u~tter Await Results.


Our present tariff law has been as
sailed because il is not yielding revenue
equal 10 the expenditures. IL has been
shown that this is only a temporary
condition. and that in time IL will yield
abundant evenu IL would he yield
ing enough now but for the panic
brought on by repu blican legislation.
But little attention has been paid To
the fact that il was absolutely neces-
sary TO repeal or modify the Mckinley
law because IL was not yielding enough
revenue. 1t has been said that il
yielded enough under Mr.. Harrison's
administration. but this is not true.
Else why was the surplus squandered?
Why was a trust fund covered into the
treasury and used to pay current *
penses? Why were bonds 10 the
amount of Sa5.0O0. 900 continued after
they were due? Obviously, because
expenditures exceeded the ordinary
revenue receipts.
A comparison of receipts of the last
fiscal year with those of the present
year is instructive in this connection.
The Mckinley law was in force during
the whole of the fiscal year which end
ed June 30. 1894. and until August %
in the present fiscal year. Up to
March !. 1895. embracing eight months
OF the present fiscal year. the revenue
has been twelve and one-half million
greater than it was in the last fiscal
year under the Mckinley bill. II is
true that July and August of this fis-
cal year were also under the Mckinley
bill. but the collections from customs
during those months were less than in
the preceding year. The collections Of
customs have been larger in every
month since August than in the cor
responding month Of the preceding
year. In December. i>9i. they were
greater than in December. 1923. by two
millions in round numbers. In Janu-
arv. 1895. there was an Increase of six
millions a compared with January,
1894. In February the increase was
about three millions. There was some
falling Oft in the internal revenue for
these three months. but the total rev
increased in December, January
and February, as compared with the
preceding year by about seven mill
lions of dollars. This shows that the
present tariff bill is yielding more rev.
than did the Mckinley bill under
conditions-Louisville Courier

They have wonderful sheep down

Georgia paper is great on statistics.
He had a long article lately on what
Georgia wool growers have lost BY free
wool.
He tells us hat the Mckinley tariff
put a duts on ''all woods and hair of

he says, had the effect of raising the
price by that amount. which went di-
rectiy into the pockets Of the wool
growers of the country. Under this
operation at the present prices for
wool the Georgia wool growers alone
would get sl3, 29-. 2ls q representing

who have benefited by it?'
The Atlanta Journal. has some fun
with these statistics. 1t says: Accord

lead in the wool business and as soon
as the wonderful effect on our climate
