PLEDGE US KEPI DOWNWARD REVISION OF THE TARIFF BY PAYNE BILL WAS SUBSTANTIAL. BRYAN'S PLATFORM IS FALSE High Prices in Nc Way Attributable to the New Customs Law—Pertin ent Remarks by Congressman Boutell and President Taft. Washington. William Jennings Bryan is advising the Democratic pa pers of the country how to run the congressional campaign of 1910 and get a Democratic majority in the next house of representatives. He admits that he has given his advice to each Democratic member of congress, but that most of them have "overlooked" it. Now, here is Mr. Bryan's "plat form." which he says is to bring suc cess: The increased cost of manufactured goods is largely due to an increase in tariff rates. The increase rather than a decrease in the tariff rates is due to a betrayal of the public by the Repub lican party." As every schoolboy who is old enough to read knows, this statement is wholly untrue and every part of it is a malicious, abominable, wicked, vi cious falsehood. There has been no increased cost of manufactured goods that can, in the least degree, be at tributed to the new tariff. Raw cotton is high, very high, though no one but an ignoramus or a knave connects the price with the tar iff, for cotton is on the free list. If cotton goods are any higher, it can therefore in no way be attributed to the tariff. There was no increase in the duty on cotton goods save in the case of a few high-priced goods, which the masses do not buy. In regard to flax, hemp, and jute, and the manufac tures from those materials, practical ly all the changes in the new tariff law were reductions of the duty. In wool and woolens there was no change. Tn iron and steel, and the manufactures of, there were very sub stantial reductions. The same can be said of wool and manufactures of wood, and of earth, earthenware, and glassware and chemicals. There was a. reduction of the duty 011 boots and shoes, and the duty 011 hides was ta ken off altogether. Revision Was Downward. There were increases on silks and silk goods, and on spirits, wines, and beverages and other luxuries. There were 2,024 items in the Dingley law— 1.150 were loft unchanged, the duly on 220 was increased, and the duty on 051 was decreased. The duty was decreased on goods having the consumptive value of $5, 000,000.000, and, excepting luxuries, increased 011 goods having the con sumptive value of less than $250,000, 000. In other words, the decreases were more than 13 times Ihe in creases, considering consumptive val ue of products affected. The public was not betrayed. The platform pledge to revise the tariff was not only kept, trnt it was revised very substantially downward, as the people were given to expect by the party leaders. Moreover, the new tariff has already fully vindicated the wisdom of its farmers, those who passed It, and President Taft, who signed it. From a revenue standpoint, it has really exceeded all expectations, there being an increase already o( over $40,000,000. The revenues are now about equal to the expenditures, and the deficit for the year will be small, if it be not wiped out alto gether. Everyone in the country who wants work can get it, and besides we are taking care of nearly 100,000 immi grants a month. Wages and employ ment are at the highest level in our history, and the only cloud in a clear sky of prosperity is the high prices of certain kinds of food. This, however, cannot be in any way attributed to the new tariff law, as the duty was re duced on nearly all food products. High prices are the rule the world over, and it is to be hoped that the cause and remedy will be found, and that in the near future relief will come in this direction. It is not believed that Mr. Bryan and hia followers will be able to de ceive the people as they were deceived in 1892. Never were our farmers so prosperous never were our mechanics and laborers so well rewarded. Never were our savings so great as now. From every standpoint the new tariff is working splendidly, and under its operation we have entered an era of progress and prosperity against which Mr. Bryan cannot make much head way with his effort to preach calamity and treachery. Boutell en High Price Probe. As regards the investigations con cerning high prices, they will be thor ough and complete. In this conneo tlon the following extract from a re cent speech of Congressman Boutell, of Illinois, is given: 1 would like to see the tariff ex perts appointed under the Payne tariff act take this up and look into the prices of Imported articles. I would like to see the senate committee look into the whole subject of prices. 1 would like to see a committee of house composed exclusively of men* hers of the minority take it up. would like to see an Investigation Into this matter of prevailing high prices made by a committee composed of one delegate each from the boards of trade of every southern state But you gentlemen from the agricultural ^strlcts, you do not want an Investi gation, and the country is getting onto your bluff. You are getting letters from your constituents, and lliey are saying, 'We do not want any investi gation that will reduce the price of cat tle. We do not want any investigation that will put cattle on the free list. We do not want any investigation that will reduce the price of wheat, of corn, of oats, of rice. That is the trouble you have made a mistake you have put your heads into the noose, and we are going to draw it lighter and tighter, and we are going to show the country the blunder you have made in attributing an advance in prices to the Payne tariff. "I close with a statement which everybody who has studied the Payne tariff knows is true. Every man in this body ought to know.it. Investi gation by a commission such as I have suggested, made up exclusively of Democrats from agricultural districts, would prove it, and it would be a unan imous report of all that investigated this subject of high prices: There is not in the Payne tariff law a siugle advance in rate above the Dingley rates that justifies an Increase in the final retail price to the ultimate con sumer of a single necessary article of food, of clothing, or of household use. Read that statement in the Record to morrow morning and ponder it. That Is what you gentlemen of the minority do not want to have shown. And the agricultural districts are opposed to any agitation that threatens the pres ent high prices of their products." Taft's Lincoln Day Speech. Here are some pertinent extracts from President Taft's Lincoln day speech in New York: "In what respect has the Republican party failed in its conduct of the gov ernment and the enactment of laws to perform its duty? It was returned to power a year ago last November by a very large majority, after a campaign in which it made certain promises in its platform, and these promises it has either substantially complied with or it is about to perform within the pres ent session of congress. "We did revise the tariff. It is im possible to revise the tariff without awakening the active participation in the formation of the schedules of those producers whose business will be af t'ccted by the change. This is the in herent difficulty in the adoption or re vision of a tariff by our representative system. "Nothing was expressly said in the platform that this revision was to be a downward revision. The implication that it was to be generally downward, however, was fairly given by the fact that those who upheld a protective tariff system defend it by the claim that after an industry has been estab lished by shutting out. foreign compe tition. the domestic competition will lead to the reduction in price so as to make the original high tariff unneces sary. "T repeat, therefore, that this was a downward revision. It was not down word with reference to silks or liquors or high-priced cottons, in the nature of luxuries. It was downward in respect to nearly all other articles except wool ens, which were not affected at all. Certainly it was not promised that the rates of luxuries should be reduced. The revenues were falling off, there was a deficit promised, and it was es sential that the revenues should be In creased. "It was no violation of the promise to increase the revenues by Increasing the tax on luxuries, provided there was downward revision on all other ar ticles. Customs Receipts Growing. "Of course, as the country increases in population the customs receipts in crease, but even considering the popu lation, the increase in the tariff re ceipts has been marked. Under the Wilson tariff the average annual cus toms receipts per capita were $2.38 under the Dingley tariff $3.22, while under the Payne tariff they are $3.71. "For the six months that the Payne tariff has been in force the total re ceipts both from customs and internal revenue have been $328,899,231.91, while the disbursements have been $332,783,283.08, showing that the ex penditures-exceeded the receipts by only $8,844,051.17, with no collection a--, yet from the corporation tax. For the corresponding period last year the expenditures exceeded the receipts by over $40,00(7,000. This showing indi cates that under the present customs law the deficit will be promptly wiped out, and that to meet our normal ex penditures we shall have ample rev enue. "If the Democratic party were a solid, cohesive opposition, guided by one principle and following the same economic views as they hold, the situ ation would be far more discouraging than it is. The Republican party has been the party responsible for the gov ernment for the last 17 years. It has discharged those responsibilities with wonderful success. The problems grow ing out of the Spanish war and those which have come from the rapid ac cumulation of wealth and the greed for power of Its accumulators it hss fallen to the party to meet, and while they have not yet all had a perfect so lutlon, the record is one of which we have no reason to be ashamed. "We shall be called upon to respond to the charge in the next that the tariff, for which we are re sponsible, has raised prices. It the people listen to reasonable argument, it will be easy' to demonstrate that high prices proceed from an entirely different cause, and that the present tariff, being laigely a revision down ward, except with respect to and liquors, which are luxuries, cannot be charged, with having increased any prices.
