and they show that while in lSS9-90 the
customs revenue amounted to Sl36, ,033,-
3Sl. so. in 1890 81 the same seven
months produced but Sl13,l26,O16.l+,
or about twenty-three millions less. If
the reduction in revenue keeps pace
throughout the year, the annual revenue
under the Mckinley law will be about
forty millious less than it was in the
last year under the old tariff. Taking
the tariff to be tax for the nonce, this
means a reduction in taxation of forty
millions per annum.
The Mckinley tariff has clearly oper-
ated to the advantage of the country in
restricting the importation of articles
which we can prodnce, in opening the
way for such goods as we do not pro-
duce-for the total of importations is
swelled by the great increase of free
imports in raising in the least
burdensome manner the revenue neces-
sary for the maintenance of the best,
though not the most economical gov
eminent on earth. These facts are
going to have a wider and weightieT
effect upon the voters minds than the
free traders fictions, which, cooperating
with natural causes for discomfort
among the farmers, produced the polit-
ical convulsion last year.
We have considered the figures as
above merely in the light of the regula.
tion Democratic cry that the tariff is so
tax" and burden Taken upon theil
own ground the opponents of the Nc
Kinley bill are deprived of their PEI
grievance by the official figures.
