rally stimulate imports of goods,
which inter- largely into conpeti-
ton with American products.
Rhese facts form an important
part Of the basis of estimates to be
made by the Treasury Department
i'll the report of the Secretary to
Congress respecting the revenue
receipts 1t will be remembered
that, when the Mckinley Tariff OF
1890 Was enacted, the receipts I'M
der il FOR the first year, at least,
were materially discounted by rea-
son ofthe fact that importers, TAX
ing advantage Of the enactment Of
a Pro ective Tariff, imported vast
quantities of goods under the then
existing low tariff rates. The eff
feet of this was not only to check
importations during the first
months Of the existence of the tar
if act Of 1890, but it materially re-
duced the volume of revenues cx-
pected to be raised under that act.
1t is well to take into considera-
ton, however, the fact that this
expected increase i'll importations,
although beneficial in the way of
swelling revenue receipts, will be
most disastrous TO American indus
tries, with the products of which
these goods will directly come into
competition. Rhe depression OF
business throughout the Udited
States during the past two years
mad the undoubted effect of greatly
diminishing the consuming power
of the people. Wages were low,
and purchases of commodities, es-
pecialy of the common grades III
woolens, cottons, clothing and
goods of this character, were much
below the normal.
The reports from most Of the
large shipping points in Europe
bear on; fully the statements made
to the Treasury Department re
specting the probable increase il
importations during the coming
| winter and spring. This is espec
tally true of the reports from con
suls III England, France and Ger
many. There is greatly increased
activity among all the exporters il
woolens cottons, and metal good
trades in Great Britain and on tn
Continent, and it is apparent tina
they arc rushing their mills for tn
express purpose of taking advan
tage of the present low tariff rate
