RECIPROCITY ON TRIAL. VERY MEAGER GAINS IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS. Brazil's Improved Demand Confined Frinp«Uy to Locomotives—Wheat Exports I Increase in Spite of Reciprocity and the Tariff—Who Pays the Tariff Tax? * How It Works. General figures are furnished by the Bureau of Statistics for the year ending Aug. 31, by which it is ascertained that I the total increase in our exports for the twelve months, as compared with the corresponding months for the preceding year, was 835,286,31.7. But the same report shows that the increase in .agricultural pro iucts alone, in August, 1891, was $15,999,952, or pretty nearly half of the whole increase for the twelve months. All of this may seem tedious, bnt to an understanding of what is to follow it is desirable to lay a foundation. (Some stress is laid, in the report, upon our increased export of machinery, as indicating some advantage accruing under “the new tariff” or “reciprocity. ” There is some reason for giving credit to reciprocity for whatever advance has been ma le under it, but it will certainly not be the ehort of the friends of the “new tariff” to attribute to the new tariff the figures that show that while in August, 1890, before the new tariff or reciprocity had begun to improve business, the percentage of our exports of machinery was 25.72 in August, 1891, after reciprocity with Brazil had been in operation for five months, the percentage of exports of machinery was only 20.66. The commercial arrangement with Brazil was proclaimed Feb. 5, and it became operative April 1, 1891. It gave free entry into Brazil of wheat and wheat t our; corn, cornmeal, and starch, rye and rye Hour; buckwheat flour; potatoes, Leans, and peas; hay and oats; pork, salted, including pickled pork and bacon; fish, salted, d= ied or pickled; cot tonseed oil; coal, anthracite and bituminous; resin, tai - , pitch, and turpentine; machinor., for manufacturing and industrial purposes, except sewing machines; instruments and books for the arts and sciences; railway construction material and equipment. The articles that were to be admitted to Brazil with a reduction of 25 per cent, were lard and j substitutes therefor, bacon, hams, 4 butter and cheese, canned and preserved meats, fish, fruit, and vegetables; manufactures of cotton, including cotton clothing; manufactures of iron and steel not included in the free schedule: leather and manufactures thereof, except boots and shoes; lumber and manufactures of wood, including cooperage; furniture of all kinds, wagons, carts, and ca riages; manufactures of rubber. If this reciprocity agreement made under the “new tariff” was attractive and of great advantage, it ought to be seen in the figures. This might be assumed to be so if it could be stated that /the lack of reciprocity had discouraged importations of American abroad. But if increase of trade be the object of reciprocity, it will, of course, be interesting to show how much our exports were increased to those countries- with which we have yet made no commercial agreement on the basis of reciprocity. Chief Brock, in his October pamphlet, issued to show how reciprocity is working, states tli&t during the five months ending Aug 31 pur exports to Brazil increased $1,169,592. He does not say how much our exports increased to other countries with which we have no reciprocal arrangement, in the same period, when it would have been perfectly easy to say that the increase of our exportation of wheat to the United Kingdom in August, 1891, alone, was as great as the increase of all our exports to Brazil, * “under reciprocity, ”in five months. Just to get,at the results systematically, take up the exports by articles in the order in which they are enumerated in the proclamation of the reciprocity agreement. There is wheat. The Bureau of Statistics does not think it worth while to make a line for Brazil, but puts the figures for all of South America in one entry. That entry shows that the exports of wheat in eight months to all Bourh America were $363,553, as compared with $616,211 in 1890, or a loss of $252,658, and it seems that the exports in August, 1891, “under reciprocity,” were valued at $1,574, as compared with 867,233 in August, 1890, without reciprocity, a loss of $65,659. But in the eight months ending Aug. 31, our exports of wheat to France were $20,578,241 in excess of those of the corresponding period for the preceding year, and in August, 1891, there was an increase over August, 1890; of more than $9,000,000, and that with , a nation not enjoying any advantages “under reciprocity.” There was, to 'be sure, an improvement made in our exports of wheat flour to Brazil in the period named. The increase in the value of wheat flour sent to Brazil was $459,598, but the increase to other South American countries, not specified, and none of them attracted by , reciprocal arrangements, was about $900,000, wh le the increase in the exportation to the United Kingdom in eight months was valued at more than $2,000,000. We did better with corn, for our exportation of corn fell off in every * direction except that of South America, ® and in that enthe continent the increase in eigni months was valued at $232,757, while the total export was decreasing more than >31,000,000. As for cornmeal, cornstarch, rye, rye flour, buckwheat flour and barley, the figures were not considered worth presenting. But how about reciprocal potatoes? They do not a pear in the statistics of exports by countries at all, but as our export of all vegetables “in their natural state,” which will probably include potatoes, fell off in eight months about SIOO,OOO, it was evidently not worth while to invoke the aid of reciprocity to explain the decrease. There was also a decrease in our exportation of beans and peas, and there is nothing to show how much of the loss was suffered through the indifference of South America to our peas and beans,even “under reciprocity. ” There was also a falling off, in every direction, of our exports of hay and oats, and the decline in South America is lost sight of in the statistics; But pork ought to show an increase. Does it? Look at the figures. For the eight months of last year ending Aug. 31, the exports were valued at $358,329 to ali “other countries in South America,” including those with which reciprccal agreements have since been made; For the eight months ending Aug. 31, ISbl, the value of exports of pork, salted and pickled, to “other countries in South America,” wa55171,046, or a decrease, *nnder reciprocity,” of .$87,383, There was no reciprocity with the United Kingdom during the two periods, yet in the eight months of 1891 the exports of pork, fresh and pickled, to that kingdom were valued a£ $862, 533 more than they were in the corresponding eight months of 1890 As for bacon, Brazil did increase her purchases of it by $113,000 “under reciprocity," tn the same time that Germany, without reciprocal arrangement, and with a prejudice against all American hog products, increased its purchases to the extent of 1800,000. There was a general falling off during the period of our hog products. Fish does not appear to have turned out very well There are no figures to show, except general ones indicating a decline in exports of that character. Os cottonseed oil. South America, all of it, took less, by $13,000, in the list eight

months, than in the eight months of equal date in last year, but reciprocity may have the credit of an Increase of $6,000 in August last over Angust, 189a We sent to bouth America, all of in the eight mouths ending Aug. 31, 1890, when there was no reciprocity, coal valued at $96,107. In the last eight months the value of the coal sent to South America was $54,814. a decrease of $41,293. The value of the coal sent in August, 1890, was $968, and in August, 1891, “under reciprocity,” the value of the coal ; ent to South America was sl6. Yet iu the eight months of 1891 we sent to British North America, with which we have no reciprocal arrangement, $600,000 worth more of coal than we did in the like period of 1890. But rec procity provided also for increased trade in resin, tar, pitch, and turpentine. There should have been a marked increase in the demand for those articles in South America, and particular y if reciprocity was to be advantageous to the republic that had been induced to let the articles in free of i duty. Well, there was an improvement. In the eight months the exports of resin, tar, turpentine, and pitch to Brazil was $69,704, and the increase in spirits of turpentine was about $5,000. But Germany in the same time'increased her purchases of resin, tar, turpentine, and pitch by $103,184, and her importations of spirits of turpentine were increased $282,053, without the advantages of reciprocity. Then there is a good showing for machinery. “Under reciprocity” the importations of steam engines, mostly locomotives, to Brazil, amounted to an increase of $1,423,811 in the eight I months, and during the same period our I exportations of machinery of all kiuds to I British possessions in Australia increased I $845,391. And this was regardless of | any reciprocal arrangement, and in I spite of the long haul to which the machinery was subject. Os the articles upon which Brazil reduced duties 25 per cent, in order to give us an increased chance to do business with the country, there was an increa e in exportations of hams of about $3,000, an increase of about SB,OOO in exportations of butter to ali South America, an increase of ab ut $4,009 in the value [ of our cheese exportations to all South i American countries, and an increase of about SII,OOO in canned beef, with a de- | cline of SIOO in the exportations in ! August. The reciprocal arrangement may have increased the South American demand for our fruit by $7,000, but it certainly did not increase the demand in Brkish North America, which took, without rec procity. $103,615 more of fruit than in the eight months ending Aug. 31, 1890. The believers in reciprocity as away of increasing our trade in South America will undoubtedly “point with pride” to a record that will exhibit us as increasing our exportation of manufactured cotton to that country. They will neglect to see that while we were sending the United Kingdom $21,000,000 more raw cotton than in 1890, the Brazilian demand for manufactured cotton fell $233,740, but they will see a hopeful sign in the increase of $9,274 in August, 1891. “During the year ending June 30, 1890.” says the Chief of the Bureau of Statistics, “our exports of domestic products to Brazil amounted to $11,902,496, and in 1891 to $14,048,273. an increase of $2,146,777.” Well, take the reports for the last eight months of our exports to the United Kingdom and see what the increase was in a few items: ■io THE UNITED KINGDOM.

Rusk and Hides. The disastrous results which would follow from the adoption of Secretary Rusk's plan to impose a duty on foreign hides, recommended by him apparently to get even with the boot and shoe manufacturers but really to help the rich combination of beef packers, or the “Big Four” of Chicago, are well shown by the following statements of Thomas E. Proctor, of the Proctor Leather Company, of Boston: “The only effect it would have,” said Mr. Proctor, “would be to Increase the price of shoes and curtail our foreign trade in hides. 1 There is no surer way, let me tell you, to make New England solidly and reliably Democratic than to put a tax on hides as contemplated. Let me show you how it would work. The trade affected would be that with the Argentine Republic and Brazil. The leather made from American hides is used in the uppers of the shoe. Very little, 1 may say no sole leather is made from American hides. To put a tax on the hides brought from South America if it had any effect at all on shoes made for our home trade would be to increase their price. On the other hand it would materially hurt the business of our tanners Very much of the leather imported from South America is tanned here and shipped to England. Now, if this import is taxed it will make it impossible for onr tanners to compete with those of Canada who get their hides from the same source, without tax and with the advantage of unlimited hemlock bark. Canadian tanners would derive the benefit, our own tanners would suffer the loss under such a tax. With us hides are an incidental product. If the hide was not sold at all there would be just as many cattle raised as there are now, as the beef and tallow form the main product We do not, however, export any of our own hides. Os the sole leather tanned te this country fully one-fourth is sent away. 'Io place a tax on the leather, that trade would be wholly ruined, as Canaia, where iw importation Is free, would absorb it all. ” By the imposition of a duty on silverlead ore imported from Mexico by the. McKinley tariff our smelting industry was injured and that of Mexico encouraged. Do we want to rep* at this foolish policy in the case of our now flourishing tanning industry? Who Faya the Tariff Tax? One of the foremost claims of the protectionist is that the foreign shipper pays the duties. If this is true, isn't it strange that when famine threatens any country, one Os the first means of relief thought of should be a diminution o* removal of import duties on food stufis? Again, the report of the Treasury Department for the fiscal year 1890 shows that 6,109 gallons of castor oil were imported, valued at $2,910. The duties were $5,520. Now, if the foreign sh pper paid the duty, is it not certain that he not only made us a present o the * ll.' but gave us, besides, $2,610 to get rid of [

it? In 1890 Importers brought into tirt United States 664,653 gallons of spirits distilled from grain, value# at $456,121, the duties on which were $1,329,367. Who paid these duties? If the importers, they lost not only the liquor, but $873.246 besides. These are, of course, ex- ' treme cases, but the truth or fallacy of a proposition is generally most forcibly shown by taking extreme cases.—Rural New-Yorker. ; How Trusts Operate. Major McKinley was the champion of the glass industries in Congress. By his efforts in their behalf he secured an increase in the duty on glassware from 40 and 45 per cent, the old rates, to a uniform rate of 60 per cent, and at the same time imposing this duty on the boxes and other coverings as well as on the glass itself. Soon after the passage of the McKinley bill the glass men got together, and last July it was announced that they had formed a trust The history of i- this trust sinch its formation is Interesting. The following account is from the Boston Commercial Bulletin, an exponent of McKinleyism. “When the United States Glass Company was formed in July, it issued a circular to its customers all over the country, stating its policy and, among other things, announcing that it did not intend to advance the price. Os course j the combination was formed for the ex- i press purpose of increasing the profit I on their goods, but this was to be done ! by economically operating their sacI tories. This was to be effected by having each factory make a special or several special lines; for instance, one could I make goblets and stem ware, and so on. ! The sets of mo ds would also be limited, the saving amounting to considerable, as each set cost from $3,000 to 55,000. “The number of higlcsalaried officers could be reduced. Again, there would be no danger of accumulating stocks, as a factory making a certain line cou d shut down if there was a surplus on the market, and the manufacturers joined in one s’rong associat on, could be more independent of the union of glass workI ers, with which they have in the past i been unable to cope. Thus, by gaining I these advantages, the association prol- - to make greater profits than in the i past. “Four months have not passed yet, but prices have already been pushed up on staple lines from 5 to 10 per cent, and on some specialties, such as cologne bottles and similar goods, the advance has been fully 50 per cent Jobbers look for a greater advance than this before the year is out. What its limits will be it is hard even I to surmise, but judging from the low l basis on which goods sold before the combination was effected the advance was considerable. “The increase in the price of novelties and new patterns has not come yet What are called new patterns bave been on the market now since last January, and no newer ones are expected until the advent of the new year. When they are put on the market the jobb rs say they will most likely be obliged to pay comparatively more than in past years. The advance is very likely to be considerable also, as the making of new patterns entails the risk of not bavins the goods take with the purchasing public, a point which competition in the past did not admit being fully taken into account “By the way prices ha e been advanced of late on table glassware, it is natural to suppose that ihe United States Glass Company has practical control of the market. There are in this country about twenty-six factories in all that make table glassware, and when the association was first formed it included fourteen of these Most of the powerful concerns were secured, yet several remained outside Since July two or three more companies have entered, and of the ten or so left out two or three are large concerns that have the power to harass the combination. “These two or three concerns, it is understood, have agreed to be friendly with the new United States Glass Company and follow the policy of the latter in putting prices up or down. There are some who expect to see these outsiders yet hnmerged in the combination, so friendly has been their attitude in the past. ” Surely the Commercial Bulletin does not agree with the New York Tribune about the “trust-killing" properties of the McKinley tariff. Tariff Shot. During the fourteen years from 1847 to 1851 we had revenue tariffs. This is the period to which the high protectionists re "er as our “iree trade” period. From 1847 to 1861 the average net wholesale price of standard sheetings in the New York markets was 7.8 cents per yard, or During the ten years ending with 1888, after our twenty years of high and prohibitive protection, the same sheet ng was sold for 7.71 cents per yard, or During the revenue period above referred to, wheat averaged $1.24 per bushel in New York, or During the ten years of high protection, ending in 1888, wheat averaged only. 92 cents per bushel in New York, or Under revenue tariffs a bushel of I wheat exchanged for 15.89 yards of standard sheeting, represented by But under the high protective tariff, from 1878 to 1888, a bushel of wheat would buy only 11.93 yards of sheeting, or this amount: In what has the system of high protection on manufactured products benefited the farmer? A Chicago physician says to the health department: “I have a man under treatment for concoshen of the brain caused by a st reek of a stick or club or something liked he is in great dangour. ” Mispeiling in death certificates is by no means uncommon. A recent certificate of death stated that the patient died from the effects of “information.” But in this case it was not, in all probability, from “information* possessed by his “doctor. ’’ Mr. Slavin, unable to arrange a fight at once with Mr. Sullivan, will “star* the country for practice, taking good boxers with him.

Ftubm. The cultivation of prunes in California is said to be profitable, about SI per tree or SIOO per acre. This rate Increases as the tree grows old, until the fruit each year is worth almost $2. Ex-Secre-tary of State Thomas Beck has given up everything else to engage in the cultivation of the prune. The Pajaro Land and Fruit Company was recently formed j for the purpose of raising this fruit in large quantities. It has bought 600 acres of land in Pajaro Valley and will plant an orchard of French prune trees. They will be from four to six feat in height when putin the ground. The stock of these trees is to be three years old and the grafting one year. Next year they will begin to yield fruit. The average life of the tree is thirty years.
