Report for the Year 1868. 38 THE TARIFF POLICY OF taxation shall depend on the will and action of the several States, so long as the rates of wages and of interest in our country are kept up by the abundance of land and the demand for labor, neither skill nor assiduity on the part of our pro- ducers can remove the ca...uses of that disparity which places them at so great disadvantage. The remedy, the only remedy, is in the hands of our national government. With that power it rests to say whether, in this great question of public and economic policy, their own people or foreigners shall be first considered. OUR EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURES. For nearly half a century, we have annually exported more or less of domestic manufactures. At first, these exports were small in amount ; and, although they have increased with the growth of the country, the relative prog- ress which we have made does not enable us to look with much confidence to that line of trade as a rapidly increasing source of national prosperity.
