WILSON TARIFF INDICATED.



The last monthly report of tho
bureau OF statistics is very damaging
TO the calculations of those repu blican
leaders who are counting upon win
ming the next presidential and con-
gressional elections on the tariff issue
II clearly refutcs their chain that the
new tariff is detrimental 10 the indus
tries OF the country and obstructive to
its foreign commerce
The report shows that for the last
nine months, ending with the month
of March of this year. the exports OF
domestic produce exceeded those 81
the previous nine months by s5i ,0Oo.-
600; and the imports OF foreign goods
for the same period showed gain OF
ST., 100000 The exports for the last
nine months also exceeded the imports
for the same period by 5000, 900. The
statistician who can derive ANYTHING
in the new tariff detrimental TO in
dustrv Of commerce from these figures
must have ingenuity enough To dcin-
onstrate tn at two and two do not make
four.
IL is true that the revenues OF the
government of the last II months have
not covered its expenses. This, how
ever, IS not due To any characterization
10y the authors of the new tariff act.
IL is ATTRIBUTABLE solely To the decision
OF the supreme court preventing the
collection of the income tax
The provision for that tax was a
part of the new tariff scheme. and its
expected income was included in the
estimate of revenue To be derived from
the measure. Had. the income tax
been collected. there Is no doubt that
the revenues Of the government would
now be exceeding its expenditures.
The annulment of this feature of the
new tariff act could not reasonably
have been anticipated, because sim
liar income tax had been collected by
the government for n mum Der of wears
withou: question of its constitutions
atty.
Possibly such exhibits of the work.
ing OF the Wilson tariff as this bureau
report gives may yet have the effect OF
checking Mckinley's progress towards
the presidential nomination of his
party. Under his leadership, aud with
his unsatisfactory record on the cur
rency. the tariff would have to be
made the paramount issue. and the
popular choice would be between the
act not in force and return TO Mckin-
ley high protection, which the people
80 signally condemned in ls9s Evil
GENTLY the republican opponents OK /
Mckinley have derived encouragement
from some quarter within the las. few /
days. and perhaps this official showing 4
Of the operations of the new tariff may
have had something TO do with il. At

According To an estimate printed in

When the steel trust takes "A ton OF

than FIVE dollars in silver9 And yet there
are many people who are practically throw

the smaller amount. Many people who

they do fail because they lack health and
energy. Health and strength represent a
greater value than gold and yet many peo-
