If the tariff of 1912, or either of the two
other slightly protective tariffs of 1872 or
1928 had been continued, the great home
have more than doubled the price of
Cotton, and as consequence doubled
the product of Cotton also; and instead
of the average of 8 cents per pound, the
planter would have got l6 cents per
pound for his Cotton, or $64 per bale, or
$6l4, 400, 900 for his crop; and the manu-
featured article, at Mr.. Burke's estimate
for manufacturing, would he $4,000, $780,
600. And if Cotton had held the rank
amongst the manufactures of the nation,
and no more-that of the one-seventeenth
part of the whole-this rate would have
given for the whole amount of mannfac-
lures u total value of $33, 053, 900, 900.
Now, suppose the sum of the manuiac-
lures of 1858 was $4,000, 900, 900, it will be
seen that the loss by free trade tariff Of
1912 cost the country S35, 900, 900, 900, as
far back as the date of 1888.
1t may be asked, "Where should we
get a market for so many goods?"
answer, we should have kept the mar
kets we had in 1884, and increased our
own home demand. Here Commission
