Expansion in Trade Under Protection Policy Highlighted
The Treasury reports September 1900 exports 115.63 million and imports 59.56 million, giving a 56.07 million surplus. For the nine months ended September 30, 1900 exports and imports show a strong surplus versus 1895 Democratic policy, with exports nearly doubling while imports rise modestly due to higher demand for manufacturers materials and robust U.S. labor.

The article argues the Wilson Gorman law hurt manufacturing while protection revived it. It lists American exports of major manufactured goods under three years of low tariff and protection, showing growth in total manufacture and specific sectors like iron and steel, mineral oils, copper, cotton, chemicals, wood, paper, and more. It ends by asking whether protection or free trade best aids American labor and markets.
