TUES DAY, NJ AY "a. 1912.


Agreeaby TO the call published in our last, quite
a respectable number of the freemen of this county
filling the seats of the town house-assembled
at Danville on Thursday last, to tuke into consid
Grafton the subject of Protective Tariff The
meeting what we expected it would bo-spirlt-
ed, and strong feeling was manifested IN favor OF
Protection, which is also fully expressed in the res
oIutions The discussion of the resolutions was
able and ELECTED much information upon the SUBJ
ect. Most OF the speeches were short, yet they
were TO the point. We have seldom heard more
impressive or forcible speech than was made by
Mr. Morril in advocacy of the doctrine of Protec-
ton, and only wished that every freeman of
the county might have heard il. Mr. f. Fairbanks
followed Mr. Nj. u showed in a convincing manner
that Protection originated with the Republican
Fathers of our land, and the necessity of insisting
upon the doctrine Of Protection now and that the
free trade notions urged upon the country by for
egnors and the south, with their northern allies,
would bring upon utter ruin.
! There present some half dozen who are
attached TO the political party whose representa-
! tives in Congress uniformly oppose the doctrine
commended for by the Convention, and two or three
of them assentcd to the resolutions. The call was
general the friends of protection, but beggarly
few only of the opposition cared enough for the
| cause to be present.
