THE MKINLEY BILL.
Ito Eject on Trade and Revenue
Omoially Stated.


The most interesting and important
statement that has come from the bu-
reau ofstatistics recently was completed
on September 1. It's the official array
Of non-partisan figures by Chief Stats
.tician S. G. Brock, showing the effects
of the new tariff. The bearings upon
customs, trade and prices are set forth
comprehensively. These figures are
full of surprises, They set at naught

April l with the corresponding period Of the
prior year the reduction In customs receipts

During the ten months since the enact

imports of merchandise was S6g7 ,25l,3IO, AZ
Increase OF 81 1922, 1871 R~scompared with the
corresponding ten Wopths Of the prior year
when the value was st76,s29, 2U9. Tho value
Of merchandise imported free of duty dur
ing the ten months ending July1, 1891, was
1929, S36,77i, or l7.23 per cent. Of the total i'm
ports during that period. while during the
corresponding ten months Of the prior year
-aRdsr-tlls- old-tarin le-yalnA-of the mer-
chandlse imported free OF duty was s23l,563.-
1903, or 3L09 per cent. Of the total imports Of
merchandise, which was much the largest
amount in the value OF imports in the his
tory Of our government.
The imports OF free merchandise for ten
months ending July, 1881, were la value
1884, s,l45 greater than the total free mer.
chandise imported during the entire fiscal
year Of 1880, and 72,si9,G9G greater than the
same imports OF 1851, which two years show
the largest Imports FREQ at duty in the his

During the corresponding four months of
1890 the value of the Imports was sos. 03i, i2d,
of which SO, 1856, i52, or only s2.6s per cent was
free. Here, then, is an Increase In the value
of free merchandise for the four months I'M
der the new tariff of sGs, 773,9sG, an increase
of rs So in the percentage. The free Imports
are OF such articles MS are largely not pro-
duced in this country, and which enter into
the daily consumption OF the people. Fur-
thermore. during each Of the fiscal years,
1859 and 1890, the duty collected upon our
Imports was IS 81 per capita of the popula-
tlon of the United States, II the duties for
the twelve months OF 1891 should continue as
they have during tie four months since

CAPTAIN CURTIS TAKES THE SWORD.
Had Not Captain DOmer Been Awarded One
Like 1t He Would Have Given Him Ills.

Last evening the Indianapolis Light Ar
York store, where he was presented with
the gold-mounted sword awarded him on
his having more votes han any of his COM
petitors in the recent contest connected
with the military e~ncampment. The
presentation was made by Miss
Ella Golding, who complimented
the Captain on his popularity
and the young artillerists on the earnest
manner in which they had worked for the
sword for him. The Captain, replying, re-
ferred to the many past victories of his
company, and said it had been his wish
that all the contests during the encamp
ment should be confined to the visiting
companies. When he learned that his
friends were working in his interest for
this sword he decided that. in the event of
his being the winner. he would turn ii over
to the next highest contestant. This he
would have done had he not been
informed that the New York
store management had decided TO
presents Captain Domer. of the National
Fencibles, with a similar sword. Under
these circumstances and no other would he
have consented to receive the sword. So,
IN consideration of the enthusiasm of his
friends and the honor of his com Dany, he
thought he ought to accept the handsome
present.
Captain Curtis. In conclusion, thanked
the people of indianapolis for the generous
manner in which they had come forward
and made this the most successful encamp-
ment that had ever beeu held in the coun-
try. Following the uresentatian three
cheers for the Captain and the Indianapolis
Light Artillery were given.
