Now the situation Is reversed, and

anxious to return 1t for notes, They
prefer the latter as being more con-
venient and knowing that they will
continue TO be as good as gold In their
purchasing power and for the purposes
Of domestic business. they are so eager

treasury was compelled TO put a re-

A DlSAS1 ROUS TARIFF.
The Observation-Disclosures Makeshift of the
Democrats.

The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Max eshift of the
Democrats.
1t is ut last possible To set side by side
and compare some of the results OF the
tariff Legislation of 1874 with those of
the law it superseded. This task has
been undertaken by the Tribune's
Washington bureau, and performed
with considerable thorOughness, and,
as we believe, with accuracy. The re-
view covers period of two
years-the last II months of the tariff
OF 1880 and the first II months of the eX-
listing law. 10 reduce taxation, pro-
vide revenue for the government, and
for other purposes" was the title given
LV its authors TO the act of 1894, and it
appears to be sadly in need of amend
ment. The free traders assert, and pos
sibly many of them believe. that 1.-The
tariff is a tax upon consumers not only
OF imported articles, but also Of like
articles of domestic manufacture. IL
this be fact, it appears that the people
of the United States are more heavily
taxed under the law OF 1894 than they
were under the ubiquitous" and ''odi-
Gus" act of 1890. The average amount
of per capita tariff taxation rose from
81 ST i'll 1894 to 2.33 in 1S05-an increase
of 46 cents-or more than 24 per cent.
The average rate of duty on all importa-
tons was higher in 1895 than in 1894,
and the average rate on dutiable impor-
tations was less than four per cent.
lower in 1895 than in 1894. Moreover,
as the careful analysis of imports be-
longing to the several classes clearly
shows the burdens of tariff taxation"
are more unequally and inequitably
distributed under the tariff of 1894 than
they were under the law of 1890.
Despite the increase of tariff taxa
ton" the new law has failed to yield
sufficient revenue for the support of the
government, and it is admitted on
every hand that one OF two things
is inevitable - an increase of tax
