A TARIFF THAT IS A TAX
Cougressuiau Adam M. Byrd of Mis
sissippi mailt' the following speech
iu live House of Representatives a
it w days ago aueiit the Payne tariff
bill now ponding parage in tic Sen
ate:
"Indeed, it seems that the mental
cc in ept ion of those .framing this bill
i too narrow to compass all the
rights of all the people. You have I
been besieged by hundreds of lobby
ists. moving like an army of scaven
gers upon this eapitol, since it was
announced that there would be a new
t; -riff bill. And each of them came
with the avowed purpose to more ful
ly enthrone his right to inflict a
heartless tax upon the Americau con
tainer: The lumber people, the steel
[? opto, the hat people, the shoe poo
lie, tile hide people, and every other
protected class down to the puny
peanut grafters have boon here, but
v. have boon unable to find a single
lobbyist from the great consuming
masses. It seems thov have been
a> corded no hearings, and, judging
from this bill, their rights have re
cieved no consideration. You have
offered them the same "sop" that
you have been dishing out for the
hist forty years. The farmer is told
tiiat he will have a duty on corn,
which will do him about as much
good as if you were to tax spring wa
tt r, for one is about as abundant in
this country as the other. And the
same old trick is to bo played on the
American laborer. He is again told
that his brawn and muscle is not to
le protected against the one and one
quarter million paupers coming an
m ally into this country to compete
for his job. and that the only protec
tion he is entitled to is such crumbs'
as may fall from the table of some
protected Dives. This bill Is an out
luge uiK>n the rights of every farmer,
t e-y laborer and every poor nian.l
and every consumer in this repuublic. I
It:. every line is but another link in
the cruel chain with -which they have
so loug been manacled by the trust.
\\ hy should their hard earnings be
t. ken to fill the coffers of the fav
vi rod few? They are not allowed to
I? rform even in the chorus of this
tnieviug drama."
Do ye imagine to reprove words,
and the speeches of one that is des-j
pirate, which are as the wind? ? Job,
Chapter t> ? -t>.
We don" like to say "1 told you J
so: "but we certainly thought that'
Theodore and K'-rmit Roosevelt had
a sick sp**ll coming after that long
firing of banquets.
