The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1891-10-28
RESULTS TELL.

The year is ended, the figures are in
and the effect of the iniquitous McKin-
ley bill upon our foreign trade is fully
known. Calamity editors of " independ-
ent newspapers will please take in their
signs. This country has no further use
for their services than the Democratic
party of Massachusetts, has for the
speeches Of Roger @. Mills.
Here are some of the facts in nut
shell:
The value of imports for the year end
ing Sept. 30, 1891, was 1924, ,270, as
compared with $S13, ,469, ,391 for the year
ending Sept. 80, 1890. The increase is
l1,245, $40, and that, too, in face of the
enormous imports just previous to the
enforcement of the Mckinley law.
The value of the exports of domestic
merchandise for the year ending Sep
tember 30, 1891, was 1923, ,091 1856, rs
compared with $s60,177,115, for the
year ending September 30, 1890, an in
crease Of 500. .914, ,021.
The exports for this year We're the
largest in the history of the country.
They exceeded the exports of the COR
responding year of 1889 by S147 900 600.
They exceeded those of 1888 by over
$2J3, ,0O0 The extraordinary exports
of grain had then scarcely begun.
The total foreign trade for the year
ending Sept 30, 1891, was 81, ,747 .s06, 4O6,
and it exceeded the trade of the previous
year by S74, 10000.
The dutiable imports of merchandise
during the year ending Sept. 30, 1890,
were $j3i, ,209,7 ,720 or $500 per cent of
the whole imports. The dutiable i'm
ports for the year ending Sept. 30, 1891,
Were $421 1853, ,2l2, or 81. per cent. of the
whole imports.
The free imports during the year end
ing Sept. 30, 1890, were S279, ,259, ,671, or
50. 10 per cent. of the whole imports.
The free imports during the year ending
Sept. 80, 1891, Were $391 ,S52, ,0jS, or As. 10
per cent. of the whole imports
When the free trader draws the pic
ture of the effects Of the Mckinley bill
upon a ruined country, about the only
prosperous industry appears to be that of
the coffin maker. The figures give diff
ferent coioring to the picture, however,
and the people can no longer be de-
ceived. Actual results and not theo-
retic predictions tell the story that
stands in the long run.
