Exports Argue Tariff no Benefit.

1t is Il well known principle of trade
that any article of commerce that :
exported to any considerable extent
cannot be benefited in the home mar
ket by Il protective tariff. unless the
natural laws of trade are interfcred
with in some artificial way, as. for in
stance. when the home market j.
controlled by a trust. which is not
now and never has been true of tn"
lumber business. 1t is as clear as
chat water will seek its level that no
producer will ship his product to the
foreign market as long as the home
market bears price in excess of what
the foreign market will give. And
hence the export of any article in con-
siderable quantity is sufficient proof
that that article is not benefited by
the tariff against the foreign article
unless it is controlled by trust. Ac
cOrding to the government reports
lumber was exported from this cOun~
try last year to the value of $50, SCI
352.
The following article, written by 4
practical lumberman. Mr.. Charles
Ross. of the Ross NJ cAllistcr Bros.
Lumber Co. of Harnctt county, in
addition to being a very instructive
discussion of the question, shows that
the lumber people have some prac-
teal ideas of their own about these
matters. and that they are not being
fooled by Republican misrepresenta-
lions:
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1908-10-29

of North Carolina or Southern pine
sells his product in active competition
with every other manufacturer, and it
is this condition which has forced the
price of lumber down, and which
would have forced it down if the tariff
on lumber had been ten instead of
two dollars per thousand. The great
scare-crow held up to the Southern
lumberman is the competition with
Canadian lumber. 1t has often been
stated that our Southern lumber docs
not compete with the lumber furnish
ed by Canada. and as It substantiatiOn
of that fact, we actually exported to
Canada in the last year, 1907, lumber
to the value of $4,902, 80.
