SUBSTANCE AND SHADOW.
Actual Eject of Free Trade ~ shown
iva nnnk IIcnrings.

According to the old free-trade idea
we should throw our American mar
kets open 50 that the manufacturers of
all the cheap labor countries i'm the
world might enter into competition
with the products made by our better
paid American labor. The adoption OF
such policy could have but one effect
namely. the cheapcning Of our labor
down to the foreign level, less the cost
of transportation from foreign shores to
our shores.
But what would we surrender. i'm ad-
dition TO the superior civilization OF
American wage carucrs? The volume
of our business is based upon our bank
clearings. which are held approximate
~ To represent the amount of our daily.
monthly or yearly trade transactions.
No other method has ever been deter
mined for gauging the extent Of our
business: therefore, assuming that the
bank clearingS are Il fair test. we desire
10 compare them with the foreign trade
that we have acquired and with the
total foreign trade which il would he
possible for MS 10 acquire r We supplied
all foreign countries with an the goods
that they import. Thus.
