rirnc"d, against $40, 5000 for Great
Britain.
In the coal trade there is again
room for an instructive comparison.
In 1899 43,UO0,OOG tons Of coal and coke,
valued at upward of $lIj,0OO.Ou0 went
out of Great Britain, to which must he
added 100000 o tons shipped for the
use of steamers engaged in the foreign
trade. AS n set~oif against this. the
United States in 1899 had coal and coke
exports amounting to 5000, 500 tons, of
a value of SIC, 500, 900. Here, again, there
is a tremendous disparity. In at least
one great industry, however, the
United states already has the lead. and
that is in leather. In leather. boots
and shoes and saddlery the United
Kingdom had exports last year valued
at $4,000. 600. against Il total for the
United States of nearly $2T,0 600. 0u0."
The moral of it all the Manufacturer
does not draw-namcly. that our pro-
@tcctiyc tariff SO enhances the cost OF
manufacture in this country and gives
huge market that they are either I'M
able or iudisposed to compete with for
rjnn manufacturers. With free trade
We should be able to enlarge our cx-
ports of manufactures a dozen times
over.--Baltimore sun.
