Of ]i 11 tho perils, yellow anil other wise, which Europe dreads, American Industrial and commercial supremacy is the chief. The Yankee invasion is continually floating before the eyes of European manufacturers. 'i lie idea of forming a zollverein, or commercial union, against the United Suites took root long ago over there and would now be an accomplished fact were it not for internal difficulties which have stood in the way. England's threatened reversal of her ancient free trade policy has lately added another twinge of uneasiness to the situation and caused a renewal of the agitation of the past few years. Tlie head of the movement is I)r. Ju lius Wolff, professor of natural eco nomics at Breslau. in an address recently delivered at Vienna Professor Wolff made an ear nest plea for united action against American competition, lie urged all the manufacturing countries of Europe 1> sink their individual differences anil present an unbroken front to the en emy. not in exactly these words, but this is what he meant. He was willing that they should be "just and equita ble" in their treatment of the United Suites and did not propose to provoke a tariff war. lie would only advocate reprisals in kind, if, for instance, America should impose a duty of 00 per cent on a certain class of European merchandise, lie would give the Yan kees reciprocity in a literal sense. l'rofessor Wolff tinds one great ob stacle, as already intimated, right in Europe. The various European coun tries are as jealous of each other as tliey are of the United States; they have little tariff wars of their own very frequently, and In combining for mutual defense against Uncle Sam each would eagerly insist upon its own individual advantage. Another thing which the eminent instructor in natural economics overlooks is that the superi ority of American goods, plus the pow er of the United States government to legislate for the benefit of our indus tries in the future as it has in the past, would enable the Yankee invasion to hold its own. Canada, for Instance, discriminates in favor of the mother country and against us in her tariff, and yet more American goods are imported into the British-American possessions today than ever before. l'rofessor Wolff might as well cancel his lecture engagements and yield to the inevitable. ltochester Democrat- Chronicle. SAME OLD PARTY. DrmorratN to Heforni the Tiirlff on DeatructlTC I.IIM-H. In a speech delivered in the house on Feb. 18 Representative Wade of lowa concluded as follows: "Gentlemen, the ship of Democracy is coming in, and it will be tied up to the dock here about the 4tli of March, ltM's. There is no occasion for any man in any line of employment in this great land to feel that there is any danger to any legitimate enterprise." This statement has a very familiar sound. It was the same sort of talk tlnit prevailed in 1844, when James K. Polk said to the manufacturers of Pennsylvania that he was in favor of protection and American industry. It is the same sort of statement that Gro ver Cleveland made in 1802, when he said at Madison Square Garden on July 20, "We are not recklessly heed less of any American interests, nor will we abandon our regard for them." in his letter of Sept. 20 he said: "Tariff reform is still our purpose. We wage no exterminating war against any American interests. We believe a readjustment can be accom plished in accordance with the princi ples we profess without disaster or demolition. We contemplate a fair anil careful distribution of ncccssaiy tariff burdens rather than the precipi tation of free trade. We will rely up> \ the intelligence of our fellow-country men to reject the charge that a party comprising a majority of our peop e is planning the destruction or iuju: y of American interests." And yet the election of l'olk w t followed by the most destructive tar V of 1840, and the election of Clevelai ! was followed by the disastrous free trade tariff of 1804. We hardly thin': the American people will again be de ceived in this matter. The Democrat ic party—the free trade party—cann t be trusted to legislate for American labor and American industries. We have had altogether too much experi ence in this matter to allow tariff re vision to again be placed in their hands. I nulHiloin of Parker Booiurm. The Parker boomers are urging Mr. Hryan to follow Mr. Cleveland's exam ple and come out for the judge. But so far the would be president has not sec onded the motion of the ex-president. And it is a safe wager that he will not. ' 'n the contrary, tho Cleveland advo cacy is more than likely to repel tho Bryan support. The Parker boomers ,'ro not wise in making this suggestion. It merely shows the continued division in the party. Times. ? " ii Pub ■ 4 < 'lit to be u-< tune, and i therefore a benefit to the country hav ; tnjr such excess, Mr. Trueman and oth | ers must analyze thoroughly uud un derstand fully the difference between |an exchange of bullion, which is wealth, and an exchange of consuma ble and perishable merchandise. The subject is too deep and too vast to be discussed in a brief paper such as this. It has occupied the minds and the time of economists for more than a century. Pages and chapters and volumes have been written upon the subject, and no feature of it has escaped argument. We advise Mr. Trueman and others who find it so difficult to understand what after all is u simple and plain problem to read the works of econo mists who have written upon both sides of the subject, although It is almost universally conceded today that a bal ance of trade Is favorable and bene ficial to a country. Mr. Trueman says: "The imports of England exceed her exports, and England is cred itor nation of the world, getting richer and richer each year as the tribute from other countries flows to her." We should advise the man of today wiio can make the statement that Eng land is getting richer and richer each year to read some of the recent ad dresses of Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Balfour or to look into the investiga tion made i.y Mr. William Booth and many others concerning the condition of British agriculture and the British workiugman. England long since be gan to sap her capital and has been growing poorer and poorer for the last generation. Her public men nre now realizing it and confess it and are plot ting how to stop the drain which has and is yearly being made upon her once proud resources. While Great Britain has been losing her wealth for the last generation the United States has been augmenting her wealth und resources simply because we have kept our gold at home and have paid our obligations In merchan dise, which as a surplus over our own needs we could well spare. As well say that the spendthrift, who year aft er year in idleness spends for drink and pleasure, in addition to the neces sary amounts for food and clothes, more than his income, drawing upon the wealth bequeathed to him to settle his accounts, is growing richer and richer because lie imports more than he exports—a most absurd statement in deed. Mr. Trueman speaks of our farmers, who at the present time are "working so heroically to pay off mortgages that when they at last succeed they have nothing to consume the wretched docu ment in but a tallow candle." Mr. Trueman has evidently been reading the Democratic campaign documents of a decade ago and does not know of the wonderful revolution which has been brought about in the condition of our farmers by the operation of the Dingley law. Western farmers today are not paying off mortgages. They are loaning money to eastern capital ists, and the banks are tilled to over flowing with their savings. They have, thanks to a protective tariff law which has given wages and larger purchasing power to the manufacturing workers of the country, sold their products at a profitable price. They have sold more than they have bought and with the surplus have paid their mortgages, im proved their property and still have a remainder to deposit in the bank. In other words, their exports of merchan dise have exceeded their imports, and their wealth has correspondingly in creased. It is the same with a collec tion of individuals or a nation as it is with an individual. If more is sold than is bought there is a surplus for Investment or saving. The United Stiites is today selling more than she buys, and with that excess of sales she Is and has for some time not only been paying annual current obligations, but has been reducing the principal of her international debt. On the other hand, England lias been buying more than she has sold, and for this excess of imports she must settle in cash, and to do- so she must break in upon her principal—she must decrease her wealth. With her accu mulation of hundreds of years under protection, with her vast capital and investments abroad and her wide re sources, she was able for a time to show no apparent distress. That pe riod ceased at about 1874, and since then England has been growing rela tively poorer, her people have been getting more and more impoverished, with the result that today one-third of the workingtnen of the cities of Great Britain and their families would not know where tomorrow's food and shel ter were coming from were it not for charity, philanthropy and public help. Mr. Trueman may rest content, even If he does not understand it.in the fact that we have received a full equiv alent for our more than $4,000,000,000 worth of excess of exports. If we have had interest and rent and div idends and freight and other payments to this amount or to nearly this amount to settle, so much the better has it been for us that we have been enabled to settlle these immense obligations for the most part with merchandise which would have perished on our hands. Cotton, corn and wheat will not keep forever. Could we not Bell our surplus abroad it would not only in time become valueless here, but it would also serve to lessen the price of that which we do use, to the great loss of our agricultural population. As long as we continue under the opera tion of wise tariff laws, preserving our home market, so long shall we con tinue to sell more than we buy abroad, with a consequent balance upon the right side of the ledger, for which we receive a full equivalent, no matter I whether In gold or in the cancellation of iletts and charges which we other wise would have to pay lu gold.—Amer ican Economist.
