'• ! I am very jflad Indeed that the senators and representatives'of lowa will n«t'-unite in the movement. as it is wholly adverse to lowa and lowa interests and, as I be lieve. to the material .welfare of the. peo ple of the ehtire reptiblie, Including"-Mas sachusetts. I lies leave' to call; your attention t» sev crr.l erroneous conclusions- yon J.ench hi your letter, especially as reeards lowa i ami the.*jve-itern states. You demand free j trade-with Onnada. a4-id ->ot -you admit, i specifically, that "every, branch of ma.nu- ! factures is gradually springing tip amid ' the western prairies and on the southern plains." Xo one knows this better than the people of the West, and they frankly j admit they li'.;» it and do not wont tbo - growth nf- their Industries checked'by a : revision of the tariff. You will hardly deny [ that your plan , of revision would have that result, for in the latter part of your j article you deplore the rapid development ! of American industry atid reach the re-*! markabl« conclusion: • ".par better would i it have been'fol' the 1 'nited States if the development of her industries had been ! more gradual, if European competition ; had limiti d profits ami prevented monop- : oly and graft!" In other words, and very ' plain words, you think there is too much industrial prosperity lii the T"iiile3 States, too much capital Invert' 1 and too maijy ! men employed and too hj«;h wages paid in this country. All tiiopc would have j been less, jest as you «aj~ if there had bei n more ICnropci.n competition. I ad- ' mire yo::r frankness, \vhU»> 1 lament your lack of patriotic « ntl.te I'asni for the de- : velopment of our diversified American ! Industries. • . If you are of a reasoning anil logical ] turn of mind you will readily perceive ! Why your proposition does not favorably i impress the people of lowa and the Mis- ! sissippl valley, who are enjoying- unprece dented jiroKperli) under prc.-u nt i-conotuic . conditions. They see no r asun and baye 1 no desire for a change, at least until they have some assurance, based upon prac- i tlcal experience, that c«m!itions can bo j made still bc-lier by change. Your sug- j gestion if free trade with Canada, revives . memories of the unfavorable, experience ; which led to the repe/tl of a former rijci procity treaty with (Vthafla. I'pon this , 'point the t -ilniony of severui presidents j and cabinet ministers and foremtist states- -i men of the republic removes the necessity ; for further argument. j Hut 1 beg leave to especially call your j attcctjon to thi protest by the greatest of western interests-, 'the farmer.' against] your proposition for free trade with Can- ! iitla In natural products. You must con cede. you do coyicojj'. that Xi w ICnglajid J now has a large volume of free'.trade with I Canada. To quote 'your own words, ! "Nearly one-half of the present imports ' and exports between-1 he two countries, j amounting to more than .-$i0ij;000,000 au-' nually. are ulready on the free list." It j must be, and is.- n liberal'tariff which does thai and still claims to be'protective. What iriore VtnrnT Ve. ask...], "reasonably, than that-—ui>less it is. ii+itp'oseil to do away with the protective system entirely ! and substitute free trade? If that Is your I real, if not revealed, purpose, that would | practically end all discussion, for 1 only I seek to. "point to the error of your con- I elusions if j oil claim to base them tipon j a continuance Of..protection, ' - j You say openly: "This trade can be; greatly extended if the present artificial j barriers are removed. The I'nited States fiecds Canadian coal, lumber, iron ore, wood pulp, wool, hides, hay, fish, poultry j and dairy products. In exchange Canada needs a thousand manufactured- Articles which the I 'nited Slates only, can supply." t Tilts being, true, why should the lowa or Illinois, farmer pay taxes to. support ! the national government ;ucl • adtn't free , into the I'nited States the' f|ht£(xed prod ucts of the Canadian farmer io'cht out the home market pf the. Western farmer? You admit manufactures are developing In the prairie states under the protective tariff, but make the strange claim that they are developing too rapidly. Are you rfriv to be understood that western agri culture is, devVJrtying too rarildJy, and, like manufactn'res.'.li woujil. have been better "If European -(Canadian) . competi tion had limited profits," etc.i? Tha.t you honestly believe the free importation of Canad:an farm products wonld cut down the profits of the farmers of the -Western states is revealed in yqvr that - " :••• ■ i litirinf?
