FROM A FREE-1RADE STANDPOINT.
a Correspondent writes:

a correspondent writes:
very valued friend OF mine, who Is student
OF political economy from free-trade stand
point, says that our exports pay our imports.
Is this proposition true?
II this be true, then ! must be obliged to admit
to him conclusions which, as a Republican.
cannot consistently do. Please notice this IN
THE CALL and ohlige one who upholds THE
CALL IN its earnest efforts
The free-trader's proposition may be true
and it may not. Under the present pro-
tective tariff the exports more than pay for
the imports. There would be q couple of
hundred millions of gold coming to Us from
last years trade if the foreigners who owe
1t had not preferred to return American
securities in place of the coin. Under the
revenue tariff of 1876 the exports did not
pay for the imports. From 1917 to 1857 the
balance Of trade was steadily against us.
AS we had no EuroIea securities to return
we had to send over the coin. 1t was this
adverse balance of trade and consequent
drain of specie which caused the financial
collapse of 1857.
But as matter Of fact the merit OF the
protective policy does not consist so much in
the maintaining of favorable balances of
trade as in establishing varied industries in
the country. Suppose that under free trade
we should export SS00,0O0.0O0 of raw ma
terial each year and import $500, 900 of
finished goods, the fact that the exports
paid for the imports would not justify
a continuance in that policy. We should
send abroad raw cotton, grain, hides.
roots and such other agricultural products
as we produced a surplus of, and receive in
pay for them high priced, finished goods.
Under a trade of this kind we would never
learn how to work up our raw material
into the high-priced finished goods. The
nations that bought our raw material and
sold US the finished goods would grow rich,
while we should remain poor. Such has
been the history of all nations that have
been subject to such conditions. Before the
war the South had monopoly of the most
valuable raw product country ever pro-
dueed. But the South did not get rich rails
ing cotton for New England and old Eng
land to work up into cloth. The merit OF
the protective tariff lies in the fact that it
stimulates home industries Under free
trade the old and well-established factories
of Europe would throw goods upon our
market at prices new and inexperienced
manufacturers could not compete with.
we should do only such work as from the
nature OF it could not be done abroad We
should shoe our own horses, but the shoe
and the nails would be fashioned elsewhere.

THE WAY IN BOSTON.

1t is said that the Boston Transcript de-
voted but four lines to an account of the
fight between Sullivan and Corbett, the
Advertiser but seven, other papers making
only a casual reference to the affair. These
papers must feel terribly rebuked if they
should chance to see the Examiner Of this
city, which for some days has devoted about
one-half Of its reading columns to details
concerning the two fighters. The Boston
journals may be cOnsoed, however, for an
apparent lack of enterprise by the thought
that 10 false accounts of the condition Of
the contestants had appeared in their col
umns, and the consequent assurance that IL
their readers had bet on the wrong man
they had not been led to do so by misrspre-
sensations on the part of their journals.

all, suggests that there is not much in Peek's
figures because there are Industries he did
not mention which show opposite results.
1t has been discovered that manufacturers
of dvestuffs and chemicals have increased
their product and at the same time cut
down their wages. But tie value Of the
Posts conclusion may be estimated in the
light of its declaration that 1.-The rough
average of all the industries is s. Of prod
uct to 81 Of labor" The Post can only
reach this conclusion by taking the product
at some stage of manufacture and CHASING
it as raw material. There is nothing made
or grown in the United States or elsewhere
in which the cost of the product is not more
than oEe-half labor. In steel, for example,
the labor cost is shown to be between S13
and S14 per ton, the entire cost varying
from So TO S24 per ton.
