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

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
and even the Canadian tariff, taxes 0

The citizen is forced to buy the manu-
factured product of his own country and
while paying a higher price on account of
the duty, his money goes to enrich the P
