THE DUTY ON HAY.
Farmers Are Suffering from n Democratic
Tariff.

Farmers Are Suffering from n Democratic
Tariff.
The farmers of the country are APP
pealing to congress just now for nm IN
creased duty upon hay. Thousands of
petitions have been in circulation in the
country in the past few weeks, signed
by hundreds of thousands of farmers,
asking congress TO increase the rate.
The reason of this is the enormous in
crease in the importations of hay, most
ly from Canada, since the repeal of the
Mckinley law. The duty on hay under
the Mckinley tariff was 81 per ton.
In the year following the enactment OF
that law, the importations OF hay
dropped from 10000 tons TO $4,000
tons.
The Wilson law repealed the rate, and
in it's place put duty of 20 per cent. od
valorem, which amounts To about 81 60
per ton. So the present rate of duty
under the Wilson law IL only about one
third what 1t was under the Mckinley
law. The result OF il is the enormous
increase in the importations of hay.
The amount of hay brought into the
country since the enactment of the Will
son law has been moro than double
what IL was in the corresponding length
of time under the Mckinley law.
The official figures for the first II
months OF the Wilson law show
total importation OF 373, 500 tons of hay,
against 140,Os2 tons in the last II
months OF the Mckinley law. This
shows an increase of 233,77s tons. 1t
will thus be seen that the importations
under the new law by reason OF the
enormous reductions in tariff rates,
have increased more than $50 per cent,
and that nearly 81 .OOO.O which would
otherwise have gone 10 the farmers Of
the United States, has gone out of the
country 10y reason of the increased pur.
chases of hay from abroad brought
in as result Of the reductions in rates
of duty.--Toledo Blade.
