COMPETITION, BUT NOT DESTRUCTION
The importers of foreign goods in this country and their
attorneys and lobbyists, the free trade theorists, and some
well meaning Americans with a wrong slant, keep saying
that the imposition of the protective duties proposed by the
tariff law now going through Congress will prevent the
European nations from paying their debts to the United
States. : ,
:; They argue that since those countries have no money
with which to pay, they must pay in goods, and if we impose
an import duty which will prevent them from paying in
goods' they will not be able to pay at all
f And they conclude, with oracular finality, that the en
actment of the protective tariff law will prevent the United
States from collecting the billions now due from European
nations and the other billions that will become due in the
form of interest.
1 It may be conceded that ultimately the debts of other
nations to the United States must be paid partly in goods
But throughout practically all the history of the United
States this country, has sold to Europe more commodities
than It; has bought from Europe; the balances in favor of
this country being paid in services of various kinds, particu
larly in the loaning of capital, ocean transportation, the writ
ing of marine insurance, and the entertainment of tourists.
It is; not likely that for many years to come European
countries will perform great services to the United States in
the nature of loaning capital; and itfemains a question soon
to. be determined whether those nations will render great
services in the form of ocean transportation or marine in
surance ) T But it may be safely asserted that in the future as in
the past, and likely more extensively in the future than in
ihe past. European nations will render services to the people
of the United States who travel and sojourn for many pur-
Doses on the other side of the ocean
i And it is conceivable even that these services may be
sufficient to finally liquidate the debts to the United States,
and to keep up the interest till the debts shall have been 11
nallv wiDed out
Bat it is not necessary to conceive such a limitation; for
it has never been the policy of Republican writers of tariff
laws to impose duties that would shut out foreign commodi
ties entirely; or to limit their total volume even for the
free list, in past Republican tariff laws, and in the one now
beincr put through." has been and is long
And the purpose of protective duties is not to shut off
imports, but merely to impose rates that shall represent the
difference in cost of production Jiere and abroad, so that the
American producer will market his commodity in domestic
trade on an equality with his foreign competitor.
i If there be a commodity, for instance, which can be pro
duced for one dollar in the United States but could be pro
duced and shipped over here from Europe at a cost of sev
enty cents, there would be a margin of profit to the Euro.
pean producer of thirty cents on the commodity. That is to
say, if the American producer sold at cost the European pro
ducer could make thirty cents on a seventy cent article by
shippirigjt here. He could put the American producer out
of business by selling at 95 cents and still make twenty-five
cents profit." At that rate European nations could very rap
idly liquidate the debt to the United States, for, in the
face cl that kind of competition American mills would be
closed, American labor would go out of employment and
we would send our money to Europe to make profits for for
eign capital and foreign labor, which profits would be sent
back here to pay of f the debts. That would be payment of
the debt in goods, but at the sacrifice of American industry.
What Republicans propose is that there shall be practi
cally a thirty cent tariff levied on a commodity which can
be produced for seventy cents in Europe but which costs one
dollar to ; produce in the United States, so that if the for
eigner markets his commodity here he must cut his profits
and shall not be in apposition to force the American producer
out of business. To permit the producer of a seventy cent
foreign article to market it here in rivalry with a dollar
American article would not be competition, it would be de
struction. ' , . ' i
The Silurians who argue that
there; will be nb imports rrora
Europe, and therefore no debts
paid by European governments,
because the United States is fix
ing duties to represent the dif
ference between costs of produc
tion in this country and European
countries, are invited to wait and
watch. The imports will con
tinue the duties paid on them
will help to reduce federal taxes
in this country, : and, still more
important, our fountry will re
fuse to allow out industries that
must compete with Europe to be
killed by a competition that
would drive thejm to the wall.
That Is all there is to it, and all
there; will be; and foreign prod
ucts will continue to come to th's
country in larger volume than
ever before, owing to the larger
ability of our people to buy, be
cause! of their protection against
stifling and ruinous competition.

balance of 133,000,000 in cash
for' the transpbrtatlon of Ameri

it is explained that this is a mat
ter of bookkeeping. Under th
war jcontract Uncle Sam agreed
to pay so much a head for tak
ing the American soldiers across
In British ships and this was the
balance still remaining in that
account. The fact that Great
Britain is owing us a few billion
dollars which We may never get
make's do difference in this set
tlement. It is red tape and book
keeping and therefore sacred.
