' ' CUSTOM DUTIES . v There is so much said about the' tariff we lay on goods from foreign countries, and so little about the tariff other countries impose on things we export that many people seem io think the United States is the ' only nation that maintains a "robber's tariff." This Is not the case. Every civilized nation has a tariff schedule. Even "free trade Eng land" collects a tariff on twenty articles and in 1895 collected thereon $98,000,- 000. Among the list -of commodities that England levies a tariff on that are produced in the United States are dried fruits, currants, figs, prunes and raisins and tobacco in loaf and manufactured. Canada has custom house charges on nearly, if not on everything we export there. On every barrel of flour we sell the Canadians there is a tariff charsre of 60 cents, on wheat the tariff is 12 cents a bushel, on corn 7 cents per bushel, on rye and oats 10 cents per bushel. In Germany the tariff on our flour is $2.21 per barrel and 82 'cents and mills on each bushel of wheat, and the new tariff act which goes into operation March 1st 1906 the tariff on a barrel of flour from the United States will be $3.9 and on a bushel of wheat 48 cents and 6 mills. France puts f tariff of $271 on first class-flour. $2.31 on second class. and $1.89 on third class. We have to pay 36 cents and 8 mills on our wheat before it can enter the French market Austria-Hungary has a tariff charge on our flour of $1.16 a barrel and 1 cents and J mills on each bushel of wheat - Italy charges as ' tariff $2.11 ori barrel of flour and 39 cents and 4 mills for the privilege of offering for sale in that country a bushel of wheat and for corn the charge is 36 cent and 7 mills, for rye 22 cents and 1 mill, for barley 16 cents and 8 mills and for oats cents and 2 .mills. ' ' ' Portugal has a tariff . charge of 68 cents and 8 mills on every bushel of wheat we export there 49 cents and 4 mills for corn,43 cents and 9 mills for rye, 37 cents, and 3 mills for barley and 25 cents and 1 mill per bushel of oats, The tariff charge on a barrel of flour exported from the United States to Spain is $1.20, and on a bushel of wheat it is 21 cents and about the same for other grains.' . - '-" ; ." ; Belgium charges 34 cents and 3 mills on a barrel of flour; lets wheat rye and barley in free an d charges 8 cents and 4 mills on a buehel of oats. : : We pay millions of dollars every year to the several countries we trade with for the privilege of offering our goods- for sale there and at the same, time try to play even by charging them for the privi lege of selling their ;. products """in our country. 1";. "- -v Each nation charges the others peddler's license. . . - The principal sources of the increase in the gold production compared with that of 1903, are easily traceable. Colorado added nearly $2,000,000 to. her pro duction of 1903umost of this amount coming from the mines of Cripple Creek Nevada's output increased about the same amount chiefly by reason of 'the phenomenal yields of the Goldfleld mines The greatest progress is reported in Cali fornia, whose produbtion exceeds that of 1903 by $5,300,000, the increase being caused partly by a strong development of the quartz min'ng industry and to a less degree by the activity, of the dredgers Alaska :. and Arizona, show increased yields. A number of states show smaller increases while Utah, Montana and Wash ington have less gold to their credit in 1904 than in 1903. ' The increase of value in the production of silver of $2,713,378 is , somewhat evenly distributed among ' the various states and territories, but is to some extent due to the better price of silver obtained. Colorado leads with an ' in crease of $970,320. California. Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Utah also added considerable value to their silver pro duction, 'v.
