THE MARKETS OF THE WORLD.
Effect of Protective Tariff Upon Gu
FOREIGN Trade.

Effect of Protective Tariff Upon Our
Foreign Trade.
One of the most frequent assertions OF
the advocates of Free-trade is that high
tariff restricts the American market,
that it interferes with our foreign trade,
that it prevents the farmers from buying
in the cheapest market and selling in the
dearest. A comparison of our exports
and imports during high and low tariff
periods indicates that these assertions
are not true.
In the last ten years of low tariff, from
1850 to 1850, our total exports were
SO, 141 ,487, 1902, and our total imports
81, SOC, 1850, 935; the excess of imports over
exports, 1854 1873, 043. During the last
ten years of high tariff our exports have
been 6,847 ,4s6, 1876; our imports, S. sol,
S14 1856; excess of exports over imports,
81 ,345, 671 $500 (paid partly by return of
our bonds and stocks and partly in gold
and silver.
In 1883, the year the tariff was reduced,
our imports and exports amounted to
81 ,547 ,020, 316, while in 1886 they were
but 81 ,314 $3.50, 1865, a falling off of $3.50,
059, $50. Since the defeat of the Morri-
son Tariff bill in the summer Of 1886,
however, our foreign trade has been rap
idly increasing, and as nearly rs per cent.
of our exports are farm products, farm
ers will see clearly that our foreign trade
in these products is very much greater UNI
der high than under low tariff. Dur
ing the ten years of low tariff referred to,
there was but one year when our exports
exceeded our imports; while, during the
last eleven years of high tariff, there has
not been single year when our imports
were greater than our exports. Our
foreign trade, instead Of being 1854 1878,
DAB against us, as it was under the ten
years of low tariff, has been 81 ,345 ,671,
800 in our favor in the ten years of high
tariff, making difference of 81, no. :
903 in favor of the high tariff.
The statement is often made that if we
make our markets free foreign countries
will buy more from us; but facts do not
prove this statement to be true. We buy
and sell more with foreign countries I'M
der high than under low tariff, for
the reason that high tariff stimulates
manufacturing industries, gives more
constant employment to the working
classes and gives them better wages; they
make more money and are more prosper
GUS, and they consume more of both for
eign and domestic products as a result.
Again, by manufacturing large por-
ton of the goods we consume, we keep
the money which it costs to produce
these goods at home, which adds greatly
not only to the wealth of our people in
dividually, but to the wealth of the ma
ton, for, as before stated, we grow rich
nearly twice as fast when we make all
we consume as we do when we buy half
of foreigners.

the United States, $3.50; in Great Britain,
$1.85, and in Belgium, 60 cents; in car
petings in the United States, $1.51, and
in Great Britain, $l,20. -sS'
The arguments given in reference to
our manufacturing industries have been
negative, tending to show that they
would receive no appreciable advantages
from having raw materials free. There
are, however, positive arguments tend
ing to show that advantages accrue to
she manufacturing industries from pol
Icy which secures fair measure of pros
perity to the producers of raw materials.
The American manufacturer depends for
a market for his wares mostly upon those
engaged in other American industries.
Anything, then, which contributes to the
prosperity of these benefits him through
the increasing demand for his products.
A prosperous condition among the farm
ers, the wool growers, the miners, the
wage earners who are engaged in the
production of raw materials reflects it.
self in the stimulus given to the business
of the manufacturer, who supplies the
former with finished commodities.
1t is a false ambition, as well as a
wrong policy, which would seek to ex-
tend our foreign markets, and by so doing
injure the efficient demand of the home
market. The question is fairly presented
when we consider that the conditions
are just these: We can get raw materials
no cheaper than England and other man.
ufacturing nations. When they have
been transformed into finished produc-
tons we can find no nearer market, nor
can we find any place where our wares
will command higher prices. Such are
the conditions of manufacture. The
question then narrows itself largely to
one of labor and wages.
If our laborers will consent to accept
less wages and the lower standard Of liv-
ing which n entails, and wages enough
lower to enable American manufacturers
to compete with foreign labor, we can
hope to rival foreign manufacturing
countries whose other conditions are sub
stantially the same as ours. 1t will be a
sorry day for America when her work
men in the factories and mills accept,
either from choice or necessity, the
wages and standard of living prevailing
in her majesty's dominions. Our manu-
featuring industries will continue to pros
per, not from having raw materials free,
but from having an active home demand,
which results from a prosperous condi-
ton of those in other industries, and
among them the producers of raw ma
terials.
