The Republicans are constantly re-
ferring to the Democratic tariff law of
1894 as being "a radical tendency In
the direction of free trade" and the OK
IRENE standpatters call it free trade
measure. AS matter of fact, the law
as passed was protective measure on
ma.y articles. as the average ad va
loren rate, based on the value of the
importations Of 1903, was 3S6S per
cent. The bill as passed by the House
Of Representatives averaged 1851 per
cent, but the rates were increased by
the Senate to the higher average.
The Mills bill of 1888 averaged 42.3s
per cent, based on the value Of the i'm.
portations of 1887. The average rate
of the Mckinley law of 1890, based on
the value Of the importations in 1898
was 40.6S per cent, while the present
law-the Dingley act of 1S97-largely
Increased that average, and on many
articles 20 per cent more was added to
Offset the reciprocity provision in the
law, so that the average tariff tax col.
lected in 1905 was 6O2O per cent and
the average rate on all articles exceeds
60 per cent, and on many manufactured
articles is much higher, some even ex-
ceeding 100 per cent.
The changing values of imports from
year to year increases or decreases
the actual rate on those articles upon
