rAIToN,
My honored friend Major Mckinley
said today, with the figures at his com.
mand, that In the trade In the United
States and Canada under tho reciprocity
treaty OF iS5i-lsG5, which has boon 80
much denounced hero by many, the ball
ance OF trade was I'm favor OF Canada, My
friend Is I'M error He took into account
Quebec aud Ontario, while our trade was
with all the Canadian provinces and
theirs with ~, Yet during those ton years
OF reciprocity trade had 80 much de-
prociatcd, and, unfair as was,
agroO with my colleague In many
rcspects-wo had the advantage on
the balance sheet OF over SGO,0OO,OOO, and
In tho last forty years IN the trade be-
tween tho Canadian provinces and
ourselves, the balance Ia our favor 10
over S2b0OOO0OO. Strange, Is II not,
against our countrymen on the north, In
whose veins courses the same blood that
courses In our own, united 20 us by dos
tiny which IN above the control of Kings
or Of Congress, we shut the door we
refuse even, 10 accept their lumber,
but sond our children sholierlcss 10
bed rather than have fair OK
change with them But that is not
all. Behold, we have just expended
establish unrestricted reciprocal trade
with iihy millions OF people south OF us
OF the Latin race. How stands the bnl-
anco OF trade with them during the last
forty years? Two billion one hundred
million dollars against us. The Ave mill
Hons Of kinsmen north OF us have bought
of us S2JOOOO,0OO worth during that time
IN oxcess OF what we purchased from
them. What ! Insist upon is that enlarge
N.aaut ~ pnnoFtunitV Ia whit Ia 1pairpb.
and as you multiply facilities you enlarge
opportunity.
SHILLING 10 FOREIGNERS CHEAPER THAN
TO OUR OWN PEOPLE.
There was some controversy, Mr.. Chair
man, during the discussion here as 70
whether our manufactures sell outside OF
che United States cheaper than they do at
home. assert here, II / can believe the
manufacturer, this: That many Of them
do sell 10 all nations OF the earth cheaper
than they do at home. Laughter and ap.
pnuse.l Icould call the witnesses, and N
/ could have them here and let them
swear with uplfted hand they would 30
aver, IApplause.l Does not that pro-
claim 10 the world that we have the ooign
OF vantage In this country In the line OF
those industriesY
committo 10 ono or two things which arc
deserving OF consideration. Here 10 an
ltom 10 establish the tlnplato industry In
this country. Now have made a careful
calculation and inquiry into this matter
and find that II will cost tho American
people to-day TO do just what is proposed,
that Ia, 10 establish plant TO supply the
Nation with Tin plate, from thirty millions
90 fifty millions OF dollars, which, II II can
live az all under the circumstances, ought
TO live with the present tariff. In other
words, take that item alone and there Is
not homo In America that will not con-
sribute 10 the plant OF this tin plato estab'
lsbment, they propose TO locate at Pitts
burg. There Is not family IN the land,
