say nothing Of the nearly $50,000,000

was great reduction in the size Of
American flocks and greater reduce
tioa In their value, which went from

sheep" and he fiinched before the
argument which he knew was coming.
"Yes, sheep. Your business sense
was better than your political sense,
thank goodness. When McKinley's
election was assured didn't you buy
sheep? Didn't you think they would
go up? What made you think that?
Was it because you thought that more
wool or less wool would be imported
under the laws he would give us?
Didn't you know that his tariff law, his
protective tariff law, on wool would
shut out most of the cheap wool that
was coming from the four corners Of
the earth, md that the law would en-
able our home farmers to raise wool at
profit? Hasn't that made sheep go
up in price? Isn't that where you get
your profit? Answer me-"
But he answered not.
"Now, think Of this" she proceeded.
Taking the average Of oil our peo-
pie, the country over, II takes the
wool OF one sheep TO supply the needs
OF each person, possibly triffe more.
In 1897 IL took about sA pounds 10 each
person. while the average weight OF
fleece IF wool was about or pounds.
Yet on basis OF the amount used In
1894. 1898 and 1896 that quantity would
have very nearly supplied each per-
son. Then we have II, one person,
one sheep needed. We have over ~
000,0 inhabitants, but how many
sheep? Look up the government rec
ords and you will find that In 1893 we
had about 100000 In the entire coun-
try, enough TO supply little over half
our wool. Did the tariff reform party
that was In power then try TO help you
and me by saving our home market
for us? You know as we'll as / do that
they put wool on the free list, so that
II could come from everywhere; and In
four years our flocks dwlndled down
so that In 1897 there were only about
36,0O0,00O sheep In the country, not
enough 10 supply half our wool.
"Why this decline? II was because
the American farmer could not pro-
duce wool at profit and compete with
the cheap wool OF the world. Think

Satisfaction for the magnificent
showing Of the balance Of trade" for
the last fiscal year is tempered by the
consideration that our tremendous ex-
port business was so largely done In
foreign ships. AS has been recently
shown, American products sent to for
elgn markets pay $500, 900 n year TO
foreign ship owners. We abandoned
the protective policy, so far as II applies
TO shipping In foreign waters, In 1918.
The result Is that, with the greatest
export business in the world, Ameri-
can commerce, meaning carrying trade
20 foreign ports. Is nothing like as
large as II was when we began doing
business ms an independent nation.
Seventy years ago the percentage of
American carriage In foreign trade was

when IL ended, 27.5, and last year, o. II

TWO TARIFFS CONTRASTED.
How Canada Fares Under "a Reduce
ton of Customs Duties-The
old and the New.

A free trade paper compares the re-
suits of Canadian tariff which re-
duces duties with an American tariff
that increases duties, and finds the adj
vantage 10 lie with the former. The
free trade journal says: "The volume
of imports into Canada has increased.
in spite OF the large reduction in du-
ties, from Si9,4s7, 900 in 1897 to s21,-
100000 in 1898. How greatly our own
imports have declined, as well as the
customs revenue, IL is unnecessary to
repeat"
If the principal object of tariff Is
to provide revenue, tariff which re-
duces duties Is quite as likely TO effect
that object as one which increases du-
ties. But If the object Is TO build up
home industries, the tariff which in
creases duties Is preferable. Under the
reduced Canadian tariff couple of
millions Of dollars worth OF goods have
been imported that under the old tariff
would probably have been made in
Canada. The labor cost Of these goods
was distributed in the countries from
which the goods were imported instead
of being distributed in Canada. In
these days, when all the world Is fight
ing for markets, this result cannot be-
considered desirable. A market for
goods In Canada should be worth as
much to Canada rs n market for the
same amount of goods, and at the same
price, Is worth in China. Yet we find
Great Britain, of which Canada Is de-
tendency, ready TO fight for market
In China, while Canada throws away
its home market
The free trade paper continues in
nocently: "The people who use cotton
goods have TO pay less for them.
Wooden goods that cost SIPS may now
be bought for one dollar, and so on in
the case of many articles. The effect
of the still lower duties that go into eff
feet this year ought TO be carefully OBJ
served by our legislators"
The still lower duties win quite likely
admit into Canada another couple Of
million dollars worth of goods that
Canada would have manufactured un-
der the 1898 tariff. IL IL does not, 10
will be because a people whose work Is
taken from them are too poor to buy
goods. IL we turn TO n consideration of
the effect OF increased duties in the
United States, we can point TO an ex-
cess OF exports over imports of $685.
coo, 900. The loss of revenue on imports
can be borne with equanimity in view
of the fact that these s615,000,000 of
goods will be paid for in gold which
will be distributed among the American
people.-San Francisco Call.
