problem for the free traders to submit
to the voters of the United States in

pressed as follows:
If 100000 American wage-earners
are employed in producing articles for
home consumption. and 100000 Ameri-
can wage-earners are employed in pro-
ducing articles which, to be exported,
must be sold at lower price abroad
than could be obtained at home. would
the 100000 wage-earners rather quit
work than have their product sold
abroad for less than that of the 5000
600 sells at home. and would the
100000 rather quit work than have
their product sell for more at home
than that of the $4,000 sells for
abroad?
And will the 100000 ratLcr have
the whole work done abroad. with no
earnings for themselves in this coun-
try. than that they should all be en-
ployed, all make good wages. live we'll
