The American economist argues that the claim American manufacturers sell abroad cheaper than at home is a weak point in protection critiques. In fiscal 1912 US manufactures totaled about 21 billion dollars with exports near 1 billion, under 5 percent shipped abroad. Some exports fetch lower prices, but many do not, and overall export price cutting is minuscule compared with production. Foreign buyers pay for goods made by highly paid American labor, keeping money in the US.
