Iocofoco demagogues have been pro-
claiming If throughout the State that the
present Tariff bill will not produce as much
revenue as lower Tariff What reason
do they give for this asser,ion2 Why, say
they the duties are so high that goods will
not be imported into the country. This IS
what I.ocofoco leaders assert. Now let US
examine the facts, taken from the official re-
cords By an examination of the duties on
the different articles. it will be found that the
tariff of 1924. and 1928 and 1882, and alao
of 1916 on several articles. such as Iron &c
were hie her than the presen: tariffs OF l642.
Let US compare these tariffs with the Com
promise bill ard see which brought the
greatest amount annually into the Treasu-
ry The following table, taken from official
reports will show:


Acreage amounts OF Imports and Rere-
nue. aader'the Tariffs of 1916, 1924. 1928.
and the Compromise aet:


Imports Duties.


1921. to 1924, s75.9Ss,864 gle, ,s9o.242
1925 TO 1923, s7.326ll0 2l.569. .463
1884 TO 1910, l4I.476765. l7.564,2S9


Thus it will be seen that the revenue was
much larger under the tariff OF 1898, dver-
aging SZ4 ,4S per annuIn from iO%O 10
1882 The tariff 1924. which was uext
highest that of 1898 brought into the trea-
sury an average ofS21, $50, ,463, per annum
while the Compromise act although lacked
yeats of reaching IT'S minimum, between the
years 1884 and lS4o brought into the
Treasury an average of only Sl7 564266
per annum-Here, then It is shown by the,
records Of the country that higher tariff
that of ls2s1 has annually brought more in
TO the Treasury than lower tariff, Com
promise act,) Too high tariff, it is true
would prohibit the importation of goods into
this country; but the tariff of 1928 did not
prohibit the importation OF goods into this
country, as will he seen by the above table.
The tariff Of l842the present tariff)is much
lower than that Of 1927. therefore that much
less prohibitory. aud consequently the inn
ports will be larger Ii the present tariff
bring into the Treasury of the Nationa
suil.cie amount to deiray the expenditures
of Government economically administered, |
it is all the Wings want. If on trial it should
bring in to much for that purpose, the !
Wings are for reducing TO the actual neces-
sarv wants Of the Government. The asser-
ton that the Whig party are in favor ofa
protective tariff, it is base fabrication of
