German Tariff Results Show Poverty, Not
Prosperity, Of the People.

German Tariff Results Show Poverty. Not
Prosperity. Of the People.
When considering the effect of the
present lower tariff, it should be remem-
bered that in 1892 and early in 1898 the
bulk of the people were far more pros
porous than they are today and conse-
quently were better able to pay for the
luxury of foreign goods. Now the lower
tariff permits the larger quantities Of
imports at such low prices as enable
keen competition with our own manu-
facturers and interference with their
business in our home market, the peo-
pie not being able to afford to purchase
so many articles of voluntary use and
luxury as they did in 1892 and 1898.
This fact is very evident from COM
parison Of such imports as follows:
IMPORTS OF ARTICLES OF VOLUNTARY USE,
Injuries, ETC.
1892. 1893. 1895
Value. sl04, 764 252 55,54l sos, 255, $50
During the year just ended, to June
80, 1895, we bought over $11, 800, 900
worth less of articles of voluntary use,
Injuries, etc, than in 1892, and $32,
600, 900 less than III 1898.
Turning next TO our imports of ar
ticles manufactured and ready for con-
sumption, articles that enter directly
into competition with the products of
our own factories, we find that we
bought s., 800, 900 worth more in 1895
than in 1898, an increase of 2.32 per
cent of all imports, while the increase
was 2.97 per cent over the 1892 figures.
If we look at those imports of articles
in a crude condition, or which were
wholly or partly manufactured for use
in our mechanic arts, we find that in
both cases they were less in 1895 than
in 1898 and 1892, the exact figures being:
IMPORTS OF ARTICLES.
1892. 1888 1896.
ditOn s2O4, oss 800 s22o. I'll ess SOL, iis so
For mechanic
arts ........ 50. 2o6.47l se,759,s02 7s,656e5S
In 1895 we imported nearly $18, 000.-
600 worth less of articles in a crude
condition than we did in 1892 and $780,
600, 900 worth less than in 1898. OF ar
ticles for use in the mechanic arts we
imported to the extent of 80, $50, 900
less in 1895 than in 1892 and over $780,
600, 900 less than in 1898. These values
show that the German tariff has been a
hindrance to our manufacturers in sup
plying them with an abundance of cheap
raw or partly finished material, and it
has been a hindrance to them in supply
ing the demands Of the home market
because our imports of articles. manu-
featured and ready for consumption,
have been of greater value even than
they were in 1892, when our ability to
purchase them was SO much greater.

 RepresSed. Evidence that Turkish Troops Took Part in inc Recent Armenian
 Massacre.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 7.-Hali Rifat Pasha, the Turkish minister of the interior, has been appointed grand yizier to succeed Kiamil Pasha, re- signed.
 The Turkish minister of foreign af- fairs has promised to give the ambas- sadors of the great powers definite re- ply within two days as to what steps the Porte intends to take for the res toration of order in Armenia and to provide for the protection of Christians in that part of the Turkish empire. A direct warning has been given the sul- tan that Europe will intervene to re store order in Armenia unless the Turkish government acts promptly.
