During the four years OF Mckinley
protection we captured foreign markets

year. During the two democratic years
our captures were worth only $S07 ,543,-

how we have been capturing the mar
kets of the world. Here are our exports

SUITS FROM PROTECTION.

lean Commercial History-Uncle Sam
Licks John Bull at Every step-why Do
Engiishmen Emigrate?
The idea is being spread by the enc
mics of the policy of protection that o
free trade policy has proved to be an
excellent thing for the United King
dom, hence that it must necessarily be
good for the United States. They forgot
that there are many different conditions
in the two countries. British farmers
have had enough experience of free
trade, and SO have British manufactur-
,ers of cotton goods, iron and steel ware,
Ibrooms and brushes, matches, mats,
buttons and other things made ON the
continent of Europe that are now being
sold largely in the English market
Let us grant, for the sake of argu
ment, that free trade has been good
thing for the United Kingdom. But let
US see if protection has not been better
thing for the United States.
From 1916 to 1875, with the excep-
ton Of four different years, the balance
of trade has been against the United
States-our imports being larger than
our exports. From 1876 to 1895, a
period of 20 years, this was the case
during only three years, our total ex-
ports being $2,236, 332, $50 larger than
our imports during the other II years,
the net excess Of exports for the 20
years being So, 1856, 861, S68. During
this same period, 1876 to 1895, British
imports exceeded their exports by $17,-
1916, 100, 000. We thus have the follow.
