Study These Questions.

The tariff and the cost OF living will
be an issue in the coming campaign.
The voters would do well TO make n
study o, these questions before the
coming campaign opens in order to
be able to Judge intelligently of the
merits OF the question M presented by
the two leading parties. The Demo
cratic party will endeavor TO show
that the Payne tariff law is respon.
sible for the Increased cost OF necessi
ties. In this connection we should re.
member that on every article that has
advanced In price the duties remained
the same as under the Dingley law
or was substantially reduced. As an
illustration. we need only 10 point to

Tho Practical Shower.

A young woman much beloved IN
her neighborhood, was to be married.
and this delightful shower was ar
ranged: She had grown up from baby
hood on the same street. and one Of
her mothers friends suggested that
the neighbors contribute the price Of
dozen napkins and tablecloth. Then
they had thimble party and the
linen, was hemmed and monogramea,
The bride was perfectly delighted. Try

1t was no more costly than for each
guest to give separate bit Of linen.
The same idea has been carried out in

Workings Of Payne-AIdrich Measure

Statistics Quoted.

The Payne-Aldrich law. 1t will be re-
membered. went into effect on the
sixth of August of last year. SO that
the returns for the full fiscal year.
which began on the first of July, rep
resent only roughly and approximate
ly the working Of the new law. There
fore the bureau Of statistics calls out
the returns for the eleven months
since the law went into effect. The
statement shows the total imports in
the eleven months period to have
been $1,445.366.500. against $1.331.-
s2S,976 in the corresponding months
of the fiscal year 1907. the previous
high record year of imports. OF this
total under the Payne law, 49.14 per
cent. entered free of duty. being a
larger percentage free of duty than in
the corresponding period OF any year
under the Wilson tariff law, and 1892,
1893 and 1894. under the Mckinley
law, which admitted sugar free of
duty. Customs receipts during the
eleven months operation of the Payne
tariff law we're 1902 1922. .16l. exceeding

as reported by the treasury depart
mcnt, 302,S22,16 with the value OF
imports as reported to the bureau OF
statistics by the collectors of customs,
$1.445, ,366,500. the average ad valorem
rate of duty on all imports is shown
to have been 2095 per cent. and on
dutiable imports 41.19 per cent.
A comparison of this ad valorem
rate of duty with that of correspond
ing periods In each year back to 1890
shows lower rate on total imports
than in the corresponding period OF
any fiscal year except 1896, the sec
ond year of the Wilson law, when the
nd valorem rate averaged 20.5s per
cent, and 1894, the closing year OF
the Mckinley law, when the nd va
loren rate averaged 1873 per cent.
The percentage Of merchandise en-
tering free of duty under the entire
operation OF the Payne law thus far
has been larger than under the Ding
ley or Wilson law. but slightly less
than under the Mckinley law, the
share entering free of duty under the
Payne law during It's entire operation
having been 49.14 per cent: under the
Dingley law during its entire period

hoop up and give each guest small

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR TRADE
American Foreign Commerce the Com
Ing Year Bound to Assume
Gigantic Proportions.

One important factor In the outlook
for trade and industry is the excel
lent conditions existing In the coun-
tries which are the best customers
American producers have outside their
home markets. The prospect for for
eign commerce is entirely different
from that which would exist If the
times were bad in Great Britain, Ger
many, Canada, France and Mexico.
But these best patrons Of American
exporters are all In better than an
average state of industrial and com
mercial activity. Canada Is enjoying
great advance in every form of ma
tional development, and though the
widespread and severe damage to the
wheat crop In the Canadian northwest
will undoubtedly check this growth for
the next year or so, 1t will not pre-
vent many solid gains and the general
progress Of the Dominion will be
rapid. Mexico is making notable
strides In Industries and trade and in
the development of country still far
below the possibilities of its natural
wealth.
Great Britain. Germany and France,
the three leading customers of Amer.
lean producers In the Old World. are
expanding their foreign trade and In
creasing their industrial strength and
activity. They are all in position
to buy more American merchandise
than usual, and there Is an excellent
prospect for American exports to all
of these great European markets.
1t is impossible to form an intelli.
gent estimate of the business situa'
tion In this country without taking ac-
count of conditions where the surplus
of American farms and factories, mills
and mines and forests, is largely dis
posed Of. The prosperity of the best
customers of the United States in for
eign lands is one of the best assurances
of continued activity and many-sided
development in the business of the
American people.
