The Secretary reviews our carrying trade
with foreign countries. The imports and eX-
ports for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1872,
excluding gold and silver, amounted to
81 .07O.6il 1852, and of this vast trade only
2S1 per cent. were in American vessels. In
1860 nearly II per cent. of our foreign com,
merce was in American ships. In 1854 it had
fallen to GA per cent. in 1868 to A per cent,
and In 1871 to less than 3S per cent. The
earnings of vessels in the foreign trade pro-
baby exceed one hundred million dollars,
and less than one-third under our flag. The
Secretary regards the drawback allowed by
Congress on ship-buldlng as inadequate, and
unless there is liberal md comprehensive
policy there can be no speedy change. !,

Der, is more surprising still. And yet the
free-traders Indignantly deny that either
they or their enterprises, are in any way
influenced by foreign capital, or by favors
conferred BY them.
1t is safe to meet this denial with the
fact that seyenty-five per cent. of all the
advertising in the free-trade journals of the
country, comes, either directly or Indirect
ly, from foreign capitalists. Any one can
satisfy himself of the truth of this assertion
by examining the publications in question.
The fact is, that the basis Of the free-trade
party, as well as all the underlying props
that support it, are foreign, not American,
There is nothing inherently support
ing the party here. 1t derives its
entire support from foreign interests
as arrayed against the domestic
industry of the country. Any newspaper
having its eyes open to the "main chancen
of advertising profit to its columns, can
easily secure its proportion of foreign
patronage in the advertising line, by put.
ting itself squarely against protection to
American industry. Wherever any jour.
nal does this without an eye to the "main
chance" the proof is conclusive that it is
under very stupid and unbusiness-ike
management.
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1872-02-08

EVERY so-called revenue tariff which we
have ever adopted has proved failure Of
its avowe1 purpose, a catastrophe to the
treasury, and blight to the business in-
dustries of tie country, The only success
full revenue tariffs have been those which
were strictly protective. The practical re-
suits of all the tariffs, with their modfica-
tons, from 1916 to 1871, have been such as
utterly to demolish the wretchedly UNI
meaning aphorisms employed by the free
traders to array the protective system Of
the country against the interests of foreign
trade; while the mischief that has been
done to our domestic labor and enterprise
by low tariffs, is almost incalculable.
These are propositions susceptible of de-
monstration by the most conclusive facts
and figures, and will only be denied by
those who set these elements Of proof ut
terly aside in their arguments against pro-
lection,
