1t will be remembered that the Nc
Kinley tariff increased the duties on
glassware from 40 and As per cent to
an uniform rate of 50 per cent, and at
the same time imposed this latter duty
on the cost of packages and charges,
adding about 10 per cent more to the
80 per cent.
Immediately after the passage of the
Mckinley tariff the manufacturers of
glassware met and formed trust to
take advantage of the increased duties
and raise prices.
While the glassware trust was get
ting in its work the crockerv trust cut
down wages and increased prices
Does not this show for whom the Nc.
Kinley tariff law was enacted; and
does it not also show how those trusts
which demanded its enactment have
taken full advantage of it?

WHAT IT co. s.
What the Tariff on Tin Plate Costs Il
COnsumer.

What the Tariff on Tin Plate Costs the
Consumer.
The failure Of the crops abroad and
the heavy demand for our breadstuffs
resulting from it have greatly in
creased our exports of these products.
Coming as this does directly after the
imposition of higher duties by the Nc
Kinley tariff the supporters OF this
measure have renewed thef 4 asser-
tions that high tariffs do not restrict
foreign trade. They have even gone
so far as to put forth the claim that
the Mckinley tariff has caused the in
crease in our export trade. The alb
surdity of such claim is too apparent
to need moments attention.
The effects of European tariffs upon
commerce furnishes undoubted proof
of how high duties restrict imports and
exports Those nations which impose
the least restrictions have the greatest
commerce. To show this we have
divided the leading European countries
into the following classes according to
the average rate of duty which they
impose upon imports. The first class
includes those countries which impose
less than five per cent upon the whole
amount dutiable. The states belong
ing to this class are Belgium, the
Netherlands Switzerland and the
limited Kingdom. Their coqbined
rate is 4.23 per cent
The second class consists Of countries
levying duties Of between five aai ten
per cent and includes Austria, Hun
gary, France and Germany. The COM
bined rate OF these states averages 7. S5
per cent of their combined imports.
The third class comprises the countries
which levy more than ten per cent.
duty on imports. These states are Nor
way, Sweien, Portugal, Italy aud Rus
sia. Their combined rate averages 26. 10
per cent on their wheat imports.
The combined imports of all the
states embraced in these three classes
amount to s., ,5Ss, 200, 900 and their COM
bined population to SO7, 900, 900 souls.
The following table shows, in con-
densed form, the percentage of total
population and imports belonging to
each class. 1t also shows for each class
the imports per capita and the average
rate of duty levied on import:

EUROPEAN TARIFFS,
What IL a Fair and Moderate Protecsf,
Tarif-Tarifis of Nations Compared.

What IL a Fair and Moderate ProtecAf
TariR-Tarifs OF Nations Compared.
One OF the stock arguments of the
advocates Of high tariff is the asser-
hon that the leading nations of Europe
have discarded the policy of freedom of
trade and adopted that of high protec-
ton. In proving their assertions they
refer to France and Germany, which
nations they claim have tried free
trade, and have found it detrimental to
their interests; in short, that this
change on the part of France and
Germany affords the highest possible
Endorsement of our present high tariff
policy.
This assertion has so seldom been
challenged that many who have no
means Of testing its validity have come
to regard it as true. 1t is about time,
therefore, that the truth should be
known. The following table shows
for each country the population, the
gross imports, both free and dutiable,
the receipts of the customs revenues
and the ratio Of receipts to imports;

Could any evidence more conclusively
demonstrate the disastrous effects of
high tariffs upon international trade.
What but their free system of COM
merce can account for the fact that
England, Belgium, Switzerland and the
Netherlands, with only 1917 per cent.
OF the population, control over one-half
of the total import trade of Europe?
Do not these figures completely over
throw the assertion that high tariffs
do not injuriously affect trade. What
an answer is this to that policy which
aims to restrict and pervert the de-
velopment of our unparalleled natural
