MR. VASt’E OS THE TARIFF.
Here ie eorao good tai iff food for
the laboring man to digest. It is
furnished by Senator Vance, it being
au extract from a letter ho publishes
iu the Baltimore Sun. Ho states
the tariff situation in such a plain
end simple manner that it can bo
easily understood by the masses of
the people;
“The chief inequality of a tariff
arises from the fact that it is a
tax upon consumption. Whilst it is
true that tnen do not consume alike
and equally, the deficeney in their
consumption is not nearly so great
as the difference in their wealth. If
there was a certain and well cstab
lished ratio between wealth and con
sumption, so that the greater the
one just so much greater were the
other, then consumption would be as
fair a measure for the imposition of
taxes as any other,and a& convenient.
But there is no such invariable pro
portion; not only so, but very fre
qnently the position is inverted, and
the man of least wealth pays largely
the most taxes. Duties upon food
and clothing will illustrate tbi>. A
common day laborer will cat and
drink as mnch and wear os much
clothing as a millionaire. The only
difference is that the millionaire cou
r tunes costlier food and raiment, and
therein pays more tnt; but the just
proportion of the nmount which
each should pay is by no means ob
served. They are miles aud miles
•part. To tax each one in propor
tion to his ability to pay would take
from the man whose income was
$00,000 per annum a hundred of
times as much ns would bo required
of the laborer whoso income the
year round was £0 per week. Esti
mating that such a man pays an
uually tariff’duties on what he con
mines at so low a figure as $10. it is
not in the capacity of any sane hu
uinn being to consume bo much of
taxable articles as to bring the
duties on them up to live thousand
times that sum. Practically, the
duties on consumption which such a
man ordinarily pays is notone tenth
of that amount. Social conditionsand
the variable dispositions of men
everywhere aggravate these incquali
ties. The man of moderate menus
aud a large family consumes vastly
mote than the rich man without a
family, or the miser. The whole in
come of the farmer may bo aud often
is expended in the consumption of 1
dutiable goods, whilst the mil
lionaire spends no more, and
his houses, lands, furniture,
horses, pinto and jewelry, works of
art. vehicles, stocks and bonds, and
securities of all sorts pay not one doi
lar to the support of the Government.
Wild horses, chained to his limbs and
struggling to burst forth, could not
make an honest man say that kind of
taxation is right and just. Vet such
is the operation of tariff’ taxes every
day. even with the most judicious ■
which can be levied, and whose only I
is Thero is nl j
aim proper revenue. j I
ways much endeavor to meet the ,
force of this consideration by talk of | I
discriminating in favor of thopeople ; |
of small means by imposing higher i
duties on luxuries than on the neccs ! |
saries of life. Even if this was fairiy |
‘
. ... it if, ... COUol , , not , Liy
ciODf’, UDCV ti®V6f It j
any possibility for remedy the the inequality j
of tho tax, reason already 1
stated, the rich lien matt can
not in the very nafutc of
things consunto as much moio
than the poor man as to make his lax
es greater in the proper proportion.
__
Id short, it ir impossible to attain to
abstract justice and equality in tax*
tion by a duty on consumption. In
our present laws it has not been at
tempted, though the talk of diserhni
nating against luxuries is in every
man’s mouth whenever the subject
is mentioned. They arc framed
with special reference neither to the
wants of the Government nor the
needs of the poople. but to the inter
esl of the manufacturers alone. In
reality tho bulk of whatever disciirni
nation there may be in the law is
against the necessities of life and in
favor of luxuries. A glance at the
Treasury reports of duties collected
will satisfy any one of this. In most
woolen goods the greater the cost
the.less tho duty. Iron and steel
goods pay four to five times as much
duty as gold and silver jewelry; com
men cotton goods twice as much as
fancy straw goods and furs; common
woolen goods pay 50 per cent more
than silks aud satins, while common
window glass is taxed six times more
than polished and silvered plate glass
ot the same size. A homely lllustra
tion of this species of iniquity may
be found in an ordinary whisky toddy.
The whisky which is the chief ingre
dient is taxed in the neighborhood
of 400 percent., the sugar which
sweetens it is taxed 82 per cent., and
the nutmeg which is grated upon it
for flavoring is free. That is a fair
sample of the discrimination of our
tariff against luxuries. Nutmegs
can not be grown in tho Lnited
States, therefore a tax ou nutmegs
would protect nobody, but would go
straight into tbo treasury; therefore
to that extent it obviates the neccssi
ty of taxing some article which is
made or grown in the l nited States;
therefore it stands in the way of some
manufacturer; therefore the duty on
nutmegs is repealed, and pro tanto,
it is placed on salt or trace-chains,
or children’s slates, or some other
item of prime necessity. Of ail the
wrongs contained in the existing tar
iff thero is not one more flagrant than
the admission of tropical luxuries
free of duty in order to force the
heavy taxation of the necessities of
life. There is no law, human or di
vine, under which it can be justified
either in policy or morals. It is use
less to all; it is cruelty to the poor.”
The Memphis Avalapche is evident
ly not smitten with tho charms of
Mrs. .James Brown Potter. Hear it
go ou; “Mrs. Potter’s ambition lias
been misdirected. The stage she se
lectcd was not of the right kind. The
dime museums of the country
have stages of the correc
proportions for a woman who has
no talent, plenty of money
and friends and position, and who
gives them all up to become an
actress. Doing bo, she at onco be
comes a freak." Anil the Avalanche
is right. It might also have added,
that of all ‘freaks 44 the stage struck
feminine "freak 41 is the most intol
erable.
