Felling Farm Implements.

Tho New York Press rejoices thus in the increased exports of our agricultural implements: “United States Treasury reports do net lie. The one just issued dealing with our exports and imports shows that whereas in March, 1890, wo sold American agricultural implements to other nations to the value of $387,255. In .March, 1891, we sold these implements abroad to the value of $621,721. This does not look as though the McKinley tariff was checking our exports. ” No; but it looks as though our manufacturers of farm implements, with a protection of 45 per cent., were succeeding pretty Well in enlarging their foreign market by their method of making special discounts in that market below home prices. Why then do they need protection at home?
