II is not at all strange that the cham
pions Of an almost pTohibitive tariff
should oppose the annexation Of Cuba
upon the ground that it would at once
bring the products Of that island into
direct and unrestrained- competition
with those Of the present United States.
The really singular circumstance is
that those who look with such horror
upon anything that even squints in the
direction Of free trade should ever
have favored expansion at all.
Every successive enlargement Of our
territory, except the latest, has extend
ed the domain in which absolute free
trade prevails. The products Of each
State compete freely with similar prod
UCts Of other States Tie iron Of Mich
isan competes with that Of PenusyIva-
MIA. the wheat Of Kansas with that of
Ohio. the oranges Of California with
those Of Florida, the sugar Of Texas
with that Of Louisiana. and So on
through the entire list. Considered
from the extreme prOtectionist stand
point. the territory Of the United States
should never have been extended be
y5nd the boundaries Of the thirteen
colonies which formed the original I'm
ion. because each addition made
broader and freer competition between
the products Of the new territory and
those Of the old But despite this fact
the work OF expansion went right on
