admit that he is never found on both

an important concession in this age

plainly that the period when this

volume of trade was under Republi.

during the time that the Mckinley

First, that the volume of our domes-
tic exports was greatest by over
500. 600, coo during the two or
three years Immediately following
the passage of the Mckinley act
second, that the volume of those ex-
ports has not only rapidly diminished
under the present administration,
but especially since the Democratic
Free Trade Tariff act became law :;
third, that the value of the imports
