All our gain would have been confined to the few industries, or possibly to the single industry, whose representatives were so fortunate as to participate in the secret councils of the negotiators of this treaty. To accomplish this gain, which is infinitesimal, what should we have lost? Almost certainly we should have sacrificed the commercial good will of Great Britain. That nation is not only our best customer, but is worth more to us than all other customers combined. She takes more than 50 ...per cent, of all our exports of every kind and description. On the other hand, she manufactures many of the products which this treaty would admit from France under conditions which would shut out altogether like goods from Great Britain. England could not overcome this discrimination by negotia- ting a similar reciprocity treaty with us, because she already admits all American products, whether of agriculture or manufacture, except tobacco and spirits, absolutely free of customs, duties, and restrictions.
