A few days ago the Union deemed il expedient
10 maintain that 1.-The importations of cotton
fabrics during the last commercial year are not
greater. in proportion To the population of the
country, than they were during the existence
of the tariff Of 1912" With this view, it cited
from the Treasury reports the value OF the cot
ton fabrics, Of all descriptions, imported during
the fiscal years ending with June, 1874 and
1915, being Sl3, 6il ,462 and $l3,S63,2 S2, re
spectively; and compared with that Of the year
ending June 30, lS49, being SIS, 754 SOL, sex
ceeding the impOristions Of the two years above
mentioned but about S2,OO0,O00, OF about in
the ratio of the increase of the population and
wealth of the country"
The Union is undoubtedly correct in taking
into account our increased population. No fair
comparison can be instituted without treating
that as an element. But what is il that the
Union essays to provel The object Of the tariff
of 1916 was 10 increase impOrtations. This
was its design as revenue measure. Ii was,
moreover. the aim of the trainers Of that tariff,
irrespective Of revenue. TO increase the exports
of our agricultural products, by facilitating the
introduction Of foreign manufactures in exchange
for them. We cannot sell unless we buy, was
their reasoning-the operations are inseparable.
We must take larger amount Of fabrics, OF we
cannot dispose Of any increase in our raw mate
rial. Their views prevailed. The rates Of du-
ties were adjusted in the manner they deemed
calculated TO promote these objects. The Union
is now endeavoring to show that the experiment
il failure; that. 50 far as cotton is concerned,
the coveted increase of importation has not been
obtained, and il thereby comedies Of course that
the foreign market for our agriculturists has not
been extended. We are willing TO admit that
il has succeeded in the demonstration.
The tariff Of lS46 has then proved Of no ad-
vantage 10 the cotton planter in the way il pro
posed-that Of enabling the foreign manufac.
turer 10 purchase more cotton, by securing u

II will hardly be denied that its effect has been
TO diminish the demand Of the domestic manu-.
facturers. The amount consumed by them has
been regularly diminishing for the past three
wears. IN ls47-'4S, the Northern manufac
turers took 53l 900 bales; in lS4S-'49 they
took $4,000; while in the year which is JUS
