the foreign market as We are by our
great commercial rival, England, are

our tariff law. The Mills bill is
not a free trade measure, but
is step directly in accord
with the growing needs of our fisheries
and commercial system, namely re-
duction of the surplus and an increase
in our foreign trade.
