Won't the New York Evening Post
explain to Mr.. w. l.. Jacks of Glas-
gov that he is mistaken? Either the
English manufacturers have no free
raw material" and Mr.. Jacks says that
mo foreign country had cheaper raw
material'-or else the Westphalian
coal and American pig iron are not
being sold in England, and Mr.. Jacks
says they are-or else the imports

increased 700 per cent, and Sir Alfred
Hickman says they have-or else the

sy' is all wrong, and only the Herald
and the Evening Post Of New York are
all right.
Perhaps, though, an effort will be
made by our Free-Trade friends to ex-
tricate themselves from their dilemma
by attributing these English Protection
arguments to the existence of "enor-
nous strikes and lock-outs which
from time to time arose" in the United
Kingdom. But to acknowledge this
as the cause of British inability to cap
ture other markets or to hold their
own. would be q confession that
strikes and lock-outs" do exist in
Free-Trade country, whereas every
Free-Trade paper in this country de-
clares. especially during political
campaign, that strikes and lock-outs"
are the outgrowth of Protective Tar
in and are unknown in Free-Trade

Both Tariff League Men.

The American Protective Tariff
League has good cause to be satisfied
with the work of the Republican Ma
ton Convention at st. Louis. Both the
nominees for President and Vice Presi-
dent-Hon. William Mckinley of Ohio
and Hon. Carrot A. Hobart of New
Jersey-have been members OF the
League almost from it's inception. Both
are advocates of the policy of protec-
ton, as against free trade, and the
American people can rest assured that
the advocacy of this policy which the
League represents, will be maintained
with our usual vigor during the cam
paign. While we regard the result of
the election as sure victory for pro-
lection, all friends of the cause must
give active cooperation to insure over
whelming success in order that protec-
ton may become the permanent policy
of the United States.-American Econ
omist.

A conference of the British Iron
Trade association was held, on May s,
at the Westminster Palace hotel, in
Alfred Hickman, M. p. Upon opening
the conference, the president remark
ed that the question which seemed to
be the most pressing at the present
moment for the British manufacturer,
and especially the British iron manu-
facturer, was the success OF foreign
competition" Sir Alfred Hickman cam
not have been reading the New York
Herald, or, il he has, it's childish
economics must have failed to impress
his business experience, for he stated
that:
The suggestion that the progress OF
nation was measured by its imports
was a heresy which did not require
confuting. 1t was certain that we
could never become rich by what we
bought unless We sold again at profit.
We are told that the total value of our
exports was increasing, but our popu-
lation was increasing also and per head

creasing. Our exports per head of
population were, in 1890, e. 0s ID. and
in 1894, f5 lis. I'd. Our imports into
India had decreased no less than "a
per cent, while the imports from Ger
many and Belgium had increased no
less than 700 per cent
Now the Herald has been trying to
make it's readers believe that Eng
lands prosperity was measured by
its imports" But hardheaded bust
ness man, like Sir Alfred Hickman,
says this is "a heresy which did not
require confuting." He further over
throws the Herald's efforts at "a cam
paign of education" by saying that the
English could never become rich by
what we they bought unless we
(they) sold again at profit" II Brit
fish business, on it's Free-Trade basis,
be such money making game. what
necessity was there for Sir Alfred to
deplore the fact that our (British) ex-
ports are decreasing" and still further
to deplore that 1.-The imports (British)
from Germany and Belgium had in
creased no less than 700 per cent?,
According to the Herald's argument
these larger British imports from Ger
many and Belgium should have added
700 per cent to the wealth of the Brit
ish iron trade. But Sir Alfred Hick-
man says this is "heresy."
One of those keen long-headed bus
mess men of Scotland, Mr.. w. L. Jacks
of Glasgow, added his testimony to re-
fute the heresy of the Herald. He
pointed out that whilst in 1871 Great
Britain supplied over half the pig iron
of the world, and in 1882 about 40 per
cent, it only supplied about a quarter
in 1898, and the tide flowed in the
same direction. The figures and facts,
taken together with the steadily de-
creasing use of British coal in Ger
many and especially with the start
ling announcement that Westphalian
coal was being sold in London, and
with the equally serious fact that ordi-
nary American pig iron was being
pretty regularly sold in some parts OF
England, indicated an amazing and
uncomfortable change in our CONNER
cial and industrial conditions. 1t was
not in the raw material alone that
these conditions prevailed, but in the

Germany's Protection Policy.

AS late as 1898, the value of British
imports into Russia exceeded that of
German imports by eleven million OF
roubles; yet, in 1894. only one year
later, Germany exported to Russia
goods worth fourteen and one-half mill
lion roubles more than England; in
fact, Germany has now displaced Eng
land from its old position at the head
of the list of countries exporting COM
modities to Russia. This is largely
due to a wise policy of reciprocity
shaped by the different economic ne
. cessities of the two countries.
