TARIFF TAXATION. Tariff or Import Duties, although levied upon the productions of other countries, are none the less a tax which must be borne by our own people, either by paying higher prices for what we buy, or by obtaining lower prices for what we sell. This tax we cannot impose upon other countries, nor should we seek to do so. The support of our own government should appeal to our national pride, and a wholesome self-re- spect cause us to avoid any effort or desire to foist it upon others.... 8 THE TARIFF SYSTEM This import tax when levied upon articles which are not produced in this country is of comparatively limited range in its effect upon prices, while the en- tire amount paid by the importer goes directly into the government treasury. When, however, this tax is levied upon such articles as we do produce, and be- cause they are produced in this country, the prices of all these articles, both domestic and foreign, are affected with this very important difference, that the increased prices of domestic goods entirely accrue to private interests, and not only afford no additional revenue to the government but actually diminish the amount it would otherwise receive.
