seeking Foreign Trade.

The government has just established
at Washington a new bureau to fur
Their trade between this country and
the Orient. Republican editors make
a great TODD about it and declaim
loudly upon the great export possibili-
ties which American manufacturers
are to realize within the next few
years.
AS a matter of fact, with the excep-
ton of comparatively few industries.
the American manufacturer is not anx-
iois for a foreign market, as long as
he is sure of the home market with a
protective tariff so outrageously high
that he can make vast profits out of
American consumers. Any man who
has tried to interest American manu-
facturers in export trade knows to
his sorrow that this is fact.
In 1905 the total value of the prod
ucts of all the manufacturing indus
tries of the United States was $l4,-
500. 147,0S7. OF this goods to the value
of $900,S94.224 were exported. Does
anyone pretend to say that American
manufacturers desire foreign markets
and cannot find customers abroad for
per cent of their products?
The American manufacturer would
rather sell to the american consumer
than to anyone else in the world, be.
cause, thanks to our enormously high
| tariff, he can exact from the American
consumer a far higher price thin he
can secure in England, or Australia,
or China, or any other place.
He sells his steel rails, his witches,
his copper wire, his shoes. his furni-
ture. his typewriters. his jewelry, ev.
erything he makes, at lower prices in
any other country in the world than
in the country where he does his man
ufacsuring.
He is Ect worried one little bit about
extending his trade into foreign lands,
bur if the gentlemen who seem to be
so anxious to see him push his wares
abroad are really in earnest, they can
easily accomplish their ends.
Reduce the tariff to reasonable
level. cut down the so per cent and so
per cent dividends now paid on the
watered stock of Eastern trusts, and

enough to please the most sanguine
