LESSONS OF EXPERIENCE.


Low Tariffs Have Increased Production.
Commerce and Revenue.
The following is an extract from q
four-column article on taxation and ex-
pcnses by Edward Atkinson in the New
York Times of January 30:
The only difficulty in framing a tariff
will prove to be that no committee and
no congress will be able to imagine the
progress in productive energy that will
ensue from merely removing the petty
and obstructive taxes on food. on crude
materials and on various imports that
yield almost no revenue.
The most conclusive example that
can be found of the effect of a reduction
in the rates of duties upon imports Is
in the comparison Of the conditions Of
1914, when the relatively high tariff Of
1912 was in force. with the years ls47,
1851 and 1854. under the relatively low
tariff Of lS46-ls57. when "A yet lower
tariff went into effect, and 1860. when
the tariff was in full force After that
came the influence of war and from
1851 to 1879 all statistics are deprived
OF much value by the combined infiu-
ences of war and the depreciation OF

ner. Throughout all these expert
ments the lecturer kept up running
comment, and seemed to be entirely
unconcerned by the risks he appeared
To be running. lie admitted that when
he first passed the current through his
body he was somewhat alarmed. and he
also mentioned the astonishnent and
amazcment Of an emincntEnglish scient-
list To whom he made demonstration be-
fore submitting the results to the pub
lie. Speaking of his triumphs he said:
II have been two or three times in my
life rccompcnscd for the trouble have
gone TO. This was one OF my recon-
pcnscs. and hope to have many more.
You may say. perhaps, that there Is no
practical result in all this, but am ex-
pcrimenting now in that direction. and
have achieved more success than can
tell you of to night"
The next experiment was causing
two wires. ten or twelve feet long, to
phosphoresce over their entire length,
and this experiment. shown in another
phase. practically demonstrated the
marvellous success OF Tesla in producing

that given by the arc lamp,
or the pure white ovcrpowcring brill
fancy of the incandescent, but the glow
produced is a distinct light, good
enough to enable man to read by, al
though perhaps not quite comfortably.
Mr. Tesla explained that the expert.
ments in this direction were entirely
crude and in their infancy, and al
though there was nothing in the lee
ture at all bordering upon boasting
there was a great deal OF hope expressed
as to what might be achieved in tho
future Indeed. Mr.. Tesla promised
that in the early future he would pro
duce light Of this character on com
mercial basis, and no one who wit
messed the demonstrations and expert
ments last evening will be anxious t.
cross swords with the young inventor
or to dispute the possibility of hi
