Ill satisfy any Imam of judgment that
lere is not more than ten per cent. Of the
roduce of our country. which enters into
,reign trade, hence it follows that we
ave much greater means for the payment
domestic. than those of foreign manu- :
tcture. If the general condition of things |
i this vicinity were now the same as forty
ears ago, the taxes now imposed could
OF be paid by the grentest possible effort.
In 1915 one wagon load of produce
7ould stall the market of Wheeling. when, !
s at this time, hundreds of loads can be |
disposed of at an advance of more than
fifty per cent on the prices paid at the for
ner period. Many acticles of produce at
he former period could not be sold Mt any
,rice, are now in active demand at liberal
prices. All this has been the result of
now in active operation.
rhe prosperity of all countries is some
what in proportion to the multiplied forms
into which labor is divided, and the full /
development of no country can be reached
until this takes place in greater or less !
degree. Some in this locality and Cincin-
natl are uttering their anathemas against !
The contemplated tariff. of this present !
Congress. It is. represented that it will |
impose tax of from one to -twenty per
cent on sugar, and the legitimate conse-
quence that follows is, that the consumer
has to pay all this additional tax. Admit
this all to be true, it is only nominally so.
If the encouragement begun by govern
ment which the exigencies of the case re-
Quire, our sugar section of the United
States will be able to furnish a.snpply
equal to the consumption of the whole
country When the agricultural resources
of the western country are developed, it
can supply food for world. How convc-
nient now, rs we'll as then, it will be to
pay for sugar that we need in the produce
of our country, and that, too, at prices
vastly higher than if sent to foreign
mAeket. As the sugar estates are en-
larged, onr markets for produce will bein-
creased. The States bordering on the
Atlantic would have the same facilities
for the disposition of their produce in
payment for sugar, there could also be
superadded an immense amount and va
riety of manufactured articles. In 1851
Great Britain exported six hundred and
ten million dollars worth of manufactured
goods.
There is no doubt that the policy which
has led to such results with them, would
be profitable for US as q nation to observe.
