very light importations during several
months of its early history.
A few examples will Indicate to SOW
extent this enormous increase Of i'm
portations during the past few months.
The monthly summary of Finance and
Commerce just issued shows the May
importations of duitable cattle to be
46,975 in number against 1O.067 in May
of last year, while the April importa-
tons of cattle in 1887 were $3.50
against Is, All in April of last year. The
May importaticns of caustic soda
amounted to 9,570,755 pounds against
APPS, $50 in the corresponding month of
last year, while the April importations
were also more than double those of
April, 1896. The importations of chic
DRY root in May were over 5000, 900
pounds against 1850, 900 in May, 1896,
while in April the impOrtations were
nearly 100000 pounds against 1885,
900 of the preceding year. The pros
pect of duty on Egyptian cotton has
stirred up the importers of that article,
the May importations amounting to
100000 pounds against 1,3SS,0OO in
May of the preceding year, while the
April importations were nearly 9,OO0,-
900 against trifle over 5000, 900 in
April, 1896.
The following tables show the impor-
tations of duitable and non-duitable
goods during March. April, May and
June of the present year compared
with the corresponding months in last
year.

They can lead men astray, but they

There is too much demagogueism

Some idea of the loss OF revenue of
the Dingley bill occasioned by these
large importations will be shown by
the increased customs receipts March,
April, May and June of 1897 as COM
rared with those months of the pre-
ceding year. This comparison will not
of course show the entire loss of rev.
enue to the Dingley law, because the
duty which would have been collected
Upon these same articles under that
law are several millions in excess of
the rates which have been collected on
them under the present tariff, but even
these figures give something OF an
idea Of the shortage in the customs
revenues which may be expected under
the Dingley law during its first few
months by reason of the importations
which preceded it's enactment. The
customs receipts in the past four
months compared with those of the
corresponding four months of the pre-
ceding year, are as follows:
