EFFECT OF TARIFF ON HoPS.

A correspondent in the New York Times
says Of the proposition TO increase the
duty on foreign hops from eight to fifteen
cents per pound that It Is not even pre-
tended by the ultra p~rotectionists that
this b necessary.
The war tariff on hops was Ave cents
per pound. "Since we have acquired o.
larger knowledge" Is Mr.. Benjamin But
terWOFth put II to the committee, 1--WE
have added three cents-over fifty per
cent. additional" This wasdone in 1876,
at the instance Of the late Congressman
WILDER. The immediate effect was to
oveFstimulate production, with the result
that whereas prices for the eleven years
previous to the increased duty averaged
iOrty-Ons cents per pound, the average
for the eleven years subsequent fell to
27k cents per pound.
For several years the New York hop
farmers have seen hard times. Their
crop was . total failure in 1885, and prices
have since ruled % low that the industry
has been almost pro6tless. This is mainly
due 10 oyer-production, for an average
crop Of hons in the United States repre-
sents surplus Of thirty per cent. above
the annual consumption. Hop growing
Il limited 10 about n dozen counties in
New York and TO the borders Of the Pa
ci6c slope. The industry Is decaying in
New York, while Il Is increasing rapidly
in California, Washington and Oregon.
State Senator CorreshalL, Of Oneida, in
his testimony before the vaysa and means
committee, put the cost Of raising hops
in New York at fifteen cents per pound,
and admitted that the crop was q very
~precarious one. As Q matter Of fact it is
perhaps the most risky crop the farmer
tries to raise except or the Pacific coast,
where hops are q sure crop. Congress-
man Hermann, Of OREGON, put the cost
in his state at eight to ten cents per
pound, and even this Is considered an
ovorostimate by experts. The average
yield per acre on the Pacific coast Is more
than double what IL IL in New York. The
industry has grown there from 1900
bales In 1880 10000 bales last year. In
New York 10000 bales represent an
average crop. The elamor for q higher
tariff Il confined almost entirely to the
county hop associations Of New York.
Congressman ButterwOrth pointed out
the absurdity Of trying to protect the
WORKOUT lands Of one section Of the coun-
Try against the fertile lands Of another
