FEEE TRADE PLAINT
FAULT FOUND WITH BUREAU OF
STATISTICS
Yet the Figures Sent Out by the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
Simply Show Real Conditions of the
Country’s Industrial Progress
The Springfield Republican is great-
ly exercised over the bulletins sent
cut by the Bureau of Statistics which
has now been transferred from the
Treasury department to the Depart-
ment of Commerce and Labor The
Republican does not attempt to im-
pugn the accuracy or truth of the in-
formation sent out its only objection
being apparently that the bulletins
help the cause of protection by chron-
icling the prosperous condition of the
country as shown in both our foreign
and home commerce It" says: “These
government specials to the news-
papers average two or three a week
and as high tariff preachments they
are not excelled by anything the
American Protective Tariff League Is
doing” That is both high praise for
the department and in itself the full-
est possible vindication of the wisdom
of the framers of the Dingley law
The articles sent out once or twice
a week by Mr Austin are summaries
for the most part of our foreign com-
merce and our internal trade They
are generally actual figures with once
in a while the figures for a single
month estimated but always very
conservatively Almost since the very
beginning of the government It has
been thought a matter of wisdom to
give to the country the fullest pos-
sible statistics concerning our trade
particularly our foreign trade For
the past half century have these fig-
ures been given out quite in detail
and there is no one but the most hope-

m
less pessimist who will hot acknowl-
edge that such information is not only
Instructive but almost Invaluable If
then such figures are worth while to
collect and print once a year as Is
done in the “Statistical Abstract” or
once a month as is dc-ne in the “Sum-
mary of Commerce and Finance”
then surely a weekly or even a daily
gathering of similar figures must be
both interesting and of value to all
those concerned
As regards the "promotion of the
high tariff propaganda” the honest
figures of the country’s industrial ad-
vance during the last five years must
tend to that very end Mr Austin
does not manufacture his figures or
his facts he simply compiles and re-
ports them as he finds them on the of-
ficial or authoritative records As the
Republican says: “These figures are
spread out in specially prepared arti-
cles and mailed to the press for pub-
lication on a specified day” This is
true and a large portion of the press
of the country feel deeply indebted
to Mr Austin and his associates for
this work The busy editor has neither
the means nor the time to collect
these figures and present them to
his readers as he would like to The
Bureau of Statistics is 'Intended for
the very purpose and the result of its
work is the property of the public
The disloyal papers which do not
want to publish anything reflecting
credit upon their country will leave
them alone the papers who are
proud of their country’s record In in-
dustry as well as war publish them
or a part of them as they see fit
Evidently the Republican man is
mad clear through because the coun-
try did not go to the demnitlon bow
wows during the late decline in
stocks He no doubt had his famous
editorial “I told you so” all ready
and being left high and dry by a flurry
instead of a panic he of course must
get even somewhere and so he goes
for Mr Austin and the “high tariff
propaganda” A newspaper that finds
fault with the publications of honest
facts and figures calling attention to
the progress of the country either In
its foreign or domestic trade po mat-
ter from what sources or for what pur-
pose the figures emanate and are pro-
mulgated is not to be appeased by
anything short of absolute free trade
and the most panicky of panics that
could possibly follow The figures
sent out from Washington to the
newspapers are not like the weather
reports which are purely guess work
or the crop reports which are not ab-
solute but simply estimates founded
upon certain conditions On the con-
trary these figures of trade and com-
merce are actual reports of accom-
plishment and for that reason cannot
be considered "In any way as promot-
ing any fiscal policy When our bal-
ance of trade is six hundred millions
we are told so and when it falls below
four hundred millions we are told
that We are simply told the truth In
each and every case no matter what
it is or what brought it about or what
will be Its effect and every impartial-
honest editor In the country as well
as every loyal reader has nothing
but thanks to express to the depart-
ment and to the statistician who fur-
nishes us with these interesting fig-
ures and facts concerning' our In-
dustrial progress
WOULD DESTROY CONFIDENCE
Cuban Reciprocity Treaty Would Af-
fect Michigan Prosperity
Congressman Fordney writes to the
American Economist as follows:
Saginaw West Side Mich July 25
1903 Editor American Economist
New York Dear Sir: Apropos to
your strenuous fight for protection
and incidentally against the proposed
Cuban Reciprocity measure I Inclose
a clipping from a local paper which
goes to show what the American
sugar beet and beet sugar industries
3
may develop into if given the same
chance in the future which they have
had in the past What is true of
Michigan will In time be true of
other states if confidence in ' the
business is not destroyed by harmful
legislation It may be- urged that
a 20 per cent cut will not destroy the
Industry That might be true but it
certainly will destroy confidence In
the industry and 'retard its develop-
ment to say the least And is an
American congress going to strike
this all important enterprise as well
as others a body blow simply to as-
sist the Cuban farmer on the surface
but in reality the Sugar Refining
Trust? Respectfully
J W FORDNEY
The newspaper clipping to which
Congressman Fordney alludes is from
the Courier-Herald of Saginaw Mich
an important center of the sugar beet
and beet sugar factories The article
is headed “Don’t Monkey With the
Sugar Beet” and is intended to show
the vital importance of sugar beet cul-
ture in that part of Michigan as af-
fecting the prosperity alike of the
farmers and the wage earners who
find employment in the beet fields
For example two girls both under
thirteen years of age last week re-
ceived $1369 apiece for weeding sugar
beets This one item is pointed out
as an inkling of the reason why the
agricultural Interest' of this section
of the state stands so solidly against
anything proposed at Washington that
bears any menace to the beet sugar
Industry and- also why Congressman
Fordney last fall had the good will
of the people of the country districts
f the Eight Congressional district
without regard to their party connec-
tions The Courier-Herald closes by
saying:
“The sugar beet has been a potent
and large factor in the prosperity of
this section ’of Michigan And any
one who approaches it around here
with intent to minimize its influence
will run up against trouble”
