The Prssdsnts Message The Commercial Condition
OF the Csuntsy.
We do not intend to enter into detailed rela.
tive TO tina, portion OF the message which treats Of the
commercial condition OF the country, before the publca
ton of The report OF the Secretary of the Treasury But
the President has brought forward statements and prn
cples which do no, need examination of the treasury
report to enable the public TO understand them To a
portion OF these we wish to devote a few words mas
much as they have been made subjects of comment by
the wing press.
The President refers TO and the recommends.
tons in his last annual message OF general revision
and alteration OF the law OF 1885, IN order TO
make it more protective in lis character, by re-
turn TO the higher duties OF the tariff OF 1872 and by
king the duties specific wherever practicable. We do
not to repeat at this time The arguments by which
the philosophy Of revenue system has been hereto
fore maintained but our purpose Is TO expose the
allacies by which it is attempted 10 weaken IN pub
lie estimation the testimony which experience has
given OF the soundness of that philosophy In or.
der TO perform that task, it is hardly necessary to
remind the country OF the systematic efforts OF the
whg party to account for the success OF the demo-
cratic policy by referring il to temporary causes II was
at fret foretold that immediate and crushing ruin would
follow the enactment of the revenue bill The iasifca
ton OF tina, prophecy attributed to the Irish famine,
which occasoned sudden increase in the export Of
breadstufs in 1877, and the day OF ruin postponed
only until the abatement OF the famine should abate the
effective foreign demand for breadsus But the country
continued prosperous despite OF the Mexican war. and
regardless OF the unprecedented agitation which
vulsed the commercial nations OF Europe Peace was
and the agitation which convulsed those nations
to which we were bound by intimate commercial arrange
ments passed away, leaving us enjoying unprece-
den,ed prosperity. The Taylor administration found
M ENJOYING this prosperity in March, 1919; and yet Mr.
Meredith in his report Of Decembero Of that year. chmed
in with the camos OF the pro,econisis and endeavored
TO show on wing principles that the day OF overthrow

surely nigh at hand He insisted that Of i'm
port over export must soon create foreign debt, which
would cripple our industry produce an inability TO i'm
port and destroy the revenues Of the government But
the year 1850 passed showing increased revenue
increased commerce., and increased prosperity But.
nevertheless, Mr.. Corwn. in bis last annual report
renewed the assault on the revenue laws, and re-
newed the forebodnsA Of the near approach Of in
es,mable sufFerings He overlooked the fac, that an

would think that, after these signal failures in financial
foresight, we would not be called upon to desert system
which has 30 completely discounted it's enemies and be
advised. at time OF great prosperity, to change
policy in accordance with the forebodngs Of who
have foreseen rightly Bat Mr.. Fillmore
the oftepeated warnings OF the wing party He cannot
shake of his proclivy for class legislation give up
bis preudces when their groundlessnnss exposed
by the results of experience. He compares our foreign
trade with what it was year ago. and finds that our
domestic exports have increased than forty three
millions OF dollars. But that fact gives him no hopes
for the future He looks for some temporary cause,
and finds that cotton has fallen, and argues that
the increase in our domestic imports occasion.
ed by the high prices OF that article at the first
part OF the year, and that its fall has reduced
and must continue to reduce, the domestic export The
President to have conceived that there is
limit TO the trading capacities of foreign nations that
their purchases must depend upon their sales The trade
between nations is essentially system OF barter II
unusual demand enhanced the price Of cotton the first
part OF the year. then il required larger portion OF the
available at the disposal OF foreign nations to pur
chase our RICE tobacco. and other productions Had il
not been for the high price OF cotton during the
first portion Of the year, it is reasonable to suppose
that our other products would have borne better
price during thai time; for the manufacturing nations
would have had larger fund at their disposal with
which to furnish an effective demand for them. The
facts stated by Mr. Fillmore fully sustain these views
and should have induced him infer that the fall in the
price Of cotton did not diminish exports to the
amount OF that dimnution. but furnished these nations
which purchased cotton OF the either to take
larger quantity OF that other productions OF American
labor Wing statesmen are ready enough TO i'm.
pose limits on American commercial capacity; bu, they
seem TO be utterly unable TO understand how the com
mercal capacity OF England OF the other nations which
trade with u.s. can be limited They will not see that we
cannot carry export trade unless we also carry on
an import trade or that refuse to receive the products
OF foreign labor our must perish Hence they
have always believed in the allacy that the excess OF
expo, marks the prohabeness Of trade, as if merchant
could be deemed prosperous who paid out to Others in
goods and money, than he received from others in
goods and money We shall pursue this point further al
