J
heard the peremptory refusal of the
manager of the great firm of Carnegie &
Co. to inform a congressional committee
what was the c«J3t of the production of
a commodity upon which a heavy pro
tective tax was imposed against foreign
competition. Therefore, it becomes
impossible to learn with any npproxi
mate accuracy how much is needed for
protection, or how much is actually
paid in. increased prices by the
great body of American consumers.
Hut this is plain : That the protective
tax is absolutely antagonistic to the
îvenue. Tts profit to the
favored beneficiary depends upon re
stricted importation, and restricted lin
portatlon not only
revenue but equally restricted markets
abroad for American productions.
Restricted markets mean diminished
demand, and that means diminished
[ employment of labor and lowor wages,
Thus a tax laid for protection has no
measure, no limit, ami is incapable of
public estimation because private profits
»t be compelled to bo disclosed and
individual greed has no known limit.
King Solomon told us of four things
which say ''it is not enough," and
he alive to-day he would add a-fifth-
the demands <>f the protected class ac
cording to the gospel of Mr. Mclvinlcy.
Thus before the American people aie
displayed the antagonistic
/stems of taxation— _
cratic principle of a tariff for revenue
only—a definite and public end for
ascertainable amount regulated
harmony with the commercial and agri
cultural industries of the entire body of
the American people; the other, pro
tectionism for :
individual profit, dictated by its bene
ficiaries and limbed only by their dis
cretion. The tax f<
mate and just burden. The tax for pro
tection is antagonistic to revenue, and
is simply favorit- ism or state socialism,
adverse to the liberty of the individual

Philadelphia, Sept. 24.—The
steamer Kite, bearing tho members of
the Peary exploring expedition, which
readied this city at 11.40 o'clock yester
day morning, was met down tlu* river
by a party of Philadelphians on the tug
Lillie M. Graham. The reception party
boarded tho Kite and warmly welcnmod
tiie returning heroes.
Ah the Kite passed up tiie river there
was a continual bursting of rockets
from tho shore and whistling of tags
ami ferryboats. As tiie vessel neared
tiie Washington street pier, Lieutenant
and Mrs. Peary went up on the bridge.
Their appearance was greeted by three
rousing cheers from those on the wharf.
Lieutenant Peary then asked fora Ko
dak and Mrs. Peary took a picture of
til«,* people who welcomed them home.
At 11.40 tiie vessel was moored and the.
journey was ended.
Just before Lieutenant Peary left the
vessel a most touching seen«! occurred.
Miss Mattie Verlmoff,whose brother \v<
