 Continuing the secretary said:
 Our political opponents have always urged the removal of all tariff duties raw material. And they urge such a course because they claim it will en- able our manufacturers to successfully compete with their European rivals in foreign markets And what is raw ma terial? Ore, in the bowels of the earth, , is raw material, until man acquires ti- tie to it, but ore at the mouth of the mine is the finished product of the min CT. Pig iron is the finished product of the smeIter whose raw material is ore. Steel ingots may be the finished product of the manufacturer of crude steel, whose raw material is pig iron. The hair-spring of a watch, perhaps the most valuable by weight of any product of mans skill, is the finished product of him whose raw material is steel while the watch containing the hair spring is the finished product of him whose raw material is gold and jewels and wheels and springs. Whose labor

 But the republican party, ever ready with encouragement to the manufac-

Whoever will may bring vol or silk, or hides, or iron, or wood, or any otner commodity, from the cheapest market of earth, and if therefron1 he Will pro- duce a manufacture for exportation, ne will be paid from the treasury the full amount the duty he paid upon the material imported. In fact he need not pay the duty, if he will conform to cer- tain regulations and give the necessary bond.
 In practice, the republican policy of protection, extended to all American la bor, has resulted to the advantage not only of the manufacturers who supply the American market. but also to the American exporter of manufactures. In 1860, at the close of long period of i democratic control, when the manu- facturer was given free raw material, we imported, for purposes Of manufac- ture, little less than $2 per capita. In 1 1902 we imported, for the purposes or manufacture, a little over $4 per capita. 1 In 1860 our importations for purposes of manufacture were r 1-2 per cent. of I the total in 1902 they were 36 per cent. of the total. As usual, our opponents
 argument sounds very well until tested l by experience.
 1 Personally, and speaking for myself alone, should be glad to see these
 drawback provisions made more liberal.
 Let me illustrate. If Smith imports
 hides from South America, and exports
 the leather which he manufactures
 thtrefrom, he will be allowed a draw
 back equal to the duty he has paid on
 the hides; but if he sells the leather to

Some of our European rivals offer greater encouragement to thelr eA- norters than we have thus far to ours.

 The secretary next took up the sii'er ouestion and the trust issue. lie salo the only trust legislation ever enacted by the federal legislature was passed by republican house and signed by republican president. He told Of the methods of forming these combinations and stated that President Cleveland first administration was prolific or them. He spoke of the remedy sug- gested by Bryan, and told of the action of the house democrats in voting against a proposed constitutional amendment enabling congress to deal effectively with the problem. He expa- tiated at some length on the rights o1 the states. and said if the states would deal with the combinations within theii borders there would be nothing left fol congress to do.
