IS THERE A DEMAND ?
DOES THE COUNTRY REALLY WANT
TARIFF REVISION?

"There Is, however, as yet, nj real
demand from the ordinary citizen for a
change in the tariff and will not be
unless there is a very serious trade de,-
pression, which at present is not
likely."
This is the official testimony of the
British consul, Mr. Finn, stationed at
Chicago, inn report regarding trade
and industrial conditions in the district
which comprises the territory he rep
resents, made to his majesty's govern
ment through the foreign oiiico. It is
not the testimony of an enthusiastic
protectionist American, but is that of
a British official who, doubtless in the
j>if ts of the foreign trade of his
i. *,.i,, yi&wn in the British kingdom,
\ uld much like to see evidences that
i 'if is a demand among the American
i >pic for a revision of the tariff of
is i i,mtry and n scaling down of the
rate el' Import duties.
Fn i his station in Hie central north
vest of the United States, in his otfi
einl report to the foreign office, the Brit
i:• fi consul tells his people at home
that there is no real demand from the
o-dinury citizen for . a 'change in the
American tariff system, lie makes this
statement in Hie face of the clamors of
certain of our tariff revision politicians
and so called independent newspapers
that the northwest is aflame with the
demand for tariff revision. Consul
l inn would make it his business to as
certain the facts, and he would not he
inclined to keep the facts from British
manufacturers who are desirous of get
ting goods into the American markets
at l.i .or customs duties if there was
the slightest "real demand" among the
people of (he west for such changes in
the tariff system. Willi his training as
a Brir. U representative of the foreign
( lieu, born to conservatism and careful
> tatement of the facts, British Consul
! inn Ulls the manufacturers and ex
porters of Great Britain through his
official report that there is no real do
l ind for a change in the tariff among
the American people in the territory
covered by his consular district.
This report by a British consul sta
tinned In the Clifted States contains
much valuable information wliioh
Aaierlcans'may study with profit. It
i; a recent publication, having been
i i ee: ed at the British foreign office
mi May in, was immediately printed, I
and copies of it have been received |
here. The report covers more than 100 j
pages of closely printed matter and I
disci!•■•'os in detail trade and industrial ;
conditions throughout the northwest- |
ern states. Including the markets and
trade conditions in a half dozen prin- j
eipal cities and the trade and indus- I
tries of a dozen states and two uTrl- |
