MARKET LOST TO FARMERS.
The Injury Accomplished by the Repeal
of Our Reciprocity Laws.

Inc INJURY accompanied Dy the kepeal
of Our Reciprocity Laws.
We think you may be interested in
the following facts, showing the effect
of the abrogation of the treaties between
this country and Cuba and Brazil. First
we will offer n comparative statement
Of the exports Of -four to Cuba. For the
year ending June 80, 1891, shortly aft
er the treaty had taken effect, we ex-
ported 242, 430 barrels of flour; for the
year ending June 30, 1892, 52S, 322
barrels; in the year ending June 30,
1898, 1888, 459 barrels; in the year end
ing June 30, 1894, S63, 061 barrels. Had
the relations brought about by the re-
ciprocal treaty continued, we certainly
would have shipped at least 1000, 900
barrels of flour to Cuba this year. You
will observe the steady increase in our
exports since this treaty was effected.
To Brazil we shipped for the year end.
ing June 80, 1894, 920, 500 barrels. an
increase of 100, 600 barrels over the pre-
vious year TO ether South American
countries, with which We have treaties,
we sent over 600, 900 barrels Of flour
last year, We are advised that all of
these countries will probably before the
1st of january abroSate these treaties.
In all Of these countries we have lost an
aggregate market for the present, with
no telling what the future would have
brought forth, Of nearly 5000, GEO bar
rels of flour. As you are aware, none of
these countries is wheat producing, and
is not possessed of a milling industry.
For this reason it cannot be said that
the market, by being lost to the Ameri-
can miller, is not lost to the American
farmer The market is lost to the farmer
just as completely as to the miller. The
flour that will be placed in these coun-
tries in the future will be placed there
by countries grinding the cheap Euro
pean and Indian wheats. Reduce 3, 0OO,-
900 barrels of flour to wheat, at AZ
bushels to the barrel, you have 10, 50O,-
900 bushels Of wheat, for which the
farmer has lost market. Perhaps YOU
have not noticed that the duty levied by
Spain on American -four going to Cuba is
70 cents higher than flour coming from
any other countries, showing a desire on
the part of Spain to discriminate against
American flour in favor Of the world.
The duty on American flour TO Cuba is
81. 75, while from all other countries it
Is 81. From Spain, Of course, il is free.
We get these figures Of exports from the
treasury department of the United
States, and there should be no error.

FOREIGN BEER.
How the Importation Injuries the Amer

How the Importation Injuries the Amer
lean Laborers-I Importers Profit.
The number of people employed iii the
breweries of the United States cannot
help but notice the loss that labor and
wages must suffer from the large amount
of foreign beer and other beverages
which are now being imported under the
Wilson bill. The so cent reduction per
keg OH beer is clear benefit to the i'm
porter, as the price to wholesale and re-
tail dealers is not changed thereby.
The following is from the New York
| Suns editorial of Oct. 3, 1894. Coming
from The Sun, it cannot be charged as
being Republican campaign document:
The importation of Spanish red wine
and German lager beer, especially of the
Bavarian variety, is increasing largely,
to the injury, it is claimed, Of the east
ern market for California red wine and
domestic beer. The increase in the inn
portation of Spanish wine $50, 900 gall
Ions more in 1893 than in 1892 and
probably 90, 900 more in 1894 than in
1889 is, however, infinitesimal when
compared with the figures of the Cali
fornia product, 20, 900, 900 gallons The
imports of foreign ale and beer, OH the
other hand, now amount to 1000, 900
gallons annually, besides $50, 600 gall
Ions in bottles.
Two causes seem likely to still further
enlarge the volume Of such importations
in the future. The first of these is the
new tariff on beer; the second is the
improvement in the appliances for
transport. Imported beer, whether Ba-
varian, Bohemian or Thuringian, is
shipped in kegs containing usually 10
gallons each. Under the Mckinley law
the tax on imported beer was 20 cents
q gallon. Under the Wilson bill it is Is
cents a gallon, so that the government
tax on keg of foreign beer instead of
being So. 20 is now So. 40, substantial
reduction in the interest of the importer
and dealer exclusively, as the retail
price, 10 cents glass, continues to be
the same to the consumer.
Heretofore the foreign beer import
ed by ocean steamers has been packed
in ice. During the voyage, especially If
it was stormy, the ice would often shift
or melt, with the result that a consider
able number of kegs III each consign-
ment have, by heating or chilling, been
rendered unfit for sale, and large loss
has resulted. There has recently been
fitted up on some of the German steam
ships refrigerating appliance, operated
by electricity, by which the kegs of beer
are kept from the beginning to the close
of the sea voyage mt uniform and un-
varying temperature. This reduces the
loss from waste to very small proper.
tions, and coupled with the reduction
of the tariff duty explains fully the
cause Of the present increase in the inn
portations.
