ceived 30 cents apiece last year. whereas
this year the price has been cut to 20

this city. Mr. Sonnenburg is a Union let
eran, and WAS Wounded ut Malvern Hill.
After the war he went to South Africa,
ana ssed fortune, and becnine one OF the
leaders in that country. He will return To
Africa III time for the next sitting Of
Parliament. In April.
He is anxious TO be at home In time for
the sitting, as he is interested in plan OF
the British Government to break the COM
mercial treaty now existing between Great
Brit ain, the United states aad Germany In
relation to South African goods and to sub
stitute a new treaty. England fears, he
said today, that the United States is get
ting too much OF the importing business Of
South Africa, and Canada is putting In a
plea for better trade facilities.
The existing treaty has been In operation
many years, and under 1t great Quantities
OF machinery. furniture, implements, Pc
troleum, hardware, canned goods, dried
fish, boots and shoes and tobacco have been
sent TO Sonth A frica from the United States.
The goods, he said, are better and cheaper
than the same class of goods produced In
Germany and England. The merchants OF
South A frica are opposed to higher duty
than is now required, and they are pre-
pared to fight the matter in Parliament.
Mr.. soiEenburg said that II Is of the great
est Importance to the United States that this
Government should take steps to oppose
the proposed new treaty and the exaction
of higher duties On American wares. Should
the new treaty go through 1t win paralyze

THE TARIFF BILL.

The tariff bin has not yet passed, but
1T IS far enough along to be prenounced
out of danger. That it Win become a law
within a few weeks at the farthest is as
certain as anything in the future can be.
Tne report of the Senate finance commit
tee has been constantly modified during
its progress through the Senate and the
most of these notifications have tended
in the direction of the bill as originally
passed by the House, so that by the time
the bill becomes law it will be altogeth'
er more like the measure passed by the
lower branch than was thought probable
when the bill first came up in the Senate.
not be satisfactory in all it's details to all
proteotionists. Some will consider the
duties on wool too low and others will
find them too high The interests of the
country are SO diverse that a duty that
will please one section will not quite salts
fly another. Compromises are inevitable
If any tariff bill is to be passed at all.
But the protection doctrine has been kept
constantly in view in the construction of
the bill and it has been applied as fairly
and as equally as was possible under the
circumstances. The primary purpose OF
every tariff bill must be revenue, whether
constructed along the lines of protection
or of free trade, and therefore the first
question about this bill will relate to its
revenue producing properties. Will it

it win in time, but in view of the heavy
importations of articles now on the free
list in anticipation of their transfer to
the dutiable list it may be questioned if
the first years experience with this meas
ure meets the expectations of its authors.
But the deficit under it, if any, will be
but temporary and when business has re-
sumed it's normal condition and the huge
quantities of raw materials already i'm
ported are used up the measure may con-
fidently be expected to yield abundant
revenue and at the same time afford ade-
quate protection to home industries. The
effect of the passage of the bill on business
and industry must be good, and the signs
of business revival which are already
making themselves manifest will kbecome
clearer and more numerous as soon as
this measure becomes law. The GER
tainty which it will bring will prove a
great stimulus to confidence, and even
were it bad measure the fixity of condi-
tions which its passage would bring
would have highly beneficial effect on
business and industry

In 1880 the value of our farm products ex-
ported was 1924 per cent of our gross ex-
ports, but from that time to the present
the decline has been steady until in 1896
exports in this line were only 66 per cent
of the total. In general our exports have
fallen off somewhat between the years
mentioned, being 1921, 900, 1888 in 1850 and
1864, 629, 300 in 1896 But while there has
been loss of 7.24 per cent in agricul-
turai exports there has been a decline in
the total exports of only IA per cent. In
view of this, it is stated that determined
effort will soon be made to induce
foreign governments to withdraw all re-
strictions now imposed on the importa-
ton of American agricultural products.
