Building an Export Trade.

We cannot sell ABROAD WITHOUT ouy-
ing abroad to something like the same
extent" SAYS the editor of the New
York Journal of Commerce, publica-
ton with free-trade tendencies.
The trouble with the Democratic
tariff policy. however, is that it plays
both ends against the middle. Under
it our imports increase almost in an
inverse ratio as our exports decrease.
The Republican policy is so to adjust
tariff rates that the cost of production
at home and abroad may be balanced.
That gives the foreign manufacturers
an even break in the American market.
provided their products are of as good
quality and workmanship. Under the
Democratic free trade policy our do
mestic manufacturers have to fight to
retain the domestic market. How
then. can they energetically go about
the conquest Of foreign fields?
The editorial continues: Until we
can supply OtIcI SOohtlASo with "AoS
they want at as low a cost as they
can get it for elsewhere, and take our
pay in what they have to supply from
their own production, it is useless to
talk about extending our foreign
trade"
Useless" is strong word. Under
the scientifically adjusted rates of the
Republican tariff law Of 1909, our ex-
port trade increased from $1,710,0O0,0 900
in 1910 to s., 42s, 800 900 in 1918. and our
favorable trade balance from sS,0O0,-
600 in 1910 to s653 600, 900 in 1913. We
| took our pay mainly from foreign
goods of a homeopathic character.
or which, due to some peculiar quality,
or preference of the well-to-do Ameri-
can consumer, found a demand in our
market If the foreign manufacturer
| to any extent squared our export ac-
counts through the sale in this coun-
try Of his compettory articles, it was
because of lower interest rates and in
cidental expenses abroad which had
not been covered into the protective
duties Of the Republican law.
With particular reference to manu-
| features, there are two ways in which
the United States "can supply other
countries with what they want at as
| low a cost as they can get it else
where" One way is to pay our labor
ing men the European rates Of wages.
On an average, two-thirds the cost of
manufacture is paid out to labor in the
United States, and our average wage
scale is twice that of England, three
to four times that of Continental Eu-
rope. and II times that of the Asiatic
countries and Japan. Any manufac-
turer who wants to force even the
English rate on our American laboring
men is welcome to the job. The Dem
ocratic party tried it before and was
ousted, as it will be again.
The other way is to guarantee to
the American manufacturer the Ameri-
can market to such an extent that his
mill can run full time and at 100 per-
cent efficiency. The higher the eff
cheney the cheaper the cost Of produc-
ton. The consumption value of goods
in the United States has been estimat-
ed at $4,000, oOo, 900 annually. The larg-
err the share Of this consumption value
guaranteed to the American manu-
facture-, the greater the opportunity
for his mills to run full time, full ca
pacity, giving labor steady employ

DUTCH TALKING OF WAR !
Nation Inflamed Over Sinking Of the

:. The Hague, March 20--Fhe press
of the Netherlands, IN discussing the
sinking of the liner Fubantia, refers
to the possibilities of war between
Germany and Holland. Il
The Amsterdam Handelsblad, at
ter discussing the uselsssness Of such ss9l,
/; a conflict and considering the many
tics between the two countries, adds:
Nevertheless, nothing would be
more damaging to our independence
and national existence than the con-
viction gaining ground that we are
unprepared to shed our blood for the
defense of our rights and mdepen=
dence."
The Hanlesblad does not believe
however, it says, that Germany Will
withhold clear guarantees against a
! repetition Of such an incident as that
of the Tubantia and continues;
IF the attack was made against
the orders of the German Admiralty
I'VE expect the submarine commander
will get what pirate deserves"
The Nieuwc Rotterdamschc Couran:
says:
"If the German Navy seeks a. con-
flict with us, It should say so. Inc
