Recipiocity Is Urged. Theie i.s general acttulestence In our picscnl tariff system as a national policy. The first requisite .to our pros- peilty is the continuity and stability of this economic policy. Nothing- could he more unwise than to dls tuib the business intetcsts of the ;ountry by any general latiff ohango al this time. Doubt, apprehen sion, uncertainly are exactly what wo most wish to nx-oid lu the interest of our commercial and material xx ell-being. Our expeilcnce. In the pasl, haa shoxvn that sweeping revisions of the tatiff ar apt to pro duce londHions closely approaching panic In tho busi ness world. Yet 11 Is not only possible, but eminently desirable, lo combine with tlie stability pf our econo mic s..xstem a' supplementary system of reciprocal benefit and obligation with other natlotts. Such reci procity Is an Incident and result of the firm estab lishment and preserx-ation of our present economic, policy. U was specially proxlded for in the present tariff laxv. Ileilprocity must be treated as the handmaiden, of protection. Our tlrst duty Is to see that the ptoAcc lion giained by the tatiff In every case whete U is ueed.tl Is maintained, and that reciprocity be sought for. so far as it can safely be done without iiiinry tn our home industries. Just how far this is, must bu deteimlncd according" to the Individual case, rciuem beriuu alivas thai every application of owr tariff policy to meet our shifting national needs, must hi condltion-d upon tho cardinal fact that tin: duties must never be reduced below tho point that, xxill cox or ihe difference between the labor cost hete. und a broad, Tho well-being" of tho -wage-worker is a prime consideration ol out" entire policy of economic legislation, Subject to this proviso ot tho proper protection necessary to our Industrial well-being- at home, the Ptlnciple of reciprocity must command our heany supjioil. Tho phenomenal growth pf our export trade emphasizes tho urgency of the need for wider matkelH and for a liberal policy lu dealing- with foi 'Ign nations. Whatever is merely petty nud x"e.a ilous in the way of trade tcstrlclloiis. should bi molded, Tho customers to whom we dispone of our surplus products In tho long- tun, directly or Indirect ly, purchase thoio sutplus products by gixing us something in latum. Their ability to purchase our pioducts should, as far as possible, be. secured, by so arranging- our tariff as to enable, us to tako from them thoso products, which wo cuu usn without hmni in our own Industries and labor, or the use of whl.h will be of marked benefit to us. It Is moet Important that m should maintain thr hlgh level of our present prosperity. Wo haxe now reached tlte point in tho development of our :ntirc"ts whero wc are not only able to supply our own mm kets but to produce a constantly growing surplus t'oi which we must find markets abroad. To weciue thc-e markets we can utilize existing duties lu am- ci-e where they aro no longer needed for the put pose of inotactlon, or lu any caHO whoro the article is not produced hero and the duty Is no longer necessary for revenue, as giving us something to offer in e-ichaiitu for what wo ask. Tho cordial relations with other nations which are so desirable will naturally be pin looted by tho courso thus irnulred by our own Intel est s. Tho natural lino of development (or a, policy of reciprocity will bo in connection with those of out productions which no longer require nil of the sup port onco needed to establish them upon ii sound basis, and with thoso others whero either becnusr of natural or of economln causes we tin- be.xond the rea oh of successful competition, I ask tho attention of tho scnnle to the ie, ptecliy ucatlcs laid before it by my prcdecsjoi Tor n Merchant Ma line, The condition of Hn AuieiKiiii merchant marine is sin. it as in cull ror Immediate remedial ae. lion hy congress.
