an examination of these figures will show
that the entire importalions OF the single year
under the present law, are nearly eleven mill
ions less than the inportations of 1872, which
was very much the lowest Of the six years :;
and almost ssventy-three millions below the
inportations of 1889, the highest of those
years. The changes in the character of the
importations will still more clearly exhibit the
influence of this law upon the trade. Under
the compromise act, the class of free articles
was very large; and during the whole period
OF Tie operation Of that law, about one half
OF the entire lmportations, as an average, were
free of duty. That will be remarked as to
five of the six years, by reference 10 the fig
ures given above-the advantage being about
seven millions on the side Of the free goods
When to this astonishing change in the
character Of the imports. in single year, is
added the fact that, of the 40 millions of free
imports in 1913, about "a millions consisted
of gold and silver coins and bullion alone, the
influence of the law upon the trade of the
country cannot fail TO be seen. The exchan-
ges of commerce have been crippled to an
unexampled extent, and onr produce sent
abroad for market must be sold for what it
will bring in coin, as the merchant dare not
exchange it for merchandise, and encounter
our duties.

WOOL.

In relation TO wool Mr.. Wright is for redu-
cling the tariff to thirty per cent for fear the
wool growers will be so much stimulated in
the production of the article as to overstock
the market. This free trade Statesman did
not stop to consider that it would be quite as
well when it come to that point to have the
market glutted by home competition as by
the importa,ions of foreign wool, which must
result in double depression of price. How
will the farmers like this idea of Mr.. Wright
when under the present tariff wool has risen
from 81 to 40 cents during the year, and buy
ers are at their doors to purchase their wool
for cash. Such are the practical results of
protection. Should the present tariff contin-
ne, the present prices will continue for years,
but down with the tariff to Silas Wrights
standard and in short time foreign importa-
tons will reduce il to "a.

wool-grower such fair and reasonable pro-
lection as our necessities for revenue would
warrant-say 30 per cent; aud was not that

thought this degree of protection would bet

than higher, or more prohibitory duty; be-
cause it would be stable, the revenue being
necessary; and because, admitting moder,

tage of $50 in the SlOO, it would not invite

bring upon them, and the consequent ex-

growers would be satisfied with this degree of
protection, if the taxes upon the articles they
were compelled TO purchase and consume
were proportionately reduced.
