Large Imports From Mexico.

Imports from Mexico show some
mystifyiDg and unexpected figures un.
der the lew tariff. Especially is this
true of cattle brought across the bord-
err. The Diugley law advanced the
duties Cd cattle very materially. for
the well understood purpose OF giving
the rai-ecs of this country Their shaf e
in protection. 1t was supposed that
the Influx of cattle from Me xico would
decrease. But it has done nothing OF
the kind. In August, 1896, the I'M
ports Of cattle were $50 head and in
August, 1897, the mum Der was 10, lS4
head. In September OF this year the
impor ia ions were IA, 727 cattle, and in
the same month last year 2031.
Under the Wilson.Gormau law TIE
duty on cattle imported was ad valor-
EN-, % per cent. The Dingley rate S
are 81 head for animals under l
year and not valued at more than S14;
an ad valorem duty of PA per cent on
all va ued at more than Sl4. The
duties on the cattle brought over TIE
border in August ami September OF
this year were S92.37S. If the duties
on the same impo-tations had been
those provided by the cid law the
amount wouli have been S1o, III.
Oue OF the remarkable facts about
these impor tat ons is that when duties
were paid according to valuat,o on un-
der the form.r law the average valua-
ton put upon Mexican cattle imported
IN August and September, 1896, was
St 81 a head. The average put upon

border during the same months of this
