The Match Trade.

The domestic match trade is suffering
from tho effects of foreign competition.
When the internal tax on matches was
removed the manufacturers were left
without adequate protection. This seems
like a singular statement, 5ut it ia never
theless true, the internal revenue tax
serving to discourage importations, be-
cause it compelled importers TO invest
large sums of money for stamps before
they could put their wares in the market.
The result was an increase of importa.
ton from 1924 worth in 1882 to up
wards of 100000 worth in 1883. A
further result is the closing for an in.
definite period Of the largest Philadel-
phia match ffetory, and scores of idle
mechanics. An appeal to congress for
higher duties will probably be Intellectual,
rs the match manuf scturers invitedpopu'
