A REVENUE tariff such as is advocated
by our political opponents is always
paid by the consumer. There is no ex-
ception anywhere. A tariff levied for
revenue. and revenue only. is always
borne by the consuming nation import

and is so wherever revenue tariffs are
enforced. That may be so primarily
with protective tariff, bat 1t ceases to
be so. the very moment we are capable of
successfully manufacturing among our

A PRACTICAL illustration of the opera
tions of the Mckinley tariff law is to be
found in the decreasing importations of
wooden manufactures and worSted goods
since it went into effect For the first
three months of 1890, under the o d law,
the importations of wooden manufactures
were 1,471.400 yards, as against 1 100,
100 yards for the first three months of
1891, under the new law. For the same
period in 1890 the importation of worsted
goods was 16. 954, 800 yards as against
1896, 800 yards this year. The conntry's
consumption of these goods is certainly
not less, but greater, this year than last.
Increasing population alone would haze
the effect of making larger consumption.
These figures show as no argument can
show the benefit of the Mckinley bill to
the wage-earners of the United States.

The British embassy at Rome has
made an interesting report on the for
eign trade OF Italy. From free trade
standpoint the report indicates very
bad state of affairs. Both exports and
imports show very large decrease
The exports of 1890 were SIS, 900, 900 less
than In 1889, and the imports fell off In
an almost equal degree. AS Italy has
recently established protective tariff,
here was good opportunity for the
British embassy to furnish a powerful
Anglo Mugwump free trade essay, show
ing how Italy had thrown away the mar
kets of the world. But no, the British
official, Mr.. Deering, who compiled the
report, candidly admits that, ain spite OF
these ominous figures, there are certain
facts connected with them which are not
unfavorable for the national prosperity.
One of the main items of decrease in
imports is grain, which is due to boun-
tiful harvest; SO that the value OF the
cereals imported in 1890 was G1, 800, 900
less than In 1889. A decrease in the inn
port of cotton and woven goods is due to
increased activity In italian weaving
establishments, marked by increasing
imports of raw cotton. The imports
of coal are also increasing. SINH
larry decreases in the import of
silk goods and in the export of
raw silk indicate an increasing domestic
silk business" Indeed, Mr.. Dering re-
CARDS the customs returns as showing
that these textile industries in Italy are
not in depressed condition, and this
view is corroborated by the large i'm
ports of chemical products and dyeing
machinery. As to the decrease in ex-
ports. it is largely accounted for by in
creased ability to consume, and conse-
quently increased consumption at home.
We have before called attention to
the circumstance that Italy, notwith-
standing that the Government is on the
verge of financial bankruptcy, is grow
ing richer as nation; that wages,
wealth and comfort are increasing; and
all this in the face of serious decline in
foreign trade The facts simply go to
prove that, while foreign trade Is to be
desired and acquired, and can be an i'm
portant factor in national welfare, the
chief and primary factor in such welfare
is the control by nation of its home
trade. Italy is getting along better with
a loss of foreign trade, because Italy
is selling to and buying from Italy, and
| is sustaining in Italy the industries that
! formerly did their manufacturing for the
| Italian market in France and England. -

THERE is an impression-a very gen.
eral impression-th the protective tar
if originated with the manufacturers
of the United States; that protective
tariffs were inaugurated and are main
tanned by the manufacturers of the
United States. The exact reverse is
true In American history. The men who
made the first great protective tariff law,
signed by George Washington on the
Fourth of July, 1889, were the farmers
of the United States. That first great
Congress was occupied by planters and
farmers, with few professional men
here and there. but largely in the NIL
nority; and the men who made that tariff
were either the planters and farmers
themselves or they were the representa-
tiyes of an agricultural constituency.
And they made it for q purpose. They
made it with their eyes wide open, look
ing to the future. 1t was the second
law passed by the American Congress
and signed by Washington on that day
memorable In American history. The
l men who made it had the courage Of
putting In the body of the bill exactly
what they meant. They declared that
they were making the tariff bill for two
purposes. First, to raise revenue to
conduct the infant Government, and sec
ondly, to encourage manufactures.
ALI agree = whether Democrats or
Republicans that the tariff Is the wisest
and best mode by which to raise the
great bulk OF the revenue required to
conduct our Governments only differing
as to the principle upon which that
tariff shall be levied, whether on the
English system for the purpose OF reye-
nue. only, or for the additional purpose
or giving encouragement to our own In
dustries and our own enterprises and
employment to our own labor. And, as
we have to resort to tariffs, as we must
/ tax foreign products whether we be
/ Democrats or whether we be Repnbli-
cans to keep the wheels OF government
