The Tariff.
at is interesting to know that durin
the year ending Sept. 1891, our import
OF merchandise amounted to $S24 7l5
27v, an increase OF more $ll 900, ,OO
+, over the value OF the imports ot corr,
ponding months Of the preceding year,
IL believe that a few will dls,ut
the fact that the tariff act of the 5l'
congress is favorable i'll its average eff,
on the prices of articles entering int
;, common use.
There is certainly nothing in the CO
dition OF our people of anv class to su
gcst that the existing tariff revenue le
islatipn bears depressingly on the peop
z 1t cannot be denied that all Il
conditions of prosperity and Of gener
contentment are present in a larger
gree than ever before in our history, al
that, too. just when il was prophesi,
that they would be in the worst state.
II think there are conclusive evidenc
that the new tariff has created sever
-s great industries which will within fe
years give employment to several hu
dred thousand American workingm
z. and women. In view of the somewh
- overcrowded condition of the labor mt
ket Of the United States, every patriot
citizen should rejoice at such a result.
Finances.
On the financial question the preside
says: Upon this subject, as upon t
