FACTS ABOUT THE TARIFF.


fF,om the American Economist
Our import duties should DO paid In
gold coin.
Utah's wool clip has these past TWO
seasons averaged less than half the
price that It easily brought while the
Mckinley law was in fore. "This Is
a Democratic year"
There was a decrease Of S,233,3O3 In
the number Of hogs in the country be-
tween 1892 and 1895. Their per capita
value increased by 81 cents but the
total value fell off by $2l, $50, l4o.
This is the way the Free Traders Inn
prove the value Of farm products.
Ifa laborer in England earns 1915
n week all the year round he thinks
he is very lucky, but thousands OF
them do not see even such a small
sum as that. They rarely ever taste
fresh meat, and II they can get piece
OF salt bacon they are content. Al
the end Of life OF constant toll and
penury they have the certain prospect
OF ending their days in the workshop.
During the Mckinley Tariff period,
ls9O-lsgI. IL can be seen that our ex-
ports more than doubled i'm quantity
while our imports of foreign hops fell
)ff from 6,539,5l6 pounds in 1890 down
to sls,O22 pounds in 1894. Then the
Tariff, 15 cents per pound, was Pro-
Jective 20 the American farmer as
the import figures prove. lmmedi-
ltely the lower duty Of 8 cents per
pound was restored by the German
Tarin, our imports increased up to
|,l33, ,664 pounds in single year.
What an object lesson we have, as
to the beauties Of the Wilson Tariff
in the reports from Washington of
che Imports and exports for the first
nine months of the present year.
There was a falling of in exports OF
more than 5000, 900, and an increase

last year, although we were promised
that the Democratic Tariff would
work directly the other way. 1t is
true that the Wilson Tariff has opened
