Democrats pretend to think that pro-
lection to America will result in a loss
of the trade of other countries. That
is not the fact, and all history demon
strates 1t. Under the Democratic low
tariff Wilson bill our trade with Cam
ada was millions of dollars annually
less than it has been under the Re-
publican high tariff protection Dingley
bill. Here are the exact figures. I'm
der the Democratic low tariff Wilson
bill from June l. 1896. to June ]. 1897.
American exports to the Dominion of
Canada amounted to s37.370,S25. But
under the Republican high tariff pro-
lection Dingley bill from June 1, 1897.
to June /, 1898. American exports to
the Dominion OF Canada amounted to
S46, ,251 ,22S. That is gain in our ex-
ports to Canada in one year, under
the doctrine OF protection. amounting
to $3.50, ,403. Facts like these should
convince honest Democrats that pro-
lection is the best policy for the United
States. dll) Journal.
