The Dingley and Payne tariff bills have forced another sort of exportation. which grieves every lover of our country. and that is the exportation of good American citizens to the British Northwest. Last year 86.000 Americans. chiefly from the Mississippi Valley. expatriated themselves. largely because they can purchase all products. including American farm implements and other articles manufactured in America. more cheaply in the British possessions than they can purchase them at home. These emigrants from the United States are among our best citizens and this departure is a great and serious loss to the Republic. for they are going at the rate of nearly 100.000 per amum. No man can figure out the money value of a good. lawabiding citizen.
