The Irish Census.

Dublin, March 24.-Another chapter
of the Irish census has been issued. 1t
shows that in 1901, 39.613 natives of
Ireland emigrated, being decrease of
5,675 as compared with 1900. The colo
MES and foreign countries attracted
S3349, or S4.2 per cent, and 6,264, or
1913 per cent, settled in Great Britain.
To the United States there went 31,942
persons, or sos per cent of the whole.
compared with an average of s5.8 per
cent for the four preceding years.
Ulster furnished the largest contingent
to Canada and the large majority of
those making their new home in Scot
land.
A feature of the returns is that since
1897 the flow of Irish emigration to
Great Britain has increased some
three-fold, while the stream to the
colonies shows no change of any mo-
ment. Since 1851, 3.sS1.032 natives of
Ireland have emigrated.
Details are also given as to the coun-
ty of Longford. This county covers an
area of 269,40S statute acres. or 1.3 per
cent of the total area of Ireland. In
1871 1t contained 64,501 inhabitants; in
1881. $1,000; in 1891. 52,647, and in 1901,
1862. AS compared with the return
of 1891, the present census shows a de-
crease at the rate Of 11.3 per cent.

FREE HIDES FROM CUBA.

An additional argument brought for

be made to congress by Mr.. Roberts, of

admission of the hides of cattle raised
in the island of Cuba. An eastern VIII

sugar producers thinks well OF TINS
scheme and says: 'The hides scheuule
az the Dingley law Is frequently re-
farred to by the friends of that law it
self as one of the features in 1T whlch
at favorable time might wisely be re-
vised. Doubtless it was intended to
benefit the farmers; its practical result
has been to ruin a part OF our export
trade in leather goods by raising the
nr.ice of a class of raw material not
produced here, and it is doubtful If 1T
has helped anybody but the big pack
ing houses, which have been able to get
little better figure for their hides
without giving any more to farmers for
their cattle. 1t happens that the cattle
of the United States do not produce as
thick hides as the coarser cattle of
Venezuela and Argentina. For heavy
betting that thick hide is absolutely
necessary, and formerly the betting
manufacturers of the United States ex-
ported large quantities of such belts to
Europe. With the imposition of a tax
on hides, instead Of being driven to
substitute domestic hides, they were
compelled to buy the South American
hides at higher figure, increasing the
cost of belts for domestic use, and as
their English competitors got those
same hides without duty, they could put
the finished article on the European
market so much cheaper that the
American betting manufacturers aban-
doned their export business in that line
of goods
"Since. the revolution Cuba has been
largely restocked with cattle from yen-
czuela, and there is reason to believe
that the island, under the stimulus of
free entry for its heavy hides to the
United States, might furnish our fac
tories with the raw material they need
to give lis cheap betting at home and a
chance to sell betting abroad, without
in the least hurting the cattle raisers
of the United States, whose product
does not come in competition with the
South American thick hides. Thus
Cuba might find profitable new in
dustry and the United States get free
some raw material which is not pro-
duced III this country"
