GAN NATIONs,

The people OF the United States
are not alone In bearing a burden
Of a tariff taxation. The Mexicans
are protected in what they have
to huy, and they pay a very good
tax for II too. Especially is this
true in the case Of cotton goods,
which are very extensively used
In tropical countries for clothing.
The Mexicans pay nearly four
prices for the clothes they wear.
So it Ia In Peru. A leading paper
there says that the tax on lard is
only for the benefit Of n few who
intend to deal IN bad lard. These
Spanish countries need no in.
struction In levying q tariff. They
learned that from the parent coun-
try, Spain, who has tried it long
enough to prove it's value. Coun.
tries that have ever been under
the Spanish influence are the far
therest behind in civilization.
These countries have held TO the
tariff continually. Why 10 IL that
they have not lead the world in
manufacture, IL u tariff Is such Q

THE TRADE OUTLOOK.

The reviews Of the weeks trade
show that the prospects of the
future are encouraging. Yet the
many recent aud Unexpected
failures keep mp a feeling Of un.
easiness. Many Of these hilures
no doubt are the ultimate result
Of using more borrowed capital
than is justified by the business.
Stringency in money p,stters 10
caused more by the want Of con.
fdence than the lack OF money.
This confidence IS being restored
slowly. The reports from the
west are good and show that the
usual amount Of winter business
il expected. The Importation Of
large quantities Of gold from
England proves that conditions
there are assuming a favorable
aspect and that the English con,
6dence in our securities is increas.

directly into the New York chan.
nels Of trade will in a short time

the country. There has been no
great and unusual destruction of
money recently. There IL none
locked up In the U. S. treasury
for the pensioners have taken care
Of that. There is more money
now Ia the country than there
ever was before. The U. 8. MINIS

Is locked mp in private vaulta aud
banks and will not be released un-

This confidence is being restored.

Uncle Jerry Rusk's agricultural
department sends ont the market
reports for corn and oats, aud
sends the farmers his congratula-
tons with 1t. The present corn
crop, he says, Ia worth more than
the last, and farmers will receive
more for II. Corn and oats are
higher that these cereals have
been since 1881. The average
price Of corn by the returns IL 30. I
cents, against 2S.3 cents in 1880;
oats 42.2 cents, against % cents
last year. Bnt unfortunately he
says, districts where the crop was
failure do not realize their pro.
portion of the advance IN average
value; and gives this bit Of rich
consolation: "The present average
shows that small crops are q cure
for low prices and u main factor In
making the prices and profits"
This is the Republican doctrine of
home market. They build a tariff
wall around the country TO pre-
vent the farmers from trading
with foreign countries where he
might find market at paying
prices for all the corn, oats and
wheat he can produce, and then
array such 1gures rs these TO
proves to him that the less corn
he raises, the more money he will
get for it. Last year the home
market was over supplied aud the
Western farmer couldn't get
enough for his corn to pay the
shipping expenses and he used 1t
for fuel. As a matter of course
the short crop Of corn this year
will realize more money at fifty
cents per bushel. After the corn.
burners had consumed enough
last year for fuel to reduce the
crop within the "law" Of the home
market "demands" the price of
corn advanced.
