Free trade might enable US to compete in the worlds

would largely raise the price of the manufacturer PROD
the farmer of the United state, compete with the
farmer OF Eulopc, many OF whom are now his present
customers Win pr%R,r pHT2n and hHS ,1n,
and reduce the price Of manufactured ar

free trade that does not come logically though pro

compete successfully in the markets OF the world with
other countries and II that time never comes, the
nited States will never want free trade.
Experience and statistics show in the United state

stances advanced This Is the best possible answer 10
all frce-trade notions and ideas. Thirty ago We
did not Manufacture steel rails. and when we began
and the duN steel rails was made $23 ton they
Wc,s selling 1T Sl6O ton. since them not only mas
the price been reduced rm $50 to $50 per ton but
We have successfully established steel rail plants
throughout the country. No one be found who
would believe that il we had not protected the steel
raj! industry the price would have been reduced TO
what 1t il at present Take the case Of wire nails
ID to 1883 they were not manufactured In this
country 70 any extent and they sold for T'i

placed Oh wire nails, and last year, IN
reached 800, 900 Kegs and they have sold low a.
