The monthly debt staten mt Of ApE.l

Legislation. After the election Of
Cleveland in 1892, the business world
took alarm at the certainty that a
low tariff law would be passed, and
began to prepare for 1t, just as today
everyone is preparing for the time
when the Dingley bill shall become a
law. -Four year ago the merchants
stopped buying, 50 as to get rid Of
the stocks on their shelves Of goods
which would be affected by a lower
tariff; importers stopped importing ex-
cept TO fill direct orders, and the rev.
enues fell off in consequence. Now
they are doing exactly the opposite.
During March they took imported
goods out of bond, paying the duties
thereon, and thus increased the rev.
enues sufficiently to turn the deficit
into a surplus. The amount of duties
