The Tariff Tax.
Tlffln (CM Advertiser.
The articles tyc have been pub
lishing on tbo Tariff question, we
are glad to learn, arc directing the
attention of the people to that im
portant subject, and they seem
anxious to get all the information
possible on the system of indirect
taxation which is proving such a
heavy burden upon them. Many
seem to have an idea that the Tariff
is a difficult and abstruse subject
to comprehend, but is seems to us
that it is no more difficult to un
derstand than many other ques
tions of equal importance.
One of the first lessons to learn
is as to the amount of tax each one
pays in this indirect way and liny
one can ascertain this very reodily
when the valuation and rates arc
given. All taxes paid to the
general government are indirect,
or, in other words, a tax or duty
on articles consumed, hut not col
lected immediately from the con
sumer. The Tariff tax on import
ed goods, is first collected at the
Custom House, Irom tho importer.
When be sells the goods to the
wholesale dealer, lie adds to the
first cost of the goods, the Tariff
tax he pays, and his profit on both
cost and tax. Tho wholesale deal
er does tho same when lie sells to
the retail dealer, nnd he in turn
charges the consumer with the
eost, lax and profit, when he sells
it, so that the man who uses and
consumes tho imported goods, pays
the cost, the tax, and the profits
added by the importer, wholesale
and retail dealers. Now, to find
wlint amount of Tariff tax each
person pays,; it is only necessary
to first figure out the value of the
goods purchased on which there is
a tariff duty, and then by multiply
ing that amount by the rate ofduty
lcticd the amount of tax appears
For instanco suppose a person
purchased during the year $200
worth of articles subject to the
Tariff duty. The average ■ rate is
53J per cent. Then by multiply
ing the $200 by that rate wo get
$97 00, the amount of tho tax
which is paid on the good purchas
ed.
That our readers may be able to
figure this tax far themselves, we
give below the Tnriff tnx levied on
each dollars worth that they con
sume, and in this way they will
be enabled to diesover just how
oncrou8;and 4 bnrdcnsomo the tax is
