THE railroad men are still struggling -
gling ov6r the question of worltl'rT
fair excursion -rates.ami ; the solu
tion of the problem seems as fin
away as ever. The latest sugges
tion is that one way tickets only be
sold , and that the rate bo based
upon one and a third fare for the
round trip. The round trip tick
ets causes so much demoralization
to business , through the operation
of scalpers , that it is felt that some
heroic measures are required to
prevent a general collapse of rates
not only to Chicago but to all prin
cipal cities of the country during
the six months of the fair. The
one way ticket virtually effects a
general reduction in passenger
fares during the exposition , but it
is feit that travel will be stimulated
to such an extent that the roads
will find it a profitable way of
dealing with the great problem.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 5. Secretary
Foster , of the treasury department ,
found n pleasant surprise awaiting him
When he returned from Ohio. The chief
of the bureau of statistics , although the
\veather has been very hot , had been
rattling around among his figures while
Secretary Fester was away , and wan
jftblo to give him some interesting in
formation about the effects .of the Mc
Kinley tariff which even surpassed the
expectations which Secretary Foster had
formed as to the wonderful success of
that measure and the remarkable pros
perity of the country under it.
"It is a wonderful showing , " said Mr.
Foster reflectively , as he leaned back in
bis office chair and looked again at the
totals and RomriRrisons which Mr. RrnrVk
bad laid before him. "I wonder what
the tariff reformers can say to this. It
is worth more than volumes of asser
tions based on theories. It shows that
the last congress , when it revised the
tariff , did its work intelligently. "
"What years are taken for purposes
of comparison ? " asked the correspond
ent.
ent."Tho
"Tho fiscal years ended June 30,1890 ,
and Juno SO , 1892. During the entire
year ended June 30 , 1890 , the tariff of
1883 was in operation , and during the
entire year ended June 80 , 1892 , the
tariff of 1890 was operative. "
"Can you give mo a summary of the
results of the comparison ? "
"Yes , here it is :
REVENUE INCREASED.
"First The revenue has been in
creased $51,367,650.
"Second There has been an increase
in the total value of our foreign com
merce of $310,540,510 , as compared with
1890 , and an increase of $400,337,384
over the annual average of the ten years
prior to 1891.
INCREASED EXPORTS.
"Third In 1892 the exports for the
first time in our history exceeded a bil-
linn dollars , hsinpft1.OSn27ft.OHO. . whinli
was § 172,449,346 more than in 1890 , and
$265,142,533 in excess of the average an
nual value of exports for ten years prior
to 1891.
"Fourth The increase in exports of
cotton over 1890 was $7,492,449 , and $36-
772,912 over the annual average for ten
years.
"Fifth The exports of breadstuffs of
1892 exceeded the value of the same ex
ports in 1890 by the sum of $144,437,190 ,
and exceeded the average annual value
for the ten years prior to 1891 by the
sum of $181,206,234.
"Sixth The value of the exports of
provisions in 1892 exceeded the value of
like exports in 1890 $4,097,658 , and the
average annual value for the ten years
prior to 1891 by the sum of $27,703,482.
"Seventh The exports of cattle , sheep
and hogs in 1892 exceeded the value of
like imports during 1890 by the sum of
$3,211,031 , and exceeded the average an
nual value of the same exports for the
ten years prior to 1891 by the sum of
$20,283,071.
GOOD FOR THE FARMERS.
"Eighth The combined value of ex
ports of cotton , breadstuffs , provisions ,
cattle , sheep and hogs , all classed as
agricultural products , of 1892 exceeded
these exports of 1890 by the sum of $159-
238,323 , and exceeded the average an
nual value of the ten years mentioned
by the sum of $215,965,639.
"Ninth The exports of all other
products in 1892 exceeded those of 1890
nf ft1
the average annual value of such ex
ports for the ten years prior to 1891 by
the sum of $49,420,063.
"Tenth The exports of manufactures
in 1892 were $8,884,857 in excess of light
exports in 1890-and-$39,906,294 in excess
of the annual average value of the ten
years prior to 1891.
BALANCE OF TRADE FAVORABLE.
"Eleventh The value of our imports
in 1892 exceeded' the value of the same
in 1890 by the sum of $38,091,164 and
the average annual value of the ten
years prior to 1891 by the sum of $135-
215,052.
"Twelfth The value of free imports
in 1892 exceeded the value of like im
ports in 1890 by the sum of $192,332,143 ,
and there was a decrease of dutiable im
ports amounting to $154,240,979.
INCREASED FREE LIST.
"Thirteenth The value of the frea
imports and also the percentage ef the
same in 1892 were the largest in the his
tory of our commerce , so that trade is
freer than ever before , and largely of
such articles as are not produced in this
country and which enter into the daily
consumption of the people.
REDUCED TAXES.
"Fourteenth The duty collected per
capita of the population in 1892 was $2.67 ,
which was less than for any year since
1863 and 95J < cents less than the annual
average for the ten years mentioned.
"Fifteenth There was a decrease in

manufactures of flax and hemp , etc. ,
$2,136,062 ; in manufactures of cotton ,
$1,594,330 ; in tobacco , $1,176,411 a total
decrease of $46,692,454 , thus giving in
creased employment to persons engaged
in these manufactures in this country
and retaining many millions of dollars
at home.
THE FARMERS' INCREASED HOME MARKETS.
"Sixteenth By virtue of the new tar
iff the importations of horses , sheep , cat

vegetables , hops , flaxseed and tobacco
during the year 1892 were $20,041,495
less than in 1890 , and that much more

A BUSINESS VIEW.
The Tariff Seen Through Business Spec
tacles.
[ Special Correspondence. 1
NEW YORK , Sept. 5. As was pre
dicted oy its aucnor , tne jucrumey tar
iff law is vindicating itself. Evidence
to that effect is accumulating all the
time. Thousands of people who con
demned the "McKinley bill" when it
was passed as being "a step too far"
now frankly admit that they were mis
taken , as many New Yorkers are also
doing.
George W. Betts , of the firm of F.
W. Devoe & Co. , corner of Fulton and
William streets , makes a most interest
ing statement as to the effect of the
McKinley bill on his business. Messrs.
Devoe & Co. are wholesale dealers in
paints , oils and artist materials. They
have been established since 1852 , and
have a very extensive trade , both do
mestic and foreign.
Mr. Betts is a typical independent.
As such he has held more or less pro
nounced views on the subject of tariff
reform.
"I confess that I was opposed to the
McKinley bill when it was under consid
eration in congress , " said Mr. Betts. "I
thought it went too far and believed that
the Republican party was making a seri
ous mistake in passing it. I did not think
that I should ever vote the Republican
ticket again. Many of my friends who
TinR.fiTvnTYHnnTi pntfififidfints felt the
game way. But since I have observed
the actual operations of the McKinley
law and its effect on the business inter
ests of the country my views have
changed.
"There are still many things in the
McKinley bill that I believe could bo
improved ; but take it as a whole , judg
ing from results coming under my per
sonal observation , I have no hesitation
in saying that the law is a positive benefit
to the country , and is a vast improve
ment over the legislation the Democrats
have suggested to take its place. Take ,
for instance , the reciprocity and draw
back clauses. Reciprocity is opening up
the markets of Cuba , Jamaica , Porto
Rico , Brazil , Mexico and other countries
to the south of us. We are shipping
more goods to these countries than ever
before , and ifis all on account of reci
procity.
"Under the reciprocity agreement our
goods are admitted to these countries
nnder a tariff 25 per cent , less than the
commodities of England or any other
country. That gives us a great advan
tage , and we are beginning to reap the
benefit of it.
"Business is business the world over
and merchants are going to buy their
goods where they can get them the
cheapest. If we can undersell our Eng
lish and European rivals we will cer
tainly gain the bulk of the trade of the
countries to the south of us.
"I believe , " added Mr. Beits , "many
will vr > to
ticket on account of reciprocity. There
is very little politics in business. A busi
ness man will not support either party
if he believes it is against his interests to
do so. I would not myself.
"The drawback clause is another mat
ter. Reciprocity gives us new markets
in certain countries. The drawback
clause in the McKinley tariff law is of
almost equal importance , although it is
less understood and appreciated. The
drawback law enables our people to
compete -with the world. Under it we
can import raw materials or manufac
tured articles from abroad and get all
the duty back except 1 per cent , when
we export them.
"This applies to every line of goods.
There are many things we can make
cheaper here than in England , and yet
we can buy the raw material that enters
into their composition for less money
abroad. Thus by importing the material
and making the articles here we can
undersell England or any other country.
The tariff is a business question. I am
not a politician and have never been a
partisan. In theory free trade is all
right , but my observation has been that
the theorist makes a very poor business

Sickles and Gocltran on the Soldier Vote.
It is well occasionally to recall that
dramatic scene in the Chicago conven
tion when Bourke Cockran , in the midst
of his-fervid speech , declared that at
least 25,000 Union veterans in New

and gray hairedGeneral Sickles rosein
his seat and waving his crutch shouted ,
"Never ! Never ! " Meriden Republican.
The people of the United States have
gold to their foreign neighbors in the first
year nnder the McKinley law over 8200-
000,000 more in value than they have
bought abroad. There is no other nation
tilth such a record. Until adequate pro
tection , came this country never made
uch a record.
