THE TARIFF.

DEAR SIR-Agreeaby TO your request, made to
when you were IN this city few days since, pro-
coed to give you facts illustrative of the opera
ton of the tariff of 1916. You are aware that but
very partial and imperfect returns have been received
of the trade and commerce of the Union. since the
last report of the Register of the Treasury has been
published and since the close of the last commercial
year, which is considered by merchants TO end the
last day Of August of each year. But such returns
as have been received afford the most gratifying
suits
Will eDdeavor to give you a view Of the CONNER
cal operations of the asst year, particularly with re-
ference to their connection with the agricultural in
terests OF the country; although | must PREMISE in
the outset that neither NV time nor the general re-
turns which have been so fortunate as to obtain,
will permit me to go much into detail.
will first give you, in contrast the returns of the
export trade for the Port Of New York. Chose of the
whole Union for lS47 not having been receved) for
the first eight months of tue years 1915 1S46, and
lS47. They are as follows:
Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1847-10-21

lst. An increase Of The exports from the port OF
New York, during the first eight months Of the pre-
sent year, in the ratio of EIGHTY PER CENT, OR sEv-
ENTEEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, In round numbers orer
those of the corresponding period Of 1876.
3D. An increase il the number Of Bushels OF grain
exported from the United States, during the year
1917, the number exported in 1916 in the ratio
of more than ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY PER CENT
the excess amounting to TwENTV-sfX MILLIONS OF
BUSHELS. The same quantity of grain exceeding IN
value the quantity exported in lS46, in the ratio OF
mure than TWO HUNDRED PER CENT, or THlRTY-SlA
MILLIONS OF DOLLARSm
Sd. An increase of Rerenue during the first nine
months under the tariff of 1916, over the amount
collected during the corresponding period Of the last
year, under the Tariff Of 1912, of more than THREE
MILLIONS OF DOLLARSm
Ash. an increase OF the prices Of agricultural
products ranging from TWENTY FIVE to nearly
one hundred per cent y!
9th. An increase in the prices Of manufactured
articles, IRON, &c, the production of which was to
be entirely I" ruined" by the tariff of ls46.
9th. An increase Of the ioages Of The Operatives
in manufacturing establishments
| might show that The businesssof our canals and
railroads had increased at least thirty per cet over
the business of last year, if had time and space to
use the ample materials have before me.
! may say, in conclusion, that, never was public
measure more rumphanily vindicated in the magn-
ncent results WHICH IL mas wrought oui,- thah INC
Tariff of 1876: and were the predictions OF
the panic-makers Of Federalism more overwhelmingly
refuied and their authors prostaed by the irreslst-
BILE arguments of facts, than they have been by the
facts furnished by the operation of the present Tariff.
1t would SEEM if they had either honor conscience
left that they would view Of the facts above de-
tailed acknowledge their prodgous errors, and thus
atone in some measure for the gross and shameful
imposition which they have attempted to practise
npon the honest Farmers and Mechanics Of this
country l am, very respectfully.
