which are unquesiionably more 10 he re-
lied upon as source of permanrn, wealth

have heen surprised al looking over the
statistics furnished by the predecessor oi
Mr.. Secretary Corwin. They show that
for the gear ending 30th June. lS49. the
imports of iion amounted 10 ss.l35.S75,
and the imports Of manufactures of iron
and steel to s5.42s. 1874. Thus il will be
seen that We annually deprive ourselves
Of the profit npon upwards -of $4,000.
600. and generously throw il into the
hands OF foreigners. Great Britain comes
in for about 81 100000 of these imports,
the country that charges us duty of a.
bout sl7.0Oo.000 per amman upon our
exports of tobacco. the home cost Of which
does not exceed s2.00O.000. Now that
The balance of trade is greatly against us,
The operation is simply This: We giue
oar gold fer their iron, with the lnll
knowledge lha, We have great deal more
nf the latter than the former. To use a
homely phrase. is mol this cut-ihroa'
operation! No one advocates high dn.
t,es !: but surely something should be
done. and done speedily, to lessen enor-
nous imports Of iron.
So much on metals. A word "a 10
wool. The imports of this article for the
year ending 30ih June. 1919, amounted
10 $l.l77.347; &c which the value Of a.
