There is presented, in the second
place. question Of policy. If we were
losing ground as an agricultural coun-
try would it be necessary or advanta-
geous to change our political policy?
Mr.. Rubens assumes that it would, but
is he right? There is no obvious reason
to believe that he is
What he calls "our supremacy as an
agricultural country" has not been the
result of political policy. 1t has been
due to our fertile soil, cheap land, SUI
perior farm implements for marketing
produce. If we were to adopt the lingo
policy of annexing everything in sight
and out of sight we would not thereby
achieve manufacturing or commercial
supremacy. We can trade freely with
any country without annexing it, as we
have been trading with the Hawaiian
islands for many years.
Mr.. Rubens' assumption seems to be
tnat we are losing our agricultural SUI
premacy and, therefore, we must strike
for manufacturing supremacy by an
nexing Canada, Cuba and whatever else
we can lay hands on. The only way
In which this would build up our manu-
factures would be by securing for our
manufacturers a practical monopoly of
the markets of the annexed territory.
We could apply a Mckinley tariff to
keep out the manufactured products of
other countries. We could extend the
area OF the rapacity of our tariff barons
and enable them to levy tribute upon
populations now alien.
The annexation of the entire western
hemisphere upon the pretense of ex-
tending the area of liberty and confer
ring upon others the blessings of our
institutions would be a great achieve
ment, OF course. But to do this for no
other purpose than to practice tariff
robbery upon the annexed population
for the benefit of favored class of cap
ltal1sts engaged in manufacturing
would not be laudable.
We have held our own hitherto as an
agricultural country, not because of but
In spite of our economic policy. Our
farmers have been obliged to sell at free
trade prices, resulting from worldwide
competition. They have been obliged

manufacturers shielded by an act of
congress against competition. Yet they
nave held their own. If we will but
complete their emancipation they will
hold their own for many years to come.
And, what is more, our manufactur-
ers, thrown upon their own resources,
as our farmers always have been, will
march on to supremacy in their great
field of activity. 1t is not necessary
that the government should "hold up"
all the other people of this hemisphere
as 1t has heretofore held up" the
American people, in order to hasten our
march to manufacturing supremacy.
1t is complete industrial and CONNER
cial liberty and not annexation that this
country needs.

The Patient Was Finally Restored, After

From the Evening News, Newark, Nj
About eighteen years ago. when Mrs.
Annie Dale, of SO Bruce Street was bright,
merry school girl, she was taken i'll with
scarlet fever. She recovered, but she was
very different girl from physical stand
point. She was cured of the scarlet fever
but 1t left her with an affection of the back

her household duties, but she never COM

and then to make matters worse, my head

A IInrn Argument.

Chicago Chronicle: Our distinguished
fellow citizen, Harry Rubens, states the
following lingo argument: THE ex-
perience of the last few years demon
strates the fact that we can no longer
safely rely upon our supremacy as an
agricultural country. 1t is time for
us to change, and one of the most desir-
able changes would be an increase in
our commercial relations with other
countries and an extension of the do
minion of the United States government
in the right direction"
Here is presented, in the first place, a
question of fact. Are we losing ground
as an agricultural country? During
the fiscal year 1894 we exported agricul-
tural products to the value of nearly
$62S, 4OO, 600. This was more than in
any previous year, with the exception
Of 1880, 1881. 1891 and 1892. 1t was 1928
per cent Of our total merchandise ex-
ports. or just about the same proportion
as in 1877, and not much less than three
times the value of like exports in 1860.
The fact is, therefore, that we are not
losing ground in this respect.

In the case of Brazil, it will be seen,
the balance was nearly $4,000, 900
more against us and in the case of
Cuba over 10000, 900 more during the
four years of reciprocity" than it was
during the four years Immediately pre-
ceding. Thus when we get down to
solid facts we find that the Blaine pol
icy did not accomplish either of the
things promised. 1t did not cause our
commerce to increase any faster than it
had increased before, and so far from
redressing the adverse trade balance it
resulted in a still heavier adverse bal
ance. The policy, in fact, was fail
ure, and it has been wisely abandoned.
