Catching at every straw which they think may serve to keep them ami their McKinley tariff issue above water, our republican friends point to the difference between the imiwrt of the last few months and those of the corrcsonding months last year. They refuse to compare the recent figures with those of the corresponding period in the fiscal year 1S03, but persist in telling their readers that the
