1t was not until some time after the
colonies became independent that there
were duties placed upon imports. From
1874 10 1890 inclusive the imports from
England exceeded the exports from
America in the sum Of So, ,372, ,S75, and
a clamOr arose for Protection.
The first tariff law passed was ap-
proved by the president July 4, 1899 It's
preamble recited: Whereas, il is neces-
sary for the support of the government,
the discharge of the debts of the United
States, and the encouragement of manu-
facturers. that duties be Laid on goods.
wares and merchandise imported"
From the year 1896, when the Protective
tariff was in full operation. to 1901. peri
Cd Of FIVE years, the exports Of this coun-
try exceeded the imports by 50 ,374, ,Sl6,
leaving England in debt to America. IN
1921, although the revenue was sufficient,
q new tariff was adopted with higher
duties In order 10 extend the benefits Of
Protection. This measure had the active
support Of Presidents Monroe, Jackson
and John Quincy Adams.
ia 1888, owing 10 the demands Of South
Carolina, then IN almost open rebellion,
a revised tariff law was passed, lowering
the duties about 20 per cent.
BY 1910 this tariff revision" had SO
diminished the revenue and 1nanufac-
lures were SO PROSTATE that the govern
ment and the people were almost in
bankruptcy. This caused a raising Of
customs duties 10 the protective point in
1912, under which trade revived and the
governments credit was preserved.
In 1876 a reduction was made in tariff
rates. and during tho next eleven years,
while these reduced rates were IN force,
the revenues fell short Of the expendi-
tures by 81, l,79O.s05 In 1850 the gov
ernment had 10 borrow 50, 200 900 TO
maintain It's credit.
The duties We're increased in March,
1861, and since then. while the war
tariff has been reduced TO natural pro
portions, the manufactures Of America
have flourished as never before.

CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES.

In the report of the action of the police
commissioners in Sundays EAGLE it was
stated that Sanitary Police Williams had
been dropped from the roll and that Off
Ger Aspey had been detailed to fill his
place 1t is due Mr. Williams and the
board to say that his service was dispensed
with only in the interest of economy to
taxpayers! his service having been entirely
acceptable to the board. This branch of
the service has beens in the hands of both
Aspey and Williams, but will now be dis
charged by Officer Aspey. 1t IS under
stood that this IS the beginning of gen
eral reduction of the force. The clerk of
commissioner of elections has also been
dropped from the roll, which will save to
the general fund $500 year. The com
missioners say other cities have set a good
good example in reducing expenses TO the
minimum and it certainly not too late for
Wichita TO draw the line on all unneces-
Sary expenses.

WICHITA INDUCEMENTS.
To Wholesalers, Warehousemen.a Manufaet-
urers and Others Desiring Bust
ness Location,

The EAGLE takes pleasure in calling the
attention Of the public generally 70 the in
ducements now offered by this city for the
location of wholesale houses, warehouses,
elevators, manufacturing establishments
and such other industries as so 10 make up
large commercial centers.
Within the short period OF fifteen years
Wichita has increased her population more
than ten times, expanding millions of dol
lars in buildings and improvements, Sc
curing four of the largest and most eX-
tensive systems of railway in the west,
(the Santa Fe, the Frisco, the Missouri
Pacific and the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific, which with their main lines and
branches connect with nearly every com
mercial and manufacturing center be
tween the Pacific coast, the great lakes
and the Gulf OF Mexico. This embraces
the richest agricultural country interme-
date, and with new extensions and new
lines viii control all the undeveloped coun-
try TO the south and west.
Our citizens donated nearly half mill
ion dollars to the two packing houses of
Messrs. bold & Sons and Francis Whit
taker * Sons for the purpose OF securing
LILlS VIII al SStdb4lSuctA tIdQC VI I'LL y
years experience, and millions of dollars
of capital. This was done that those who
contemplate coming west and establishing
such enterprises as mentioned might have
the benefit of a market before them with
out having 10 wait or contribute TO the
building of it.
Wichita Is situated in a remarkably fer
tile agricultural country, but which is only
partially developed. The climate is favor
able 10 the farmer the year around. The
soil IS capable of the highest state of cult
walton. 1t produces more diversified crops
than any other section. We have those
conveniences, comforts and necesSarieS
such as universities, colleges, churches,
free public schools, street cars, electric and
gas lighting. water works. sewerage,
paving, places of amusement, etc, which
make a place desirable 10 live in. Our iu-
habitants are generous, hospitable, liberal
and energetic.
The opportunity IS ripe TO take advantage
of these inducements and reap the benefits
which are so seldom offered in new coun
tries. The business man Will appreciate
these advantages, and they certainly are
