THE TAEIFF DID IT.
Our Trade Largely Increased During
the Past Eleven Months
BY THE M'KISLEI BILL'S.ACTIOX.
One Hundred Millions More Goods Were
Imported Free of Duty.
THE GOOD EFFECT OP RECIPROCITY
"VVashixgton, Oct. 10. The Bureau of
Statistics of the Treasury Department has
mide public a report of creat Talue upon
the foreign commerce of the United States
for aomraratlve periods under the old and
new tariSs.
During the 11 months from October 1,
1890, to August 31, 1S91, under the new
tariff, the total value of our foreign com
merce, imports and exports combined, was
$1,603,782,206, an increase of 5T4,76S,639 over
the value of our foreign commerce during
the prior corrcf ponding periods. The aver
age animal iiscrer.se of our foreign commerce
from 1871 to 1M1, Mas $33,314,352. It will
be observed the increase during the first 11
mocths under the new tariff, was nearly
dutible this average annual increase.
In the 11 months endins August 31. 1891.
the value of our imports was S7C3,210,965, an
increase ot 2o,6Sl,31G over the imports of
the corresponding months of th6 prior
periods. The value ot exports, iS4C,3vl,301,
an increase o! S4P,CS7,323 over prior years.
The value of the imports, free ot duty, dur
ing 11 months ending August 31,1891, was
S?64,6G,336. an increase of S112,013,081
during the first 11 months under the new
tariff
IXCRKASE IN FREE IMPORTS.
During these 11 months, 47 58 per cent of
the total imports were free of duty, lor the
corresponding months of the prior year,
34.27 per cent were free, an increase ot 13.71
in tLc per centage oi free goods imported
under the new tariff. The value of imports
free of dutv during the fiscal year 1890 was
$2G3,f6S,629 the largest in any year in the
liistory of our commerce. The value of
free imports for the first 11 months under
the new tariff was 598,992,707 greater than
for the vear 1890, and ?10S,174,253 greter
than foflSSfl.
It should also be considered, that sugar, a
principal article of import, both in quanti
ties and value, was not admitted free until
April 1, 1891, and from that date the value,
as well as the percentage of merchandise ad
mitted free of duty, has been greatly in
creased Of the value of all imports for the
fire months Irom April 1 to August 31, 1891,
53.75 per cent was free of dutv. This is
much the largest per cent in th-3 imports of
merchandise free of duty in the entire his
tory of the Government!
During the corresponding five months of
1890 the value of the imports was $355,234,
66. of which only 53.27 per cent vas free.
This shows an increase in the value of free
merchandise of f2 012,053 or of 22.48 per
cent during the five months ending August
SI, 3S91, over the corresponding period of
1SS0.
QUITE A NOTABLE YEAH.
It may be noted that the total value of
the imports for the eleven months, $703,
210,9C5, exceeded in value the imports of
any year in the history of our Government,
excepting the fiscal year 1890, hen their
value was $789,310,409. If, however, the
imports of September, 1891, equal those of
August, the total imports will largely ex
ceed those of 1SP0.
The total leceipts from customs during
the last quarter of 1889 and the three-quarters
of 18!K), ending September 30, were
$237,r,08.4y2 45. The customs receipts dur
ing the same quarter of 1890 and 1891 were
$193,302,066 9a This shows during the
vear a reduction in the customs revenue of
541,396,423 49, notwithstanding the large in
crease of imports. The principal article of
our imports from which the duty was re
moved is sucar, and by the provisions of
the new tariff law the removal of this duty
did not take effect until April' 1, 1891.
During the two quarters since that date
the reduction in customs revenue as com
pared with the same period of the prior
year amounted to $41,780,294 12.
EXPORTS LARGELY INCREASED.
The value of exports under the new tariff
during the first 11 months ending August
31, 1891, sras $840,571,331, au increase of
$49,0S7,323 over the exports of like mer
chandise for the corresponding 11 months of
the prior year while the old tariff was in
force. Th'is increase was nearly 2i times
greater than the aunual average increase of
exports during the 20 years prior to 1891,
which was $20,750,423.
During the same 11 months of 1S90-91 the
value of the exnorts has exceeded the value
of the imports by $77,360,330. The import
ance of the excess of export over imports is
conspicuous when compared with the excess
of exports of the fiscal year 1890, when it
was $68,518,275. In 1889 the imports ex
ceeded the exports $2,750,277. In 1888 the
balance against ns was still larger, the im
ports exceeding exports $28,022,607.
The increase in value of our exports is
large and gratifying. The value of our ex
ports fo the 11 "months ending August 31.
1891, exceeds the value of the exports for
any year in the history of our commerce,
excepting the fiscal years 1S81 and 1890.
The value of our exports for the 12 months
ending August 31, 1891, was $909,264,438, or
in round numbers, about $7,000,000 greater
than any previous fiscal year.
EFFECT OF RECIPROCITY.
Of recinrocitv. the renort savs that "it is
opening new markets and increasing the
demand for our products. The vear ending
June 30, 1891, showed an increase in the ex
ports to Brazil of $2,146,777. The treaty
with Brazil went into effect April 1, last,
and it is not to be expected that the results
will be verv marked jis yet
During the month of Angus? lat alone,,
compared with August, 1890, the increase in
values of exports to Brazil was $702,903.
Our trade with Bruil will doubtless con
tinue to largely increase. The reciprocity
treaties with "Santo Domingo and with
Spain concerning trade relations with Cuba
and Puerto liico did not go into effect until
September 1, and as yet there are no avail
able statistics to show the effects of the
treaties upon our commerce. These will
appewr later on and will probably show an
increased demand for our products.
During the year ending June 30, 1891, the
value of our imports of merchandise was:
From Cuba, $61,714,395; Puerto Kico, $3,-
164.110: Santo Domiueo, Sl.U10.3bO.
During the same period the value of our
exports to these same countries was: To
Cuba, $12,224 888; Puerto Kico, $2,153,234;
Santo Domingo, $1,023,731. Our imports
from these islands consist principally of
sugar and molasses, tobacco and manufact
ures of, and fruits and nuts.
The Supreme Court of the United States
will open on Monday for the October term,
and one of the first and foremost cases to
come up will Tje the question of the consti
tutionality of the McKinley tariff act,
which is attacked by two firms ofimporters.

There is a good old adage, an I a true one,
too, and it runs thusly: "Success to him
who success deserves," and Mr. Morris B.
Moses, who is well known to Pittsburgers,
deserves it. Mr. Moses, who has been em
ployed to manage the affairs for the New
York creditors of the compelled sacrifice
sale of clothing now going on in this city,
on the corner of Sixth avenue and Liberty
street, Ko. 646, informs the public that
owing to the immense rush and the success
that has been derived since the opening last
Thursday, and especially yesterday's trade,
the sale will not be in progress to-morrow
as the large corps of salesmen will be kept
busy from noon till night straightening
stock.
Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock the doors
will again be thrown open to the public,
and all those who are in need of clothing
will do well to wait If they do, they will
have no occasion to forget it
