In one of his speeches MT. Me Kinley, in advocating a high tariff, said: Better a thousand times en- large the makets for American pro- ducts than to enlarge the hints for the silver product of the world. Commenting on the above the New Orleans Daily States, says: This sentiment was lustily applauded by the farmers he was addressing. And yet when analysed is the most sophistical of arguments. Everyone knows that the creation of such tariff is the building of a Chinese wall around this country and operates precisely the reverse of enlarging it's markets. The com merce of countries must be recipro- cal; ships to be run successfully must be freighted each way. An oblect-lesson on this subject was afforded some years ago when the Mckinley tariff was in operation. A merchant in New York, or some other Eastern city, loaded vessel for South American port. @ It proved successful venture, and the merchant concluded to bring the products of that country as re- turn freight. He had evidently neglected to inform himself on the subject of our tariff laws, and when his vessel reached her home port he found that the tariff duties would more than absorb his profits and so, without breaking his bulk. he sent his cargo to England. Was this calculated to enlarge our home markets?p
