JUDGE STEWART SPEAKS* ! 1
AM> l.IVES HIS OPINION OF HIGH
A?iD LOW TARIFF.
Our Representative’* Maiden Speech fn
the House*•Acquits Himself
Like an Old Stager
Washington, May 2 .—J udge
Stewart was tbo first member of lb© j
Georgia delegation to make a tariff
speech. He spoke tonight to a small
house, but was congratulated by all
democrats present. It was the Judge’s
maiden set speech, in the halls of
congress, but he acquitted himself
like an old stager.
Judge Stewart said, in brief, that
taxation was not a sentiment, but a
stubborn fact; that at no time in the
history of this government had the
necessity been greater tuau at pre
sent, that only sufficient revenue
should be collected for an economical
administration of the government.
He said that $80,000,000 was re
quired to discharge the pension roll
of this year; $40,000,000 to pay in-
terest on the public debt, and nearly j
$20,000,000 for current expenses,and |
that this vast sum ot money J has to i
, be raised , from , the . hard . , earnings of , | j
the people, either by direct taxation
or by adding to the cost of articles
of consumption; and, not withstand
ing all this, under the system of the
high protective tariff, a surplus of
DMT $65,000,000 is accumulating
annually to the treasury. The bus-
iness interests of the country will be
paralyzed if thta surplus is not re-
duced. It is a menace to good gov
ernment,and a temptation to wicked
and extravagant legislation'
He said it waa a well established j
rule , of , political economy, that iuxur |
ies weretho P ro P° r BUb i e#te of taxa
tion, and that taxes should bo laid on
the necessaries of life as light as pos
sible. He insisted that this whole
some rule had been adopted in con
nectioa with the Mills bill. That
whilo he was willing to vote for the
repeal of the tobacco tax, and while
not specially wedded to the
of internal revenue tax, yet he re
garded spirituous liquors as a luxury
that life e old be maintained without,
and prefer,**d that it should be taxed
rather than the necessities of of life,
He said it would be wise legisla-
tion to gi\e the people cheaper food
and cheaper clothing, rather than
cheap whisky. While it was claimed
that the internal revenue law was a
war tax, and therefore should be re
pealed, we should not lose sight
the fact that the effects of war are
still with us. That the war has cost
already more than six billion dollars,
and he doubted whether we were
half done paying its cost. He gave
an illnstration of the number and
amount of dutiable articles used in
an ordinary sized family in moderate
circumstances, *nd showed the
amount of duty under the present
law and wh.l the amount of duty un-
der Mills b i would be, and showed
that the d:.Terence would aiuwunt to
about one hundred dollars per 1 annum
in favor ol the Mills bill. ,
This illustration was so clear and
simple that it will b- easily under
stood by every owe, and many regard
it as a good point in favor of the
Mills bill. He said all legiri.tion
the , result , of . ,
was compromising con-
cessions and that tariff laws ocepiy
concerned concerned the the business business interests interests of ot
the entire country. That it required
the exercise of good judgement in
spired by feelings of patriotism, and
that we should realize in the
sense that we are American citizen?,
