FREAKS OF TRADE.

The st. Louis Republican calls atten-
ton to very queer freak of trade that
was witnessed during the early months
OF this year, being the importation of
pot8toes-what are known as Irish DO
tatoes-from Europe into the United
States. Food is usually SO dear in
Europe and so cheap in this country
that we have come to think it an infiexi-
bic law of trade that provisions of all
kinds should go from west to east; but
all last winter we were importing pota-
toes from Great Britain, Germany and
France for our own tables. During
the three months of January, Febru-
ary and March, We brought in from
abroad l,821,492 bushels, valued
at over 100000, and We paid on them
IN duties at 10 per cent. over S272,00O-
making the whole cost nearly S1,000,000.
They were very cheap potatoes at this
rate, sbeing a little over 80 cents a
bushel; and it Twill be seen that the i'm
porters must have made q good round
profit on their unusual venture. These
potatoes were distributed all over the
country. They were brought by the car
load to Texas-to Galveston, Houston,
Dallas, etc, and we saw them on sale
here in Waco-Irish potatoes raised in
Scotland. The importer could pay ocean
freight to New York, railroad freight
to Texas and elsewhere, Is per cent
customs duties and then put these
foreign tubers on the market, in compt-
tition with American potatoes, and make
a profit. With free trade and no duty
Of fifteen per cent. to pay on them, the
American potato grower must have re-
duced his price fifteen per cent, or seen
the market monopolized by the foreign
products. Our tariff has inequalities
and many of the high import duties
ought to be materially reduced, but the
manufacturer is not the only one who is
benefited by the protective feature Of
the tariff. Growers of rice, sugar, to-
bacco, hemp and other agricultural pro-
ducts are all interested. As for the
wool-grower-which is subject Of Pc
culiar Importance to Tex8s-free trade
would force him to sell his hocks for
mutton as speedily as possible,
