James G. Blaine, in his Twenty Years
of Congress" says

The Wing victory of 1SiS was not suffi-
GENTLY decisive to warrant any attempt,
even had there been desire, to change the
tariff (of 1S46). General Taylor had been
elected without subscribing to a platform.
Moreover, the tariff of 1916 was yield
ing abundant revenue, and the business OF
the country was in fiourlshing conditloh
at the time his administration was organ
lied. The principles embodied III the
tariff of 1916 seemed. for the time, TO DE
entirely indicated and approved that re-
sistance TO it ceased not onS among lhe
people, but among the protective econO-
mists and even among the manufacturers
TO large extent.
What, then, shall be said of the Re-
publican "protectionist" scheme to re-
open the tariff question and increase
the present duties on the pretence Of
increasing the government revenue
from customs? No scheme could be
devised that would more surely cut
down the treasury receipts and swell
it's deficit.
Under the Wilson tariff (Which af-
fords labor and manufacturers the in
estimable boon of free wool and other
free raw materials the wages of prob
ably 500 900 workmen in our mills and
factories have been increased, new mills
are going up and idle plants resuming
work. For the first time in thirty-fiye
years our decadent export trade in
American manufactured goods shows
signs of returning vitality. And Amer
lean merchants are beginning to look
wistfully for a revival of their once
famous and lucrative ocean commerce.
Any return to 'protectionism" would
dash their hopes and bring back the
labor troubles which were so memoir
able and multitudinous in the era of
the Mckinley tariff. The people are
beginning to see that every "protec-
tive" tariff on imports is destructive of
their foreign commerce, and is besides
the least economical and most mis-
chievous method of raising revenue. 1t
is time therefore for all protection
lists" to cease their vain advocacy of a
return to high tariff.-New York Her

Under Mckinley law....''''S 90 a.

It will be seen from the official gov
eminent statistics that in the eleven
month period of comparison the Wilson
tariff yielded to the treasury $685. No.
44zO9 more NEARLY thirty per cent
more) of customs revenue than did the
Mckinley tariff. The average month
" customs duties collected under the
new tariff exceeded those collected per
month under the Mckinley duties by
50 O1O O39.7 70. At this rate the Wilson
tariff will yield in the first year OF its
operation fully $S6.OOO,OOO more in Gus
toms than the Mckinley tariff yielded
in the last year of its existence.
II is now as clear as a sunbeam that
the Wilson tariff is a better revenue
raiser than McKinley's or any tariff
with high protective" rates. If more
revenue is to be raised by customs
duties the Wilson rates must be rather
lowered than raised. Every economist
and every merchant knows that high
tariff rates act in prohibitory way on
importations, and hence kill the reve-
nue. from customs. Had the original
Wilson bill-prescribing lower duties
than those fixed in the bill by Senator
German and his clique--become law it
would have brought in to the govern
ment much larger revenues, and the
present deficit in the treasury would
have been much less than it is.
II daily becomes more and more like
" that the Wilson tariff will work the
same good results accomplished by its
prototype, the low tariff of 1916. Mr..

WHAT MS cuEAPENED IRON.

According TO the semi-annual Stats
teal statement Of the American Iron
and Steel Association there were in
operation or capable Of producing iron
on June 80, 1895. 500 blast furnaces
the smallest number recorded in more
than a quarter of a century. The Bull
letin of the Association enumerates
nineteen furnaces which have been
closed or abandoned since the begin
ming of this year. In the last twenty
years the number of active blast fur
naces has been reduced from 71S to
500: but the actual abandonment of
iron-making property has been far
greater than these figures Indicate, for
much of the decrease has been Offset
by the building of many new furnaces.
Contrasting the present condition Of
the iron industry with its condition
twenty years ago. it is pointed out that
there has been a wonderful cenualiza-
ton and consolidation of interests dur
ing the interval While the number Of
establishments has greatly decreased,
the capacity of the remaining plants
has been enormously increased; so that
the 500 blast furnaces of to-day could
make in one year more pig iron than
the 713 furnaces in 1876 could have
produced in three years. As matter
of fact. with a productive capacity Of
4S56. 455 gross tons in 1876 the actual
out-turn of pig iron in that year was
1.S6S. 961 tons: while in 1891 the pro-
duction amounted TO 6.6573SS gross
tons out Of a total capacity Of 16271.-
O27 tons. This enormous increase in
productive capac. Z. while the number
of plants has been greatly reduced, is
significant Of the Influences which have
so largely cheapened all forms of iron
and STEEL in recent years. Improve
ment in mechanical and metallurgical
methods has resulted in a great saving
OF labor and a lessening Of all the costs
of manufacture. This is especially
noteworthy in the pig iron branch Of
the industry, the capacity of blast fur
naces having been enormously increas-

THE SPLENDID WORK
So Far Accomplished by the Wilson Tariff
Bill

So Far Accomplished by the Wilson Tariff
Bill
The recent increase of the govern
ment's revenues from customs duties
is a gratifying sign of returning pros
perity and affords vivid demonstra-
tion of the superiority of the new tariff
over its predecessor.
"a grain of fact is worth more tnan
a bushel of argument" as saith an old
proverb. And the public, long wearied
by the puerile predictions of calamity
howlers. will read in the solid facts
now published by the Treasury Depart
ment overwhelming proof that the VIII
son free trade" tariff (as Republican
partisans so fondly call it, is, after all,
doing its work admirably we'll, and
will, in all probability, ere long yield
ample returns.
During the whole month Of July, just
ended, if we exclude Sundays and the
national holiday, the national revenue
from all sources averaged the hand
some sum of 81, 127, $50 a day, of which
amount the customs duties furnished
nearly one-half. Yesterday august y
the receipts were $1,22O,9S4, of which
the customs were STAT, 262-cOnsider-
ably more than one-half And all
present indications favor the conclu-
sion that these fine receipts are not
exceptional or temporary, but are due
to normal and continuing causes, which
must effect still further Improvements
in the autumn and winter revenues and
probably carry the aggregate income
of the government for the new fiscal
year above $S6O,OOO.OOO.
The customs duties collected in the
eleven months from September l, 1894,
to July 81, 1895 Gnclusive), by the
Wilson rates of duty on imports amount
to $145, 752, 320.66. But in the eleven
months from September 1, 1898, to July
81. 1894 Qnclusive), in which the Nc
Kinley rates were in force, the customs
revenue collected was only S113, 4O6,-
1851. That is, in the eleven months
available for comparison the Wilson
tariff produced for the treasury $780,
&c., 55515 more revenue on imports
than the Mckinley tariff produced.
At its very emergence from its birth
throes the new tariff gave evidence of
its superiority to the old. In Septem-
Der, 1S94-the first whole month of its
existence, when all industries were in
disorder-it returned to the treasury
in customs SIS, 1854, 99O.56, against S12,-
144.626.2S returned by the Mckinley
tariff in September, 1898. In the spring
of 1S93-even before the panic arose or
hard times were felt-the Mckinley
tariff yielded in no month after March
more than $15,41S,69753 (the customs
receipts for april, 1899, which was a
less sum than the newborn Wilson
tariff yielded in September last, when
it had not gone fully into effect and
trade and business were paralyzed. But
the superiority of the new tariff to the
old, in the point of producing customs
revenue, is most signally shown by
comparing the customs collected in the
first eleven months of its life with
those collected in the last eleven
months of the Mckinley regime.
