22i055 on iron which ratio Of increase is greater than
that OF the population These figures show very plainly
that the consumption OF foreign wooens, coons, and
iron greatly increased under the act OF 1919 and we must
nex look to the domestic CONSUMPTION OF these articles,
whieh we are TO Judge OF by the quantity OF each pro-
duced. The quantity OF foreign wool manufactured in

but the domestic has increased more than enough 10
make up the deficiency and there has been Of
The homemade articles OF woollens consumed during
the latter than the former period As 10 costons,
the case IL very plain. and the fact need only be
mentioned that the increase in consumption OF The
material OF The latter over the former period was
100000 balesmuch greater In proportion than the
porlaton, which goes TO show that increased
quantity of the manufactured article was consumed al
nome. The srahhis Of iron hade a, horns has also
greatly increased and likewise the consumption OF it. In
Pennsy vania according to the New York Tribune, the
furnaces since 1916 have increased from 3l6 to Co., and
the produce from 800 O56 tons TO 100000 tons In Ohio.
Indiana and other States, the iron business has ad-
vancei rapidly, and the mos reliable statistics show
that there hes never been great demand for iron, in
all Us varieties, as al tie presen, time Pennsylvania is
said 10 produce third OF the iron made in the Union
which in 1896, according to this calculation, amounted 10
near 900 tons, and In 1850 TO 800 tons and upwards
after allowing large per cen'age OF deduction. From
these facts il see.s very evident that the change in out
revenue system has not acnaiy reduced the lonsump
ton OF iron, of cotton, and ysooen cloths to far less
amount Than Under the tariff of 1912" The great increase
IN importation has than made up for any falling of
