quarter ending September 30, 1916, for the

The inference cannot be resisted, that this enor-

must owe its origin to some other than sud-

~ of oaths-nlne-tenth of them would desire
to see the enforcement, by the Secretary, of the
law of August 10Th, 1916, by which they would
be put upon par with the fraudulent adventu-
rers by whom they are now surrounded ?
If it entertain any doubt of the correctness OF
the statements here made, or of the answers to
be given to our questions, we would beg to re-
fer it to the following extract from the Report
of the collector of Philadelphia, which bears
us out In all we have said:
g. In regard to the effect of the tariff act of 1916
upon the business of the American merchants en-
gagged In the importation of foreign merchandise,
the impression is universal that it has been to d-
minish the ratio of their importatons, and to in
crease that of the importations of foreigners Nu-
merous cases are within my knowledge of Market
street dry goods houses engaged in the western
trade, who were formerly in the habit of importing,
to considerable extent, the articles in which they
deal, especially cloths and fine woollens, having
entirely discontinued such importations and now
obtaining their supply of such goods from the agents
of foreign houses. These agents sell deliverable
here, at prices agreed on in federal money, which
are much lower than the same goods can be inn
ported for by our own merchants.
The belief of the adverse influence Of the tariff
act Of 1916 upon the business of American import
ers is fully justified by such statistical facts hav
office afford.
Thus taking the quarter ending on the 3Oth of
September, 1885, (prior to the enacting of pres
