Effects of the Mckinley Law.

A specis! correspondent of tue Associ-

fully prepared statement OF the eff set of the
Mckinley tariff on the American trade
With Great Britain. Ia the fret three
months of the pre5sD6 year there was en- in-
crease OF British exports to the United
ststes over the exports 10 corresponding
$45 S2S ,724 TO over $4,000 From certain
places there has been falling off; from
others an increase. London shows u de-
crease of 81 100000 In the period named.
This was In spite OF large increases IL tin
plate, wool, hemp, fax, tow and chemicals.
Americans having up to July last bought
years supply OF tln- pate 10 advance, LIVER
pool exporters of tin-plate say they can
stand year OF slack trade. Tin-plate is
still sold freely, however. to the Standard
Oh Company. which pays little duty ON tin
plate. gssting drawback OF 80 per cent. On
the tin cans it exports. The English expect
the tariff on these articles to be reduced In
the near future.
at present the Welsh tin-plate works are
working TO ihsir full capacity, having plenty
of orders. SOrsp steel used to go FROM Scot
land to New England. but the Mckinley
tariff killed that supply of New England
rsw material. As to the effect on textiles,
confident opinion5 are expressed only In ro-
gpecs TO lhe cheaper grades Of goods, such
as the poor buy. The cheap grades ere

OF being hurt by our nav tariff. Leeds Enan

the cheap grade the poor bought.
According to Bradford manufacturers the effect
! of tho tariff upon exports of stuff goods, worsted
costings and seals and plushos to the States has
so far proved even more preiudicisl to the Brad
ford trado than was anticipated.
Dundee manufacturers of linen have boon forced
by the tariff to send to America higher priced
heaviest on domestic linens. Hon. John G. New,
United States consul general at London, says the
importation Of tin-plate into the United States
has doubled, and unmanufsctured woods have
largely increased. Hemp and flax with decreas-
ed duty have doubled, and drugs, also with de-
creased duty have nearly doubled, while the ex
ports of such goods as silks, fine worsted dress
goods fine wooden, camel and gost-hair goods have
fallen off.

Hard on the Bachelors

a bachelor In Europe is treated without
much mercy by the government. In Ger
many the RsiChstsg passed q law recently
compelling every bachelor who occupied an
official position under the German Empire
to contribute very considerable proportion
OF his salary to the doWries of the daughters
Of men who had died in the official service
Of the government.
The laws of France with respect to the
came class are equally onerous. In bis Last

France, for number OF very good reasons, "
he writes to our State Department, 'is pre-.
emlnently country of taxation. There Is q
ssx on life and q tax on death; there is a
tax on existence In general. Perhaps,
were there not 80 much taxation, and

In order to support the largest standing
army In the world, the blrthrate would
increase, and more children than the poorer

taxes Ia q question OF more than mOmentary
consideration.
1T bas bsen proposed, nevertheless, upon
a number OF occasions In the Chamber OF
Deputies to temper taxation In proportion
to the number OF children In the family OF
the tax payer. For example, the father OF
seveu children would be entirely exempt
from taxation /; the father OF six children
liable for one seventh OF the tax the father
Of Eve, two-se7enths; four, three.seventbs,
and 30 on in inverae proportion. On the
other hand, In order to counterbalanoe the
deficiency In the revenue caused by this sys-
tenn, tax would be levied upon bachelors,
increased year by gear In direct proportion
to their ngss, thus Offering q continual 10
