Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Editorials That Won: Arguments That Live Before the beginning of hostilities in time of war it is customary for civilized people to give strangers not in sympathy with them safe conduct beyond the lines. The time is now at hand when the democratic party must grapple with the most gigantic wrong of the age. Its position as to the question of protective tariffs has been authoritatively pronounced by the national convention. The party, pledged no less by tradition and history and fundamental belief than by the platform adopted at Chicago in June, is for free trade. It is not for trade that is taxed a little in the interest of monopoly any more than it is for trade that staggers almost to destruction under taxes piled mountain high in the interest of a privileged class. It is for trade that is wholly and absolutely free from protective taxes large or small, for trade that is open to all on equal terms, and for trade that shall bear no tax burden at all save that which may be imposed for revenue. The existing tariff, the most monstrous abuse of the taxing power ever known to a free people, is not for revenue; it is for plunder. The government´s share of the imposition is incidental and comparatively insignificant. The chief aim of its authors was to reduce revenue and increase the profits of monopoly. Against this barbarous law which has robbed and degraded American labor and filled every honest man´s heart with a lively sense of the wrong done to him and the danger that threatens to his country, the democratic party is arrayed honestly and fearlessly, with no misgivings and with no equivocations. A tariff for revenue only is free trade - the only sort of free trade that the world has ever known. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
