How the Tariff on Eggs Works.
One has only TO Watch the news
columns of the reform press To
find their editorial tariff arguments
punctured. Here is San example
from the Chicago Morning Ne,os of
February %. We give its original
heading:
BOOM OF THE AMERICAN HEN.
The Tariff Protects Her Infant Indus
tyy.-Canada selling Onsetets .
for q ,SOn6.
"Hens are more profitable than
hogs" said South Water street
commission merchant yesterday IN
that brief. emphatic way peculiar to
the man whose time is worth ready
cash. YES, SIR" he continued with
a rising reflection. I" and the farmers
of this country are just beginning to
find it out. Tney don't require much
tending and eggs nowadays are
pretty valuable things. Tine Was
when eggs used to go to the farmers
wife for pin money. 1t isn't 50 amy
longer they haye got to be an artI'
Gle of commerce and we count their
sale by millions of DOZENS.
"Over in Canada the hen has got
into pOliti,.s and the pO'itlci ans there
are qnarreling ab lut. who has done
most for the native bird. Our new
tariff has hattened out their egg
market pretty bad Y, and friend ol
mine who has been there lately tells
me that the restaurants in the big
towns are selling omelets for a song.
It wouldn't surprise me any it the
native hen would cause commotlon
among our Canuck neighbors. The
Canadians used to send about 10 OOO..
600 dozen eggs to New York every
year until we got a tariff of cents IA
dozen capped on TO the market price
of their eggs. Now they send but
very few and we have most of the
market to ourselves. Last year We
probably shipped cl ose on to 40 OOO.-
900 dozen E .st. This year with the
new tariff. we shall send another To-
OOO.OOO or 10000 600.
mo, it hasn't made any differ
ence in the price We got more last
season than we have been getting
lately. The only particular advant'
age l see is that we shall sell more
eggs and raise less hogs"
We do not expect ever to see a
more glowing tribute to the benetitl'
ent eff cts of the new tariff than this
from the coIums of our free-trade
contemporary.
