McKinley law of 1890 have passed no
less than 26 separate tariff bills. There
is tinkering for you. And the strik- |
ing fact is that the heaviest war taxes
imposed fall short of the extortion of |
the McKinley tariff 25 years after the
war. There was a constantly ascend- |
ing scale of customs taxation for the
creation of trusts and monopolies,
In 1883 the Republicans appointed a |
tariff commission, made up exclusive |
ly of protectionists, to revise the tariff,
Mr. H. W. Oliver, of this city, was
undoubtedly the most influential and
important member of this commis. |
sion. It traveled over the country
and made a thorough examination of
all industries through the testimony
of those conducting them. As a re
sult Mr. Oliver and his commission
unanimously reported that the then
existing duties ought to be reduced 20
to 25 per cent. The duties then in
force for the most part were less than
those of the present McKinley tariff,
Except as to raw materials, the New
York Evening Post says, the Wilson
bill is not on the whole more radicai
than the tariff commission bill of 1883,
' although ns to single items there may
be decided differences, We have had
no opportunity of making an examin-
ation and therefore suggest that Mr.
Oliver has the floor, On one item
