the eight months of this year we
equaled the $57,000,000 gain in 1903
over 1902; also the $115,000,000 gain
in 1905 over 1904 and 1892 100000
more, total gain in this way of $304,-
100000. Or, to put 1t another way:
Our exports this eight months equal
those of 1903, eight months, with its
gain of $57,000000 over 1902, eight
months, and $220,000,000 more in all.
a gain of $277,000,000; or, further,
they equaled those of 1905, eight
months, with its gain of $115, 100000
over 1904, eight months, and S132,0OO,-
900 more, or a total gain of $247,000
in 1906, eight months, over the eight
months of only two years previously.
No matter which way you figure
our exports in the full Republican
protective years, 1898 to 1906, it's gain,
gain, gain, over anything of that kind
which can be shown in Democratic
years.
The last four full Democratic fiscal
years were 1894 to 1897, inclusive. In
those years our exports were as fol-
lows in round millions of gold dollars,
not the 16 to l silver dollars they pro-
posed in 1896, but dollars each one of
which will buy for the American
wage-earner 100 cents worth of COM

This comparison simply means that
in each of the six Republican eight
months periods of the fiscal years,
1901 to 1906, inclusive, we exported
as much as did the Democrats in each
of their four full fiscal years, 1894 to
1897, inclusive, and $19,0000Q0 more
in each of the six Republican eight
months. In other words, we did it in
one-third less time, with four gains of
s19,O00,0O0 each, or in ALL $76,OO0,O0O
clear gain.
But what have exports to do with
the Republican full protective tariff,
say some. Just this: If our factories
were not going at full blast because
of our great home markes being pre-
served to them, thus producing goods
in much larger quantities. we should
net have a surplus of manufactured
goods available for export, and if our
farmers were not encouraged by the
great home demand in a market also
protected to them they would not cul-
tivate so much land and would not
produce so much cotton and other
land products, leaving less available
for export than they now have, year
after year; and if our exporters were
not sure, as they are, that these in
creased productions would be availa-
Bile for export when wanted they
would not go to the expense of send
ing sales agents abroad, foreign orders
for American goods and products
would not be forthcoming, and our ex-
ports would fall back to what they
were in Democratic low tariff days.
American exports under Republican
control and policies are one-third
greater than under Democratic con-
troll and policies with $19, 900, 900 each
eight months to spare, consequently
factory outputs and factory wage dis
bursements are also more than one
third greater while Republican con-
gressmen control the house
