was.

The story came to an abrupt end here. The veteran was thinking over his past. In course of time he went on: "Onct, just beforo the baby was hnrn lii.rrt was a lieht and the color,!

5 aetuallv the highest average
recorded in tho history of the government. In 1S63, under tho war tariff, it was only 4S.G3. In 1SS2, under tha McKinley tariff, it was 4S.71. The per cent, of free goods last year was 59..Ä In 1S92, under the McKinley law, It
was 50.30. The average rate on iree uu dutiable goods last year was 20.23; in 1892 it was 21.26.

VorklBEtBn. Vo are told bv soma of our high protectionist friends that tho exhibit wo recently made of the largo imorrv,rintlv due to the
Ii ihr. tariff, are melancholy in
stances of national decline, because if the goods had not been imported they would have been made in this country. ow, this is just where our short-sighted critics are misinformed. In a largo number of instances if these goods had not been imported those who have been using them would havo t,o.i in f.iroiTo their use. What they
show is that our people have a larger amount than they otherwise would have had of the good things of life to divide among themselves. These importations represent the payment that has been made for American exporUtions. We have had, ana in tho future are to have to a larger degree, an immense export trade, that Is more and mora of thn commodities that the American workingmcn produce are to l markets outside of our borders.
and iu return for these sales we are tc take into this country more and more merchandise which our people very much want, but which wo cither cannot produce or can produce only at such
cxtravagaut prices as 10 ma sumption of the desired commodities possible only to those of large incomes. We are getting by degrecs-and the more trade restrictions are taken off the nearer we shall approach to that condition-to a point when commodities that have hitherto been esteemed luxuries will come within the range of the purchasing power of tho wage-earner.
