A protective tariff, other than for National revenue, is unconstitutional, A high tariff as geperally ad- ministered, closes our ports, which practically kills foreign competition, thereby enabling the home manu- facturer to exploit financially all con- summers, for they are then his vietime, It gives Lhe few a monopoly of domestic trade, which is always detri- mental to the consumer. A high protictive tariff does not better the condaition of labor, Labor car, through threst and strikes, mulst a little ¢x the employer, but the ter fl t Prrint well i frimm doing ec. A bigh tsi fosters business for the employer and robs bis workingmen through excessive prices on commodi- ties. It also greatly lowers the value of the dollar. A high tariff kills home competi- tion, monopolizes commodities, makes poesible the restriction of trade, and in times of disquiet, or approaching national elections, induces owners to close their mills and factories in order to force employees to vote for high tariff or be thrown out of work. A high tariff creates caste—rich and poor. The former promises to make American laborers prosperous, but lm- ports cheap laborers by the million to do their work, A high tariff enables the manuo- facturer to sell surplus goods in foreign lands, unde selling the foreigver, and paying the freight on the goode, and make profit on the sales, They do not sell such goods to the home consumer because it would expose their nefarious game of robbery of said consumer, No tarifl bas ever raised wages or salaries jworth mentioning. It has made 2 per cent, of Americans owners of 656 per ;cent, of all American busi- ness. It has also created the greatest monopolist of money and trade on earth, and thereby victimized the helpless consumer and paoperized him, Oar robber trusts that are cresting starvation and misery, are the direct results of high tariffs, and this in the greatest, fairest land on God's foot. stool.
