Fort Worth weekly gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1890-12-04

by experience and the evil 8uSuries as
to Its results. COMPOUNDED by the market
reports, savings banks, international
trade balances and the general proper
~ OF our people.
Already We begin to hear from abroad
and from our custom houses that the
prOhibitory effect upon importation i'm
puted 10 the act is nc; justified. Imports
at the port of New York for the first
three weeks of November were nearly
per cent. greater than for the same
period in 1889, and 90 per cent. greater
than In the same period of 1883, and sc
far from being an act 10 limit exports
confidently believe that under ii We shall
secure larger and more profitable partic-
iDation in foreign trade than we have
ever enjoyed, and that we shall receive
proportionate participation in the ocean
carrying trade OF the world. The criti-
clsms of the bill that have come to US
from foreign sources may well be rejected
for repugnancy. If these critics really
believe that the adoption by US OF free
trade policy or of the tariff rates, having
reference solely to revenues would dimin-
ism the participation OF their own coun-
tries i'll the commerce OF the world. Their
advocacy and promotion to speech and
movement among our people in rare
exhibition of unseltishuess in trade, and,
on the other hand, if they sincerely be-
iieSe that the adoption of q
PROTECTIVE TARIFF POLICY
by this country lusures to their profits
and our hurt, il is noticeably strange
they should LEAD the outcry against the
authors of policy so helpful to their
countrymen and crown with their fervor
who would snatch from them substan-
tial share of a trade with other lands,
already inadequate to their necessities.
There is no disposition among any of our
people to promote prohibitory or retaiia-
tory Legislation. Our policies are
adopted, not to the hurt OF others, but
to secure for ourselves those advantages
that fairly grew out of our favored posi-
ton as o nation. Our form of govern
mtnt, with its incident of universal SUI
frage. makes 1t imperative that we shall
save our working people from the agl-
tAtion AMI Gstresses which scnnt work
and wages that have no margin for COM
fort always beget. But after all this Is
done it will be found that our markets
are open to friendly commercial ex-
changes OF enormous value TO the other
great powers. From the time of nv i'll
ductiou into Office the duty OF the using
of every power and influence given by
law to the executive department for the
development of larger markets for our
products, especially our farm products,
has been kept constantly i'll mlni, and
no effort has been or will be spared to
promote that end. We are under no
iisadv in any foreign market,
except that We pay our workinen aud
wOrkwcmen better wages than are paid
Observation-Disclosures aGsrrnctly and better
relatively to the neceSsnrips of life. DO
not doubt that u very largely increased
foreign trade is accessible to us without
burtering for either our home market for
such p oducts of the farm and shop rs
our own people can supply or the wages
of our working people. In many of the
products of wood aud iron, and in meats
and Drendstufs. We hive advantages
that only need better facilities of inter-
course and transportation to secure for
them large foreign markets.
THE RECIPROCITY CLAUSE
of the tariff act wisely and effectively
opens the way to secure a large recipro-
cal tra1e III exchange for the fres adj
mission to our ports of certain products.
The right of Ini pendent nations to
make special reciprocal trades conces-
