When you think the worlds your oyster
and felcitate yourself
On your standing and your balance in
the bank.
Just remember there are others as re-
spectacle as you,
You are not the only turtle in the tank
The colonel of militia is a very mighty
man,
His epaulets will tell you of his rank.
But there's captains, and there's SER
geants. and corporals besides.
He's not the only turtle in the tank.
Don't think because you have views on
politics and such
That the man who differs from you is
crank
It's within the bounds of reason you may
make mistakes yourself,
You are not the only turtle in the tank
The self-made mans a wonder, he will
tell you so himself
And there is no one but himself to really
thank
But when he dies there's someone who
can fill the gap he leaves.
He's not the only turtle in the tank
So take your honors easy and be just like
the rest,
For whether you're prize or q blank.
The world can do without you, can forget
you in day,
For you're not the only turtle in the
tank.

Thus we have lost gold enormously
while there has been no gain worth

losers under the present law in the

enormous increase in importations for
which we must pay in gold. we have
lost SLOT 100000 OF gold under the new
law In excess of what happened under
the Mckinley law In the same length
OF time. and have also lost $40,o00,oo0
in customs duties, which the foreign

The Official statement Of the treas

PORTS and exports and those Of the
calendar year just ended makes clear
some remarkable. facts with reference
to the workings of the democratic tar
in law. That our imports were I'M

derstood. but IL was scarcely realized
that the increase was 80 great; nor
was IL deemed possible that. with such
an enormous increase of importations.
the revenues from customs could be
SO greatly decreased. Yet this IL =
fact.
The importations during the first
iG months OF the present law. which
ended with December. amounted TO
i,024, 097. 2s5. This was an increase
of over $107, 000, 900 in amount as CONF
pared with the last 16 months of the
Mckinley law. Yet IN spite of this
enormous increase In importations.
there was tremendous falling of In
receipts. Those for the 16 months
amounted 10 S400. 0ss. 6sa. while the re-
ceipts In the last 16 months of the Me-
Kinley law amounted TO $43c. 586. 357
Thus the increase of sl07, 600. 900 In i'm
portations under the new law resulted
in decrease Of s4o.ooo.oo0 in revenue.
This increase of imports. without
any extension of our export trade, Is
IN important factor In the drain OF
gold from this country TO Europe.
Aside from the gold which is produced
in our mines, about S40.000,000 a year,
our supply comes from the articles
which we sell 10 other nations. De-
spite the claim of the advocates of low
tariff that the reduction of duties
would open the doors of the world TO
our products, we have not increased
our exports in any sum worth men
tioning during the time in which the
imports have been increasing so enor-
mously.

articles from other nations, by spending

Last week we received by special ca

Economist, the total value OF the ex-
ports of wooden goods from bradford
up 20 December 81. 1895. the first COM
plete year of our experience in actual
free trade In wool. The result con-
firmed what every protectionist anlic-
ipated and proclaimed. Our frcs trade
was OF more benefit to English than to
American manufacturers. Bradford
hhipped us wooden goods worth f5.-
-01,242. This was mn increase of
f3.473.640 over and above the annual
shipments during the full Mckinley
tariff period from 1891 TO 1894. Amer

Our experiment with free trade in
wool for one year has enabled the
English manufacturers OF yarns, wool
ems and worsteds to sell more than four
times ms much of their goadsa as theydid
in 1894. and $50 per cent. more than the
average annual sales during the entire
protection period from 1891 to 1894, m

raw material TO our WOODEN manufac-
turers.

dom sent ms. in 1895. over $50 per cent.

wool than In 1894. the increase In val

value of wool sent here last year was

farmers. while our manufacturers lost

Never within 30 years have we I'M
