EXPORTS AND RETALIATION.
Three recent events in relation to the
tariff are worthy of note : First , the
rapid growth of the country's exports ;
second , the recent consolidation of
great manufacturing enterprises , and in
particular that of the iron trades ; third ,
the recent adverse tariff retaliation on
the part of Russia against the United
States.
Manufacturing consolidations , aided
by ample capital and under the stimu
lus of providing a market for these
enormous outputs , have very greatly
accelerated the export movement of
merchandise from the United States.
The country has plainly outgrown the
original purpose of the tariff , which can
no longer be defended on the ground of
the protection it affords to infant indus
tries. Many of these industries now
dominate the world's markets , and the
sole relation of the tariff to them con
sists in the aid it supplies to bolster up
trusts at home , while enabling competi
tion to be more successfully pushed
abroad.
Attention has recently been directed
to this phase of the question by two ex-
attorney-generals of the United States ,
Messrs. Harmon and Miller ; and the
bill introduced by Representative Babcock -
cock , which provides for the removal of'
tariff restrictions , protecting trusts , also
indicates the growth of popular dis
content at home.
The discriminating attitude of Russia
against A'merican products is the first
formal effective protest on the part of a
foreign nation against the policy of this
country , which , while seeking to close
its own ports against foreign goods ,
at the same time asks equal trading
privileges abroad for its productions.
We are now brought face to face with
the fact that existing tariff restrictions
on the trade of the country are no
longer of domestic importance in the old
sense , but are rapidly assuming interna
tional significance.
In addition to the home market , we
are coming to have command of the
world's markets. As long as England
was the leading commercial nation , her
international relations wereof necessity ,
more extensive and complex than those
of other countries ; and , now that we
are assuming her place in this role , we
must not as a matter of choice , but of
necessity assume larger international
obligations , with their consequent re
sponsibilities.
How will the United States meet this'
great international responsibility , which
its natural resources and the enterprise
of its people have brought upon it ?
England gave up its policy of repres
sion and exploitation after the Ameri
can Revolution had exposed the fallacy
of such policy. It remains to be seen
whether our country will promptly
change its antiquated commercial laws
for those in accord with prevailing ten-
