PROTECTION AND EXPORTS.
Wise Tariff Increases External Trade
and Stimulates Production,

"A Wise Tariff increases External Trade
and Emulate Production.
One of Mr.. Mills fancied strong points
in favor of his free trade measure was
that free imports promote exports, or to
state the case conversely. that protection
hindered exports. 1t has many times
been conclusively shown that the exports
of the United States have increased in a
greater ratio than those Of any other
country, and also that since 1879, when
Germany adopted the protection system,
that the exports of that nation increased
so enormously as to extort a jealous cry
from the English press, forcing it to adj
nit that it, was within the bounds of
probability that in the near future the ex-
ternal commerce Of the German empire
would exceed that of Great Britain. Now
we are told by The Gazette Russo that
the export trade of Russia is increasing
immensely. Here is its language:
However strange it may appear in the
midst Of all complaints about the depres-
sion of Russian trade, it is, nevertheless,
o fact that in 1887 Russia exported more
goods to foreign countries than eyer be-
fore during her history. The amount of
42,627, 900 tchetverts of cereals nearly
equals the abnormal figures Of 40, 800, 900
tchetverts for 1873, which was the result
of a blockade for two years. More linen,
more linseed and hempseed, and more
timber has been exported in 1887 than
ever before. The expectation Of petro-
leum has made great advances, increasing
every year. 1t has risen now to the figure
of $1,000, 900 pounds. The Russian Pc
troleum has succeeded at last in conquer
Ing thesEuropean markets"
1t would appear from this that protec-
ton not only protects, but it actually in
crsases external trade by stimulating pro-
duction to such an extent that there is
more than enough for home consumption.
In England, under free trade, the reverse
condition is noted. English agriculture,
which q few years ago was n of the
great sources Of the prosperity Of that
country, has been ruined, and the produc-
ton has fallen off SO generally that Eng
land, In case of a foreign war, could be
promptly starved into submission, as she
does not begin to raise enough food to
subsist her population.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

How ! Reduced DUTY reduced sheep.

The Philadelphia Press, in answering q
subscriber who wants to know what effect
the tariff law passed by congress a few
years ago reducing the duty on wool had
on the sheep industry Of the country,
says:
"The tariff of 1888 not only reduced the
duties on wool, but by reducing the rates
wooden goods and changing the CLASH
tication on worsted it stimulated imports,
30 that the market for home wool was cut
both ways, directly and indirectly. The
number of sheep In the United States has
decreased under this tariff from so, 600, 900
in 1885 to 43, 200, 900 in 1888, while on tue
regular advance in progress before it
should have reached "a, 100000 The
sheep In this country belong to 100000
flock masters, employing 1000, 900 men,
with an invested capital Of $500,000, 600.
The wool clip of the United States is the
sixth largest In tho world, and under the
skill expended In developing u wool in
dustry the average weight of the Ameri-
can fleece has advanced from 1.s5 pounds
In 1910 to 900 pounds in 1870 and to 8
pounds In 1887. The duty protecting this
industry amounts to s cents per head.

Projection and the Trusts.

stThey are forming a lumber trust;
therefore abolish the tariff On lumber"
shrieks q Mills bill advocate. Well, why
not abolish the tariff on kerosene oil and
coffee and thus kill off the oil and coffee
trustsf But there isn't any tariff on oil
or coffee, some free trader remarks. How
does it happen, then. that these products
are controlled by 'trustsP We thought it
was the tariff that caused the trusts, or
made them possible. There will be trusts,
it appears. whether there is any tariff or
not; , nhs whole salt product ,S1s OF, Of Europe ss.sop is !;
a lumber trust DOES not depend tnpon the
tariff. Unless trusts are prohibited,
there is likely to be a lumber trust
whether there is any tariff or not. Abol-
ishing the tariff would create the strong
est possibleincentive for q trust.-Cleve-
land Leader.

which was 8 lightly below the corres-
ponding period in 1886, but considerably
in excess of previous years. There'is no
likelihood that last years total for Sep
TENDER and October will be reached.
The past week BIAS not changed the
situation essentially with reference to
the corn crop. As the crop now stands
severe frosts in the near future would
produce serious injuries not SO much 10
the curtailmept of the production as in
the impairment of the quality, and
enlarging the proportion of unmerchsn-
table grain. 1t is abundantly plain that
tie result is to be less favorable than
generally expected as to quantity. The
production OF corn is more likely TO be
less than to exceed 400 900, 900 bushels.

A TALE WITH A MORAL
Smith Proposed TO Guard His Corn ns
We Should American Industries.

John Smith had q board fence around
his corn field to keep out his neighbor
Browns cows. Mr.. Brown didn't like
this Tense at all. His pastures were lean
and dry, and he thought it would be a
fine thing If his COWS could get into MI.
Smiths field. Accordingly he set to
work with Mr.. Smiths hired man and
persuaded him by arguments and brides
to pull down part of the fence.
One day when Mr.. Smith was looking
over his farm he found the man at work
removing some of the boards from the
fence.
What are you doing therel" demanded
Mr.. Smith.
I'm reforming the fence, sorr-there's
a dale too much of it for the good of the
corn
"But you'll let In Browns cows, and
they'll trample down the whole field"
urged Mr. Smith.
"Bedad, 1t won't be SO bad as that,
SORT. I'm only taking down 15 or 20 per
cent. of the fence. There's enough of it
left to protect the corn, sorr. I'm only re-
juicing the average of the fence. Sure,
it's there still"
TT is enough to say that Mr.. Smith
didn't see the point, and ordered the fence
and it's protection restored.-Springfeiha
