Our Commercial Correspondencc.

The weekly letter of our New York correspondent.
will be found in another column 1t contains matter of
great Interest both to manufacturers and agr
culturists The export of breadstufs still continues,
and the demand for cotton sustained an advanced
price and in the face of large supplies. The free trade
principles of the bill of 1916 may now be con.
sidered fully vndcated They have been denounced
for years visionary bit how they have been subject
ed 10 the test of experience, and have than fulfilled
the expectations Of their supporters. While the market
for our agricultural productions abroad has been extend
ed without producing commercial embarrassment by the
reception of foreign goods in payment liberal TERMS
the great consuming interests of the country have been
enabled TO become better customers the manufacturers
OF the North We accordingly fnd that since the pres.
ent laws went INTO operations onr imports have
been large enough under low duties increase the eve-
mics Of the government millions of dollars
per annum Our export has been sufficiently great to pre-
vent unavoabe balance OF trade while the general
prosperity which sound commercial and financial policy
has occasioned enables manufacturers enlarge
their establishments and extend their operations. This
latter fact is fully established BY the information which
correspondent furnishes; for the statistics which he
presents, show that the amount of cotton taken by the
manufacturers of the United States has increased more
rapidly since the present law went into operation
than il did under the tariff of 1912 Under that
tariff the whole increase in four years i,747
bales, while it has aready--n less than three
years-amounted TO 10000 bales under the present
revenue laws This estimate omts the quantities taken
from the plantations for the Of the manufactures now
sprhgng up in the South which is estimated at rs 900
bales for the last year, and 100000 bales for the present
year. And il is encouraging TO reflect that the labor of
the country receives its full share of the benefits which
this increased manufacture confers When manufactures
high, the consumption is limited, and the of
capital and labor in tile form OF machinery receive near.
all the benefit of production; but when they low,
the consumption is increased, and much greater amount
of the material is necessarily consumed and the Ia
Dor employed in producing the material receives its
due share of the value of the product The operation of
This principle is stated with great simplicity and force by
our correspondent and it is of great practical i'm
porance trust of readers will fail TO give
his letter an attentive consideration.
