Revenue ana projection.

And leaves the bad, TOO bad 10 take away
Revenue and Prorecrion.
A correspondent asks us to answer this Free
Trade cavi: "Protective Duties are hostile to
Revenue. five protect every sort of Industry at
home, we shall get Revenue from Imports"
Now the only answer this needs is reference to
the fact that, our Re0eRue aoas abundant during
The gears of highest Protection-higher than is
now contemplated. IF any man doubts on this
head, glance at the returns ofRevenue for 1929,
go, 81, 32, 33, "a, '35, '36-the eight years of
highest Protection-wil satisfy him. This cavil
against Protection is stone dead 1t answered some
purpose in 1s20-25, when heavy landholdcrs sold
Cor threatened to selD their Real Estate to avoid
the Direct Taxes which they were made to believe
Protection would render necessary. Since 1880 i,
has been dead humbug.
England buys very few or no manufactures from
other Nations, yet her commerce is greater thar
tina, of any other nation is her Revenue from
Imports. Need we say morel
The truth is, that the first condition of heavy
importations is ability to pay, and this depends on
the activity and reward of Home Industry. Double
the Production Of the Country, and we Increase
the Imports, no matterif the duties are high Let
us make our own Cloth, Cutlery, &c. and we shall
buy twice as nush Of Laces, Wines, Teas, Coffee,
Spices, Drugs and Dyewoods, Hides, Fancy Goods,
&c. &c. as we now do-to say nothing of raw
staples to whose cheap production our climate and
soil are not adapted. Let us produce all that our
climate does not forbid or discourage, and such
would be the increased Industry and Production OF

cent. on the tropical and other products should
then buy would amply support the Government
At this moment the Laborers of Lowell doubtless
pay more to the Government than those of al
Mississippi Why9 Because they are able Blu
let Protection be withheld aud they will not, be
cause they cannot. So in other cases.
% No reader Of the Tribune can need to b.
assured that we have never written one line for th
Commercial or any other paper than our own il
relation to Noah's rascaties. We never desired
any one so to write, and have not the writer il
the Commercial (whom we recognize by her sigma
ture) for the last month We are grateful for tn
kind intent of those articles, but we ask no aid L
fight our own battles. That we have ever said w

monstrous Noaksm-we never had a thought @
the kind. But what in trying to keep tract
of the Unions libes?
