OUT OF FARMERS POCKET.
WHAT HAS FOLLOWED REPEAL OF THE
MKINLEY LAW.
LESS AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS SENT ABROAD
AND LARGE DECREASE IN THE
MONEY RECEIVED F1R THEM.
lpY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBrNE.l


MONEY RECEIVED FOR THEM.
lpY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRrBrNEl
WASHINGTON March 2G-The fact that the repeal
Of the Mckinley law followed by an enormous
increase in importations OF farm products is shown
by the appeal OF farmers for return to Mckinney
protection, and suggests some inquiries as to the
effect of the new law upon expectations OF farm
products. The friends OF the Wilson law urged that
repeal of the protective duties OF the Mckinney
act would result in opening markets for Amer
lean products in other parts OF the world. Ihere
has been some hilarity among Democrats Of late
over the discovery that in certain lines there was
actual increase In expectations after the repeal
of the Mckinley law. But when they come to ex-
anime the result OF those expectations their exuta-
ton ends. for 1t Is found that even In cases where
there has been increase in quantities OF agricui-
tural products exported the money received for
them has been much less than during the protection
period.
1t will be interesting to see Just what has hap
pened in the matter OF exports of farm products
since the repeal of the Mckinley law. The new law
having gone into effect August 49, 1894, 1t Is far
both to the new law and TO the old to compare the
operations of the annual periods nearly touching
that date with each other. The last annual state
ment OF exports and imports made prior TO the re-
peal Of the Mckinley law was that for the hscal
year ending July l. 1894. less than sixty days prior
TO its repeal The first annual period for which the
figures are shown following the repeal OF the NC
Klnley law is the calendar year beginning January
l. 1885, little over hundred days after the oc-
currence in question. In tho following tables the
exports OF farm products in the last fiscal year
prior to the repeal OF the Mckinley law are
compared with those of the first calendar year after
repeal 1t will be that in many cases the ex-
ports fell off greatly in quantity while In cases
where there increase in quantity there was
a decrease in the cash received therefor:

SULLIvAN-McBBRIDE DRAW.
Danny Gets a Severe Drubbing From
Spikes" Fists.

New York, Oct. 17.-"Spike" Sullivan Of
iacston fought fifteen-round draw with
Danny Mcbride of New York at the Broad
WAY Athletic Club last night. 1t was Sulli-
vaG's first appearance as star in this city,
and be put up a game battle. For the first
ten rounds it looked to be odds on Mcbride,
as"Spike's" style was not prepossessinga and
he was wild and awkward. Mcbride pun
ished him badly, cutting open his right eye
and punching him hard on the face and
jaw. AT the end of the eleventh round
spike" began to find his way to the
body, and sent in a series Of terrific swings
that weakened Mcbride. In the twelfth
Spike rushed his man to the ropes, and
had him almost at a standstill when the
bell rang.
Sullivan rushed at Mcbride like a mad
man In the thirteenth and landed a series
of swings on the body and jaw that quick
ly dazed him, and the bell saved him. The
local man was better handled than the
Bostonian and came up fairly fresh for the
second last round, but "Spfke' quickly took
the starch of him and he was groggy at
the end. Both slugged for all they Were
worth in the opening of the last round,
but "Spike'' had all the best of the rally,
and when the bell rang Mcbride was all
but out. The referee, Sam Austin, declared
the bout draw.
