The year 1896 was a disastrous one in
commercial circles. Not only were the
failures greater in number than in any
year. save 1893. but the aggregate
amount involved was much larger. with
the single exception of the year 1884.

COMMERCE AND THE TARIFF.
The Drift of Commerce Under Free
Trade and Protection.

1t has always been the claim of the
free traders that their revenue tariff
would let us out into the markets of the
world with 0Ir goods. while at the same
time lessenihg the burden of taxation
fror, II tariff tax But results do not
Justify their claims. Since they broke
down the wall of protection in 1894, ex-
ports have decreased by 81 cents Der
capita. and by S3.42 per capita since
1892 At the same time imports have
increased 10y S1.34 per capita since 1894.
and the tariff tax has been increased
by 80 cents per capita through larger
collections of customs duties. The OFF,
cial records distinctly show a decrease
in customs duties per capita under pro-
lection. with an increase under free
trade. or a mere touch of it. Fortunate
~ the country is once more about to re
vert to an era of protection and prosper
ity. 10 larger exports. less taxes. less debt
and a better home market for the prod
nets of farms. fields and factories. The
following table shows the exports and
imports per capita under various stages
of the tariff:

During nearly thirty years of uninter-
rupted Republican administration the ex-
ports of domestic products and manu-
features were more than double per cap
tia of population. increasing from SI.73
in 1861 To S1J-53 per capita in 1892.
Since 1919 the per capita Of exports has
never been so low as it was in 1895.
The greatest imports per capita were
$3.50 in 1872, and in 1894 they were
lower than in any year since 1879 The
decrease IN the amount of customs du-
Ties collected is most striking. In 1872
they averaged SJ-23 per capita. falling to
S1.9O in 1894 under the Mckinley pro-
tective tariff. but have since increased
to 500 per capita under the free-trade
tariff of the Democratic party.

Debt and Interest Per Capita.

In 1867 the per capita of our national
debt stood at S69-26 for every individual

had been reduced To SGD per capita.

much as $50 per capita in three years.
