DUTIABLE IMPORTS.
THEY COMPETE WITH THE PROD

Thus Every Yard of Cloth or Bale of Goods

ingmen of the Opportunity to Make "a
Corresponding Article.
That the free importation of articles
which compete with our own produc-
hons deprives American workingmen of
opportunities for employment that right
fully belong to them is self evident.
Every bale of goods, every yard of cloth
that Is imported displaces a correspond
ing article of American make. and con-
sequently diSplaces also the labor which
would have been employed here in max
ing that article. II is on this account
that we are opposed to the adoption Of
the free trade policy, to which the ''re-
formers of the present congress arc
committed. For under that policy a
premium would be placed on mporta-
hon, foreign articles-cheaper because
made by degraded and pauperized work

trade party or it is nothing" The less
honest members of that party have made
and still make strenuous efforts to hide
this truth from the people. With their
free wool bill and their free cotton tie and
cotton bagging bill, and such other free
trade bills sent to the senate as they see
hit to pass before the adjournment Of
congress, they will find their task more
difficult in the approaching campaign
than ever before. Too many bold free
trade speecl 's by representative Demo-
Gratis have been placed on record. too
many bitter and unqualified denuncia-
tions of protection in the abstract for
successful deception.
One little occurrence we particularly
wish to call 70 the attention OF our read
ers.
On April IL Congressman Burrows, of
Michigan, called the attention of the
house to the fact that Democratic CON
gressmen had been inserting, as their
remarks on the free wool bill. long ex-
tracts from Hrnr: Georges Protection
ana Free Trade" II further appeared
that this was merck the carving out
Of a scheme to give Mr. Georges work
wide circulation at public expense. A
number Of Democrats had divided the
book between them each taking com
plete a number Of chapters in consecu-
tive order. which We're regularly insert
ed by them IN The Congressional Record
Thus the whole work was printed on
the installment plan. and having ap-
peared in Tie Record could be sent free,
according to law, through the mails.
This accomplished all that remained 10
do was for each member in the scheme
TO order a large number of copies of his
own speech, and the party had be-
tween them an equal number Of Henry
Georges work complete.
We do not care at this time to com
ment on the fragrant abuse uf congress
sional privilege III thus utilizing the
United States government as a free
trade campaign bureau, nor do we care
to dwell upon any other ~ the diorepu-
table features If the free trade scheme.
But We do want To call the attention #
American voters everywhere To the char
actcr Of the literature which these Dem
ocrats are sending out in defense OF their
mlSnaned tariff reform movement.

American free traders pride them
selves on the fact that the majority of
college professors are on their side. and
they assume that the same condition
prevails throughout the world. The
truth is that the professors who take
their views, already thought out, from
English economists form the majority
of the free trade professors in this coun-
try, and on the continent of Europe,
particularly in Germany-that land Of
universities and brilliant teachers, which
stands easily at the head Of nations in
advanced educational progress-protec-
ZIONIST professors are the rule.

THE WORK OF RECIPROCITY.


1t Has Greatly Extended the Market for
our Products in south America.
The reciprocity treaty with Brazil has
now been in force since April /. 1891,
and the treaties with Cuba and Porto
Rico since Sept. /, 1891 a period Of time
sufficiently long TO enable us to form
some Judgment Of their success. Have
they resulted in the extension Of Ameri-
can trade IN the opening up of new mar
kets for American products:
The bureau of statistics has Just is
sued ii statement Of the commerce of the
United States with American countries.
in which are to be found all the figures
necessary to answer this important ques-
tion. The value of our exports to Bra
zil, Cuba and Porto Rico for the periods
during which these countries have en-
Joyed reciprocity arrangements with the
United States, as compared with the
value Of our exports for the correspond
ing periods of the preceding year, is
shown by the following table:

An increase of $4,000, 900 (more than
% per cent? in the value of our exports
in the short period during which these
treaties have been in force is surely
gratifying showing and one that amply
testifies to the wisdom of the reciprocity
section of the tariff law of 1890. How
much greater. too, must be our satisfac-
tion when we reflect that the whole of this
larger market has been secured without
the loss of our own and without lower
ing the wages Of a single workingman in
this country.
No wonder reckless partisans attempt
to belittle the work Of reciprocity, for
that policy, the success of which they
cannot but foresee, will be the death
blow to all their free trade schemes.
With protection to guard the market
for American products at home, reci-
proclty to open up markets for those
products abroad and a rational patriotic
encouragement to our merchant marine.
American commerce must steadily in
crease. American prosperity yearly be-
come greater. May the good work 90 on.
