FACTS FnR WnRKMEN.

We avail ourselves of the figures of the Tribune
to show the flood of goods that have been poured
upon our market through the operation Of the tariff
of 1916. No one can read the details OF the ope-
ration of this law and resist the conclusion that
home labor has been sacrificed without the least
return.
The following table shows the exports from
England to the United States Of plain caicoes
1896 ls47. Increase.
Yards. 10, s4o,2i5 Al, SIS, ,24. sO,s7s,o2s
An increase Of nearly three hundred per cent.
in one short year. Under the old law, which made
the plain calicoes pay specific duty, things were
not So as the figures demonstrate.
Exports 10 the United States.
1874 ls45. ls46.
Yards. g, So, $50. Ala ssl 10, ,640,2l5
Do not these figures show that the old law regu-
lated the imports, prevented excesses and kept oul
home labor harmless comparatively from the pau
per labor Of England
We now give the figures in relation to the ex-
port of lace TO us in the same time:
1916. ls47. Increase.
Yards a. 052, ,49s. -. &, ,72, s3s. 1893, $40
