development Of Manufacturing Industries
Under Higher Protective Duties.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The Mail and Ex-
press ST. Petersburg correspondence says
The journal Of the Ministry Of Finance re-
calls the fact that the general revision
which ended in tile prOmulgation OF the tar
in of 1869 had marked the passage OF the
ultra-prntective system to mat of modera te
protection. This change, at the time, IA
vored the importation of man ufactured ar
iicles, and the Ministry had been success
ivey forced to have recourse TO partial meas
UTes in order to protect Russian national
industries, which were in the first phase of
thelr development, against the competition
Of foreign industries. Outside these partial
measures all customs duties were increased
in block, about 30 per cent in 1877, when it
was rendered necessary TO pay the duties in
gnld coin or its value in paper currency; to
10 per cent in 1881, aud to another 10 TO 20
per cent on many articles in 1885. This
gradual return to an ultra-protective sys-
TEN has notably contributed to the devel-
6pment OF the manufacturing industries of
Russia, whose production rose from Sl08,-
$4,000 in 1867 to S15S, 600 in 1876 and
SZSl COG. 900 In 1888.
