GREAT cREDTr DUE 10 BLAINE

Great credit is due to Mr.. Blaine for
the vigor with which he pressed this
view upon the country. We have only
begun to realize the benefit Of these trade
arrangements. The work of creating
new agencies and Of adapting our goods
70 new markets has necessarily taken
time, and the results already obtained
are such, am sure, as TO establish in
popular fsvor the policy Of reciprocal
trade, based upon the free importation
of such articles as do not injuriously
compete with the products Of our own
farms, mines or factories, in exchange
for the free or favored introduction Of
our products into other countries.
The obvious efficiency Of this policy,
in increasing the foreign trade of the
United States, at once attracted the
alarmed attention of European trade
journals and boards Of trade. The Brit
ish Board of trade has presented to that
government q memorial asking for the
appointment of commission to consider
the best mean. Of counteracting what IS
called = The commercial crusade Of the
United States" At meeting held IN
March last of the Associated Chambers
Of Commerce of Great Britsin, the presi-
dent reported that the exports from
Great Britain to the Latin American
countries during the last year had de-
creased 81, 10000 and that this was not
due to temporary causes, but directly TO
the reciprocity policy OF the United
States. Germany and France have also
shown their startled appreciation Of the
fact that q new and vigorous contestant
has appeared in the battle of the mar
kets and has already secured important
advantages
WHY TRADE INCREASED.
The most convincing evidence Of the
tremendous commercial strength of our
position is found in the fact that Great
Britain and Spain have found it necessa-
~ to make reciprocal trade agreements

ocean carrying trade. This subject touch
es not only our pockets, but our national
pride. Practically all the freights for
Transporting TO Europe the enormous an
nual supply of provisions furnished by
this country, and for the large return of
manufactured products, have for many
years been paid to foreign ship-owners.
Thousands Of immigrants annually seek
ing homes underour flag have been de-
MED the sight Of it until they entered
Sandy Hook, while increasing thous-
ands Of American citizens bent on Euro
Pean travel have each year stepped into
foreign jurisdiction at the New York
docks. The merchandise balance Of
trade, which the Treasury books show,
IS largely reduced by the annual tribute
which we pay for freight and passage
monies.
The great ships-the fastest upon the
sea-which are now in peace prOfiing
by our trade are, in q secondary sense,
war ships Of their respective govern
ments and in time Of war would, under
existing contracts with those govern
ments, speedily take on the guns for
which their decks are already prepared
and enter with terrible efficiency upon
the work of destroying cur commerce.
The undisputed fact is that the great
steamship lines of Europe were built up
and are now in part sustained by direct
or indirect government aid-the latter
taking the form of liberal pay for carry
ing the mails, or of sn annual bonus Civ
en- in consideration Of agreements to con-
struct the ships SO as to adopt them for
carrying an armament and to turn them
over to the government on demand up
on specified terms.

DEMOCRATS ADMIT n.

Here we have distinct admission OF
the Republican contention that Ameri-
can woikmen are advantaged By tariH
rate equal to the difference between
home and foreign wages, and declara-
ton only against the alleged additional
impositions" Of the existing tariff la~.
Again, this majority report further de-
elared:
"But in making reduction in taxes, il
Is not proposed to injure any domestic
industries, but rather tn promote their
healthy growth. Moreover, many indus
tries have come to rely upon legislation
for successful continuance, 50 that any
change oflaw must at every step re-
gardful ofthe labor and the capital thus
involved
Here we have an admission that many
OF our industries depend upon protective
duties 'for their successful continuance"
and a declaration that tariff changes
should be regardful Of the Eorkmen in
such industries and Of the invested eapi-
tai.

Another related measure, as furnish
ing an increased open traffic for our
ships, and Of great and permanent bene-
fit TO the farmers and manufacturers as
well, is the reciprocity policy declared
by Section of the Tariff act Of 1890 and
now in practical operation with five Of
the nations Of Central and South Ameri-
ca, San Domingo, the Spanish and Brit
ish West India Islands, and with Ger
many and Austria, under special trade
arrangements with each.
The removal Of the duty upon sugar
and the continuance OF coffee and tea
upon the free list, while giving great re-
lief to our people BY cheapening articles
used increasingly in every household,
was also Of such enormous advantage TO
the countries exporting these articles, as
10 suggest that in consideration thereof a
reciprocal favor should be shown in their
tariff to articles exported by Us to their
markets.

Of these methods. He says:
"Do not be deceived. The victory Of

STEAMSHIP sUBsIDEs.
1t is plain TO every intelligent Ameri-
can that il the United States would have
such lines, similar policy must be enter
ed upon. The Fifty-frst Congress enacted
such a law and under its benefcent infiu-
ence sixteen American Steamships of an
aggregate tonnage Of 5, 400 tons and cost
ing s., 10000 have been built or con-
traeted to be built in American ship
yards. In addition TO this, it is now
practically certain that We shall soon
have, under the American flag, one ofthe
finest steamship lines sailing out Of New
York for any European port.
This contract win result in the con
struction in American yards offour new
passenger steamships of 10000 tons each,
costing about SS,OOO,0OO, and viii add to
our naval reserve six steamships, the
fastest upon the sea. A special interest
has been taken by me in the establish
ment Of lines from our South Atlantic
and Gulf ports; and, though my expec-
tations have not yet been realized, atten-
ton has been called TO the advantages
possessed by these ports, and whes their
people are more fully alive to their inter
ests do not doubt that they win be able
to secure the capital needed TO enable
them to profit by their great natural sd-
ysntages-
Tie Democratic party has found no
place in its platform for any reference to
this subject and has shown its hostility
to the general policy by refusing to ex-
pend an appropriation made during the
last administration for ocean imail con-
tracts with American lines. The patri-
otic people, the workmen in our shops,
the capitalists seeking new enterprises,
must decide whether the great ships
owned by Americans which have sought
American registry shall again humbly
ask a place in the English naval service /;
the great ships now on the designers ia

ofits sailors, in the carrying trade Of all
