SUMMIT. N. J. 



tee and of course got no comfort from him. 

 He pointed out that the imports of glass 

 were less in 1905 than in 1896 and offered 

 this as a complete answer to them. The 

 American manufacturers have been driviug 

 imported goods out of the market pretty 

 generally and would have done U'Ore of it 

 if the tariff had not enabled them to main- 

 tain hiK'h prices. 



Our present purpose, however, is not to 

 discuss the merits of the case presented 

 by the florists or tlie sufficiency of the reply 

 of Congressman Payne. We direct atten- 

 tion at present to the evidence that the 

 American pa.vs the tax, that whatever ben- 

 efit the tariff affords to one Ameri- 

 can interest it affords at the expense of, 

 and throtigh burdens imposed upon, ether 

 interests and the general consuming pub- 

 lic. The tariff creates no values at all: it 

 simply takes a lot of small sums from a 

 great many people and combines them into 

 a few large sums for a few beneticiaries of 

 the system. — Philadelphia Record.
