A blunder in the tariff of 1888 has in
creased the importations of the single
article of clOaks from 100000 in 1883
to 100000 in 1884. In New York
and the vicininity is said there are 25,-
600 cloak makers out of work. Under
the present tariff, the duty on the cloth
for a cloak is $2.10, while the duty on
the cloak itself is only $1.SO. The i'm
porters found that they could get a
cloak made in Germany for twenty-five
cents, which cost them here about ST.
80 for making, and hence imported
the goods ready made.
