is in wages and savings that the greatest
advance is shown, and where do we ever
see the fruits of protection that we dc
not see increased wages and (image?
In the last generation the wages of
our people have increased more than
sevenfold and our savings more than
twelvofold, and during the same time
we have paid off nearly $2,000, 000,000
of national debt. In 1860 our experts
amounted to $333,576,057, in 1892 to
$1,030,278, 148, and yet, enormous as is
our foreign trade, it is small indeed
compared with our domestic trade,
which last year was estimated to be
about $60, 000, 000, 000.
Now we are asked to give up this-
grand home market in the hopes of in-
creasing our foreign sales by a few mil—
lions. Wc are asked to accept half or
quarter of these wages. We are asked
to draw out thcsc savings :uid buy tlu’
