So great has been this discrimination by American manufacturers in favor of foreign purchasers that the Canadian customs authorities have come to regard with esjspieion the price on nearly ell American invoices, at they ean not un deratand why those goods ebeohi be sold to Canadians at ettch great redae khs from the prices at which they are sold at home at tbe point of amnnfaotnre.

The Mills tariff hill of itself is well worth all the time that this long 981SOen has consumed. Mem'ersotlhe Senate, particularly of its majority cannot feel pride in the work accomplished by that body: it produced aa alleged substitute for tne Mills hill, which it did net dare to peat, although the opportuni ty was accorded them oa the day it was firat reported by the Democratic SenskK, who proposed thst the debate should be limited to ten days. The Repubtieeas refused to allon the debate to be limited. Why?

Lxbor Ira Cxd and the Uxited St. Ferdinand Keefer, corresponding sec retary of tbe St. Catharines (On t.) trades and labor council, writes The Sextinbl, celling attention to tbe statement or the Buffalo Jtsxs, reproduced in the Jour nal of this city, that while the Amerifarea band gets from $3 to a aaeath, the farm hand in Canada gets only Six to 814.

The Tnrlfif nmsl Farmers). If there ia one class of laborinr man in the United States who. more than any other, who ought to be in f aver of a red action of the present tariff, it is the farmer elecc. An average farmer in Dubois eon. aty with 100 acres of Isnd, sad half dean ia his family, is compelled to pay bv the tariff at least $88 every year, and if he buys a reaper, or a thresher, or hinder, he paye more than that much tax on thn siagle purchase. Some oftbie.tex if unquestionably neeeesirv, but an investigation will show thst at least half of it could be taken off to the farmer's advantage, and to the detriment of no one but tbe large manufacturer, who grows quickly rich by reason of being able to put a large part of thh tax imposed on the farmer by the tariff laws, in hie own pocket, instead of its going into tbe treasury of the Uaitsd States. The diffsrerenee in the profits of farming ami manufacturing in ehown by the follow, iug from a farmer contributor of tbe IadinapolSs Sentinel. W. K. Noris sends from Sbelbvville, Ind , n paper showing tbe enormous profits of the niaanfactnrer, a compared with that of the agriculturist. Here ie tbe result of his investigation : According to the ofiteial returns ofthe eensne of 1888, in the matter of maaufaetnrers, the Capital invest sd in manufactures wne $2,780,733,808 Total amount paid in wa ges during the, year Valne of material need 847,818,874 3,384,348,038 Valne of products manu factured - , ,097,708 Now adding tbe two items of waxes paid and materials need together, we get for expenses $4,34,888,708, which de duct from the valne of pr ml nets mannfacturod and it leavss a profit of il.087.308,003, which is very nearly 37 per cent, on tbe total amonut of capital invested in ntenuiecfiires ot all kinds reported, numbering XM840 establishment and employing 2.788,830 bands. Thne it will be aeon that the profit on manufacturing in the United 3tata, frvthe census year 1880, neaonated to about 37 per cent ,0780,008,000 of capital invested, a much higher rate ef profit than is eroinaniy resitaed tn any other occapatton in this eonntry. Good boeioeM oonsroer ki per cent, prom on their being sufficiently remaBrnr iw vaniotn inesn so par nil ineir accessary expeasee including clerk hire, insurance, taxes, freight, gas. etc, and still leave them a nice handsome Per oentage of net profit on their businees. It ie a common subject of remark amongst fJarmsrs of late years that farming dose not pay. The crops have been light and prices of farm prod nee have low. uood farmers tell me that their farms only yield them from 3 to 4 per cent, clear. Contrast the farmer with the manureetarerf tbe one receiving 3 percent, ox his investment, the other 37 per cent. Let A represent tbc agriculturist, and M the manufacturer; they each invest 810,000, the one in farm ing, tbe other in some line of manufactur ing. At the end of the year A, tbe farmer, dears $380 ox bis investment but M, the manufacturer, clears 93,700 on hie. There is too great a difference here : the mannfactnrer clears twelve times as much ae tbe farmer. There is too much disparity here; the manufacturer is pro tested by the tariff; the farmer is not. This disproportion onrat to he ram. sdisd. If tbe farmer were making 10 per cent, annually be wonld probably not complain ; and If the manufacturer were making 30 per cent, annually he ought not to complain. AH that the democracy seek to accomplish is to lop off tbc inequalities of the present high tarig bv extending tbe free list on raw materials "d the nneessaries of life, and so adjustl ig and reducing the reeidne of the tariff list as to give tbe manursctorere of l'e conn try a reasonable degree of protec I a consist ent with tbe amoxot of revenue requir ed by tbe government, thereby lights. nx the burden of the consumers or last purchasers, nine-tenths of whom are poor who oax ill afford to bo taxed ae they now are, an average of 47 per cent, oa all maaafaotared Articles which tbey buy.
