REAL CHEAPNESS.
I.ji the Kind Ths*t III" Ilclaccd
aiillluns to Hunscer.
In tlio second section of liis interest
i: • talks to llrst voters Mr. John P.
\.ung takes up the subject of the
-Cheap Loaf," which the British work
r..,inan was promised as the result of
l'ree trade. This promise of half a
0 atury ago reads strangely today in
the light of the grim fact that nearly
pn>-third ol' the population of Great
Britain is suffering for want of food.
No longer ago than June 5, 1003, Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman, a stanch
lree trader and a bitter opponent of
Mr. Chamberlain's preferential plan of
t iting the colonics, said fn a speech
at Perth:
"In this country we know, thanks to
the investigations of Mr. Seebohm
r :\vntree and Mr. Charles Booth, that
there is about 30 per cent of our pop- ]
ul: .ion underfed and on the verge of .
ltuy.rer. Thirty pet* cent of 41,000,000 'i
comes to something over 12,000,000."
Facing such conditions as these, it is
small wonder that a month or two i
1 ; •, Mr. Chamberlain should have de
clared that the main question Is not i
the cost of bread, but the ability to
!>•:v bread. The cheap loaf has proved
anything but cheap to those who are
ait money to buy it at any price.
1 !•.•" trade holds up cheapness as the
I-.rir.i-.' consideration: Cheap food lirst.
eh'-:;p wages as a resultant and cheap
products as a means of underselling
the rest of the world. Twelve million
out of 41,000.000 Britons are on the
verse of starvation. That is how free
trade and the cheap loaf have worked.
Contrast this with the conditions in a
country where to secure cheapness is
not the chief end and aim. On this
point Mr. Young's pungent comment is
as follows:
"British free traders say that the
T'nited States is a dear country. So it
is, and it is so because the standard of
living of the masses is high. And the
standard is high because higher wages
arc demanded in this country. But
the American worker attains real
cheapness; he gets things. That is the
touchstone."
A Striking Baitinesi Pact.
The treasury statistics for the fiscal
year 1003 show a large Increase dur
ing that period in the imports of manu
facturers' materials—in other words,
that more raw materials were bought
abroad than ever before. The value
m these imports was nearly $300,000,-
< !»(), the value of the crude products be
i;iLT $375,000,000, the Increase for the
year being about $50,000,000. The
value of partially manufactured raw
material was $114,000,000, the increase
being $23,000,000.
1 Of the crude materials the increase
of $50,000,000 in value was divided
among raw silk, India rubber, wool,
chemicals, fibers, tin and copper. In
partially manufactured materials the
largest increase was in iron and steel,
being $24,000,000. Pig iron increased
$ 13.< 100,000, scrap iron over $1,000,000
and steel about $7,000,000.
One thing certain Is that this heavy
i 'Tease in imports of manufacturers'
materials did not result In chrtailing
industrial operations in this country
iu the production of raw materials,
nor did it check the production of fin
ished products in any way. In 1902.
for instance, the United States produc
ed 40 per cent of the world's supply of
pig iron, as it did also of steel products.
The importation of raw materials
and those partially manufactured, it
seems, was stimulated last year by the
unusual and unprecedented demand
upon the industrial establishments of
this country. In other words, Ameri
can manufacturers were unable to sup
ply the demand for their products,with
out Koing to foreign countries for ma
terials which could not be supplied
here.
Could there be more striking evi
dence of the wondei'ful industrial de
vel. ;i;nont that has taken place in the
raited States within the past six or
< a years':—New York Commercial.

A claim embodying a proviso of this
. ind should lx' added to the Cuban

i iprocity treaty. What time congress
occupied in tinkering our tariff sys
tem to the detriment of American pro
>;'icers of sugar, tobacco, fruits, vege
. tbles, etc., it might to some extent re
in- the mischief by doing something
toward the upbuilding of American
hipping, it seems queer that In all
■ IC schemes and projects for "reciproc
ity" the American ship should always
ho loft out. Lias it no friends in con
gress?
