NATIONAL INDUSTRY.

= .(
There appears to be growing
tendency among public speakers and
writer's to assume that industrial ex-
pansion must all be sought in the
acquisition of foreign markets.
Hence, the increase Of foreign trade
is coming to be regarded as the test
of high craftsmanship. Those who
advocate this policy seem to over
look the fact that foreign markets,
as well as home markets, do but
represent the aggregate consumption
of wealth by the people Of the res
pective countries. They assert that
we can only sell to those from whom
we buy. Hence if we sell to foreign
countries we must in turn buy from
foreign countries. In truth, five
sixths of our purchases are from
countries to which we make only
one-sixth of our sales. We sell
much to England, France and
Germany, and buy only a third as
much from them. We buy from
the Indies, China and South America
often five times more than we sell
to the same countries This strug-
gle for the conquest of foreign
markets consists not so much id
creating new markets or even ex-
panding existing markets rs in cap
turing them from others. Those
markets are the most susceptible of
expansion and actual increase where
the existing standard Of living is
highest, because the diversifcation
of social tastes and demand for
entirely new classes of products are
greatest. All such increased de-
mands is net gain to the actual
market of the world, and hence their
acquisition for development does
not disposses other producers.
The greatest opportunity in the
world, therefore, for larger markets
lie in the expansion of our home
demands, and not in the capturing
of the more meager markets of other
countries. First, because every en-
largement of our home market is. a
gain, without involving a loss by
industrial disturbance anywhere
else. Second, because every ad-
vance so accomplished involves an
actual improvement in the social
life of the masses commensurate
with the expansion Of industrial
opportunities for the capitalist
classes; and third, because a ten per
cent increased purchasing power
of the American people could be
more easily accomplished than any
similar increase of markets by the
barbaric method of stealing them
from somebody else. All influences
political, social, business, which
produce the effect of widening the
horizon of desires and wants, tend to
benefit unspeakable; and no others
will operate in such large scale
with anything like the same energy
Herein is movement society en- masse
to a better estate. Political
measures, therefore, which tend tc
inspirit and widen national industry
are of great value.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1894-05-31

prove on this good thing, because
to the old proverb "you
can't have too much of good
thing" So Farmer Smith evolved
a scheme, and when he went to the
alliance meeting he either unfolded
it there, or told it abroad elsewhere,
for his neighbors are all onto it.
Farmer Smiths scheme is simply to
give away his personal property
until he has only 5000, at assessors
valuation, left; and therefore with
a 5000 exemption law has no tax to
pay. But it is in giving away his
surplus property is where Farmer
Smiths accumen shines, during the
month of April, or some time pre-
vious to the assessors visit, he
divides his personal property among
the members of his family, and in
the division he carefully protects
each of the members from the bur
den of taxation by limiting his gifts
to each to about 5000 valuation.
When the assessor comes, John
Smith, the farmer lists his two
horses binder and some odd truck
as his sole possession. Mary Ann
Smith, the wife, is assessed for the
four oxen, couple of colts and the
family COW. John, il. the boy, has
some steers, Nancy Jane, the
daughter owns the sheep and pigs,
and the maiden sister who lives in
the family, owns about two hundred
dollars Of miscellaneous household
stuff, while the three year old Sally
and the baby are charged up with
the rest of the personal property.
We understand that one of the
Langdon city merchants learned the
lesson from his farmer customers
last year and by judicious distribu-
tion among his relatives got off with
a very light tax on his stock of
goods.
But the reader will say how do
they get the necessary valuation
upon which to collect the necessary
taxes; such a system must bring
down the total assessment greatly
Well, it does we do not vouch for
the exact figures but we heard it said
that the personal assessment in that
county is reduced from $250,ooo to
about one tenth of that sum. But
the genious of Farmer Smith has
provided for that. Owing to the
series Of dry seasons and hard frosts
some years ago, a large amount Of
land went into the hands of non
residents. At the assessors meeting
by formal vote and agreement, the
assessors are directed to tax lands
owned by non-residents, fifty pei
cent higher than adjacent lands
owned by residents! And the as
SCISSOR in his zeal not only obey hi
instructions but gives such gooe
measures, that the total assessmen
is kept up, the bloated non-residen
pays the taxes, while the homes
farmer goes free.

TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 6, 1894

1t is generally understood that a
substantial agreement has been
reached between the Citizens COM
mittee and the promoters of the
Gulf road, and that at the Thurs
day night meeting this agreement
is to be presented and acted upon.
The committee are of opinion that
a fair proposition has been made
by the railroad people and will
recommend its acceptance. This
proposition does not contemplate
a dollar of money paid out by San
Antonio until the road is built
and equipped and the road running
over thirty-twO mills of line out
from this city. The thing now to
be considered is the meeting on
Thursday night. At that meeting
every representative business man
in San Antonio should be present,
and that meeting should be ready
to close out this business at once.
These men are here for business {;
they have made a business propO-
SitiOn; it should be considered in a
business way and a business de-
ciSiOn arrived at with business
like prOmptness.
The New York World Almanac
and the Chicago News Altman ac
have both reached the LIGHT with
the compliments of the cOmpilers.
They are both valuable as works of
political reference and their re-
ceipt is thankfully acknowledged.
There is nothing else published
that gives more information in
smaller space or arranges it more
conveniently for reference than
these Almanacs, and for cOnven-
fence of reference the News takes
the ca Ike. This however, may be
Owins0 to the fact that it has been
so long a yearly visitor at this Of
flee that its arrangement has be-
come better known.
1t is not the manufacturer, but
the farmer and the laborer who are
to feel the effects of this reduction
in the duties upon foreign produc-
ton. The manufacturer will lower
wages to the old world scale and
continue in business, while the la
borer will have his wages reduced
until he cannot purchase food sup
plies as in the past, and the farmer
will suffer on account of his home
market being thus cut down one
half. This is the dose that has
been prepared by Wilson and COM
pany.

No amount of subterfuge can

markable debate fair as the sun
and clear as the moon. In its light
the country reads the destructive
ness of the opposite policy.

The man who glibly says that
it requires no nerve to commit
suicide has evidently not tried the
little experiment. 1t is easy to
undervalue what has not passed
into our personal experience.
That railroad is going to be built
from here to the Brazos, and it de-
ponds wholly upon this city wheth-
or the line starts from this end or
the other. This difference means
much to San Antonio.
Even sewers can wait for a future

ment Of the streets.

Those Democrats who are con-

ences in this state had better mas

observation there.
1t is not the conservative men of

dominate its councils in the next
state convention, else would the
advice of John Ireland have borne
fruit ere this.
