Inc Locoioco stump orators are continually

Now, how can we hope, IN face Of these
duties, touch TO England anJ7essat amount Of
agricultural products She never buys any Of
us unless she Is compelled TO do il BY the neees-
sites Of her people and those necessities she
can, in ordinary cases, supply far more chsaply
with grain from the Baltic and Black Seas han
from the United States. She has repeatedly and
recently declared she will not repeal or ,redpce
these duties; and. though We nssy make laws to
admit every lhifg she makes into ibis country
dusv free, il would scarcely increase me exporta-
ton Of our farmers products single bushel.-

that We can sell moIe there hereafter than we

the returns for series of yeats We shall see that
the amount sold has actually diminished, not
withstanding the vast increase cf population IN

sold in foreign markets 500 a27 barrels Of beef

1884 to 1910 only S 707, $50 This reductions
took place, moreover, while. our duties were
