THE MURNING GUARDIAN

1iroNnaYJaN 1a 1904. CUSTOMS DilTiES.

The Unltnd States is a country where s

notoriously high customs tar-ltr prevails. Britain le spoken of as a free trade coun- try. II a company of persons were asked in which ofthe two great Anglo-Saxon countries the higher amount of -customs duties is paid per head of population nine out of ten ‘would probably say, the United S'ates. And yet the answer wouldbc wrong. Strange as it may ap- DOU, the people of the United Kingdom . phy more customs duty per head of popu- lation than the people of the l'uited States.

In the last year for which wc have the

figures the customs collections in the United Kingdom, (reckoning $5 to the pound sterling) were $155,000,000. In the

same year the collecrion from customs in the United States was $L'.5~i,(lXl.iX`l(). The population of the R-public being about double that of the Kingdom, it is clear that the customs taxes per head actually paid are considerably less in the Republic. The exact figures as stated by the New York Tribune, are $3.44 per head in thc

United States and $4.15 in Great Britain. store a quantity Of sand b0IUl‘8 Wihivl'

The British customs tarifi is framed to

produce revenue and for that purpose

alone. The American tariff is a protect- f ive one. The British tariil` covers only a a few articl~s. Almost all the customs f

revenue in Britain is derived from the lm-

port duties on tobacco, sugar, ben, spirits, n wine, coffee, cocoa, chiccry,beor and dried W

fruits, and the export duty on coal. Al- l must all other arilcles are admitted free

of duty, including breadstuffs, meats, `t lah and allllnes of manufactures. It is 5

because of this very extensive free list g, that Britain is known as a free trade B

factured product of his own country and while paying a higher price on account of

the duty, his money goes to enrich the P

Backed up by over a third of u century

An ergerlence which many women hsvewas

related y Miss Agree Stgbblngs, of 231 East. goth Street, New ork City, as follows; “I nd ver? poor health for a year until life looked ar and dreary to ure. Had head- aches, backache. also pam. my sleep was broken and htful. I longed for health. Tried several medicines but none were of any last- ing benefit until I took Doctor Pienes Pa- vcrite Prescription. I soon realized that I had found the right remedy. It helped nature

to throw ol' the poisons that saturated the system, removed al pains and strengthened t e digestive organs, and brouxght the roses of health hack to my cheeks. his medicine if

taken occasionally keeps thc system in gerfcct condition, helping it to throw oil' the isease

and consequences of exposure to dampnesa. I am please to give it my endorsement."

women strong, sick women well. Ac-

ccgt no substitute for the medicine w ich works wonders for weak women.
