As BALLAST.

Foreign barytes Is largely brought 10 the
nlted States Us ballast. SO that the ocean
distance gives no protection. On the con-
trarv. the cheap ocean transit enables Cor
man barytos 70 be laid down IN the north
ern seaboard markets OF the | nited States
at much less expense than the same mar
kets can be reached from Virginia.
Notwithstanding that the Mckinley
bill by making the duty ON manufactured
barytes S672 per ton decreased tor
e'gn importatious and largely increased
domestic production. the partial bar
ring out of the foreign article did
not have the effect of raising the
price III the United States, but on the
contrary. caused Il considerable lowering.
The cboapenng of price which the IN
creased home production and competition
brought about is about 81 per ton. equal
to say 40 per cent. on the selling price
prior to the Mckinley bill taking effect.
THE BESEFTrs.
While under the protecting shelter of
the act of 1890 the increased home produc-
ton and competition have brought lower
prices for barytes. and IN that way have
placed cheap paints within the reach Of
all, heuefting the farmers of the South
not only by the money earned from barry
.tes-miuing. but giving them also the ad-
vantage of low-priced paint material. il
follows that blow at the industry 10y adj
hitting the foreign article at the proposed
new rate OF duty must do injury IN two
WAYS. First. by the loss of the industry
and the living derived from it, and then
bv the higher price both tor barytes aud
the paints made from it. which will as
suredly follow when the American mines
have been Abandoned and Germany has
obtained control OF the trade.
There will be gladness IN the Hartz
mountains and sadness IN Virginia. Inc
invited food OF German barytes will carry
sorrow to many an humble, happy, sunny
southern home.
II is respectfully urged that no reduc-
ton be made IN the existing duties on
manufac tured and manufactured ba-
rvtes and II Is further respectfully urged
that If change DO made at all in the tariff

When the duty on manufactured barytes
