OF course foreigners and importers bit
terly oppose this bill. They say that the
bill is an attempt to shut Of foreign trade,
To these protests Mr.. Mckinleys reply is
direct and convincing. He defends the
bill as zap American bill made for Amer
can interests. and wants foreign nations
TO understand that I'VE did not desire TO
interfere with their legislation, and admon
ish them to keep their hands of ours
Much had been said about our foreign
trade and commerce, and our vast domes
tic commerce had been ignored. What
boots ii that the products Of the great
West find their markets 10 New York and
Chicago rather than in Europe. Why
shonld we pass over the best market of the
world our own msfket?.
Notwithstanding oil Of these croskings,
however, we were now exporting more
products than at any time in our history.
Our exports had increased 50 per cent.
more than the exports from free trade
Great Britain While Great Britain had,
between 1870 aud 1880, lost 10 per cent. OF
her commerce, the United States bad gain
ed % per cent. and with the same aid to
shipping that Great Britain gave the ships
Of the United States would pillow every sea
under the American flag, IN successful
competition with the ships of the world.
On our Atlantic coast this year would be
produced 100. 900 tons OF shipping, built
by American workmen, OF American ma.
terial. We have enjoyed twenty niue
years OF continuouc protection the long,
est period since the foundation OF the gov.
eminent and found ourselves in greater
prosperity than at any other time. In the
arts and sciences, in wealth, in national
honor, We are at the front.
