the question of American markets and
American imports. The protective tar

cannot stand the intense competition
and low prices of American farm prod
uots. The prices of German farm lands
have been forced to a high point, and
the German tenant farmers are rack
rented as badly as ever they are in
Ireland. Naturally the landlord ele-

which will be the inevitable result if
American farmers are given free trade
with Germany. On the other hand, the
German manufacturers want cheap
food products from the United States,

markets all over the world.
But this situation in Germany is to
be taken advantage of by the protect

The shrinkape in the volume of
trade within the United States is al

American export business. But thew
neglect the fact that the domestic ex-
changes of the limited States are
more than 20 times the volume of
the entire foreign trade of this coun-

shrinkage in domestic exchanges is
more than three times the Volume of
our foreign EXCHANGES for the same
period. All signs indicate that This
sbrinkape will increase. and as If in
creases prosperitv. even of the .rust
variety. will disappear.
