ROASTING THAT IS VAIN.
Facts Disprove Estravaeant Claims
Made by Republicans.

The national Republican platform Is
nothing II not boastful, nor can 1t be
said that It Is any more truthful than
,bashful, That bundle Of fabrication
and misrepresentation, amongst other
things, declares:
Under the administration of the
Republican party the foreign com
merce of the United States has expert.
enced a remarkable growth. until II
has present annual valuation of ap-
proximately three billions of dollars
and gives employment to vast
amount of labor and capital which
would otherwise be idle"
On that general declaration the New
York journal of Commerce and Com
mercial Bulletin says.
Now, whatever may have been the
influences which have contributed to
the development OF our foreign com
merce, the policy OF the Republican
party is certainly not one of them
The protectionist theory contemplates
the absolute elimination of the import
OF products which the country does not
produce, and necessarily tends to the
hampering OF the process of CONNER
ctal exchange which, in the last analy.
sis, resolves itself into barter Com,
pared with the other great nations OF
the world the ratio of our foreign trade
to population is certainly not impres.
sive
by the way of supplcmenting the
general claim that the Republican
party has fostered and promoted for.
eign commerce, the assertion Is added
that 1t has also inaugurated through
the recent visit OF the secretary OF
state to South America and Mexico a
new era of Pan-AmeTican commerce.
bringing us into closer touch with our
20 sister American republics, and
Offering us limitless field OF
legitimate commercial expansion
The specific claim has even less
foundation than the general one
Emtnently beneficial for the pro
motion of better understanding be
tween the United States and Latin
America as the visits of Secretary
Root unquestionably were, they 'inau
gurated nothing in the way of com
mercial initiative, not even the postal
subsidies which Mr., Root so urgently
demanded"
The fact is that the tariff has beer
a great barrier which the South
American republics have found it al
most impossible to surmount in their
trade with us, the exception being the
enormous trade in coffee from Brazil
and without which the trade with that
country would be comparatively insig
| nihcant
But then, there is free trade in cof
Zee, so the Republicans can hardly
claim that the Republican policy o
! protection has built up that trade.
