eliminating and in measure prohibiiive
duties against our tobacco. wheat, cotton
and food products generally. Similar
threats-not so authoritative. however
have been reported from England, Ger
many and quite recently from France.
The Democratic and Mugwump papers.
and those of the Republican persuasion
who voice the sentiments of selfish 'free
raw MATERIAL manufacturers-princi
in New Engiand-have quoted these threats
and made them the chief basis of their ap-
peals for the defeat of the bill.
Those who expect these threats to exert
q controlling influence on American legis-
lation or politics have placed low estimate
on American intelligence and patriotism.
Intelligent citizens know that those coun-
tries have not been buying our cotton, to-
bacco or food products from sentiment or
choice. They buy them only because they
must do so to supply the pressing needs of
their people. They buy them because they
cannot get along without them. They
must have them, be their duties high or
low. BY an increase of duty upon them
they simply increase their cost to their own
people. and cannot by any such process
people will sell.
The manufactures which we buy from
them, on the other hand, are not necessary
to keep our people from suffering. In an
emergency we can make the same or SUBJ
stitute articles, or can do without either.
The products we sell to them are but our
surplus, small fraction of the whole; the
great bulk being consumed at home. We
can live. thrive and prosper without selling
pound OF that surplus abroad. They
would starve If cut off from our surplus
wheat and other food products, and thous-
ands of their factories would be compelled
to close If deprived of our cotton.
But if it was otherwise; if the sale of this
surplus were essential to the highest pros
perity of our people; even if the threatened
retaliation should entail some degree OF in
convenience or suffering. our people would
submit to any conceivable deprivation
from this source rather than allow a
Kalnoky or Salisbury, or a Caprivi or
Ribot to dictate the legislation of this
country on great question of
economic policy. Each of these countries
has adjusted its tariff on the line
which each considered most advantageous
to its own government and people.
None of them have consulted the United
States on the subject The United States
has never presumed TO counsel nor advise
on the subject, nor to send out flaming
manifestoes to influence their action.
