This is an important question. but it
is not new one; it has for many years
engaged the time and talents of the best
men and ablest statesmen of every civil.

views Of the statesmen OF most coun-
tries to aid US in coming 10 a just con-
clusion. The writer Of the pamphlet to
which this side refers, treats the idea as
a fallacy. He says: Those who con
tend that it will, say that the are too
many tiIling the earth, and that we

by promising to give them more for
their articles than we should have 10

have the word Of the writer of The ad

reader few witnesses upon this point,
anO then present some brief views Of
our own. We have already presented
extracts from Mr.. Jefferson, fully sus-

Why so, Mr.. Jefferson? The answer
is obvious; that they may be mutual
benefit to each olher, the one furnishing
the agricultural products, and The other
the manufactured articles, IN exchange.
Mr. CALHOUN,
In 1916, was The champion Of Prolec
tive Tariff, and one of his strong grounds
was that It created home market for
agricultural products. He SAID "When
our manufactures have grown TO Ger

The farmer will find ready market ior
his surplus produce, and, what is Of al
