Policy of Cheaper Sales Has Consent
of Both Parties.
Secretary Shaw estimates that out
Of every $1,000 worth Of manufactures
exported from this country 30 cents
worth are sold abroad cheaper than al
home. So far the complaint of the
Democrats that our manufactures sell
abroad cheaper than at home seems to
be true. But this is not as great dis
count in the export trade as the ad-
vantage given to manufactures in the
Importation Of raw materials, that they
may employ American labor at Amer
ican wages In the manufacture of goods
that are to be sold abroad in cOmpeti-
ton
1t has been the policy Of the Repub-
lican party for number of years to
encourage such competition In foreign
markets. The drawback on materials
Imported for manufactures that are to
be exported is not peculiar to the
Dingley law. The same provision was
in the Mckinley law, and 1t was incor-
porated In the Wilson German law by
the Democrats, 1t was kept In the law
when the Dingley act was passed be-
cause 1t became the policy of the gov
ernment by common consent of both
parties.
Last year we imported $4,000, 900
worth Of materials which went into
manufactures for export. and the draw
back was paid on about per cent of
our imports. This would make 1t pos.
sible for the American manufacturers
to sell about per cent of their exports,
or $12O,O0O,0OO worth, cheaper abroad
than at home, The advantage given by
the drawback was given for the pur-
pose of enabling them to go into for
eign markets and compete. even IL
they had to sell cheaper than at home.
And this advantage was given In the
Democratic tariff act of 1894, Just as 1t

Well, by far the most particular

The cost ofthe paper is worth con-

For it is quite possible for you to
pay us DC roll and get new de-

may pay as high as 4Oc roll, and
still have patterns away behind
