Foster, or the treasury department,
found pleasant surprise awaiting him
when he returned from Ohio The chief
of the bureau of statistics, although the
weather has been very not, had been
rafting around among his figures while
Secretary Foster was away, and was
able to give him some interesting in
formation about the effects of the Nc
Kinley tariff which even surpassed the
expectations which Secretary Foster had
formed as to the wonderful success Of
that measure and the remarkable pros
perity of the country under it.
'.It is wonderful showing" said Mr..
Foster refectively, as he leaned back in
his Office chair and looked again at the
totals and comparisons which Mr.. Brock
had laid before HING Il wonder what
the tariff reformers can say to this. 1t
Is worth more than volumes of asser-
tions based Oh theories. 1t shows that
the last congress, when it revised tho
tariff, did its work intelligently."
"What years are taken for purposes
of comparison asked the correspond
ent.
"The fiscal years ended June 80, 1890,
and June 80, 1892. During the entire
