OVERPRODUCTION.

OVERPRODUCTION.
The free traders find voice in the
midst of dull times, to cry out that
we are suffering from "overprod O.
tion;" that our manufactures are on
too great scale, and that we have
the means of manufacturing far
more than we can consume; that We
have overproduced largely and that
we are suffering from overproduc-
ton. Of course this is a putting of
"the cart before the horse" the
confounding of cause and effect.
Stocks are left on manufacturers
and dealers hands because the con-
sumers have not the means to buy.
Overproduction is the result of bust
ness depression, not its cause.
Mr.. Robert t. Porter has compil-
ed statistics of our imports for the
five years, from 1880 to 1854, inclu-
sive-be it noted that this brings us
up to the beginning of this present
month and year-which show clearly
that we buy abroad every year
enormously of the very things we
are able to manufacture ourselves ;
that is, we have the raw material,
and of course the skill necessary to
manufacture them, and they are the
very lines of goods which we man.
ufacture largely. We reproduce
below his summary of eleven differ
ent classes, each embracing an enor.
NOUS variety of different articles,
the manufacture of which is carried
on in the United States, but which
nevertheless, we import largely
The column of dollars gives the
average value of the imports OF
these manufactured goods for each
of the FIVE years mentioned:
Wool and manufactures of. $40, 600, Oo
Iron and steel rails, manufactures of.46, 700, OO
Manufactures of silk "a SOC, OO

Glass and manufactures of............ 4, Cox, 90
Embroderies, silk, linen, etc..........3, 400, 90
That is, since January l, 1880, tn,
United States has purchased abroad
$l,204, 100000 worth of the elias
of goods that we are abb
to make in this country. IsoeEo
hundred and four millions Of dollar
paid out to the manufacturers anC
workingmen of Europe, that coult
and should have been paid to GU
own mechanics and wage workers.
Does this look like overproduction
To buy abroad in five years thi
enormous amount of manufactures
and then to say that business is de
pressed and times are hard becaus
we are producing too much, is alb
surd.
This money should have been KEEP
at home. We should have mad
these goods instead of buying them
We should have kept our own ma
chinery and workingmen busy, an
held our home market for our HON
producers. Had THU $24O,0O0,00
which we sent abroad every year TO
the past five years, been kept a
home by such policy, would time
be as hard to-day as they are
Every year we have sent out of GU
own country an average of over s

child in all this broad land. Their

this which needs prompt remedy.
