NUMBER OF AMERIcAN TARIFFS.
In Colonel w. NJ Grosvenor's
new work, entitled "Does Protec-
tion Protect?" we have a succinct
statement Of the tariffs of the coun-
try since 1912. There have been
twenty four tariffs, twenty Of which
have been protective in their object
and four not protective. The
twenty protective tariffs lasted
less than twenty nine years. The
average duration Of these tariffs
was seventeen months and eight
days. The four non protective
tariffs lasted twenty four years, an
average duration of six years.
The longest period without
change of the tariff laws was ten
years and seven months, and the
next eight years and six months.
both under a non protective tariff.
The deduction from the above
facts is, that prote ctive tariffs pro-
duce frequent changes, which is
really unfsvorable to the varioos
interests that have sought protec-
tion. If men make Investments in
for instance, in view
of certain government action, a
sudden change in the law may ruin
their business

with contradictory rum rs as Ia
what was to be done in the Cox
case, in the Motley case, and
in the case of Lord Knows

so many rumors adoat az to
what it is going to do, that it
really does seem that it don't
know its own mind!
