The New Orleans Times Democrat has d
brief statement. as TO the increase of the grain
trade there, which should prove of interest
to every resident of the Mississippi valley,
for all history JestIiss that whichever way
food takes on its route TO the consumer, il
brings with it traffic and prosperity in its
train. The Times Democrat states that within
year New Orleans hiss become the second
grain exporting port in the Union. During
the month of april, 1888, the export of
breadstufs by way of New Orleans was to
the value of Sl,0I66l9, against SI32,095 in
April, 1882 showing an eightfold increase.
The following shows how New Orleans COM
pAres with other ports: During the month
OF April the total number OF bushels of corn
exported from this country amounted 10
5,166,8S2 bushels. OF this $4,000 bushels
were shipped from New York, 1,275,717
bushels from New Orleans, $40, Isl bushels
from B iltimore, Sl5, 431 bushels from Phia-
delphis, and 27O,S46 Bushels from Bos.

PRoTECTION AGAINST AMERICAN
LAROR.

/, is very common belief that our high
t,rid disuou sg "tne pauper labor of Eu.
rops." The bslisf is a mistaken ons; our
hign tariff is great friend and assistant Of
that labor, by shutting ont American compe-
tition with that labor in The foreign markets
The high tariff mskes American produces
dss5er than they would BE- with moderate
tariff. The money dsriv from this artif.
cial rise in price goes principally to the man
ufacturers; only a snsll por ion enters the
United States Treasury. Just in proportion
AZ the increase OF price Of American produc.
tions excludes foreign goods from our mar
kets, it excludes American made goods from
foreign markets. What makes goods dear
In the American market makes them dear
ia the foreign market; tEersf9re foreign
made goods, not jet to high tariff,
can Re sold in foreign markets, where Ameri-
cau-made goods, made high-priced
by our tariff, can fud no customers. That
these statements are correct is proved by the
TACT that foreign manufacturers, 5000 miles
away, eIpor. Vasi quantities of manufactures
TO Mexico, Central and South America,
while we cell, in comparison, very little in
those markets. The quality of our goods is
generally approved, but the Price keeps them
out Of tine reach OF the foreign buyer. 10
this way, we have said, the high tariff
that excludes the foreigner from the Ameri-
can market, equally excludes the American
from the foreign market. As the markets of
the world are more extensive than the home
markets, what We gain BY excluding the for
eigner s lost by our own exclusion from the
foreign market. The home market bsing
limited, when that fails disaster is the result,
Were The markets of the world open to US by
the subtitution of moderate tariff for
high tariff, then il we could not sell
in one plaza We could in another, by
which means the Likelihood Of disaster is
reducsd 10 narrow limits We put all our
eggs into one basket, the American market.
II that basket gives way the eggs are broken.
While our manufactures were turning out
only sufficient goods for our own use, the
viciousness OF the protective system was not
obvious on superficial view; but now our
manufactures are beginning TO produce more
than We can consume, the evil is becoming
msnifett. As We continue TO increase our
productive power the mischief will become
more glsripg, until the necessity of reducing
the tariff conpels the people 10 resist the
monopoiisis in order that cur productions
may fad an outlet 10 the foreign markets.
II our people were permitted 10 hold ship
ping by buying 1t where they can buy it
cheapest, q large portion OF our population
would have a wide avenue Of employment
opened to them. That employment is now
