Abstract

The Week
March 9, 1893 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information on socio-political conditions in the world during 1893. The clause of the Sundry Civil Bill known as the Sherman Bond Amendment was dropped in order to save the bill itself from defeat, as it became evident that the silverites in the U.S. House would adopt filibustering tactics against the bill if the conferees should report in favor of this section. France has completed a year's experience of her new high-protection regime, and the results are not satisfactory. Even counting in the enormous imports of January a year ago, made in anticipation of the new tariff, the record for the year 1892 shows a falling off of over 7 per cent in importations.
