ur Democratic trade and home Market,

! Our Democratic trade and home Market.
One or two comparisons will con-
vey some idea OF our stupendous
internal commerce. The tonnage
which passed through the Detroit
River alone during the ga days of
navigation in 1889 exceeded by 2,
468,127 tons the entire British
and foreign tonnage which entered
and cleared at London and Liver
pool that year in the foreign and
coastwise trade.
The freight which passed through
the ST. Mary's Falls Canal in 1890
exceeded by 2,257 ,876 tons the en-
tire tonnage of all nations which
passed through the Suez Canal in
1889.
The freight carried on railroads
of the United States in 1890 ex-
ceeded by over 36, 100000 tons the
aggregate carried on all the rail
Dads of Great Britain, Germany,
France and Russia in 1889.
Commodities are interchanged "a
mong our own people with greater
facility and at cheaper rates, dis
lance being considered, than in any
other country on earth.
The increase of national wealth
and prosperity, largely due to this
system of Protection to our home
markets and domestic trade, and to
the generous development of these
instrumentalities of commerce, has
become the marvel Of the world
Take few comparisons, based up
on the census of 1880, and upon fig
ures furnished dy Mr.. Mulhall, the
English statistican.
In manufactures we exceed Great
Britain in 1880 by ST, 579, $40, 191.
France by So, 115, 900, 600, and Ger
many by$2 ,3O5, 900, 600
In products of agriculture we ex-
celled Great Britain by 81, 425, 600
600, GRANGE by 1926, 0OO,OO0 and
Germany by$925, 600, 600.
Our earnings or income for 1880
from commerce, agriculture, mining
manufactures, the carrying trade
and banking exceeded those Of
Great Britain from the same sOurc-
es by $3.50, 600, 600, France by
So, 395 900 ,O00 and Germany by
50, 775, 600, 000
In 1880 our home markets con
sumed about $40, 900 900, 600 worth
of our own products, an amount
equal to the entire accumulated
wealth of Spain, three times the in
crease Of wealth in Great Britain
for ten years, and seven times the
increase of France for the same pc
Rod. Our home markets that year
absorbed five times as much of our
manufactured products as Great
Britain exported of hers to all the
markets of the world. From Secre-
tu4'y Wjndons Last Speech.

English Board of Trade returns
show that we sold merchandise to
England valued at EOS millions and
she sold to us goods valued atf44
millions; slightly over 31.8 per cent
of the total commerce of the two

sold Russia 981millions worth of

or the sales of England were slight
ly less than "a per cent of the to-
