1t will be seen that the monthly nv
erage in that year for the tire,
countries affected was nearly 1900, 90,
pounds.
The report shows that for the sever
months ending on January 81 this aver
age has fallen to "a little more thar
1000, 900 pounds.

The figures for January indicate that
the imports are now very small, the
value for that month having been less
than $50, 900, This is the effect of the
cXaction of a duty of 3 cents, so far rs
the quantity received from these coun-
tries is concerned.
The imposition of this duty has also
had the effect, we are informed, of in.
creaslng by several millions of dollars
annually the cost of coffee to consum-
ers in this country. The duty has in
creased the cost of the mild coffees
produced in these three countries.
which were formerly about one-sixth
OF our entire supply, and has largely
decreased the quantity imported. At
the same time, because of this increase
of cost, the producers of mild c%offees in
other countries not affected by the duty
have been enabled to exact higher prices
for their product when sold here. 1t
is estimated that for this reason the
cost of cotfces Of similar grades pro-
duced elsewhere has been increased to
the American consumer by at least IL
cents a pound. by his reciprocity
proclamation Mr.. Harrison thus i'm
posed a considerable tax upon the peo-
pie of the United States, not only with
respect to the coffces imported from
the three countries directly affected,
but also with respect to a large quanti-
ty Of the cotfecs that are on the fire.,
list.
The law says that after such r%etalia-
tory duties have been imposed by the
president they are to be exacted 'for
such time as he shall deem just" The
president who imposed these duties
has been succeeded by Mr.. Cleveland,
and it is Mr.. Cleveland whose opinion
as to the justice OF the continued ex-
action OF this tax is now to be conclu-
sive. The fact that he has called upon
the state department for information
as othe condition of negotiations with
the three countries affected shows that
he has this question under c~onsidera-
ton. iii shall appear that the retail
atory duty,o coffee has had no bene-
neral effect upon our export trade and
is a burden upon the people, the JUS
tice OF it will not be clearly estab-

this particular fact fresh in memory.

follows;
There is no doubt that our pension
list ought to be carefully revised and
very little doubt that Commissioner
Lochran will set himself to that task.

this strong language to our Washing

that it represents the general feeling
throughout the country;

cerned, and no mans pension is going TO

thing is certain, that every possible means

receiving, and these will be dropped.
