I ~i6'v )J WILL BE BROUGHT ABOUT IF IT COMES AT ALL. Hociliroclty In Competitive ProdaetM Would I tievi tn lily I.en<l to tlie Downfall of the Sywtem of Protect- ; ins Lalxir mill Industry. In contending that reciprocity in -ompetitive products is the right policy the United States to adopt tlie Des Moines Register and Leader, a Repub lic in' newspaper, exhibits a "progres sive" tendency far in advance of the general mass of Republican writers and speakers. At its present rate of "progress" it will soon land squarely ! In the free trade camp. It can land i nowhere else, for once the system of j protection begins to be abrogated in spots through special trade arrange- j meats whereuuder foreigners are en- i couraged to undersell American prod ucts in tlie American market protec- ' lion as a national and uniform policy ■ must cease to exist. Keciprocity in competitive products is the beginning of the end of protection. . That is why such reciprocity is op- j posed by the American I'rotective Tar- ; iff league. For the same reason tha best Republican thought of the country opposes it. Outside of a few special lo calities which clamor for free trade in the tilings they have to buy, but insist j upon protection for the tilings they I have to sell—outside of lowa and cer- j tain parts of New England, where some > people 'foolishly imagine that they can j have free coal, free iron ore, free wool, free hides, etc., while at the same time retaining tariff protection on their tin- j ished products—generally speaking, we say, there is no sentiment among Re- j publicans for reciprocity in competitive ■products. If therefore the Tariff league is in line with Republican thought on i this question, is it not doing a good work for Republicanism and protec tionism in endeavoring to point out the | danevrs anj disadvantages of reciproe in competitive products? The Dm . UoinOs Register and Leader, however, ; thinks otherwise: The Protective Tariff league and the ! American Economist in their opposition J to Cuban reciprocity have done more to j weaken the hold which the protective policy has upon the American people j and to give color to the suspicion, which Democratic free traders are al ways ingeniously encouraging, that perhaps after all the policy is dictated more by selfish interests than any other two agencies that have been engaged iu • 1 1 • • recent discussion.

It lias always been the practice of protectionists to avoid theoretical rea soning and to base all argument and conclusion upon nctiiiil facts and fig ures, drawing comparison with the ex periences of the past rather than in dulging in guesswork for the future. It will be instructive at this time togo back just fifty years to the "prosper ous" free trade times of 1853 and com pare them with the prosperous protec tion times of lOtti. At the former pe riod all conditions except low duties had been most favorable for a number of years and conducive to prosperity. Soon after the enactment of the Walk er tariff in 1546 came the Mexican war, the famine and short crops abroad, tlie discovery of gold in California and the political upheavals in Europe, which culminated in the Crimean war of 1854-55. Said the Hon. William 1). Kelley in congress Feb. 10, ISO 7, speak ing of the causes which led to the de plorable condition of the country iu ISTm and the years following: "The decade that followed that year (1847) was a memorable one. The po tato rot decimated Ireland, affecting the other British islands, and spread to the continent of Europe, and we ex ported in one year tlie then unprece dented amount of $08,000,000 of grain. We imported and consumed the Im mense quantities of foreign goods, and as the quantity of these increased the demand for the labor of the American workman diminished. We imported coal for use in the manufactories and the propulsion of locomotives. We im ported rails to lay over our coal fields and iron beds. Wages fell to rates as low as they had been In 1820 and 1821 or in 1810 and 1841. California gold had fled from us as from a pestilence. We had nothing to show for our un usual exports of grain and provisions. The resources of the government were shrinking monthly and its credit was again destroyed, and in little less than ten years from the going into effect of the revenue tariff of 1840 the entire banking system of the country col lapsed. The people were prostrated and idle and discontented." During the fiscal year 1853 our im ports amounted to $203,777,205, while our exports were only $203,489,282. An adverse balance of trade amounting to $00,000,000 fifty years ago was a se rious condition, and yet for tlie previ ous six years the balance of trade had been against us annually. Over SIOO,- 000,000 of gold had already been sent abroad in part liquidation for the cheap goods which we were importing to the displacement of goods that we should have made at home. In short, for sev eral years we had been employing the cheap labor of Europe to do our manu facturing for us. The figures of im ports and production of bar and pig iron for the few years following IS4O will show how the former increased and the latter fell off: IMPORTS AND PRODUCTION OF BAR AND PIG IRON. Imports. Production. Tons. Tons. IS 16 60.025 765.000 IS4B 153,377 800,u00 ISW 289,687 650.000 ISuo!!!! 337,532 56-1,000 1851 341,750 413,000 The above figures are taken from Hunt's Merchants' Magazine for Feb ruary, 1852. We tvere consequently idle, particu larly in our workshops. Our total man ufactures in ISSO were valued at only a little over $1,000,000,000, and it is estimated that in 1553 the value of our manufactures was even less than this amount. And yet in 1003, with only about three times the population that we had in 1853, we are manufacturing fully fifteen times as much as during the free trade year of fifty years ago. In tlie latter half of 1853 there were numerous and important failures, fol lowed by a great stringency in the money market and a consequent con traction of loans and discounts. The fact of tlie matter was that by 1553 this country had to depend upon ordi nary and usual conditions ot' business. We had been feeding a large portion of the world besides ourselves, we had been expending an unusual amount of money for the expenses of war, we had been digging out of tlie ground mil lions upon millions of gold to add to our wealth and we had been reaping advantages from many and unusual outward and extraordinary events un til, when we were left to our own re sources and to the normal condition of business, and that, too, without any work to do. as our markets were glut ted with the cheap goods made by for eign labor, then came the signs of pan ic and business depression, which deep ened as the years went on till ruin stared us in the face, both as a nation and individuals. Political writers at that time and since have called attention to an excess of revenue which existed during those earlier years of that free trade period from IS4O to 1801. It is true that there was an excess of revenue during the first yeiys of that period, but this was not wholly due to customs duties. I.arg> sums were realized in those days from the sale of public lands. For Instance, In the years of 1854-55-50 there war nearly $"0,000,000 realized from sueli sales. But It must be reulbmbered that the treasury of 1853, or. In fact, of any year during the free trade pe riod of IS4O to 1801, had no such provl sions to make, even comparatively, jjs those at present. For instance, our ex pendituros in 1553 amounted to s4l. 000,000. There was no $140,000,000 for pensions in those days; there was n<" $30,000,000 for Interest on the pul::t< MAGAZINE CLUBBING OFFERS j FOR.
