Exports of Manufactures

The most striking development in the
foreign trade since the lower tariff took
effect is the heavy increase. both absc-
lutte and relative, in exports of manu-
factured goods. Prior to 1894 the year
was an unusually good one when man
ufactures constituted more than 20 per
cent of the total exports, and the aver
age proportion for a long series of years
under the higher tariffs was nearer Is
per cent. The Washington correspon-
dent of the New York Journal OF Com
merce gives this table, exhibiting the
growth of manufactured exports since
1860:

Ex-senator Brice should not be criti-

If 1t is right to put tax on manufac-,
tured articles which the farmer has to
buy in order to give the manufacturer
satisfying profits, the farmer should be
protected against the cheap labor farm
products Of India and South America
in the markets Of Europe, and as Mr..
Dingley's congress has no jurisdiction
in Europe, it would seem that the only
way to put the farmer on parity with
the manufacturer is to pay him bounty.
An annual appropriation Of about $780,
900, 900 would just about do It, But fair
trade and no favor would be the Demo-
cratic and therefore the better way.
Senators Allison, Platt and Lodge, all
stalwart Republicans, have appointed
themselves special committee to study
the Dingley bill so as to be prepared to
fight it intelligently when it reaches the
senate. Their main fight will be against
the wool and woolen goods schedules.
which, they say are an outrage. Sem
ator Allison is from wool producing
state, and the other two members of the
committee represent woolen factory dis
tricts, and they are agreed that the Re-
publican party could not survive an
other election with wooden fabrics ad-
vanced 100 per cent in price; Besides, the
bill is un-American.
The city council yesterday passed the
retrenchment ordinance by which mu-

are not touched, still 1t is better than
nothing and is perhaps as good as could
be devised without too seriously inter-
fering with the political aspirations of
some of the principal spirits in the move
ment OF course it would not do to in
terfere with the future plans of these
gentlemen even il the city should have
